You live by the three you die by the three. Bad habits are hard to break. D'Antoni is not complaining about too many 3s so he is blessing it. If this keeps up this will be his last year.

They are 3 games too late already.

Occasional three where maybe 5-10 are attempted in the course of the game is what is needed. Fast breaks when opportunities are presented. I think D'Antoni can adjust the team to that kind of system. It needs to be done can't continue to jack up threes. Not a good way to play basketball.

I think you are right about what needs to be done. I think D'Antoni is too rigid to make those adjustments. D'Antoni's signature is his offense. His focus is his offense. If his team loses he works on perfecting the offense so it doesn't lose. He is what he is. I don't see that change happening but I am happy that there are good defensive players on his team and that the rookies are in the rotation.

Even Pat Riley changed systems and he won championships running showtime. I think D'Antoni should definitely consider changing the system, he is very capable of doing it and he basically has to do it because its not working whatever he is trying to do with the Knicks.

d'antoni said we'll be fine as long as we keep shooting threes and cut down on dribble penetration.

We'll be fine. Next game we'll shoot 40 threes! To heck if we only make 7!

If the 3's were open and the right person is taking it I don't have issue about. But chandler doesn't have the range and not smart it enough to see he is tightly covered.

No way, under any circumstances, should a team shoot 30+ threes in a 48 minutes game. And after an offseason where you got a beast close to the basket, a 50%+ shooter, the least you are gonna do is make him shoot threes. The team is a mess and it starts with the coach.

there were several game last season where gallo took 15 by himself

if defense are clogging up the pnr I don't have an issue as long as the person can shoot and smart enough. Problem is we don't have a shooter. Gallo is only closest we got that can shoot from the outside. TD and Ray are not as expected as he is. If gallo can't shoot he is killing us. Fields and Chandler are more slasher (sprewell) and if gallo was more like (h20) we would have more spacing. By the time AZ comes back it maybe too late.

Didn't we have this conversation a while ago? There was 1 game last season that gallo took 15 or more 3 pointers. That game he was 8-16. If you are shooting 50% from 3 I don't think you should stop shooting the 3.

Please take some time and look at the stats if you want to make an argument. Almost all of the games where he shoots a very high number of 3s, its because he is hitting a very high percentage of them.
