I guess compared to that one he is in better shape than he will ever be. Don't think he will ever be the speedy day Felton from UNC. Regardless his floor leadership and court vision and defense sucks

hibbert is getting praised all over the place because he worked out with duncan. Felton has a camp for kids reveals he has changed his diet and lost 15lbs working out and he gets trashed on a fan board for his team?

Yep, you know the score by now- a player is over weight "oh fatty, they're a disgrace etc etc", player changes their diet, works hard all summer and loses weight "oh they're still fat, they should have done that all along, it's their job, etc etc". Best fans in the world!

That's what CP3, D-Will, TP and the better PGs around the league do. Those guy's are there every sec. of every game. For me, Ray can't slack off -- getting the weight down is great -- it'll help him...Now he's talking about being more vocal, more of a leader and he's always talking about playing with a chip on his shoulder. He's saying the right things -- now he's gotta do it! Peddle to the metal!! MSG network just replayed the game we won in SA last year. Ray was GREAT that game!! Took on the challenge of playing against TP in his gym where he outplayed him and we got a huge W. Then there was the game in Miami where he went off and we grabbed another big road win...The talent's there, he just needs to bring it all the time now and play with more of a no holds barred/go hard or go home attitude. He tends to play too passive and disappear too often. I'd like to see ray develop more of a killer attitude out there.

Good points but simply put he needs to shoot better than 41% so teams stop forcing him to shoot 19 teams while Melo gets double and triple teamed. Is this the year where he shoots a respectable percentage? I asked the same thing last year and as I predicted he shot his career avg

Would you feel better to know he shot 43%(42.7). Maybe this helps him get to the rim faster giving him one extra step which improves his overall game. There should be enough depth to keep his shots down and not go through that stretch where he was shooting so much. I liked that he seemed to improve as a spot up shooter so hopefully that continues

If the Knicks keep it traditional and mix it up game to game they will be ok. You can't put melo out there out of position and ask him to defend pass rebound and score too. Not even lebron can win with that much pressure. That's why he's in Miami. And Miami run him as a small fwd every Game. Let other guys handle the furry stuff and glue stuff. You put melo in position to be successful by giving him 4 options to pass to. And protect him with big men and ball handlers

Sorry but him losing 15LBs does not excite me at all. We still need an upgrade at starting pg

dude,

come on,

how can a 300 lb guy run pg in the nba?

wow

When Melo plays the right way everybody on the knicks plays better and are more involved and focused in the game. Ray Felton could do his thing ! You hear me Tony Parker

Wow! Who was that guy wearing #5 for the Knicks making all those jumpers and nice passes? We could have used a guy like that in the playoffs. On another note, I wish we could have had Sheed around to mentor Bargnani on defense.

I'd say he does look thinner- glad he's been putting in the work.
