I don't buy the "quiet" 20-10 theory. It goes back to the Sprewell/Houston comparison I made a long while back. Maybe if Houston scowled, sported cornrows, and maybe had a tattoo, he'd have gotten more respect as a player.

It seems that it's not enough to put up numbers - I guess Curry also needs to scream, wave his arms, and work on the facial expressions every time he dunks.

Production is production, especially in a closely contested game.

Frye could probably be putting up Curry-like numbers if he were given similar touches and minutes.

Tim Duncan works quietly too. So what?

Well, to DJ's defense, it was a quiet. He didn't get alot of his points from dump downs, he scored alot from drive and dishes, rebounds, and having good position and getting a good pass. But I am not sure if DJ is saying his points were quiet in the way that many try to downplay the points of other players they don't like for example SAR, or "fill in the blank"bury.

There were many reasons we won this. Curry scored throughout, Marb's made some big buckets in our droughts and kept us in it. Lee and Balk played good pressure d, and kept balls alive for us, and Craw finished them off. Often people like to give individual props to players the like and discredit others they don't like, but this is a team game, no one player ever wins the game for us.

He played a good game game. He can get 10 rbs without even boxing out like today just because of his size and quickness if he pursues the ball. Please no more 3 or 4 rebound games. As for Frye, right now Curry's a better player than Frye and he's probably better than Frye will ever be. You still can't compare a 6th to a 2nd year player, though.

So if Curry is a role player than what is Frye?

the point of this thread wasn't to single out Curry & discredit the other players who played well, just to get that straight... if you noticed i posted a thread to give props to both Jamal & Marbury too for their play yesterday.

& the reference to Frye wasn't meant to compare Curry to him... it was more of a reference to the much higher expectations placed on Curry over any of the other young players on this team, & the seeming lack of recognition that he gets from some of the posters here when he plays the way he did the other day... i thought the point was fairly obvious.
