i agree but the funny thing is people love fellton and always defend him. I like felton but he has a lot fo weaknesses especially on defense

I love Felton, but I do agree that his defense suck right now. Another thing that is starting to bother me about this guy is his emotion. Once he gets emotional he is completely out of his game. For instance, if he misses a few baskets, you can see that he visibly gets upset and typically go on to have a bad game. I think he needs to learn to keep his emotions in check.

This.

Exhibit A & B. Both Houston games

His defense does suck since coming back but the Knicks are doing a poor job defending the pick and roll..Most of those plays Felton is getting beat is off picks..The teams have to do a better job picking up the ball handler when Felton gets picked at the foul line...

We can still do eet without Lin. But giving him away for nothing was horrible, i agree

For the MVP Tyson sure do take a lot of games off. Tyson "got my popcorn ready" Chandler needs to step up like he did at the end.

It's not a good thing he had to play 40 minutes, but I don't know why it's "sad".
He had a great game, we won.

MDA also didn't really believe in set plays. We are supposedly running the same offense which should be based on sticking to principles, moving the ball, letting player make reads.

MDA was really good at drawing up plays when needed. Coming off of timeouts, MDA was really good at creating plays for quick baskets. I haven't seen Woodson display the same ability. I am not sure why. We play too much playground one on one basketball and may hurt our chances at a title.

What? MDA was officially one of the worst coaches at calling timeout and creating plays from timeouts was not his strong point either.

If your suggesting that the Knicks should have matched that deal and then traded him so they got something for him I don't think that was possible. His contract in the new cba is going to be hard to live up to. Missed the game but with Lin coming up again my guess is Felton struggled.

Struggled again defenively big time

felton has 1 assist. can you say "weakest link?" time to face facts he is just a putrid defender and he will be compromising his team every night against quicker backcourt players.

tonight didn't further my confidence in this team.

A win is a win.
