Defending Eddy Curry, and praising the strides he has made really has to stop, it’s downright criminal and laughable. Perhaps your ignorant perhaps you just a little slow or maybe you just like having someone that effectively turns into a black hole sucking the life out of the team when he doesn’t have the ball

Centers comparisons (split time as a center)
Rebounds: 22 centers have more rebounds
Assists: 38 centers have more assists
Blks: 47 centers have more blks
TO’s: Of all the centers in the entire league Eddy has the second most turnover, second only to Dwight Howard

So he is bruised but not broken? Because he was snubbed for not making the all-star team. Beating a dead horse but there is no reason Wade should not have 60blks and Curry 27blks not to mention Balkman who doesn’t play with 32. Delonte West has 21 to his 27blks.

I think while he was getting his new ink on his flabby breasts he should have thought to himself instead of making excuses perhaps if I dropped 25 pounds actually worked out during the off-season, tried consistently and jumped for rebounds. I would be averaging 23pts 11rbs 2blks. If you are one of the most athletic bigs in the entire league you should be a force on the court. Last night he didn’t move in the paint and let Howard have his way.

The problem with this team is no one is mentally tough and can’t take any criticism without making excuses, we should be a playoff team, he should dominate teams, but we are not doing.

If Eddy is bruised but not broken, perhaps he should dominate Dalembert tonight and punish Bogut and make people sorry for not making him an All-Star and get us on an actual winning streak.

or perhaps you're just a bitter little man who needs to find something better to do than insult people's intelligence on this board on a daily basis by making your little snide side remarks just because they disagree w/your overly pessimistic view of this team & this roster?

I am another bitter little man and there are a lot of them...
I don't like what I see with Eddy and i will tell it out loud.
Scoring is cool but I don’t care. If player is a "-" when he is on the court he is a "-"
If he will score 40-50 and will be +10 I will like the guy. But this is only in fantasy world.

ark, no one said Curry's a perfect player... i've always agreed he needs to improve alot on his rebounding & defense... that's not what i was eluding to here... i don't hear you calling people ignorant for having an opposing opinion.

I think this is what you just did with MS...

Eddy is young and can improve his game.
But he must accept the reality that he is half player. And the environment is not pushing him in this direction. Including your post.
I don't think he is reading the UK but who knows?
I never heard from him that he need to improve on defense, rebounding, short blocking, lidersheep, etc. So I never heard about it from IT or any other MSG voice...
And this is bad for Eddy... and bad for the team.

I still don't understand why Shaq was on that all-star team. I don't care if foolish fans voted for him. Stern should have step in and say what's wrong with you people. Curry has to improve his defense though. Howard was just able to jump over Curry to get rebounds. Also, I think the problem with the Knicks is that Curry cannot afford to get into rebound foul issues. If the officials would allow him to bang for boards I think you would see him go after more loose balls. If Lee is playing the 3 spot. You can't have him hang around the basket for rebounds. He should be making a move out towards starting a fast break. At this point it makes more sense either moving Lee to the 4 spot and having a a true wing guy at the 3. The problem with the Knicks is that Curry is the only post threat currently. If he accumulates fouls to quickly then there is a problem. There are games where Howard scores just 12 points but can grab 20 boards and that fits with the Magic plan. The way the team is structure right now Curry isn't afforded that opportunity. The nights where Curry plays his best defense is when they don't need his scoring IMO.

One of the prime rules of business: don't insult your paying customers. No way in hell Stern would do something like that.

if you don't think i've ever said Eddy didn't need to improve on his conditioning or his defense, you haven't been paying attention... i don't call people ignorant if they don't agree w/my opinion though... there's a difference between holding a reasonable debate on Eddy Curry (the way i'm able to do w/guys like fishmike or dj) & just being annoying because you have nothing better to do with your spare time.

TMS you sound like someone that gets walked all over in life, if your happy with a player that doesn't try even a little on the defensive end, be my guest. You can strive and applaud being medicore....

If the guy scores 25pts he is still so bad at every other aspect of his game that we can't be a good team, because your other pal crawford can't keep anyone out of the lane, and when they get there Eddy just moves out of the way.....how many great players are that out of shape and chubby, i don't know if i can name one, don't say barkley because he was briging down 12rbs at 6'4.

Our GM/Coach has zero idea of how to build a contender, and can't allow himself to do the right things on the bench because he is so incompetant in the front office....He doesn't get on the Baby Bulls ever, and its beginning to be upsetting. That team last night is terrible, the knicks should be in front of them already, and i am sick of everyone measuring success against last season.....

I don't care that shaq was an all-star he hasn't playe in months and comes back and already is in better shape than eddy, who shouldn't ever been mentioned, considering or discussed as an All-Star, Lee is an All-Star before eddy, as was Okafur, Gordon, Deng, Jamison, etc....

Wait- what is all this talk about Curry avoiding foul trouble, thus the lack of rebounding/defense?

He was getting called for offensive fouls- which he has cut down on. No reason not to try to play defense or grab a defensive board.

see, this is what's so entertaining about you MS... you never give up w/the insults... i made a long ass post to isles the other day explaining how no one on this board was happy w/mediocrity, & you still cling to it to rebutt any argument... why should anyone take you seriously on this board if you want to twist everyone's opinions into something they ain't? who the F do you think you are dude? seriously?

Just because someone loves the knicks and points out the faults of the team and wants Isiah out of the picture doesn't mean i have nothing better to do with my time.....

I find that funny considering I joined this site two months after you, and you have posted
7,560 more times than me, it would seem that you sit in front of your computer talking about the knicks instead of leaving the house.....but we don't need to attack each other personally.

You want to have an intelligent debate about the state of the knicks i can do that, but if your exciting about the direction of the team i just don't see it, ....

In my opinion we have a few guys that can make a contribution in Nate, Balkman, and Frye but they can't get the time they need because of the rosters moves isiah has made. And Lee is an allstar in waiting, while curry has incredible offensive talent, but doesn't really care all that much about reaching his potential....

Why do we get three Curry is garbage threads after a victory?
lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.

i post from work dude... so what are YOU doing on this board at this hour? i assume you work don't you? or are you still living at home w/your parents & haven't graduated JHS yet?

i've tried to be civil w/you in prior debates in the past & everytime we disagree you wanna start throwing insults my way... dude, if you have such a problem with me, you can come to the MIN game & we can talk this out, or whatever else... i'm open to whatever... you accused me of never having played the game & i told u i'd be happy to let u show me how good you are in a game... you never got back to me on that.
