Raymond Felton won't stop for a sprained ankle.

Raymond Felton rolled his ankle something fierce during the third quarter of last night's Knicks-Blazers game. He kept playing, though, and via Alan Hahn, now insists that he'll be ready to go for tonight's match-up with the Jazzes. Felton still hasn't missed a game this season despite injuries to his back, hand, and now ankle. The man is unstoppable. He is some combination of warrior, bulldog, rugged penguin, and little engine that could. Or is he something else? From that Hahn article, Ronny Turiaf had this to say about his point guard:

"With him, we're on the same page at all times," Turiaf said of Felton. "He directs traffic, in a sense, and my job is 10 times easier when somebody tells me what to do. I like to follow orders. He's my little general. My midget general. And I really enjoy playing with him."

Yeah, or that.

I love

how a 6 footer is a midget to these giants in the NBA
I love this bearded bastard

When you participate in sporting events, it's not whether you win or lose, it's how drunk you get.

Almost take Ray for granted

coutless times this year you see him wincing in pain and yelping either back to the bench or just getting back on D. But then he goes right off and drops a sick crossover ducket at whoever dare guards him.

I think we can expect a good game out of him today too. Deron is the best PG in the game and he always seems to play up or down to his comp (luckily there’s a lot of good PGs in the NBA…)

Chris Paul

Is the best PG, and it’s not really that close.

aside from Deron Williams

yea, I agree.

Agreed D-Will's the best

Paul’s not even having that great of a year. A few seasons ago and when he was putting up like 24, 10 and 4 then he was the best, but others have passed him. And I’m hoping Felton gets up for this game. However, Williams is in a little slump, so he may catch a break a little bit

by WSD on Jan 12, 2011 4:39 PM EST up reply actions  

Yep

Deron is a distant second (though he is still excellent)

Free Randolph.

yea but ray-ray has more cartilage

Dr. James Andrews removed the torn portion of the cartilage and did not repair it, Paul said.

isnt it crazy that this was up for debate before

the season started!

I am a fan of both the mets and knicks... so just kill me now.

by gbaked on Jan 12, 2011 10:50 AM EST up reply actions  

i was skeptical at first

but i knew there was no way the guy could be worse. and i knew he would be significantly better. but i had no idea what he was capable of.

duhon, in his first season, broke down toward the end of december, felton is only getting better.

his handle is infinitely better, he throws passes that have some mustard on them. duhon, was never able to make a pass that wasn’t soft. he gets over picks with gusto. he pushes the tempo. he shines when the going gets tough. i mean- everything that duhon was capable of was utterly worthless. and felton is specifically the opposite. duhon was such a little bitch, and felton is tough as nails. gotta give it up to this guy!

i pretty much knew right away

because all i could remember initially, was how he always seemed to torch us when we played agains CHA

Yeah I never doubted Ray Ray

And that’s not supposed to be gloating I just knew he’d adjust and be magnificent. To me, he really seems like a name like Starks or something that gets fondly tossed around 15 years from now

Gotta love Ray for being such a badass PG

also gotta like Turiaf’s professed love for Ray-Ray

Come on this guy was pretty tough and badass

I feel like he isn’t remembered fondly enough or just mentioned enough but Spree was the fucking man

by WSD on Jan 12, 2011 4:44 PM EST up reply actions  

granted he did teach us how to properly choke out a coach

but spree ego was shattered like glass when he was passed up for houston (a decision i disagree with at the time) he was never the same since.

by cheers from manhattan on Jan 12, 2011 4:58 PM EST up reply actions  

Choking out the coach didn't happen with NY so it doesnt count

And yeah, he wasn’t himself in Minny but he was also older then. His time with the Knicks was glorious

by WSD on Jan 13, 2011 12:07 AM EST up reply actions  

there is no way we do not resign this guy

if that happens I will stop watching basketball

Ray is a pitbull general

def my vote for most improved player of the year award

by Archie Barberio on Jan 12, 2011 11:59 AM EST reply actions

coach of the year? most improved player? mvp candidate?

Candidate. Very unlikely winner though

hahaha

Gotta be best quote ever form Turiaf.. he likes to be told what to do. I always thought he has high IQ, that was off the charge IQ… Why waste time thinking when you have some one else to think for you right? His thinking is rightfully reserved for coming up with new facial expression when ref makes a bad call. Love Turiaf.

Did anyone see his post game interview with Tina?

So enthusiastic. “Thank you for having me!”

yes

i took note of that, as i don’t think i’ve ever heard a player in any sport say that, or at least say it so enthusiastically
