Then you look at stats and see that he's shooting like 40% for three and people who don't watch the Knicks think he had a nice season. NO. He's been shooting badly whenever the Knicks need it. He only shoots well when the Knicks are either up by 15+ or down by 15+.
I love him but you're absolutely right. Smith was like this last year, tho he does more. Novak is hitting the shots when the pressure is off. He's got to play MUCH better. And, honestly, 40% isn't enough for him. He needs to shoot better than that.
They were just two wins away in 10/11, a year they were still learning to play together so had a rough start. As for last year, you may recall that it was a little short.
They weren't on pace tho...but you said any team with him is guaranteed to win 60. In the East, with Wade playing great, they didn't win 60...and last year, they weren't on pace. So I don't think he's an automatic 60wins.
you people seriously arguing over us losing when we are missing our 3 biggest pieces, dont pretend like u expect our team minus them to be knocking off top teams,
im just hoping that at least melo and chandler get healthy and 100% come playoff time
That train of thought is reserved for teams that are known to hit the light switch on once the post-season begins.
An organization that isn't known for that characteristic - who hasn't escaped the first round in 10+ years - isn't afforded that safety net.
I will say that this game was trivial though, Knicks aren't beating anyone without Melo or Chandler. Gonna suck though, because after being as close as a couple of games for the #1 seed 6 weeks ago, the Knicks very well may end up a 4th or even 5th seed.

yea i agree, but what else do i get to bank on when half our team is injured each year during the regular season and playoffs, hoping they can get it clicking and make a serious run when it counts

I hear you, that's a realistic point. If fans had no hope, they wouldn't watch. I may not agree with your hopes, but I can understand why you feel that way.
