    I remember Bill saying that the Rockets were on pace to break the NBA 3 point shooting record this season which is at 841 in a year by the Orlando Magic (we still are).

    Unfortunately, the Knicks are ahead of us and actually just broke the record tonight in the 1st quarter.

    Even if we break the Magic's record (which we will), the Knicks will in all likelihood have more than us anyway, and would own the record.

    I blame Novak :mad:

    You should blame Melo and Smith. They probably account for 80% of the Knicks' 3 pointers.

    it's amazing how the 3 pointer has become such an integral part of the modern NBA offense. Of course, I'm old enough to remember watching Rockets games when there was no 3-pt line.

    I am glad to see the Rockets know how to win a game with bad 3pts shooting.

    That's more important.

    Wise words. We have to keep on getting better. As long as our guys don't give up and keep on fighting, we will be ok.

    I keep saying this. We need to sign Kyle Korver this offseason. If not him than Reddick or maybe Morrow. Garcia is good too. Just trying to think who is available.

    We aint consistent, we don't really know how to shoot 3s. We are throwing it just to try our luck like playing with the slot machine. knicks deserve the record, i think.

    We're 8th in 3 point % at .367, I think we're pretty good with 3's.

    It will be broken again soon enough. One of those records that are very much in flux right now because of where the game is going.

    Sign good 3pt shooters than can defend as well. And i think Korver is the right choice. You don't want to sign good 3pts shooter than can't defend cuz then they don't get much minutes on the court anyway.

    Not sure how the Rocket's offense is a gimmick. Shooting threes part of the game these days.
