BREAKING: The secret ingredient to Steve Novak's shooting is cheese.

Walt Frazier mentioned in passing several games ago that Steve Novak likes cheese. I assumed this was an allusion to the fact that Steve grew up in Wisconsin-- "The Queso State"-- but it now sounds like it's more than just a regional stereotype. Mike D'Antoni, speaking to Jared Zwerling, seconded the notion:
D'Antoni joked that cheese -- yes, cheese -- was the reason for his recent shooting surge, as he's connected on 41 of 86 3-pointers (47.7 percent) since Feb. 6, including five threes Wednesday night in a 120-103 rout over the Cavaliers.
"I don't know. I hear he eats a lot of cheese," D'Antoni said, smiling. "I have no idea."
1. Hmm. That's only 90-ish miles from Steve's hometown.
2. By this logic, I should be one of the greatest shooters of all time.
3. If Toney Douglas's Gatorade isn't spiked with melted Gouda by now, then somebody's being irresponsible.
4. Novolone? Nah, nevermind.

You know how Seahawk fan throw Skittles at MarShon Lynch whenever he scores a touchdown?
We should start throwing these whenever he gets a big bucket
Carmelo Anthony is an overrated ballhog and the reason the Knicks lost each game this year
Except that's not cheese.
Not sure if anyone from Wisconsin would know what the hell that thing is.
Should some body has come up with a fancy nickname for Novak by now?
don't bully me, i am from the D(etroit)!!!
I'm actually completely down for this

Now I'm wondering who really has the worst farts on the team
I dream of Eddy Curry feeding me fish sticks.
Look at it Dave. Look at it.

I knew there was reason I loved CHEESE!!!

Novak's new nickname:
“The Mozzarella Marksman”
He sure saved us the other night
When he makes a particularly tough shot he could be sending up a prayer. Also, it keeps with the religious associations in the team. Doesn’t Lin want to be the Preacher?
On second thought that might be a bit too relief pitchery
How about, “We love you Cheesus?” on the other side of their Linsanity signs.
Maybe he could work the sign of the cross into the discount double check move?
Also, his specialty is the three which could be related to the Holy Trinity. This might be something for Mr. Gunda to examine.
this one is actually pretty good

Look at it Dave. Look at it.

not for nothing
but I believe a solid argument can be made for following the daily reptile/amphibian with cheeses when seth runs out.
also, i think novak should look for some cheese-related endorsements…novaKraft mac n’ cheese?

Didn't make it. Wish I did.
Discount Triple Cheese it is!

The Big Cheese sounds simple enough for me
And the Monterrey Jacker when he has a bad game
Also...
Behold the power of cheese!
Let's look at our current players
Lin—the guy who sleeps on his bro’s couch
Novak—the guy who wins through the power of cheese
Shumpert—the guy whose defense looks like Kung Fu panda 3
JR Smith—the guy with enough tattoo and criminal record to create his own gang
Melo—the guy who holds more balls than a pornstar
Stat—the guy with issues
and the rest of the crazies
It’s like a traveling freak show =)
novak is amazing
i see this guy calling for the ball 5 feet behind the line on the wing, and i’m yelling at my tv “get it to novak, he’s open!” lol. incredible, incredible, incredible pure shooter. best i have ever seen.
Anxiously awaiting the day my username will be appropriate
Does anyone have clips of all the great dunks?
The Knicks wanted to stay up and cuddle, but I fell asleep right after the Novakulation.

Strikeouts are boring- Besides that, they're fascist. Throw some ground balls - it's more democratic.
Well, Seth
It’s about the type of cheese you eat. Steve Novak, in all likelihood, eats Wisconsin cheese only. So cheddar and the like. If you’re munching on mozzarella, then that won’t do much for your game. Gotta go with the Discount Double-Check recommended dairy.

Anyone notice that Novak always starts to turn to run back down the court
after he releases the ball. i really think he believes every shot is going in.
MDA is referring to
LINburger cheese. Makes everyone play better.
