Amare and Tyson looked good playing in the frontcourt, Novak, Fields, Shump, Jefferies all were getting open shots. That's what happens when your PG has a brain. He gets everyone involved, guys play harder, the run faster the make the extra pass.

Unfortunately this season when Felton has played he has been overweight, taking way to many 3's not driving then melo and smith get in the isolation, people don't move, the defense can easily adapt and we get crushed virtually every game.

It's a simple game. Move the ball, move without your fan give effort, you should never be blown out unless the team is shooting 50% from behind the arc.

Well said. If nothing else, Knicks fans can now appreciate good basketball.

I love watching Lin. I think he deserves to run a team. However, I'm not sure having him around would turn the Knicks into winners. Udrih's not the worst PG and I'd rank him only a step or so below Lin. I realize the bar is really, really low but one thing that would change if Lin was on the Knicks? The overall BB IQ of the team would be about 1000x what it is right now.

Lin is miles above Udrih...

I agree Lin is better but Udrih's not awful, IMO. However, he's what? 30 something? So, he's probably not going to get a lot better.

Sigh. With the Knicks, the stupid burns brightly. I'm not sure Lin would make much difference. LeBron would struggle with these players and this coach.
