Pablo Prigioni - Excellent performance, zero turnovers, 5 assist, 2 threepointers...Pablo gives what you expect, professional PG play. Dude is a vet with a 20 years old body.
J.R. Smith: How can you hate him?
When Smith is on, he's one of the most unstoppable scorers in the world. When he's off, you know how it is. Great 9-13 FG performance by Earl.
Steve Novak: Glad he's back.
Copeland: Breakout game for the Das EFX homeboy.
Sheed: Always a solid performance, really happy how that transaction worked out for our team.
Felton: Very skeptical about him. I know some people don't agree with how harsh I am on Ray Ray, but I never liked his style and don't think he's fit for us.
Chandler: been on a offensive rampage lately, but I'm happy he's got 10 rebounds tonight, I just want to see more shot blocking and challenging shots. His nickname is the Man Handler....let's see it come alive.
Brewer: Last year we had Landry Fields, now we have this Mario Balotelli clone who's been excellent at defense and offense. He's basically the perfect player to have next to Melo who isn't a terrible defender, but he isn't Ron Artest or Bruce Bowen either. Brewer reminds me of a clean Bruce Bowen on defense.
Anthony: Simply the MVP right now if Knicks continue to get those W's.
Kurt Thomas: WTF? 2 Fouls in 8 minutes, no rebounds, or anyhting...a blank sheet. Thomas doesn't look motivated this season...damn. I really love the guy, all the way back when he was a primary offensive option for us in the early 00's when Houston was injured.
Great win! I don't care if the Wizards, we need these confidence boosters to establish our team as dominate and we're out to there to take names and get that title.
I'm starting to maybe agree Felton just has blinders on a bit too much, not a good look for a PG playing alongside Melo/JR and potentially Amare...
However he's still a relatively young player and he seems humble and willing to learn, hopefully he will progress under the tutelage of Jason Kidd.
His lack of court awareness can be frustrating at times and I have to be concerned that when facing top level defense he might fall to pieces. We really haven't seen that yet though.
If you watch him closely you'll see him taking semi-contested shots with dudes wide open quite a few times each game.
Its puzzling cause they got solid veterans in Ariza, Okafor and Nene. I didn't see them struggling this much. I actually had them possibly grabbing the 8th spot in the east. Boy, was I wrong.

Felton's improvement still hasnt change from his performance as a Bobcat ..
Melo & JR still need to learn the basics of team-defense and passin the ball in transition
because JR only had two decent games .. Detroit & Washington
All three players (Felton, JR, Melo) need a lot of tutelage from Kidd, Prig, Rasheed, Camby,
and Kurt this season on how to be postseason players
Not true. JR's performance at home V Dallas was impeccable. Just because you don't like his game, Kiya, doesn't mean that you can insinuate that JR only plays well in blowouts.
