Give it up dude. Please.

Sorry didn't plan on turning this into another Lin thread. I was just being critical of Felton's career. I wasn't the one who brought Lin's name up

Im a big lin fan but i have accepted that he si gone and i am happy with our 3 point guards we have

Felton has to keep shooting? You are not serious, right? He is an awful shooter! He needs to stop shooting.

U are crazy..It's not how u play basketball...Felton has to keep shooting to keep the defense honest...He has to gain confidence in his shot..It's pre-season where you work on your kinks...Woody has been telling him to shoot and praise the lord for it...If Felton's shot begins to fall we are a different team all together...He his doing everything u want in a PG except hitting his shot..We need some one to hit that outside shot Landry has been missing the last two years...I didn't want Fields to stop shooting either...His shot and his confidence could come in January, who knows, keep shooting...That will make us a tough out in June when it matters...Keep Shooting Felt, you look good out there...Keep shooting!!!!

You sound like MDA He told TD to keep shooting and that he did.

Felton is not horrible when he gets set up and shoots but he is awful shooting off the dribble and that is not what he is good at. Baron Davis used to do that too and I could not stand it. Stop trying to be a star and set up the others. Felton's other aspects of his game are really good. This part of it really has hurt him.

Not only MDA, every coach in basketball will tell u shoot the ball...U have too or it kills the team...The same thing for Rondo, who is worse...There is no reason for him not to shoot the ball right now...He has to gain confidence...He isn't a great shooter but if he can knock down the open J then it keeps his man out the lane where it affects the rest of the team...It keeps him from cheating defensively so Felton can blow by him...It's one of those things u hold your nose and watch...He has to shoot....He doesn't have to be Steve Nash, just knock down enough to make the defender stay close....

I don't remember if it was during our first round sweep at the hands of the celtics - but some analyst said that when Rondo's defender plays off his so much, it actually makes it easier for Rondo to make passes - and I believe we saw that the defense should always be up on a PG (unless they are 40 years old and too slow, so basically any knick PG this year) when I think it was Anthony Carter disobeyed MDA's game plan and actually got up in Rondo's grill, impacting the game. Though we still lost.

I remember that and I thought it was a silly comment at the time...The defender was actually affecting the passing lanes and made it easy to double the guys in the lane...

why should I be concerned with that.. I am concerned that we keep getting rid of young talent..... and ending up with a constant mess.. year after year...

if marcado beats out lin then that means the rockets found another talent to add to their backcourt.. lucky them..... only if we were that lucky.. oh wait.. we were and we let him walk... smh

Young "talent" wanted to leave...If he didn't, JR and Novak may be more clever in figuring out how to stay...

I give JR credit. i thought for sure he would be gone But he took a small raise and stayed here which shows loyalty

On top of which Novak graduated from Marquette with a BA in communications studies. Not exactly MBA material.

On top of which JR is now seemingly embracing his bench role as second unit scorer.

On top of which JR graduated from high school.

Apparently a BA from Marquette and a hs education > Harvard economics degree when it comes to trying to figure out how to stay with the franchise you really want to retire from.

he has looked pretty good so far. I mean he will never be a star but he is a point guard who is a great passer and defender who can come off the bench

I hope u saw the comradery on the floor...I hope u see Kidd and Felton coming up court and passing it to Melo and getting the ball back which Lin didn't want to do...I hope u are watching all this....Or Melo coming to the ball and actually getting it...WOW amazing...

and there you go.. make sure the mindless minions get the ball to melo.. that is all you care about.. right?

He's no more special than Jebus Vasquez or Juan Carlos Sabarro. You guys love to George Micheal Hype Machine everything. This is the very reason Lin is despised now. Calm down a hundred thousand trillion. We have 3 point guards ask yourself what contending team has ever one a chip with a 3 headed platooning point guard system. I'll give you the answer....IT DOESN'T EXIST

There is only 1 ball and 48min.

If Felton is on a mission he's playing 30-32min/gm

If Kidd is anything first year Dallas he's playing 12-15min/gm

So where does Picasso get his meaningful minutes to impact the game? If Escobar is playing heavy rotation minutes.... then this means Kidd's designated driver is slipping and someone has managed to get Curry's cupcake supplier hooked up with Felton.

I feel Felton may return to a mixture of his best under LB and D'Antoni at the same time I see sloppy Felton still. Kidd is pretty much done
