I'm expecting the offense to look much more cohesive going through Melo, Kidd, and JR on nearly every possession. Both the good and bad thing is that no one can stop Westbrook, Paul, Rondo and other guards of that caliber. Felton is a thick body though, so he doesn't tire defensively. There will be an adjustment coming up for Prigs. I do hope we don't overuse Kidd as we will need him at the end, when it counts. There will be a big adjustment for the team when Prigs is in there though, the offense is going to not come from him so much. Imagine Felton's 20 shots a game being reduced to 5 - 10 with Prigs. I do think we will play better team ball but we will also have some adjustment problems. But being forced to learn is often the ticket as Prigs wasn't getting many minutes and now he probably will (If coach doesn't play favorites too much.) I think now will be a good time to draw up some plays for Novak to get some shots as well. Will be interesting to see how Chandler and Prigs run the P&R together. Felton had it very good there - perhaps his best quality of running our offense - but since his shot isn't falling the P&R has faded more. Hopefully things pan out and Felton learns a lot on the sidelines. I like him, but I'm not holding my breath as he has been the type of bull dog player he is since he came into the league.

That may not have been Feltons worst game and KI is a beast. However, Felton has had many defensive stinkers. Way too many.

Imagine how much better the Knicks record would be with Kyrie, Chris or Jeremy. Felton's shot selection as worse than the impulsive Kobe. His poor decision making rivals that of Toney Douglas of 2011. His defense makes a sieve look like a block of concrete. "Many defensive stinkers?" Really? How can we manage to be recognized as a much-improved defensive team that protects the ball better than most teams in the NBA? Why are the Knicks coaches running frequent laps for 12 total turnovers or less? Who knew the Knicks could go 21-8 playing four on five? once a knick always a knick

I love Felton. Chandler and him and Shump are my favorite Knicks. In that order. That being said, bottom line, when Felton presses and tries to play up to his competition, he plays bad. He tried to play up to Deron, Kyrie, and tried to demolish Lin instead of playing his game. When he presses to do well, he plays poorly.

Anyone who recognizes us having a much improve defense over last year is wrong. Last season we were the 5th best defense in the league using basketball-reference.com's metrics; this year we're 16th. Last season we were 11th with 94.7 while playing at the 5th fastest pace in the league at 93.2 possessions; this year we're 12th at 96.7 ppg but at the 12th slowest pace at 91.7 possessions. Last season we 10th in fg%, 43.7%; 23rd in 3fg%, 35.9%; and 13th in eFG%, 48.5%. This year we're 22nd in fg%, 45.5%; 23rd in 3fg%, 36.7%; and 25th in eFG%, 50.4%. But you don't need stats when your eyes should be telling you the same thing. Tyson isn't even going to be in the conversation for DPOY after winning it a year ago; our backcourt defense has been about as effective as a turnstile at stopping players from driving to the rim; we get murdered every game on backdoor cuts; and, offhand, I can't remember us getting a defensive stop when we need it, unless you want to Telfair stepping out of bounds with one second left in the game the other night.
