seeing the celtics compete leaves me refreshed and hopeful. I dont like the celts, nothing personal just in the spirit of things, but they prove the undervalued lesson on Chemistry. months ago when we were debating getting JR smith, I didnt like it for one reason bcuz it thought would hinder the growth of our chemistry as a unit, I just knew the Celtics were gonna ball harder than usbut not because they were better simply because those guys actually know and CARE about each other. They have Talent but really man they have Flow! This knick squad has a core four that we just need to stick with and let these guys develop. CHOP the stats up however the fuck you want when the whistle is blown its about being hell bent on not letting your man down. getting to the point where that aura is the dominating force in your locker room takes Time even if you have the talent. this season is not going to be our fairy tale but this year is about growing that core finding those four guys that we will finally stop talking about trading and we have no doubt will retire here. 45 – 50 wins and the EAST FINALS, where that core shows up, thats my prediction.

His avatar must have been standing 1 foot in front of the 3 point line when he sent the tweet.

heh, I find it hard to believe anyone in the league had worse shot selection than that guy this year. infuriating, but we still desperately need him to come back…

Brian Cronin: That really is a remarkable mix of players there all having career-worst shooting years.

And it also says a lot about Baron Davis that he’s had worse years shooting the ball in his career (it was his worst year from a TS% standpoint, at least).

Shoot, forgot about Baron. How soon he is out of sight/mind. He was terrible too!

Anyway, if we add Baron and Bill Walker to the list of players having essentially their worst offensive (TS) year of their careers, then 3162 out of a total 5335 FGA were shot by players having the worst season of their careers. Most of the rest were shot by Chandler, Novak, and rookies. No wonder our offense sucked.

Unfortunately when you have Fields, Douglas, Melo, JR, and Amare all having career-worst shooting years
