The Knicks’ Offense Is Stuck – Here’s How They Can Unlock It | HHT 49

In the forty-ninth episode of the Hot Hand Theory Podcast, Geoff and XJ break down why the New York Knicks’ offense has stalled after the All-Star break, how their three-point shooting and shot selection have changed, and whether Tom Thibodeau can fix these issues before the playoffs start next month.

Since the All-Star break, the Knicks have been grinding out close games, but the numbers paint a concerning picture:

✦ Offensive rating has dropped from 2nd to 25th in the NBA.

✦ Shot selection has shifted to inefficient long midrange jumpers instead of rim attempts.

✦ Three-point shooting has regressed from 38.3% to 33.8%.

✦ Mitchell Robinson’s return and how it affects Karl-Anthony Towns, spacing, and the Knicks' offense.

Topics Covered:

🔹 Why the Knicks’ offense feels “stuck” right now

🔹 The hidden impact of shot selection & lineup changes

🔹 How Jalen Brunson & Karl-Anthony Towns can get better looks

🔹 The (new) case for Deuce McBride in the starting lineup

🔹 What Thibs must adjust to unlock the Knicks’ full potential
