why would you want him back? dude was crap when he was here.

I think he was not a fit last year with the players we had. I think in a running system like we have now he should excel. I mean last year he would run and push the ball and no one ran with him.

i think he was good at running & pushing the ball, but made HORRIBLE decisions & played completely out of control... i dunno how much better he would have looked w/Fields & Amare running w/him rather than Nate & Al.

i think we should be looking to add more of a complement to Ray's uptempo style game... if there is a PG out there we can get that plays like a Luke Ridnour or Steve Blake, i think that would make for a better fit to run the PnR w/Amare & give this team some balance... they can't just keep running all game long, eventually they'll have to run half court sets.

Rather see Gallo run Point Forward

Let TD play off the ball....

Still need a back up PG...... Cant run a team with only one PG

TD is a SG not a PG thats for sure

Trade TD and Chandler for Mayo

Or Rubio...... Shouldn't he be a Knick already!!

6 starts all away. One bad game.....right this guys really killing you...

Brilliant statistics but the numbers so far say otherwise.

Raymond has been running the team well after a slow start. He has played very well during the winning streak.

People are complaining about Douglas because he cannot run a team. He has no PG skills whatsoever and the offense stagnates when is on the court without Felton.

We need a backup PG.

Or that on that poor run with him at point one of the TO's was all on Stat. Dribbling into a triple team as usual. Charlotte
clogged the middle and played a zone. How do you beat a zone people? Pass the ball and hit the outside shot. Doesn't matter
who has the ball you don't dribble penetrate a zone defense.

Edit: That said I saw him bury the same shot last year at least twice.

What numbers aren't you looking at?

Felton's turnovers

Nov 23 vs. CHA...4
Nov 20 @ LAC...2
Nov 19 @ GSW...5
Nov 17 @ SAC...5
Nov 16 @ DEN...1
Nov 14 vs. HOU...4
Nov 12 @ MIN...4
Nov 10 vs. GSW...4
Nov 09 @ MIL...6
Nov 07 vs. PHI...3
Nov 05 vs. WAS...3
Nov 04 @ CHI...3

He's played SO WELL during the winning streak that we've been able to overcome his 16 turnovers, 4 per contest.

Sorry, but even though Felton has started to play better, he still turns it over far too much- and that's not an observation of stats, but watching him play. For every turn over, there is another play that nearly is so- a high dribble that he nearly gives up, a pass deflected we manage to gather in.

He's getting better with the PnR; it just seems like a repetition and chemistry thing. I see way too many low passes here, which slows Amare and makes him reach. Felton and Stat work way to hard for this to not improve. I'm betting that as the season get's closer to the mid-way point, those TO's will turn into nasty finishes more often.

Scary but that almost sounds like Duhon.

Duhon was fine if he did not play with blinders on. He was a bad PG to have because he froze out Gallo. You PG has to utilize his whole crew and not just a select few.

TD has some of this...maybe. I am not sure if he is still freezing out Gallo on purpose or he is just too dumb or just has no peripheral vision.

I love his D but the way he runs the offense is painful. Trying to run the PnR with him is just aweful. He always seem to get stuck on the perimeter and ends up chucking a 3 from the next county.

Yeah totally agree..... Think he is much better off the ball. Defense and offense.
