Ultimateknicks.com Forums: felton and chandler playing like *** this game

Felton plays hard. Plays decent defense but he always shoots like he's on fire. He's a terrible shooter. You'd think by this point in his career he would realize he's not Ray Allen and tone it down slightly. The more he misses, the more he feels like he has to put it up.

yes he plays hard but thats no excuse. he gets beat on defense so many times he cant hit shots and his vision is not great

LIN neutered felton. he was playing well before coming against lin twice.
Chandler's hands suck.
Welcome back Amare. We need you.

Nothing to do with Lin, clearly Feltons hands are bothering him not to mention his confidence is a little shaken right now...

Felton needs to sit some games out, he needs to make sure his hands are 100% healthy.

19 shots doesn't spell lack of confidence to me. I don't even think he's really injured. He's just not that talented a ball player. Sure he can run and gives effort but he's got poor vision, average handle and a terrible shot. Dude misses layups now too. How may games is he going to shoot us out of? The little teardrop floater he likes so much is trash. It's always short.

Chandler played the worst game as a knick to me with all this holiday jazz with the family. He was unfocused from the start.

Felton only plays well in big games when the ball moves around and defenders stay with their man and he has the liberty to beat any guard off the dribble. A few times instead of throwing up the lob he could have penetrated and loop the ball around the last defender. Prigioni knows how to do that mid flight. When played ISO and Felton goes right into the teeth of the defense he has no one to go when he's not feeling it. All mental for him.

Felton plays best when the ball is moving from side to side

JAMES DOLAN on Isiah : He's a good friend of mine and of the organization and I will continue to solicit his views. He will always have strong ties to me and the team.

That's a good point. You don't see him penetrate and find a good pass that often. It's either the lob to Chandler or someone in his direct vision or nothing.

I dont disagree...He's missing way too many gimme's. His runner broken and needs to be fixed. He's coming in in strong on the runner. He needs to slow his momentum down, come almost to a jump stop and shoot a put-shot ala Mark Jackson. That will allow the ball to crawl in because it would be a softer shot.

I also agree about his vision. He needs to kick it our if Chandler isn't open, instead he's forcing up some blind shots because the big men are smothering him....

Felton's been bad for most of the season at this point. He needs to stop ****ing shooting and start passing; he thinks he's Kobe Bryant out there when he's actually Derek Fisher.

Tyson's been off all season, he hasn't been the same player he was last year. If he had played like this last season he wouldn't have won DPOY. Best guess is that he needs more rest. He played a lot of minutes in a condensed season last year and, instead of getting to rest in the Summer, he played in the Olympics. I think we need to be able to cut his minutes so he's playing under 30 mpg, like he did in Dallas, and he should be getting some regular rest.

Now the joy of my world is in Zion How beautiful if nothing more Than to wait at Zion's door I've never been in love like this before Now let me pray to keep you from The perils that will surely come

Felton shoots because most of the time he's open or he beats his man, the results hasn't been good lately.

He hasn't been going to the rim enough. He toasted Nash and had a clear path at one point but took a step back. His head isn't right.

Right now he can' hit theside of a barn from 15 ft away. Woody needs to change his approach because this becomes Duhon/TD Episode 2

TKF on Melo ::....he is a punk, a jerk, a self absorbed out of shape, self aggrandizing, unprofessional, volume chucking coach killing playoff loser!!
