Honestly the comeback just ended up pissing me off...

After the first half, i was just depressed and dissapointed.. mad but not furious.. just like godamn how is this team so dumb.

Then when we came back i started getting excited and Marbury turns the ball over and im throwing **** cursing yelling waking up my girlfriend.

So honestly, **** their comeback, im pissed.

Take better shots in the first half!

and back to embarrasing

I'm so glad fans here are proud of a team that falls 20 points behind to a starting line up of ryan Gomes, Al Jefferson, Tony Allen, Telfair and Paul Pierce. That might be the worst team in the NBA.

Proud indeed.

Hey.. at least Eddy the franchise got his 20

jeez fish, i've never known you to be so cynical... giving kudos to Eddy Curry's improvement is well deserved, regardless of how poorly the rest of the team played last night... i have no problem knocking Stephon for his boneheaded pass or his pisspoor perimeter D, i have no problem knocking Isiah for not playing Balkman at all last night, i have no problem for bashing Nate for his ridiculous selfishness in almost collecting a very costly technical when the team was trying to make their comeback run... but to bash Eddy for a 30 & 12 & 2 block effort is pretty ridiculous.

I don't think he was bashing Eddy there. I think he was making a point about how much we suck and how it's hard to be optimistic when we're so awful, despite one player playing well on offense.

sarcastically calling him the franchise who got his 20 kinda sounds like a dig to me... fish is usually more objective when it comes to observations on this team, but lately all i'm hearing from him is negativity... he's even gone on to say that he doesn't care about the progression he's seeing out of Curry because the record is what it is... i don't know what he expected to see out of this team this year, but i'm pretty sure Curry is exceeding anyone's expectations this season... i think he probably deserves some praise rather than ambiguous sarcasm for that, wouldn't you say?

Curry isnt a Franchise center ala Patrick/Shaq etc. They adont come around every day and Curry will never be at their level. But Curry is a legit 20-8 center (only other is Yao) who is a very valuable asset because of his low post scoring

I'm not bashing Eddy persay. I will say his development is grossly over inflated. Even more overrated is the impact his great play has on the game. Eddie had 8 points in the first qtr. Obviously that translates to a lofty 36 over the game. However the guy he was guarding (Jefferson) had 8 rebounds, also translating to 36 a game. I wont kill the Knicks for Paul Pierce hitting shots. But I will kill Eddy and everyone else for the terrible defense.

So far since Eddy's "they cant stop me" streak we are 4-6, mostly at home, mostly against BAD teams. Is Eddy's scoring any more impressive than Starbury getting 20/8 over a season? Who cares when the paint is open to all who want to shoot from there. I'm so excited we have the Zach Randolph of centers.

Maybe Eddy turns into something and we can find a way to make that production part of a winning system. Sorry, but I saw NOTHING to be excited about last night. I stopped watching with 2 minutes to go before half time. I watched the score on the game channel while I played games. When we started to make a come back I tuned back in to see if they could pull it off. Just in time to see Marbury throw it into the stands, then get picked off while he was yelling at Q for his turnover. Add in some missed FTs by Eddy and *poof* Knicks lose at home to another crap team.

Eddy has been in the league 6 years. We traded two picks for him and we are paying him $10mm a year. I guess I should be happy we are getting some scoring for that.

I am cynical. Its because Larry stole my joy

He is just picking on smaller players, which is what he should be doing, I will get excited when I see wins

so basically, unless Curry dominates a Shaq or a Yao Ming & it results in a W, you won't ever get excited about his play?... wow, you got some crazy high standards for Eddy Curry at this stage in his development man, let me tell you.

now you're just nitpicking dude... as long as he's putting up #'s, drawing double teams downlow & creating wide open opportunities for his teammates on the perimeter, what else can you ask for?

putting up 20 & 8 from the low post is a lot different than putting up 20 & 8 from a perimeter G imo... chances are you're getting a much higher percentage shot from a front court player first & foremost, & again, attracting a double team down low will open up everything on the perimeter for the guards.
