Knick fan not in NJ:
Could be.And Ntilikina shot 0.479!It was on only 48 attempts though

Frank has gotten very few minutes and has done some productive things. I hope that he helps us tame Trae. If he can do that, I’ll be very happy.

djphan:
there are some crazy 3pt shooting %s around the league… but no where near as many than this team:

Alec Burks – .406
Reggie Bulllock – .407
Julius Randle – .411 (!)
RJ Barrett – .401 (!!)
Derrick Rose – .411 (!!!)

i’m not sure how much this is repeatable for next year… the league has generally had 20 to 30 40%+ 3pt shooters over the last 20 years… this year there were over 50…

the defense was a big reason to this surprising season… i think the 3pt shooting had a lot to do with it also… not complaining tho..

Juiced ball?

(I’m sure the refs in Turkey will be much kinder to him next year.)

The refs have a conspiracy going against him

But you know what they say about a broken clock. Anyway, I say it around here periodically and it’s usually crickets but the thing about sports are the statistical anomalies. Most of the time the outcome is predictable but we watch because of shit like this. The unexpected does happen…

– Burks and Rose the only players missing games for COVID
– Mitch being the only player missing a significant number of games due to injury
– Randle and RJ staying injury free
– Numerous games where the opponent was missing a key player or players
– Ja missing a bunny at MSG which would have continued a difficult losing streak
– Graham missing a 3 for Charlotte that would have put us in the 6th seed

But you know what? After years of suffering, we Knicks fans deserve it!
