NBA shooting displays


Last week I highlighted the NBA shooting efforts of Raja Bell in Phoenix, this week its the NY Knicks. Not renowned for their offence last season, with a new coach they're playing a different style of game and tonight they had not just one player go nuts but two.

The first line that caught my attention was from their spark-plug off the bench, Nate Robinson (pictured right, nice basketball shooting form). In 29 minutes he had 21 points on 8 of 8 shooting including 5 triples!!

Upon further inspection and not to be outdone was rookie-starter Wilson Chandler who had 27 points on 11 of 12 shooting with a perfect 4 of 4 from downtown. He also had 7 boards, 3 assists and 3 steals.

The question is, was anyone in Memphis playing defence ... I think we all know the answer there is no.

At the other end of the spectrum were Rambo Ron Artest shooting 1 of 12 against the Suns and Russell Westbrook from the OKC Thunder shooting just 3 of 19. I told you that game was going to be ugly!
