when a team has a group of guys who are questionable decision-makers, taking more shots than they should and passing less than they should, the result is that the team will have a hard time establishing chemistry and synergy. our core is filled to the brim with these sorts of players. the result is an offense that is not good enough to contend-- this is essentially the message magic johnson was sending before the break concerning this team.
the only real chance the knicks have of succeeding is focussing their energies on the defensive end of the court, creating turnovers and easy points.
but will players listen to woodson or tune him out... assuming that he actually demands that sort of defensive effort in the first place?
knicks win 38-43 games in 16-17. rose MUST shoot no more than 14 shots per game, defer to kp6 + melo, and have a usage rate of less than 25%
