I have been beating this drum for years. We shoot way too many 3's. I guess I have been silenced since we won it all last year but can we at least agree that shooting 60 Threes is excessive? Even for Joe? The fact he keeps doubling down and seems to not recognize those moments when it's an off night disturbs me.

They won't shoot 60 again, but they will definitely continue to shoot around 45-50. Orlando had an elite 3-point defense so they didn't attempt as many but NY's defense is not good and they'll continue to get open looks. They just need to knock some more of them down

They should drive more to the hoop because the Knicks front-court is not that good. KAT is a mediocre defender. Robinson? Meh. They miss Hartenstein.

Pretty disgusting.  It was so apparent that they should move the ball and drive but opted to believe they?d start falling. Given they are a team that CAN do other things, it is exasperating to watch them continue to chuck and miss.  Unfortunately there have been enough bad shooting starts that have turned around that they always think it will turn around.  I understand that, but just stop looking for the three.  Let threes open up as you move the ball. It?s not so much the threes as it is the attitude - let?s just keep chucking em.
