Please, just stop playing word games with us....it's a basketball forum and when you say a guy can "knock down the three" it means they're actually GOOD at shooting it.

Porzingis' apparent boner inducing start to the NBA season has drained the blood from desperate (who can blame them) Knick fan brains. He's doing great, this is great news for the Knicks future....let the kid develop. Who knows, maybe one day he will be able to shoot 3's....but for now....it's stupid to have him shooting 3-4 a game.

GS has Clippers-Bulls in an upcoming back2back so I think this is where the streak ends.
At least the Bulls game is at Oracle.

You are starting to sound like the Miami fans did 3-4 years ago, just saying.

There is also a chance that a small meteorite could come out of nowhere and kill all of the Kardashians and extended family at a single televised Thanksgiving special.

I mean, if you're going to dream....go big....really big.

An event like that would get more press coverage than any other event to date lol.

He's 7-32 after today. Not counting the one that didn't count. But considering his form, I guarantee you that once he gets used to tall, highly athletic guys jumping at him, he'll shoot threes at a much higher percentage. Dirk had the same issues.




I'm not even a Knick fan. I just realize that there's a difference between judging numbers and judging talent.

But again, that's just one game so I wouldn't put much stock in EITHER one.
Yep, I agree. They need Mo to be big come playoff time, and I have my doubts about that

We can def. agree that with the Euro 3 distance being different, Mirotic (and others) have had the same problem and adjusted.

I'm merely stating that:

1) Let's wait and credit him when going 1/4 doesn't actually improve his %.

2) Is that really the best use of your center? I mean sure, certain nights it can be a mismatch but do you really long-term want him playing out there instead of inside? Maybe that's what they have to do because of their personnel but IMO I'd rather have him in closer.

I'm not talking about him taking 1-2 a game if he's given a wide-open look but rather how they have him taking 4 a game right now when he's obviously needing to work on that shot.
