Everyone is either focused on Bashing or Praising Carmello or, focused on Shumps dunk and JR's poor play but, I don't see anyone really giving Raymond the props he deserves.
He started out as an unwanted piece, a poor consolation price for the loss of Lin. He was called fat, unproductive, he sucks, etc., etc. He has been the best player on the team this postseason and continues to play big and has made some clutch buckets. I love what I am seeing from Ray...dude belongs in blue and orange and In my mind, he is truly answering the promise many felt he had when he was drafted along with the likes of Paul and DWill. He was never put in the category with these guys and he shouldn't be but, what he does for this team should be appreciated.
I agree with that. To my surprise, he has been the MVP of the playoffs for us.
Ray deserves some love, he is a real tough player who gets it done. He isn't flashy and he does make mistakes but he has come through for us and should be recognized for it.
I feel like we finally have a team again after a lost decade of garbage.
Definitely our most consistent Knick this postseason.
Who knew Raymond had a deadly teardrop/floater?
Only 3 posts. If Ray had been playing bad, there would be 5pages by now. Knicks fans are a weird bunch

Ray has been awesome. He was the one player I hated to see go in the Melo trade because of his ability to penetrate, work the pnr and push the tempo, but he's back now. I think most of the people who gave him a hard time when he returned were the same ones who were hurt to see Lin go. Felton has proven thus far the Grunwald and the Knick management made the right decision to resign him.....
This thread actually should be split between Pablo and Felton. Pable has been very, very good this post season. Has been more aggressive and on both ends of the floor. Dude is just smart and crafty even if he can't straiten out his arms (an inside joke between me and a few friends
)
I was especially impressed the way he played yesterday and the last game against Boston, dude was just out the beasting. I love the way he plays and hope he decides to come back

prigioni has been a great help to the team, especially because it has allowed felton to be felton, a tweener/hybrid/scoring point guard. without the burden of having to orchestrate felton has excelled.
Seeing Raymond and Shump doing so well in these playoff has been great and unexpected.
Felton has been amazing in the post season. Prigs continues to impress and Shump appears to be back. Sam Mitchell talked about Shumpert last night and how good his defense is. I don't remember everything he said but Shump was in the conversation with Tony Allen and Thabo.
Felton has been great and really benefits from playing off the ball a lot. Prig and Kidd are obviously a big reason for that, but shumpert, JR, and Melo are also capable of starting offense. Having a ton of ball handlers on this team is a huge factor. Makes everyone's life much easier and Felton is really taking advantage.
Felton was the reason I was not mad about the Lin thing. I always liked Felton, and I knew that, if he got in shape, he would make us forget about Lin. It really was a wise move. I think Felton is a better pg than Lin and we have him on a 3yr/$9 million deal. The Rockets are going to be paying Lin like $12 million three years from now and think they are paying him about $7 million now. Great decision by management.
felton has been pretty damn good, but more importantly he needs to get tyson going, and will need to get amare some easy buckets to get him into the flow..
Theres a reason we don't turn the ball over much, we play more ISO then any team in the league. I personally think a really good pg should avg no less then 7 ast.
I love felton and he has just been so important to our team, but I would like to see him directing more, waiving off melo and JR when there struggling, being more of a floor general and a leader. I know he's playing more of a 2g, but he has to take charge more in certain situations, cause he's our fast player, and really the only on penetrating.
