via Reddit: In the second half of the season, the Knicks have 5 players who are shooting 40% from 3 on at least 100 attempts (Randle, Barrett, IQ, Burks, Bullock). No other team has more than 3.

And coincidently we played much better ball in 2nd half. Definitely need to add shooters and bring back BnB to maintain that. You would think that the paint would have opened up for Julius but I feel like he’s taken way more jumpers. Would love to see him get more shots at rim like he did earlier in season.

Knicks don't have a big time PnR ball handler or slasher to the rim. It would open up things for Julius.
Rose plays most of his minutes opposite Randle and gets more points for himself than others
Interesting statistics and reflection on our performance and success level. PnR ball handler necessity has to be addressed by way of a superior level point guard. Players that can orchestrate. Drose has always been more of a scoring guard. Should there be more of an emphasis on RJ slashing on offence?
Rose,burks,bullock have all exceeded my expectations this season. But I’m always interested in adding shooting. Nesmith last draft. This year I like the look of kispert. ( maybe a little too one dimensional? )

Julius not posting up as much as he did in the 1st half of the season. The lack of post ups may be due to the double-teams he's been seeing more of in the 2nd half... Better to face up so you can see the doubles coming...With that said, I don't want us to completely abandon the post up game as to get Julius better looks in the paint. In other words, lets not anticipate the double, lets see if its a part of the other teams game-plan before Julius is playing strictly out on the perimeter.
All of these guys becoming shooters this year has been one of the biggest keys to success. We have always been behind the curve on the 3pt revolution until now.
Is it just me, or do Randle's 3's always look like they would be perfect even on a 9 inch rim?
God, I love this team. Pummeling a team in the 4th quarter. So nice.
Great to see Barrett really shine - that was the biggest concern I and I think many here had for him. I knew Randle could shoot well, the others definitely- great to see IQ.
