Have to feel for Knicks fans. Phil Jackson obviously doesnt know
anything about today's NBA. If he really thinks that 3 point shots are
bad, and doesnt see the importance of spacing the floor, I can now 100%
believe the reports of them being interested in players that play
essentially the same position as Melo (such as Greg Monroe). Now,
players at the combine have mentioned being asked about their knowledge
of the triangle in interviews with the Knicks. That means they really
are committed to running that as their primary offense, in a league
that is dominated by athletes, pace, and spacing the floor. You have to
play with pace unless you have an elite defensive team, and even then,
you still want to get out and run.
By the way Phil, the Knicks led the league in 3 point attempts the year
they won 54 games a couple of years ago. They dropped to 21st in
attempts this past season, and Oh, look at that! Worst record in
franchise history....And to answer his question, teams that shoot a lot
of 3s have won more than 60% of their games in the playoffs so far
