Juany8: I’m also at the point where I’m glad the Knicks passed up on Lin (and not only because I’m a Rockets fan lol) Felton spaces the floor better and fits in better with the Knicks dogged defensive identity. I also feel that if Lin was here soaking up the media attention, it would cause resentment among his teammates, and the best part of the Knicks play so far is everyone being pretty damn unselfish and united. Lin is certainly a better player than Felton, but the most important PG on this team is Kidd anyways, the offense simply works when he is on the floor.

I can't say I'll ever be at the point of being happy the Knicks passed up Lin, but even by watching Sunday's game, I kinda-sorta see where the whole "Felton/Kidd a better fit" thought process comes from.

I wonder how people are starting to feel about picking teams like Atlanta and Brooklyn over the Knicks. It seems like picking up old veterans who know how to play and handle a winning locker room helped out after all.

Frank:
Regarding Brewer’s three-point shooting, I remember there was a shot chart on him that showed he was about a 37% shooter from the right corner. So they thought this out about putting him on that spot. Woodson has said that he is a numbers driven guy- makes you feel like he knows all this.

I think this is the chart you are referring too, also someone mentioned last night that Dave Hopla the shooting coach we hired may have helped brewer with his shot a little.http://vorped.com/bball/index.php/player/shotchart/1124-Ronnie-Brewer/season/2011-2012-REG

I, for one, am excited that Chandler has added a 15′ – 18′ shot to his arsenal. If he takes and knocks it down consistently (or at least at 45%), he will force teams to guard him away from the rim and help with the spacing for ‘Melo and STAT. It still going to be difficult to play all three together, but maybe with Kidd and Felton providing floor balance it could work.

I see a Prig, Shumpert, Novak, STAT and Sheed unit being really effective. STAT will need time with the ‘Melo, but he will have lots of room to operate in the lane with Novak and Sheed demanding coverage on the perimeter.

My fantasy team is enjoying Mayo’s early season success lol

jon abbey: of course Dirk is out which helps, and Marion left tonight’s game with a knee strain. Mayo has been going nuts, who guards him?

He often operates off Collison's penetratio and in transition. I like Kidd on him.

One thing ruru deserves credit for is calling the Wallace signing a (potentially) great one. Almost everybody mocked him for this, and Wallace now looks like the best healthy PF on the team not named Carmelo Anthony. Hopefully he can remain productive in whatever minutes he gets in the future.

ruruland: Dallas is a very good team, and imo, will eventually be the second or third best club in the west when they are healthy. Friday is a huge challenge.

Any comment on Chandler’s jumper?
