its funny seeing Thibs haters on twitter wanting Malone as the next coach.... when Malone pushed for more vets, refused to play younger guys and rode his starters with an 8 man rotation which led to arguments iwth the front office

I want a coach that has the Knicks jacking up at least 45 3PT shots per game.

Jenkins is your man. I dont want Malone either. Malone is just Thibs part 2, same breed and mold. Get me a younger, hungrier coach that gets todays NBA. Jenkins will have KAT feasting beyond the arc.

This new NBA is such a joke lol you want a team that will be second in The NBA in 3PT attempts? Why? 11 of the top 17 teams that attempt the most 3's per game are either in the lottery or play in(awful teams). Just need efficient offense not a three every other shot

I agree that efficient offense is efficient offense, but we still should be running sets that generate more more 3PAs.

We can still give Brunson his 1 v 1 attacks but he'd have a lot more space to create if guys are knocking down from outside.

Towns should be taking way more threes.

Mikal should be getting looks in the mid range

I don't think Tom has remotely scratched the surface with what this team can do offensively.

This team should be unstoppable

Since it seems we aren't capable of being an elite defensive team, why not play to our strengths?

We are top 10 in 3pt % and have guys who are very good, even elite, at making them....Why would we not want to take more if 3pts are better than 2's?

The Cavs and Celtics are #4 and #1 in the league in 3PT attempts...Thunder #10....they are the 3 top teams in offensive rating, the 3 best teams in the NBA, and consensus contenders.

We are 4th to last in attempts and our offense looks goofy against good teams... Yet the fact we are still 5th in offensive rating shows we could just be scratching the surface of our offensive potential...with the right offensive system, we could become #1 and have an unstoppable offense that leaves teams scrambling trying to figure out how to adjust and defend us....and they would never, EVER try a zone against us. :lol:

Now that is has been established that the Celtics are playing for real. By how many points will they be up in the first half? I will predict 25.

It really must suck for the fans who purchase tickets to games like this, when most if not all of their favorite players DNP to rest for the playoffs. The NBA or the teams should offer them vouchers for free merch or something like that to compensate them.


I would never buy a ticket to any games in April that aren't playoffs.


Sometimes a team is fighting for a seeding, but mostly, yes, I agree.
