VCoug - you could be missing an essential point. You play to get the ball in the basket. Tyson was close to the basket last season and we had no one to get him the ball inside on the regular.

Raymond Felton does not make Tyson Chandler better. He makes Chandler's post dunk shouts louder.

Feel good. Why? We are that good as a team.

19-6 is kinda sexy, yes?

You're missing an essential point. You, nor anyone else, has been able to show that he's playing appreciably better this year than last or that the slight improvement this year offensively is due to Felton. If Felton is so much better than the combination of TD/Lin/Bibby/crippled-BD wouldn't he have significantly better numbers this year, similar to the improvement when he left Felton and the Bobcats for Dallas?

You are missing the most essential point...Yes, the number that matters most, is significantly better, but you are not agreeing....19-6 is the number the world is watching...

Are we winning because of Felton or in spite of him? In hierarchy of importance I'd place Felton 5th behind Melo, Tyson, Kidd, and JR. Once Amare and Shump are back hopefully he'll be around 7th. I believe based on how he plays, his usage%, and his FGA/game Felton sees himself as 1st or 2nd.

OK...U won't listen to me...Listen to JKIdd, future hall of famer who knows what it takes to win and I quote:" “Felton is the engine," Kidd said. “I tell him to go out there and set the tempo."

Do you honestly expect Felton's teammates or coaches to call him out in the media?

No actually...They have a sound fundamental understanding of the game and knows how important it is for the team, that Felton continue to do what he is doing...Be aggressive and get into the lane, disrupt the defense with your penetration...How does TS% measure this very important asset anyway...

He's not disrupting the defense. Opposing defenses are practically begging him to shoot and he's playing right into their hands.

Well then they must have us right where they want us at 19-6...Let's hope they continue their diabolical plot to allow Felton to shoot and get into the lane, setting up his teammates, and perhaps we can get to 38-12...Those opposing team are witty at times...

Felton is our decoy. He lulls opponents into thinking he wants to shoot so they leave him alone.

He does want to shoot... And does... And misses.

Felton bricked out the joint with his 9/21 night. Lesson learned. Take it to the hole.

We miss our big men

I honestly believe we're not going to miss Felton at all over the next 4-6 weeks. I'm expecting the offense to look much more cohesive going through Melo, Kidd, and JR on nearly every possession.

We should run less pick and rolls with Felton and TC when he get's back. Let JR/Melo run some and let JR/Melo pick some more too. Help Felts out a little.
