this is the summary of the 6 game losing streak in a nutshell.
felton may attempt the PnR and hand off to Amare, but it turns into iso. Felton gotta go back and get the ball and run it again or find some other guys.
other teams are now not guarding the knicks perimeter late in games, and it's not because they don't respect our shooting.. they just know felton and amare will force up a bad shot rather than pass.. simple and plain..
i wish we could see that whole court on the last play the Knicks had the ball. Wonder how open the other guys were.
Realistically though, Felton had a good, open shot.
More upsetting because it was not the only time it took place in the game.
I still can't get an earlier play, which also took place in the 4th, out of my mind. Gallinari cut to the basket and was alone in the paint with nobody within 2-3 feet of him, and Felton, who must have seen him, chose to pass the ball to his left. I don't think we scored on the play, either.
