watching a trailblazers/lakers game from last season....was Raymond Felton well liked when he was in New York?
cause man, this guy has the style of play that is fucking baffling to watch. that wild, risky stupid basketball that has you shaking your head even when dude doesnt fail.

Centers' defense is a lot more important than their offense and guys like Duncan and Davis play like centers on defense so I don't really get the "he's not a center" thing that gets applied to everyone who is not a hulking monster. I know the 90s was all about post scorers and giant guys at centers, but a lot of the centers of every other era were thin and quick guys who mostly about defense.
He was liked because Amare was playing out of his mind and Felton could get him the ball. But ever since D'Antoni unraveled all the shit that Larry Brown hid away and left it in a puddle on the floor, Failton has been dead.
The truth comes out 18 months after, I guess. No non-Knicks fan would have said that at the time, out of trolling instincts.
Felton was great for the Knicks. Very clutch, & a better offensive option than Gallo and Chandler.

lol this entire post is full of fallacies
Don't even start.
Felton was not clutch. Ever. And Amare playing on a MVP(of the East) for half a season was still not more impressive than his time on the Suns.
Felton was never - at any time - a better option than Gallo either.

Everyone laughed at Knicks fans when we would say that Amare was an MVP candidate.
And yes he was a better option. Gallo will give you 15 points in a half and zero the next.

Gallo did better this past season. He seemed to grow more as a player. With that said Felton better play at least like in 2010 w/ Amare.

WTF are you talking about. Outside of a few good games, he would take tons of horrible shots. And part of his problem was that he wouldn't run the damn offence, and would take it upon himself to take some fucked up shot.
And Felton was still arguably the dumbest 17/7 point guard of the decade. Definitely top 5. You didn't know if you were getting an alley oop or a pass into the 3rd row with him. He was allowed to be erratic. That's pretty much it - and I told everyone that Felton had the potential to be an 17/7 type of player IF his coach was okay with him proving that he was one of the most retarded point guards in the league.
Gallo wouldn't absolutely kill his own team or leave them all stunned with fuckery every other game.
Seems like you only watched late february. December & january, he was not like that at all. WTF all you want
Oh man, you don't know... Gallo could pull a better disappearing act than a Bobcats rookie after the draft. So fucking annoying to have him stand around for 3 games, clank 4 long range bricks, then get so fucking hot for a while and everyone would forgive him b/c we're scarred by Starks.
Ray had balls. The team needed that kind of attitude.

Gallo was splitting time with Wilson Chandler during an important time of development for him..
At the time, noone laughed at STAT's dominance
Oh c'mon. There are logs, but it's not worth the effort b/c you all fully know that Knicks get clowned daily. Everyone said he would give up 50 on defense when he scored 30+ for a while.
A disappearing act is a lot better than actively fucking your own team.
And the Knicks defense WAS trash - even while they were playing the easiest opening schedule in the league and barely staying above .500.

Is that what you tell your sexual partners?
Yeah. That's the kind of stuff that was written. No MVP talk.

His D wasn't any better at that time..
There are logs, and have not seen them ALL but I do remember people giving him his props until he just stopped being good..
You can't win MVP when your team isn't even Top 4 in the East.

Amar'e only got MVP talk because the media is extremely stupid and massively overrates players that are on TV frequently and players that don't play defense. Zach Randolph and LaMarcus Aldridge had better seasons by every measure and they weren't even in consideration for the award.
What? It's all decided, i dgaf. It's just random teasing, lighten up. You must be missing LS' sense of humor.

no one takes CWestbrook seriously
Not true. I know many of us had Amare as an early season MVP Candidate, up until the all star break.
His last half of that year was abysmal when he started getting knee pains because he had to carry so much of the load and big minutes, how ever.

I watched all season.
From the start where he was a tub of out of shape lard till he was traded for marshmello.
Your not the first to look at his time with the knicks through rose colored glasses. I remember the horrible bounce passes that missed everyone. I remember him taking asshole 3's rather then setting up the offence like a pg should.
He's cut a ton of weight, wow.
Stat is back!
Also... a fair criticism of Gallo.
He doesn't seem to demand the ball / attention on defense enough. I love his game. Great player to have on any team. But i'm not sure he's even 1B good at the moment.
he made chauncey's asshole 3s look conservative

Not really.. Stat has always been thin..
Compared to last year he looks a lot leaner.

He put some pounds of muscle on which is apparently one of the reasons why he wasn't as explosive. Right here he looks like suns Amare physique.

You can't see it, but just to the right of Amare in that pic is Tony Parker getting an open layup.
True, but he looks leaner to me. It'll be much better on his back.
I meant, i'm not sure he's going to develop into one.

probably cheaper than MGS tickets too, right? I wish the Raps could get a team that encroached on their turf and forced management to think about what it would mean in the long term to take a "fuck the fans theyll take what we give 'em" Toronto Maple Leaf approach.
Last season he was 265 right now he's 240.

I wonder why it took so long for someone to bite the simple black color scheme. I wonder if Al Davis would have sued them if his crazy ass were still alive.
