There's no point in discussing the hypothetical situation of Curry putting up 20/8 on 60% shooting with average defense on a consistent basis, because it's never going to happen.

He's already averaged 20-8 60% last year. If he gets in better shape and gives consistent effort like tonight--he can do it--I mean the defensive part. Hes already proven he can do the other numbers.

He averaged 19 and 7 and shot 57% from the field. He's shooting 54% now. Not a big drop off. The only difference is he was force-fed the ball last season. Curry is a player I cannot understand why anyone would root for. He is a lazy underachieving fool who refuses to play defense or rebound.

He isn't going to average 20 and 8 in his career and I will go even further and say he will never even average 19 and 7 ever again.

What do you mean force fed the ball--the guy led the NBA in FG%--do you understand basketball? If someone is shooting at a 60% clip--he should get the ball *more* not less. Curry has scked this year--there is no doubt about it. We made bad mistakes with Eddy Curry's progress by acquiring Zach Randoplh and Eddy did not help himself and has been a bit of a martyr. Eddy Curry was a *dominating* type of player in 2006 who shouldve been helped to continue to develop. They shouldve never traded for Randoplh. I suggested using Lee and balkman @4 --- continue to build on Curry's success of 2006 which has turned into failure. Now can Eddy come back from this--as a Knick fan I hope so--if not for him staying??? or to increase his value. There is no reason why he cant get back to the 20-7 level and play average defense. Hard work this offseason and getting rid of Zach and going a different way would go a long way. Isiah screwd himself with that Zach trade.
This team was going to be a playoff team and a tough little out in 2006 if Jamal didnt get hurt and Isiah destroyed the only chemistry we had going for us. he shouldve been more interested in the offseason developments of Lee Balkman and Curry instead of these max contract star phucking trades that backfire every time.

Do I understand basketball? Yes. Do you? Because clearly you don't.

Curry was far from *dominating*. That is a complete joke. Any 6'11, 300 lb center who gets 7 rebounds (career high) and half a block per game while starting and playing heavy minutes is a disgrace to the NBA. I don't care what you say. I'd rather my center rebound and play some defense like Chandler rather than charge into people for offensive fouls, not pass out of double teams, play like a pansy, and look morbidly obese.

Eddy Curry never had a work ethic and never will. Zach Randolph isn't to blame for that. Zach Randolph is his own person and player and he may have had a little to do with Curry's production but that doesn't give Curry an excuse to gain even more weight and play even more lazy. The guy is one the biggest busts in NBA history. A man his size and he plays like Mugsy Bogues.Hell, Bogues could out rebound this fat pathetic whale.

Playoff team? Where are you right now, Gilligan's Island? You must have been that Isisah follower that believed every word he said and probably thought that "injuries killed us last year" and it hindered us from showing our greatness. Yep, Isiah ruined it all by trading for Zach. Zach ruined everything man. He made Isiah bench Marbury and Marbury go AWOL, he made Jamal Crawford chuck shots, he made Randolph Morris and Chandler sit on the bench and he also destroyed the championship aspirations this team once had. Balkman, in all his glory, can only score off garbage buckets and plays decent defense. Lee already has developed with his jumper. Zach must have killed that too. Zach is the root of all evil.

Of course, the obese un-motivated career underachiever who plays center for this Knicks and really should be the Knicks mascot as the Pillsbury Doughboy never gets any blame. e's cool. He's a superstar. You'll see. He'll come back and *dominate* everyone with 19 and 7 and lead us to 33 wins. Eddy Curry is a man-beast!

You can't ignore poor FT shooting, very few assists, and a ton of turnovers when deciding whether he should get the ball more or less. You've followed basketball a long time. I'm sure you understand basketball well enough to understand that. I think you're just letting your love for Eddy cloud your judgment.
