Good catch. Imagine the number of threads and hostile comments if Felton had turned it over and the Knicks lost.

Well....that person is not me. Ive been a supporter of our gm since he made a great basketball decision in letting lin go and replace him with three solid pgs. Plus all the vets he added are around my age. And if im still killing like i have been in my 20's, after two ankle surgeries....they will too (as a group).

But this was 1 out of 82 games...coming off an emotional dance with sandy. If we truly turned the corner, we need to prove it tomorrow against philly.

When he came into the gym at summer league in vegas, he was already looking like a man on a mission, after walt interviewed him, you can tell this guy had a major chip on his shoulder and was destine to prover the haters and doubters wrong..I just hope it's for the entire season, not 12 weeks

Raymond Felton answered Doris Burke with his standard bluntness and honesty on playing despite Sandy. Then he went out and led his old/new team (sans mare) against the world champions. He did not let us down.

After answering the incessant questions about his weight with the same honesty, Ray Felton returned to a place he never wanted to leave, and did us proud. With six minutes remaining he hit the big shot to send the Heat starters to the bench.

Welcome back Raymond.

Great thread, Earl!

Also, the Knicks came out of a training camp better prepared and more motivated then they have in a long time. Unlike the Francis/Marbury backcourt, the Knicks with Felton, Pablo, and Kidd have a tremendous group of pass first guys. Can't wait for Shump to get back.

Even JR had a couple of nice looks to Novak...I'm even happy for Novak who twice took a step to knock down a shot..Loving it!!!

Ha..Sweet certainly...Some one said in the preseason Felton couldn't dribble drive and penetrate....Ha!..How u like Ray now!!!!..

ESPN clip if Felton splitting Miami's trap passing up the lay up and hitting Melo in the Corner for three....
