If he is and everyone else is healthy, than playoffs will not be the question; it's how far we can advance. He can help Ariza and if we draft a swingman, he can hepl him too. Unlike most people, I'm optimistic about Houston's return. I have my faith...Knicks.com
Wow! I didnt know Houston had those kinds of numbers. He's not going to catch up to John Starks though. That man took a whole lot of treys....But anyway a disappointing season for the former All Star. Hopefully he can get it together next season.
Why can't he catch up to John Starks? He's only 61 FG attempts behind and if he's healthy for a good portion of the season he only needs to take one 3 a game to break his record. He can also catch up to Willis Reed too.
Ah! You're right. I didnt even bother to do the math. If he's healthy this season he's practically got John Starks beat(although at the rate Crawford is shooting treys Starks and Houston may have competition simply because he takes so many of them). If he's healthy for the remaining two years of his contract he'll probably beat out Reed as well. GO HOUSTON!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!!! Anyway I think Isiah Thomas should be fired.
