Having a bad back makes you a liability on defense but so far this year Felton and Douglas hounding the ball in the backcourt has been a bright spot for the knicks. This game was definitely the worst representation for the coach to breakdown.  This was there worst defensive effort all year.

[bballbreakdown]

@strat100ful Let's hope their next game is better defensively - I really like Toney Douglas and Wilson Chandler. Even if it was their worst effort, their record reflects some bad defensive efforts wouldn't you say?

[strat100ful]

He hurt it in the game where he torched Wall and Arenas for 20 points 10 assists and 5 rebounds. I understand that as long as you are on the court you are open to criticism but it would be nice to give people a backstory.

@strat100ful Totally - one of the problems with covering all the teams, it's hard to keep up with every injury.

Felton was hurt in this game. He tweaked his back. You should have known coach. If you were at the game you saw hime getting treatment on the sidelines

[bballbreakdown]

@strat100ful Aha - well, it looked like he was hurt, then. Thanks for the info - I didn't see him getting treatment on TV - so I'll give him SOME leeway on his play. Let's hope his back gets better and he moves better than this!

You need to do more Knicks breakdowns. They make me hate D'Antoni even more. And also, i doubt he's losing any sleep over these. They just had a terrible game against Milwaukee tonight. The players got a lot of talent, and no way to use it since all they do is shoot. I can't help but blame the coach.

@strat100ful I have do doubts he can play well, but it's a bad signing for a team that was supposed to make big moves this summer. If they got him for less and he came off the bench backing up a better guard then it would be great. But Felton isn't going to do anything in a playoff game.

I guess actually getting to the playoffs would be an achievement in itself though for the Knicks when you consider the last few years.

@VegitoBlitz24 I agree - Brand never should've left. Heck, he should've been able to stay in Chicago - that was going to be a great team: Jay Williams (pre injury), Brad Miller, Elton Brand, and Ron Artest! OMG

[bballbreakdown]

@ImSoPeeved Yes - and I'm a die hard UNC fan at heart...

[bballbreakdown]

@strat100ful @LoneshotHero I have not seen Felton much at all in his career after UNC - but at least for this game, he really hurt his team with his defensive effort. Maybe he's been better the other 5 games, but their record hasn't reflected that they're playing well as a team, and it could be his defense is a part of it.

@LoneshotHero Have you even watched a knick game this year or is this breakdown all you've seen. This game aside Felty has been playing great. Pushing the ball with aggression
