Felton has to keep shooting? You are not serious, right? He is an awful shooter! He needs to stop shooting.
U are crazy..It's not how u play basketball...Felton has to keep shooting to keep the defense honest...He has to gain confidence in his shot..It's pre-season where you work on your kinks...Woody has been telling him to shoot and praise the lord for it...If Felton's shot begins to fall we are a different team all together...He his doing everything u want in a PG except hitting his shot..We need some one to hit that outside shot Landry has been missing the last two years...I didn't want Fields to stop shooting either...His shot and his confidence could come in January, who knows, keep shooting...That will make us a tough out in June when it matters...Keep Shooting Felt, you look good out there...Keep shooting!!!!
You sound like MDA 
He told TD to keep shooting and that he did.
Felton is not horrible when he gets set up and shoots but he is awful shooting off the dribble and that is not what he is good at. Baron Davis used to do that too and I could not stand it. Stop trying to be a star and set up the others. Felton's other aspects of his game are really good. This part of it really has hurt him.
Not only MDA, every coach in basketball will tell u shoot the ball...U have too or it kills the team...There is no reason for him not to shoot the ball right now...He has to gain confidence...He isn't a great shooter but if he can knock down the open J then it keeps his man out the lane where it affects the rest of the team...It keeps him from cheating defensively so Felton an blow by him...It's one of those things u hold your nose and watch...He has to shoot....He doesn't have to be Steve Nash, just knock down enough to make the defender stay close....
Well he really does have to shoot to keep the defense honest. But, what kind of shots? His shot selection can be awful. NO REASON EVER TO TAKE A contested shot off the dribble that is extremely low pct.

Felton didn't do anything to Lin, ease up...
Lin, Kidd, Pablo would've been a killer pg rotation wow

I like Felton. I also like beating the heat, celtics, lakers and okc
gunsnewing wrote:So in other words improve on his 39% and 29% 3pt career shooting numbers. #fingers are crossed
I am sure his 3pt% has been higher in the past 3 or 4 years so that will be easy.

Not really, I think Felton runs a better offense...Lin didn't want to be here...He wanted to be a "leader" and couldn't lead here...So first day in Houston, he said he was the team leader, and professed "It's like college all over again" his first day...
If that was the reason why Lin is in Houston the Knicks would be the first to let the public know. The fact they avoid talking about him like the plague tells me all i need to know as to why hes not here
Only Lin who is basically a rookie would think he is a leader and hasn't accomplished anything in this league...He isn't better than Martin and Lamb has more upside..But hey guys, I'm the leader here....

I hope u saw the comradery on the floor...I hope u see Kidd and Felton coming up court and passing it to Melo and getting the ball back which Lin didn't want to do...I hope u are watching all this....Or Melo coming to the ball and actually getting it...WOW amazing...

Sorry didn't plan on turning this into another Lin thread. I was just being critical of Felton's career. I wasn't the one who brought Lin's name up

Im a big lin fan but i have accepted that he si gone and i am happy with our 3 point guards we have
Having Kidd and Pablo on the team reminds me of the days when we got some aging but very smart PGs like Rivers, Harper, and Cheeks. Players who were past their prime but still made a contribution. We have a nice combination of experience, youth, and athleticism at guard this season. Now if they can only stay healthy...

kidd usually remain pretty healthy even as he has aged. i mean his minutes wont be as long anymore so that should help. Im more worried about Camby who has a history of that. A healthy Camby is very important since it will take more pressure off tyson as well as keep tyson fresh
Give it up dude. Please.

The Knicks are talking about the players that are on the roster. Landry Fields is a Toronto Raptor. Jeremy Lin is a Houston Rocket. Ray Allen is a Miami Heat player. You think the Celtics are wasting tears over losing a Hall of Famer? Nope. They are looking forward and working to bust his azz.
Lin and Fields both must be defeated. Sympathy is for babies.
I'm loving our PG line-up...Felton looks good...Kidd playing to role of a vet doing what is needed at the two or one...Prigs is just balling..Who are we crying about again???

Not only MDA, every coach in basketball will tell u shoot the ball...U have too or it kills the team...The same thing for Rondo, who is worse...There is no reason for him not to shoot the ball right now...He has to gain confidence...He isn't a great shooter but if he can knock down the open J then it keeps his man out the lane where it affects the rest of the team...It keeps him from cheating defensively so Felton can blow by him...It's one of those things u hold your nose and watch...He has to shoot....He doesn't have to be Steve Nash, just knock down enough to make the defender stay close....
I don't remember if it was during our first round sweep at the hands of the celtics - but some analyst said that when Rondo's defender plays off his so much, it actually makes it easier for Rondo to make passes - and I believe we saw that the defense should always be up on a PG (unless they are 40 years old and too slow, so basically any knick PG this year) when I think it was Anthony Carter disobeyed MDA's game plan and actually got up in Rondo's grill, impacting the game. Though we still lost.

Agreed. I forgot how good Felton was here and how good he will be again especially with Kidd and Prigioni backing him up.
