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?

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.

"new ink on eddy's flabby breasts?"

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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....

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.

Hey MS...you should think about adding a "P" to your screen name. And this is coming from a chica. I understand your gripes but seriously, RELAX!
