This article was depressing, reminding everybody how we didn't have a good point guard since Marc Jackson, and what might have happened with Brandon Jennings on the Knicks in the season and off-season. One thing is for sure is that Felton is going to be way better than Duhon and Marbury. I agree with the article saying there might be more pressure on Felton than Stoudemire.

The Knicks are Back
damn it hurt reading this article i mean think about our team if we had jennings too =/ loll. but in all seriousness i agree with one of the last sentences in this article:
"He's either the answer to the Knicks' point guard prayers, or merely keeping the spot warm for the next guy."
hell either be our answer or just another contestant for the PG musical chairs. i hope he's the answer i liked him since he was in college with UNC and this could be the system that gets him some recognition

I think Felton has the skill set, athleticism and IQ to be a really good PG in Dant's system. He put up decent stats and started on a playoff team which had the most lethargic offensive scheme in the NBA. In the SSOL offense paired with STAT he should be a beast. It's not guranteed but I have confidence in this dude after hearing him talk in interviews and understanding how well Dant coaches PG's.

This is the kind of ****ing bull shit that ruins players. Give the poor dude a chance before you nail him to the cross.
This is an article by an unknown columnist that went straight for a reactionary topic.
We signed a top 18-20 PG for 2 years. If he fails, he fails.
Good signing, good risk, good times.

Agreed!
He signed a two year deal not a six! I mean in all likelyhood he will do a solid job for us.
A true low risk high reward. If he sucks he's gone, if he plays good we simply resign him!
Is he Nash.... no, is he Duhon.... no. He is some where in between which represents an upgrade for us!
I swear I hate how the media hates on us!
I just don't get it.....he really has all the skills to thrive in this offense. He was coached by a coach who really brings a long PG's and Felton did improve his game while playing for him.
There is more reason to think Felton will break out than there is a potential for a bust.
Maybe I'm over simplifying it....but if Duhon a career 3rd string PG can come in and blossom why wouldnt a career starter do well!?
I mean even if Felton's number don't go up one bit they still would be better than anything Mike D has had in NY. He's a career 13 and 6 and two years were spent under a coach who really grinds it out on offense, meaning he could easily be a 15 and 8 per game player.
In an uptempo system common sense would suggest his numbers would go up.
Last year he shot the ball better from 3 by 10% while hitting just as many (one more in fact) than the year before, his overall FG% went up last year. His scoring went down by 2 pts but he played 4 less minutes.
I mean I know numbers don't tell it all...but this does not seem like a PG who is on the decline.
All we can do is wait and see I suppose.
But I'm really pulling for Felton to prove the doubters wrong 1. because we would be nice if we get could PG play, but another reason is to vindicate our managment.
how long was he a Knick?

He then went on to play with the Pacers. I hated him like I hate brussel sprouts.
How can you guys not know who Mark Jackson was? Am I really that old? Check him on youtube. Him and Ewing were originally what brought the Knicks back from obscurity.

with no legit number 2 and stat pulling double and triple teams felton will get plenty chances to score... he could finish out at around 16 to 18 a game as things stand... we have worse problems than him right now....

Hopefully Felton can shows us knick fans excitement and spark as a starting point guard unlike chris Duhon who at times frustrated us beacuase of his inability to handle duties as a starting point guard. It has seemed dire long and sas since the knicks had a quality and even star starting point guard representing grit and swagger to the playgrounds NYC basketball courts. I think Raymond Felton will bring toughness and swagger to legendary MSG and to us fans because i really think he has the mental toughness and no die quit swagger of bringing a winning environment and leader as the season progresses and teaching and making the players better as the season goes by. :beer:
eace: I think raymond Felton shows true character of not blaming and being solely accountable instead of blaming others on the the team unlike Marbury who sadly had the talents but no mental toughnes, accountability and making the team and teammates better.
