He seems too headstrong and not headwise enough. He's the type of point that will put his head through a brick wall, he won't walk around the wall, through a door. Stubborn, I think. And you can't win a chip with a stubborn leader.

Stubborn leader? That sounds like Mike D

Haha, I don't know, Mike D dropped the buckets for Phoenix. Felton, this guy, man. He's going through a Duhon-like drop in bucket dropping and taking the Knicks down with him.

Could it be the minutes? Could it be that he was wildly overachieving earlier this year? It's tough to say, but what's certain is that he's not as awesome as we thought he was just a few weeks ago.

True, so true. I love a warrior attitude, a winning brain. It's true.

But how many more 4-14 nights can we survive as a franchise?

A winning brain has to be backed up by an intelligent process as a foundation, there has to be fresh, clean water flowing under the ground if the stream is going to be good for drinking when it surfaces. It is not enough that the water flows, it has to be quality. No one should drink sludge.

Let's focus on his positives for a second: best defender on the team, 6th in the NBA in steals and assists. He's making $7.5 million/yr

Him needing to take 14 shots in a game is more of an indictment on the rest of the roster that the Knicks we need to use him to shoot 16 percent of the team's shots.

This team is a work in progress not some engineering problem. People drink treated, distributed water after the system is designed, installed, and meets inspection standards. The Knicks are not even done being designed yet and as much has been admitted by Walsh.

I think he CAN be... but glad we will have cap flexibility in 2012 to entertain the possibility of CP3 or Deron.

Outside Rose, Deron, and Westbrook, I don't think he's that different from the others in that second level. I don't consider CP3 (at least this year) as awesome as he has been in the past... Felton is pretty close.

MSG3 wrote:Felton doesn't look to distribute. Numbers don't tell the whole story. When he comes up the court he's either looking to get to the rim for a high degree of difficutly shot or he's looking to dump it to Amar'e. That was masked when his J was on fire. He hasn't been a good PG for well over a month. I like his attitude but like someone else said, his defense and ball distribution have been subpar.
