Felton says no doubt he’s better than Lin. Its not comparison

[Brock Landers]

I was saying I'd gladly take Felton and Dragic over Lin, dude just keeps proving me right. Felton did get outmatched by Nash today though

 

[Trip]

Lin's the better player and the Knicks screwed that up

People always wanna up threads w/o any type of understanding or context of the situation

Earlier in the year, Felton was healthy, now he's playing with injuries in both of his hands. People who were quiet when Lin was struggling coming off his "knee injury" are coming out the woodwork now. Cute.

Earlier in the year, Felton was healthy, now he's playing with injuries in both of his hands. People who were quiet when Lin was still struggling coming off his "injury" are coming out the woodwork now. Cute.

Exactly, I'm reading through this thread like . Where were all these Lin fans when he was scrubbing it up?

Knicks went with the Chinese knockoff version of Lin.

Lin was geting shytting on. I shytted on him teh wortst probably. Man, elton sucks right now. Yall act like its inexusable to critize a nigguh. He's been on of the worst starters in the last few weeks.

I didn't say its inexcusable. I'm saying nikkas don't use logic. Its obvious the reason why Felton is playing so terrible since the Miami game and its not because he suddenly lost all the talent he had at the beginning of the season.

This isn't even about who's better. It's about if you weren't saying Lin was better when Felton was healthy, you need to pump your brakes.

Its just as stupid for ppl to say Felton was beter than Lin when he clearly was still recovering from knee surgury.


When both are healthy, its seems to me that Lin is better. Better floor genreal and controls the tempo better

I Like Lin, But I Like Ray Too. If Were Were To Put PGs In Classes (Class A, Class B, Classes C) I Thinking They'd Be In The Same Class With Ray Slightly Above Lin

Ray, When Healthy Balled The Hell Out For Us, Got Traded, Got Lazy And Slumped

Came Back Healthy, Balled The Hell Out, Got Hurt, And Slumped

I've Lost No Faith In Ray Other Then The Fact He Needs To Put His Pride Aside And Nurse His Injuries For The Sake Of The Team Cuz It's Starting To Cost Us Games

I Told Dudes Lin Could Florish And Play Well Even Without D'Antoni And Got Put On A Chopping Block, The Kids Been Playing Well In Houston

No argument for the first statement.

Granted both are healthy, Lin has better vision. Not sure what you what you mean by controlling tempo, the Knicks play at a slow pace by design. I think Felton is a better shooter which helps in this offense. Felton is also a better passer off the P&R, which is a big reason why Tyson is averaging career highs in points/FG%. Both are pretty decent finishers in traffic, though I'd give the edge to Lin there because his floater game >>>> Felt's.

Ray was a better on ball defender but his defense has fallen off completely this past month. I'm not sure how much of that is a byproduct of his injuries and not wanting to fight through picks or get physical w/ ballhandlers. I'll just call that a wash at this point.

Lin is playing great these last 4 games though, clap for him.

Lin is the better playmaker. I dont about pick and roll passer being Felton either. Asik benefits greatly off th pick n roll from Lin, he just doesnt play above the rim like Chandler. Asik has this think for reverse layups(which he misses ast a high clip) :shrugs: mustve been a jordan fan coming up, i suppose.

 

[FreddyCalhoun]

He might be better now...But Lin is only a second year player...For him to be in the same league as Felton is a pretty big accomplishment.

I already said Lin had better vision, i.e. playmaking ability. And me saying Felton is better at something doesn't necessarily mean Lin isn't good at it as well. Asik also happens to be a pretty decent player in his own right.

The thing about it is, Felton is pretty much reached his ceiling. Felton isnt going get much better than he is now. Lin hasnt even tapped his full potential . Even as he's ballin now, i see a lot of things he can improve on to get better.


I dont blame the Knicks for not staying with Lin. I just think they should upgraded if they got rid of Lin.

and after 82 game season...felton will get that.... Syndrome
