thats right.. im saying it. Watching him last night, even tho we were terrible in the first half - Something has clicked in this guy.

I mean, the streak of 20point games is fine.. but the shot blocks and rebounds is whats really gettin me.. Hes playin great, agressive, ripping rebounds down, throwin shots away... Gettin position, drawing fouls not commiting them. Looking awesome what can i say.

God forbid we give a player credit for improving this season around here... yeah, the team still sucks, but what Curry's been doing this season is something every Knick fan should be excited about.
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

He's been playing great but he's like every other player on this squad to me. He's not untradeable.

we love the progression but where was it last year, at the beginning of this year, they are just getting him about 5 more shots a game that he can finish easy.....

he has made some nice moves, and is moving in the right direction, but the guy still needs to drop 15 to be a little quicker out there to help the guards and protect the paint better, we are all excited about the shot blocking improving but if you that large with that reach and athletic ability you should be average 2.5blks a game

I'm excited about Eddy and like Elite said, he is grabbing rebounds. And last night, he had 2 KEY blocks and 3 KEY rebounds. And he RIPPED those rebounds down and held them like it was his baby. Good signs man but WTF was with the first half. That means we need a leader.

Elite it takes a big man to have an open mind. You changed your mind on Curry. I changed my mind on you. I respect somebody that can keep an open mind. Great post. :)

well then you can still hate on me. when i saw the words, "eddy curry turned the corner," i thought for sure the next ones were gonna be, "and slipped on the wrapper from his double quarter pounder® with cheese."

Hey man i diddnt like how he was playin early on but hes proving me wrong and trust me im thankful for it!!!! Im a knicks fan i want this team to do well and i want all our players to do well, i just get mad when they dont perform how i feel they are capable of. I dont think im a "hater" even tho some of my posts may seem negative.. i just get frustrated like any other fan.. but if a player shuts me up ill be the first to admit it and thank the lord that they did!!!

go knicks!

Curry is a keeper. He still has a long way to go before I consider a franchise center, but I like him on the team and like what he is doing. I, for one, always thought the Curry trade was worth the gamble and hopefully that will prove to be the case. Curry just needs to learn to play with passion the whole game, every game, and he will be fine.

agreed... seems like some people are bashing that trade now that had no problem with it when the deal was made... if the deal was worth the gamble before, then people should be more patient to see how things play out before casting final judgement... we don't even know whether or not the swap rights player will even turn out to be any good... Curry's got a lot to learn still before anyone can call him a franchise player, but he's showing improvement this season & it's great to see.

I just watched the game again on Knicks in 60 and win or lose at least we have some hope watching Eddy play. He isnt a franchise center. He is not a superstar but he is the closest thing we have to an all star and its fun watching his progression. doc was doubling him and even tripling him at times. Thats cool. I'd like to see Lee and others cut more for drop offs. Marbury still has problems feeding him in the post. I dont get way. All the other players seem able to do it much easier.

I tell, it's really encouraging to see all these double-doubles from the front line. Curry has turned a corner, and Lee has been terrific and will keep improving. Q's been mostly great but has had some ups and downs lately, but it never stops him from trying and hitting the boards. I think he's our leader and the more clear they can make that for the Q and the team (ie, getting rid of or shutting up Steph and Steve) the better off we'll be.

We need to cut to the basket a lot more. That will get them easier buckets. And then we could talk about his ability to make players better. You really can't ask for more than having your center get triple teamed. They also need to hit there 3s. We have to capitilize on Curry getting double or triple teamed by hitting our outside shots when they are available so teams would have to pick there poison.
