I could understand this perspective better if Melo had turned out to be Marbles.

We had Coke, we traded it for Pepsi.

We now find out two years later, that Coke's main ingredient is bird guano.

We still have Pepsi, which we find is made with a rather high grade of pure cane sugar. Not top 5 grade, but cane sweetness none the less.

Some people I guess, would still miss Coke.

God bless democracy and the concept of unity in diversity.

THE FUNNY thing is guano is a highly effective fertilizer... bird guano is actually a decent fertilizer.... but it also has other uses, as a fungicide when fed to plants through leaves.. pretty good info I got from my friend who is an ecologist with the CDC here in Atlanta..

with that said, I miss the coke with the bird guano, because I was looking forward to steady growth.

instead we have pepsi with what you call a lower grade cane sugar? well why would we want that? the sugars we find in soda are not healthy as it is, and you are championing a lower grade? but I guess it is fitting, sweet to the taste buds initially, but sooner or later you notice the weight gain, sluggish behavior and then.. boom, diabetes.....

no thanks.. give me the Bird guano, i can use it as fertilizer to help my product grow, and then I can use the rest to grow sugar cane and sell the rest of that to the pepsi loving fools out there , make a few billion and watch them get fat....

Hey, it won't be top 5 cane sugar.. but you can feel free to call it " THE BEST PURE SUGAR IN THE LEAGUE".

So you like drinking Bird s@@@

if it tasted like coke and doesn't harm me, why not?

Are you that guy on the Travel channel on the show Bizarre Foods?

That guy is a beast. I couldn't do it. Him and Bear Grylls will eat anything.

yea, zimmerman is a beast, and he has eaten all over the world.. I would take his job just for the travel, but some of the stuff he eats is just downright ridiculous.. LOL

I don't think getting Felton back should be considered a good thing yet. He's been pretty bad overall and was absolutely brutal last night.

Brutal?! Were you watching the game or stat watching? If you watched the game, you'd know that Felton made some key baskets in the 3rd quarter to keep us in it while the Magic were pretty much lights out. He also made some nice passes to Tyson to seal the deal down the stretch. Wondering, if Felton has been brutal thus far, how would you classify Lin's season?

I watched the game and you can sugarcoat him going 9-23 and leading the team in FGA all you want but he sucked last night. And, I don't think that a player shooting 40% from the field should be taking the 3rd most shots on the team overall and only 0.2 shots less per game than JR. It hasn't really hurt us yet but it's going to and Felton either needs to learn how to his those midrange jumpers other teams are leaving him wide open for, because he sucks at them, or he needs to ****ing pass the ball more often. Felton should not be and should never be the 3rd offensive option for a championship level team and he needs to realize that.

The reason a lot of those shots were in the flow of the offense was because Orlando was playing off him on the pick and roll because they wanted him to take those shots. Felton is a terrible shooter and Orlando decided, and other teams will also, that they're better off doubling the guy setting the pick and daring Felton to shoot. And it's precisely because of Melo, JR, Tyson, Kidd, and Brewer that some people consider us a contender after only 5 games. Once Camby's in playing shape and Amare and Shumpert come back they'll be ranked ahead of Felton also.

The second most important person on the Knicks right now is Felton..Don't kidd yourself, pun intended...He runs the offense and the flow of the game..As Jason Kidd said, he is the engine to what's happening out there...If u think otherwise you aren't paying attention...

gunsnewing wrote:Orlando dared Felton to shoot. He hit his threes last night for the most part and drove for a few layups. And missed every midrange shot which he has done his entire career and the reason he shoots 41% for his career. Looking for a reason why he shot 9 for 23 but still played a decent game look no further than that. Last night was the epitome of Ray's career. Its been 10yrs but if Felton ever works on improving his midrange jumper he will be closer to being considered with the elite PGs in the league

He missed a few layups too...Look at his shot chart...nothing midrange...all long jumpers and layups..

FG% 41.2
3PT% 33.0
eFG% 45.5

AST/TO ratio 2.57

he lacks court vision
he runs a sub-par pick and roll
he can't maintain his dribble
his off hand is very weak, if not non-existent
he lacks craft and savvy
the game has not slowed down for him
he is a below average defender
he stunk in denver
he stunk in portland
he is incapable of orchestrating
he is okay in the alley-oop... so what

he was given a two-year contract by walsh with good reason
