Nick C.: But do teams really take contested threes as a matter of course?

Teams with Jamal Crawford on them did.

as ruru’s been saying, all 3 point shots are not created equal. NY has been getting a lot of wide open looks and if that continues, the hot shooting might be somewhat sustainable.

the quantity of made 3s is maybe even more incredible, by the way. I think we have something like 20 more made 3s in the first 12 games of a season than any team has ever had before (last year’s ORL team had the old record).

The Knicks’ 3-point shooting has been just insane. Look at this ish:

Carmelo Anthony .419
Ray Felton .444
JR Smith .500
Jason Kidd .500
Ronnie Brewer .423
Steve Novak .403
Rasheed Wallace .324

Now compare that to the career three-point percentages of those players:

Carmelo Anthony .326 (+.093)
Ray Felton .333 (+.111)
JR Smith .371 (+.129)
Jason Kidd .350 (+.150)
Ronnie Brewer .259 (+.164)
Steve Novak .403 (-.031)
Rasheed Wallace .337 (-.013)

Doesn’t seem very sustainable. Hopefully the defense will get it going again to make up for it when that ridiculous shooting inevitably drops off.
