Nobody is a bigger proponent of Frye than me. However, he looks lost out there. I am fine with benching him whle he gets his head together.

I think this is why Isiah sat him- it wasn't a question of effort, it was a question of Frye getting his head together.

I think Frye is trying to hard, forcing things. He needs to step back, relax, focus and be himself.

do I think IT might the right decisions? How could I? I've been saying all summer that Frye starting with Curry was a disaster in the making. Both are centers, neither defend and neither are good rebounders. This is what I have been saying, but I get ragged on for not being patient bla bla bla. I thought it was pretty obvious what would happen.

So far we are 1-3, have lost 3 straight by double digits, blew a 19 point lead in our 1 win and Frye is shooting 22% in his first 4 games.

Its a bad fit. Since we all know we are married to Curry so long as Isiah is here I am OK with trading Frye if we can get a good pick back, get a young player with more of a future here, and hopefully combine him with a contract we want to get rid of

4 games in and you already have it figured out? The answer is to trade Frye? Exactly why would anyone take him the way he's playing right now? Nothing you've said makes any sense at all.

Ive been saying all offseason that Curry and Frye are a bad fit together. Why is it hard to figure out?
Curry is in his 6th year. He's never been a good rebounder and he's always been a BAD defender. Frye was a terrible defender last year, and in 4 years of college an average rebounder. Add to it they are both centers.

Nixluva.. it didnt take 4 games to figure out anything.

its never been about effort with Frye. He has ALWAYS played hard. It doesnt change the fact that he's a center and a bad fit next to Eddie our franchise player Curry. Frye cant guard 4's, and he doesnt get touches in the post playing with Curry.

Exactly, IT benched Frye because Frye is not playing well and he knows it and his teammates know it. He seems totally off in almost every aspect of his game. I think he needs to come off the bench for awhile until he regains some confidence. Maybe playing with the second unit will get him into a groove.

And no, I don't think IT is sabotaging Frye. He sat Frye b/c Frye needed to sit given how he was playing. IT is going to encourage the kid and hopefully will be able to find a way to help Frye find his game. Frye is a strong kid. He will eventually find his game.

Since Larry get credit for making frye career in a span of 50 games or making Crawford a 41% shooter last year, he should also take the credit for messing up Nate, Q, and Curry since they are playing much better without him around. Larry Brown is a HOF coach but last year he had an agenda and it didnt work. He was a miserable coach and Frye has been was of the most outspoken guys against him

Posted by Andrew:

The real question I have is why is Crawford still playing and Frye sitting on the bench? Crawford even got crunch time minutes last night over Q.

badda bing

Is it a coincidence that Marbury and Frye were the most outspoken against Brown and struggle now?

Karma is a b!tch.

But seriously, I think that kind of talk puts undue pressure on oneself to perform, and they're not handling the pressure well.
