He sounds stupid anyway. Virtually every team left in the playoffs has an offense that relies on 3-pointers. And the last several Finals saw teams that take and hit a lot of 3s playing for the title: Dallas, OKC, SAS, and Miami.

Those teams you mentioned shoot the three but they don't rely on it...I think some are taking Phil Jax a little to literal...

GS Cavs and Hawks take almost 30 threes a game. Chi is at 27, Wizards at 25. Only the Grizzlies dont. Phil sounds dumb as hell, he isnt the coach, he needs to close his mouth, shut down his twitter and watch the games.

You are looking at playoff numbers..Rockets took close to 33 per during the regular season..In recent years, Teams winning Championships wasn't reliant on the three...Miami, SAS, Dallas shot 22/23 per...I think you have to have an inside game as well..Doesn't mean GS won't win..But you can see how they are vulnerable..Phil is far from dumb..He does need to step away from the keyboard tho..

Of course I'm looking at playoff numbers as I should, isnt the playoffs going on? Last year SA was in the top 10, Miami was in the top 5 in threes attempted, the previous year both were in the top 10 as well with the difference between 2 and 10 being a mere 4 attempts. Just curious, what was SA, Dallas, and Miami's "inside game"?

U can't look at playoff results because it's a smaller sample and you are disproving your own point...SA was top 10 of 16 teams????????..Does that make sense???..SA was 17th in 3PA during the regular season and won a Championship..Phil might know something, what do u think???

What do you think Phil himself is watching? His tweets are based on the playoffs, not regular season Matchups. We are talking about winning TITLES. What team won a title in the regular season? You're better than this.

This is a refreshing change from the MDA era (3 seconds or less)

if you live by the 2, you will definitely die by the two

I would rather my players take 22 foot 3's than 21 foot stupid jason smith shots

well yeah but I would rather them take a 15 footer than run to the corner and chuck

you should take a look at the percentage differences between a 15 footer and the 3.

you definitely want to take a 3 before a 15 footer.

what you really want is for the 3 ball to open up the lane so that you can attack the basket.

I understand the math but I think always going for the three makes the offense predictable. Especially in May and June

Not only that, the 3 from the corner is closer than other 3s and is the highest payoff shot after layups.

I would like to see the volatility numbers for corner threes. It seems an awful lot like feast or famine.

more feast or famine than the 15 footer?

what he is doing is so 90's. Which top GM's are taking to twitter and media with stupid mind games?

so not cool.

It's border line childish, every time another team associated with either ex knick players or a certain systems is having success, he pops up on twitter with subliminal shots.

STFU and handle whats in front of you, lord knows you have played yourself royally so far.

kgb

surprised he knows how to tweet

Just as a frame of reference this kind of stuff has been going on for years. The battle with everyone else over his way of doing things and others was going on back in the 90's. It comes from all sides and it's partly based on jealously IMO. Dude has won an immense amount of games and since he did it differently than everyone else he's a target. They couldn't wait for things to fail this year so they could say "I Told You So".

The way I see it, Phil is doing what he always did. He was always a bit of a jerk with his comments. He's got control of a team in the league so it's not like he's taking shots and won't have to face all these teams in the coming years. He's very much going to either show what he can do or be humbled. Just cuz he makes comments doesn't mean he's not handling his business, so I don't get the point of bashing him over that.

Phil has the fortunes of our team in his hands right now so we all should hope that he is successful this summer and beyond.

Phil is in a verbal twitter battle with himself...No one is attacking Phil...Phil isn't handling biz because of bad trades and the team record...Much of it he has admitted..This isn't the time for him to speak up about what other teams that has made the playoffs are doing...Especially when his team couldn't make the playoffs..

What does taking what the DEFENSE gives you mean?
What is the purpose of going small to give penetration lane as an easy option with stretch 4's and SF's playing PF?
What does playing to the strength of the talent mean?
When teams go small we going to go big and let them hit the uncontested 3pt shot with 2 BIGS?
If we go small with them, we will have to be able to penetrate as a top option, as well as it could lead to a wide open 3pt shot with good ball movement/attacking the paint...

The 3pter if uncontested is a much easier shot for many than a contested long range 2, unless we have Jordan in his prime, a young KG, Anthony Davis, Cousins, Pau Gasol/LA, or talents of that caliber
It is no longer a hard shot, especially for the closer baseline 3pters

There is a semi zone allowed to be played now, along with much more athleticism/mobility/ball handlers and shooters in all positions than the old school way, in which the league is lead by majority of good PG play whether for facilitating or scoring...

GS along with many other teams, do not look to just take the 3pter shot, they do penetrate and spread the floor, with some post ups if they have the matchup with either Bogut, Green, Barnes, Klay, or Shaun Livingston, Lee *which doesn't get much minutes any more*

They are a TOP DEFENSIVE team

Instead of trolling teams that are winning, focus on what we can do to get the Knick's better?
What is the purpose of saying such things, as Curry will be a URA in the next couple of years with other 3pt shooters, if PHil Jackson tells me he will not target players that could hit the 3pter, he is FULL OF CRAP

NixLuva,
Did Dantoni just look to hit the 3pter?
Who you have always defended but right now since Phil Jackson is our President of Operations you defend him and his take?
While almost the entire league has some sort of philosophy, ususage of Dantoni's philosophy with Eureopean style of play, as it leads to layups/dunks, better spacing as an easy high % shot, or a wide open 3pter!
So take a stance and defend it, however, you cannot have it both ways...

You were one of the huge supporters of AB and many has ripped the Knicks for making such a move and those assets we could have saved/used would have been better spent in any other way period!
We could have probably used those picks to move up to get Giannnes to pair with CA and FIT with his versatility or use it for other talents as well instead of using it for an amensty target..
Maybe we could have gotton Walter Tavaras, Mike Muscula, and/or whoever, as well, instead we drafted a position that we had the most depth in and he wasn't even the HIGHEST CEILING talent either while Gobert's unitize physical abilities actually filled a need and is SUPER RARE with his size/mobility/athleticism and LENGTH

You are extremely optimistic, however, you are way over the TOP on it, defending any moves Knick's could make and say "I SEE NO REASON WHY IT COULDN'T BE BETTER"
