Yeah it's not Felton's fault. I think Amar'e has been a bit off his game of late too. He's had some good performances, but overall he's looked a bit off. Chandler isn't back yet and he's been in a slump before he was injured. Overall with this team it comes down to our offense more often than not. When we hit shots, in particular 3's, we win. We haven't perfected the rest of our game enough to overcome poor offensive play. We have to execute.
I still think the Knicks are built better for the longhaul than the Sixers. I'm expecting this team to pull it together at some point the rest of the way and get separation from the Sixers again. At some point Amar'e will get on a roll and Chandler will either get his act together or we'll trade for Melo. I just see something positive happening that will get us over the hump.
