Felton Signs With Knicks

[Battery]

Thats right. If you were a Superfan then you would have known Matt Carroll was not going to be in our rotation.

Seriously dude, what were you thinking? Have you ever watched Matt Carroll play? He sucks, well not all the time, he kills it during extensive garbage time when we're already getting blown out.

Wow Battery can even watch Matt Carroll playing in games. True Superfan.

doc you've changed your tune, usually you agree with me. Thats OK, I'm willing to wait this one out until DJ's bitter end. You will see...

Once that happens you'll see the usual crowd blaming LB for misusing him. It's inevitable.

[doc.end]

That was only joke pointing out Carroll haven't played a minute yet this year. I like DJ but that has nothing to do with the joke.

Battery do you understand that the Knicks are playing in a different system....fact.D'Antoni actually uses his pgs like pgs.

Everyone knows that stats mean nothing.

Duh.

“We should have teams on their toes and we don’t do that until we are down 20 or 15 and we’re fighting back,” said Wallace. “Initially if a team comes out and starts letting them go, by the fourth quarter those shots are much easier to take. If they’re aggressive, I think those are the keys to the game and that’s the scenario we are putting ourselves in.”

“We have the will and the heart to fight,” explained Wallace. “We’re like a boxer but we don’t start until after the sixth round until we’re all swollen up. We need to come out in the first round and establish our jab. We need to come out and be the aggressor and make a statement and right now we’re not doing that.”

Everyone laughed when I said we weren't aggressive enough. Apparently Gerald Wallace agrees with me.

Did Battery just post stats to justify something?

Is this the same Battery as before? I'm confused...

[BigSlam]

When did anyone ever say we had been playing with aggression? Everyone has been saying we have been horrible to start the season. Crash is playing at about 40%, Jax has been a ball stopper. They both have been super passive.

But hey, we all know who's fault that is - don't we?

Heck, even Bonnell has blogs talking about Larry Brown's traditionally slow starting teams. There is a pattern there over the past 20 years or so with these slow starting teams and the common denominator?

Larry Brown.

From today:

bad against the zone & felton poor decisions

2) the other is the imbalance of shooting and passing that felton is exhibiting. he is shooting too much while he does poorly at the pick and roll and with distributing the ball. where is the court vision? he is missing wide open players. where are the bounce passes in traffic? everything seems airborne. so many turnovers.

this loss is primarily on felton. the dude cannot orchestrate.

Raymond Felton probably lost us this game. I saw him make a TERRIBLE decision in the P&R; he tried to get the ball to the roll man (don't remember who it was), and had it picked off. But, even if the pass went through, the roll man was surrounded by three red jerseys and would have needed a miracle to convert.

Felton: 7/10/8.. not a bad stat line, except he shot 2/11, just not good enough.. played hard, just not well. Has to get that pick and roll going..

viewtopic.php?f=24&t=1064802

He (Amare) cant, he cant create for himself, and Felton cant get him an easy shot

I guess it's one of those weeks the Knicks fans don't love him?

lol, everytime I check on the Knicks Amare has like 30 something pts and Felton has a ton of assists, good shooting %, and about 20 pts. Oh and NY won 8 in a row. Could've used that type of production this season.

Agreed.

If we had Amare we would be a LOT better too.

Yes, yes we would. If we had any big man capable of putting the ball through the hoop we'd be a lot better. Issue is our best one ever was Okafor and we turned him into dust. Felton was never the problem, just like DJ isn't really the problem this year even though Felton helps us more it doesn't make enough of a difference with the sad sad story we have in our front court since Okafor left.

But Felton took us to the playoffs without a low post scorer. When Okafor was here we didn't win anything so i don't even know why that stiff is brought into the conversation.

Even if DJ and Felton were the same talent wise, Raymond is still light years better at providing leadership. And that goes a long way at the point guard spot.

I guess I was trying to point out how important a quality big man is and the only decent one we ever had was Okafor.

I understand but also realize the game has changed to more of a perimeter oriented style. What we need is a scoring power forward and a solid tough defensive center. It would also be great if the PF could provide tough defense along with scoring but those are a rare breed nowadays. The days of dumping the ball down low to a center have passed, plus centers are unreliable and get injured far too often.

What we need to do is find out if Tyrus can be a solid low post threat and that means trading away Boris. Then I'm sorry to burst your DJ bubble but we need a much better point guard who's also a leader.
