Haha. Props to you for not dissapearing.
Un-props to you for "4 TO is simply not good no matter how you try to spin it."
Props to me and all the other rational people who discovered this CRRRRRRAZY fact
1. Felton will have a solid season. (His 2nd half last season once he got in shape was pretty good)
2. Jeremy Lin is not Chris Paul but he ain't "terrible" either
You can think both of these things AT THE SAME TIME without the universe imploding!
And Un-Props to u for every time Felton did something well, u attribute it to being around Prigs and Kidd...
Un props to people who believe that pointing out the positive influence of a future HOFer and one of the best international PGs to ever play the game is an insult. Believing that this somehow negates the compliments about his good decision making which in his mind is really a "backhanded compliment". As if Felton has nothing left to learn.
Felton agreed, saying he's just happy to have someone like Kidd in his corner.“I won’t say he's a father figure but he’s definitely a role model I look up to," Felton said with a smile. "I’m just lucky to have him here, and learn from him, and pick his brain."
My apologies to GodsavetheKnciks....
Not the point at all..What u are actually saying is Felton does have this type of play within himself, which I vehemently disagree with, that some how he needed others to bring this out in him..I have seen this from Felton before...U are assuming that it was Prigs and Kidd that had Felton playing like this in the preseason and during the first game...This is in no way meant any disrespect to Kidd or Prigs but I think Felton is quite capable of standing on him own...
One of the reasons that Felton has bounced around from team to team has been his decision making. Raymond has skills but too often he calls his own number and makes poor decisions on the floor. Its why I was happy to see him go the first time. Was Felton incapable of having a good game before he played with Kidd and Prigs? Of course not but watching him play with them I see a player with an improved court awareness. He still has lapses but I do see an improvement from the last time he was here.
Too many players have the mindset that they already know everything, pointing out that a player is willing to learn from more experienced players is a compliment, not an insult. I pointed out in the game thread that he made a sweet shovel pass and you took that as an insult as well because chandler couldn't finish the play. Why I have no idea.
