Here’s Knicks forward Evan Fournier discussing the Knicks offense, via the New York Daily News:
“We started really well, shooting the ball well, sharing the ball, et cetera,” Fournier said Friday. “Now it’s not as good. So are we playing not as well because we are missing shots or are we missing shots because we aren’t sharing the ball? It’s always that question that you’ve got to ask yourself. In my opinion, it’s because we aren’t getting good shots and we aren’t working the defense well enough.”
In their last eight games leading up to Friday, the Knicks were tied for last in assists with the miserable Rockets and Thunder. Overall, they were 22nd in assists and 26th in assist percentage, which contrasts their high ranking (6th) in points per game…
“The main difference between the second unit and the first one is ball movement, body movement,” Fournier said. “At times it feels like we’re very stagnant. And we have to find that rhythm that we had early on, those first five games of the season. So just make sure we share the ball. Sometimes you pass the ball just to pass the ball and the rhythm is going to come back. Once we all touch the ball, you get a good rhythm, you get better shots. And then we all feel good. I think that’s the main thing going forward.”
The Knicks are on the road tonight, in Charlotte to face the Hornets (6-7).
