He also is balancing efficient offense with good Defense and it will get better when Amar'e, Shump, and Camby come back.

Brewer...shooting better now than he ever has
Melo......for MVP-nuf said
Chandler....(possible exception to the rule) arguable the best scoring non-shooter in the game.
Felton....playing the best ball of his career
JR Smith....still hit and miss but, he's doing all the little things he rarely did before.
Hell, even Amare was looking to take the next step after training with Hakeem.

Call it the Woodson effect.

NBA players like playing with Woody!

All you have to do is hold on and enjoy the ride!

I still give Coach of the Year to Popovich, he's leading a team of skeletons and has-beens to the best record in the league, plus last year if Timmy D doens't get the flu, or whatever the problem was, Spurs go all the way baby.

Immortal, the Pop, the O, the Vich, the POPOVICH

However...
Brewer is shooting 42% this season down from 49.8% for his career
Felton played better his first season in NY
JR Smith is playing harder defensively but is shooting 37% which sucks

At 15-5 you can't complain about anything as the Knicks are playing well. But, Woodson needs to limit the number of 3's this team is taking. We have a lot of good shooters from the outside, but we need to be getting to the line more. Melo needs to play a little less otherwise he is going to be run down come postseason. The really need Iman back to balance the minutes out. He's the MVP if he can get Amare to come of the bench and buy in.

In our last 2 games we have gotten to the FT line more then our opponent, we don't force 3's or jack them up from anywhere or anytime. Since we are tops in effeciency, that alone proves my point.

The 3 ball is the way to go, I'm sure he MDA has rubbed off a little on woody cause he certainly did not have the hawks jacking up 3's at anypoint.
