★KNICKS-TAPE★
I think we were suppose to beat those teams i listed we hadIn fairness to Lin, after the Miami game the Knicks went 7-7. Yes they won against crap teams with the exception of a win against the Sixers. But when you consider that we ended up a seven seed going in to the playoffs, were we really supposed to beat those teams you list? Plus factor in we had a PG that was learning on the job so to speak. We beat the teams we were supposed to beat and you take that.
Felton could prolly stand to lose a couple more pounds, although he does play well anyway with a couple of extra percentage points of body fat on him. I agree that he's slimmed and I'll take him at the weight he is currently.
I agree with you that Felton is prolly the right guy to run the team with Woodson as our coach and Melo being the ball-stopper he is. Lin is just more dynamic though.
IMO better player > better fit/ worse player.
If Melo and Woodson had any common sense they'd be all for letting the game be made easier by the devasting Lin/Tyson/Amare pick and roll run for stretches in games. Melo could till get his touches for stretches. During the P n R stretches w Lin options open up for Melo as they did for Novak. Melo was never open to this type of play and this was v short-sighted of him. I don't believe for a sec that Melo can't simply catch and shoot. He is prolific. I hesitate to call him stupid but he's prolly a lil stupid and stubborn for this.
I think it could have worked between Woodson, Melo and Lin. However, I believe the former two did not want this to happen, along with our owner, and I will be forever PO'd re this.
"Linsanity"
Melo
Chandler
Amare
im expecting a W against anyone we were to play +20 point game blow outs :lol: but i see where your coming from.
Felton will probably shed more pounds when training camp starts up like always, it's just a matter of if he can continue to stay in shape throughout the season.
Carmelo is the best player on the Knicks and woody is going to run the offense through him no matter what (Lin or no Lin), though i expect stat to get more touches this season (pause). This is why i say Lin is better off in Houston and were better off with Felton. Woody is not going to play Dantoni ball and run P&R with Lin and chandler all day while Amare and Carmelo catch and shoot when open, he's going to go with his proven star players sitting on the big fat contracts and run the offense through them, it's their job to make something happen.
I don't believe woody fully ever even fully trusted Lin @ PG the way Dantoni did just from looking at his body language and listening to after game interviews
