Knick fans don’t have much to cheer about but this years team doesn’t tap out easily anymore and it’s refreshing to see

We hear about this all the time, but the volume of threes has yet to hit the wall in terms of efficiency so why would we not continue to push the envelope until the wall is hit.

Evolution of thought process. I love to see it. People would be better served opening their mind to things instead of digging their heels into pre-established opinions.
Look at me though. SOME people didn't believe in the man. EYE always did.

Wonder when and who we start to see push the limits of taking 3s just before hitting this suspected 60% marker of diminishing returns

Jaylen Brown is Kyle Kuzma with opportunity, amirite?I just looked at some of those pages.
Anyone still taking Kyle Kuzma over Jaylen Brown?

I think it has to continue to move toward more 3s, no way around it. It’s a numbers game that you can be less efficient (to an extent) but end up with more points.
Let’s say you take 40 shots in a half,
make 35% of the 3s, it’s 42 points
You can shoot 50% from 2 on that same 40 shots, and only get 40 points.
Not an exact science obviously, and you can only be so effective unless you have guys who can collapse a defense in the paint for a kick out. but it creates this house advantage if you can shoot, as we’ve seen. A great 3 point shooting team is going to win, on average
And why most of the time teams that have too many guys that can’t shoot are at the bottom of the standings.

He is a flawed player that puts the ceiling on the team. Who cares about what the rest of it looks like.

So what? Until he helps get the Sixers to the Finals or even conference finals, people are going to focus more on what he doesn’t do than what he does. That’s how it works.
That’s why I don’t bother highlighting the good things PG’s been doing this season. Not going to change minds about him unless he does it in the playoffs too.
all good and im here to hype/defend ben up every chance i get
im here to remind yall every night a nba player like simmons has more impact on a game than just scoring, whether he be facilitating, defense or sitting around the post to allow embiid to knock down his signature jumper
i will continue doing it every time
