if history holds to form, expect a crawford/gordon shootout.

Curry actually played Ben pretty well last year in 2 games. 26-8 and 16-11 vs Ben
I LOVED how Curry just exploded in the 4th, speaking as a fan of the Raptors, Curry looked well, scary I think is the word. Or Shaq-like Curry: 19.1ppg-7.3rpg-58%fg

...and a close game. it'd be nice to see Curry take advantage of Big Ben's struggles. We have to keep Nocioni and Deng under control, they seem to be focal points of the offense this year.

ball movement, use the zone occassionally, guard the perimeter. the Bulls can be had.

Wouldn't it be sweet for Curry to put together back to back monster nights? And with the whole pick swap arrangement for this year, plus a couple of ex-Bulls on the Knicks -- these games have crazy subplots. Should be fun to watch...

i feel the same way. everytime this team can do something to restore faith, they mess up.

FOr this very reason, this is a great opportunity for the team. This is the first real pressure game for them. We know they need this win, the players know they need this win, IT knows they need this win, and the Bulls know they need this win (or at least, the Bulls need this win as bad as us). How the team responds will tell us a great deal about our team.

a split against the Bulls over the next two would be solid. a sweep would be fantastic. let's sweep.

hey, they've fought hard almost every night this season. the effort has been there and we're starting to get some results. three 20 point wins in the last 6 games. they're top ten in the league in rebounding. the defense is improving. they're deep and they don't quit. baby steps. when jefferies gets here, that's one more guy who can defend and rebound the ball and run the floor.

You know im not talkin about the DLEE, Q Rich, and Nates of this team... dont get me wrong we have done some good things... And we have faught a lot harder this year so far than last year. But honestly i guess im just still a little pissed about the minnesota game and most of my frustrations are towards Stephon and Curry to tell the truth.. those are the 2 players im gettin sick of.

Lets go knicks tho :) I still bleed orange and blue !!

Tonights the night for our Chicago boys.
Q and Curry have big nights.
25 for Q to go with 7 rebounds
23 points, 12 rebounds, 2 blocks for Easy Edd. Let's go!

I would be pretty shocked if Curry has a big game against Ben and PJ. We'll need good guard play on both ends to win tonight. Chicago is better than their record.

Elite - you win as a team

How you can be sick of a 23 year old, who is still learning, is beyond my comprehension

because he's an out of shape underachiever. I like your posts and SugarRay's but your positivity toward Eddy really stuns me.

Look man, i pay very close attention to what eddy does on the floor every night. And I'm just tired of seeing him stand around catching his breath on defense while guys like Anderson Varejao Dribble right past him with absolutely no effort or resistance. Im tired of seeing a guy who is 23 year olds and should be in the best shape of his life struggle to muster enough energy to persue a rebound that could potentially be the difference between a win or a loss. I'm tired of seeing opposing gaurds drive to the basket and be met by a passive stare of shame instead of an assertive leap of effort. Yes im ****in tired of it. I dont care how old or young he is. Lowering the shoulder? I could see that as being young and learning... Turning the ball over? maybe... But EFFORT??? No.. no and NO AGAIN... Im sick and tired of Eddy Curry. that help you out enough?

The guy is bafflingly inconsistent -- that's how people can be sick of him. He is still learning, huh? What exactly is he learning? I think so far he has learned that you can make millions in the NBA without trying all that hard. But hey -- I hope you're right about Eddy. Though, for his sake, I hope the team and the coaching staff is tougher on him than you are. Right now, he's a cream puff. The kid needs toughness. It won't come from constant pampering.
