The New York Knicks have played 25 games so far this season, and I thought it might be a good time to look at the quarter(ish)-season in review. I should warn you all in advance that, as you have probably come to expect from me, this will be a stats-based review (all of which come from nba.com/stats, by the way). The plan is to examine both how often the Knicks are taking shots in each zone on the floor and how often their opponents are taking shots in each of those zones. I don't find it particularly relevant to this exercise to know how many shots New York or their opponents are actually making, for two reasons: first, 25 games is not a large sample size, so there will be a lot of randomness in FG%; and second, the point is to examine the Knicks' offensive and defensive schemes, not the success of those schemes.
Where do the Knicks take shots, and where do they allow shots?
