we arent going anywhere with felton playing likt this. steve nash blew by him every time. steve nash is a decade older and coming off a major injury

Nobody told Felton to go under the pick to stay with Nash, he went over the top every time and gave Nash a window to orchestrate 5 against 4. Bad coaching by woody there.

Guess we just got to finish out the month, 11-4 the first two months is still great basketball.

If it was Amare catching those passes to chandler we would be up

can't look at it so one-dimensionally. what Amare would produce on the offensive end, Chandler makes up for on the defensive end

Yes I agree Amare is one of the worst defenders out there,but just look at how Amare can help us offensively,I just dont like trusting JR and Felton as number 2 options they are very inconsistent

People exaggerate Amar'es rebounding shortcomings to a ridiculous degree. He averages 8 to 9 rebounds. He is by far a better rebounder at the 4 than any player we have- Melo, Kurt, Novak, Cope.

it was bad for both teams, knicks 9-26 from three and 9-16 from the line cost us this game...

This. I would not point the finger at Woody or any single player. Knicks had plenty of chances and opportunities to win despite dumb officiating and Felton throwing up bricks.

As an offensive player Nash is crafty and knows how to get his shot off and get by his man with change of speed. The Lakers aren't going to be that dysfunctional team anymore and the Knicks need better PG play from Felton. He's been regressing a bit lately.

Overall it was a good game. Knicks didn'tplay one of their best games tho and the mistakes came back to bite them. I can't wait to get STAT and SHUMP back cuz we haven't gotten much out of Brewer or Felton lately and we need a spark. Also STAT can take some pressure off of Melo. Their return will be perfect timing.

How about really poor defense, especially when it counted? An MDA team played better defense than we did.

I agree. Thats been the trend the entire month with us. Our defense has been good for a while.

We weren't playing the Washington Generals today. The Lakers are very talented and made some big plays down the stretch at home. Nash, in particular with the pull up, PNR and feeding Gasol with Melo on him....Sometimes the Knicks dont lose, the other team actually wins...

Nope, Felton was 5- 19 and missed countless point blank layups. The Lakers are not better then us and not even close to being the best in the west.

I've noticed some like to defend felton all the time

You noticed? Gets ya eyes checked...show me where in my post am I defending Felton? Just giving some credit to the other team. Did we get hosed on the Melo non-call? Absolutely. But Nash made several big plays down the stretch.
