Turnovers Knicks' Biggest Obstacle to Victory

Yes, its been a long time since I blogged here. But I want to post my conclusion about this 06-07 Knicks team: we only need to shore up on our turnovers.

You say, "KMC, the knicks' perimeter defense blows!"

And I can't disagree with that.

You might even say "KMC, the knicks have no shot blockers."

This I can not argue with.

But when you look at all the statistics (we're number one in the league in rebounding, get to the line more than the opponents, shoot a better percentage than our opponents, we only get outscored on average 1.8 points per game) the only one that needs to be modified to consistently win is turnovers. I do believe that if we can cut our turnovers per game, lessen them by say, 2, that it will result in victory on a regular basis. This can be hard to do, especially when you're adding francis to the mix, a career high-turnover player to the likes of Crawford, Marbury, Curry and Richardson. Nevertheless, if a few of those guys can develop some chemistry and learn where the others are going to be and what the like to do with the ball, the knicks will be the ONE team that makes the playoffs in the atlantic.

yes, only one team in the atlantic will make the playoffs this year. hopefully it is the new york knicks.
