I didn't realize there were rules to changing your beliefs on different transactions.

There's a difference between changing your beliefs in hindsight of a move and straight up bashing him for it acting like he was retarded for ever doing it.

We'll see how healthy those old legs are around March. I doubt they will be lighting it up from downtown as the season progresses. Who knows, I could be wrong doe

Im not worried.

Since Kidd and Sheed only play 27 and 14mpg respectively

lol mpg don't matter. Do you really think that there is a difference between playing 20 and 30 minutes? Think about it.
I'm talking about playing everyday. Their bodies will wear out quicker than younger players.

 

[Pugz]

minutes do matter.

 

[youngguru]

minutes do matter.

nope.

 

[dez]

Nah Pugz he's right, minutes dont matter lol

The bigger issue is their dependance on 3 pointers, not age.

 

[dez]

I agree with you there cheato

But last nights comeback was more about ball movement and defense then 3's.

We fell behind early because of no movement on offense, settling for long 2's/3's and nonchalant defense. We came back because we corrected it and started showing life on defense and had great ball movement.

We do live and die by the three, and that cant stay that way if we're trying to win it all, but it sure dont hurt when we're knocking em down... and that happens more often then not.

They go hand in hand in my opinion. Tired legs = poor shooting

Lets be honest, you guys came back because Melo put up 45 lol

i agree with that. im also not a fan of shoot 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. even if they have young legs the shooting will slow down and kill them.

The Knicks certainly have the personnel to run the type of offense they are. Lots of ball movement, open 3s. It's certainly not flukey they're hitting them all. Just hard to predict how the team will fair in the playoffs in a short series. Could beat anyone, but could lose to anyone if they go cold.

Will they be that effective once Amare comes back? I don't see it. Right now, the majority of the time the Knicks have 4-5 three point shooters on the court. Almost impossible to defend with great ball movement. Once Amare is back they will have 3 shooters in the starting line-up... much easier to defend since you aren't stuck with your 4 guarding Melo/Kidd/Novak/Smith/etc.

Let's be honest, the Nets aren't contenders no matter what the Knicks do....

 

[youngguru]

The Heat have the east locked anyways... I've never said anything different

That's what I find so funny, these Knicks-Nets games are being hyped up but they don't mean squat.
