From NBA.com:

“The Knicks have taken 49.4% of their shots from 3-point range.

That’s the league’s third-highest rate and up from 38.2% (28th) last season.

Overall, the league has taken a lower percentage of its shots from 3-point range (41.7%) than it did last season (42.1%), with 16 of the 30 teams seeing drops. The Knicks, under new coach Mike Brown, have seen the biggest jump by a huge margin …

The change in shot diet hasn’t yet worked out for the Knicks, who rank 24th offensively, having seen the league’s fifth biggest drop in points scored per 100 possessions from last season. The three Knicks with the most 3-point attempts — OG Anunoby, Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns — are a combined 28-for-87 (32.2%) from beyond the arc.

They’ll try to get the offense back on track when they visit the Bulls on Friday…”

How’d that go?

Ja Morant cannot get out of his own way.

Maybe we can get him for Yabu.

I am gonna sit down soon to watch my second rooting-interest game 7 of the year. Life is good outside of unconditional-love land.

actually you know what marechal, not my place to say – vent away…

it’s possible to see how convenient it might be to consolidate all the woes of the world in to a single source bucket – the knickerbocker shit is fucked up bucket…shift focus from more inconvenient truths…not a bad strategy…

yeah man, KAT is soft, jalen only makes himself better, josh is lost, yabu is lost, huk isn’t getting any more minutes…OG still can’t dribble the ball…our bench is pathetic…

we never should have done nothing that got us to this fucked up point in time, none of it…“If the rule you followed brought you to this, of what use was the rule?”

Increasingly looks like that I-Hart leaving was the fork on the road moment that closed the contention window for this team. I’m not convinced a team with KAT (and Brunson) defensively will ever be good enough to win the title.

I might bet against him just giving up one run over 3 innings, but I am mostly certainly interested to see what happens…

maybe shohei shows out again…could be several stand out performances…

I’d favor the dodgers, but the jays are in it to win it…and maybe they will…

We are only 5 games into a new regime, so I’m gonna choose to be really optimistic. It’s true that we have way too much talent to be playing this way, but Mike Brown’s system is the polar opposite of Thibs’, and that’s gotta be a shock to the system even with training camp and preseason behind us. It’s gonna take a little time for the guys to hit their stride, but there’s alot to like so far. They just need consistency with their focus within the new system. Hell..Brown got Brunson and Clarkson to give better effort on the defensive side so that can only mean good things are on the way. I do wanna share one thing I really like and one thing I really dislike:
LIKE- Bridges and Anunoby on defense. Brown is using them in a much better way than Thibs did. And now that Mitch is back, I expect a much better defense in short order.
DISLIKE- KAT is still stuck pump faking then driving from the 3pt line. If he were healthy, it probably wouldn’t be as big an issue, but KAT really needs to start his possessions inside the arc. I’m not a fan of his handle out there

I’d guess the Jays would be thrilled to get 3 innings of one run ball from Scherzer, then go to the pen. All hands on deck.

Can he give them even that, though?

scherzer’s facial expressions (good or bad) or worth seeing him up there on the mound…gonna be hard for anyone to stand on the mound tonight and not have a death grip on the ball…

I don’t know, they are professionals, so who knows…

lots of names on both sides, if i had to bet on just one guy to win it late: freddie freeman…he just has that that…hmmmmm, maybe mookie…

vladdy junior ain’t that shy a guy under the lights either though…this should be fun…
