What is the point of having a skilled center (Tyson) and PF (Amare) if Melo is going to jack up 26 shots in a game and make 6?
Why not play the game to the strengths of your team?
If you are going to match up Melo and KG, bring KG outside and facilitate / pass inside to others; take KG off the dribble.
Well Prigi and Kidd are not consistently good PnR guards. You should have noticed that there have been less PnR lobs to Tyson since Felton has been out. Prigi and Kidd simply do not get into the lane as effectively as Felton thus killing the PnR.
I think that will come. He's likely used to being the number 1option once he's out there.

If you remember the last many games that Felton played, teams were taking away the PnR from him by staying with the Roller and forcing Felton to shoot. Unfortunately, that worked out really well... for the other team.
I don't see Amare skywalking so fast and those plays will just have to come.
Maybe they don't have their timing together yet.

You mean when Felton was playing with two injured hands? How about before he suffered the hand injuries?
Also, even with the hand injuries, Felton was still getting plenty of lobs to Chandler and lay up attempts off the PnR.

I agree. They haven't played together much this season and it will take time for them to mesh. Might be more focused on bringing out Stats post game as well.
Amare would set a pick and roll to the basket and JR would not even look at him. Bone head!

Isn't this like game number 4 for Amare? Give it some time. JR's been playing with Tyson all year, so he knows how to PnR with him already.
