I'm sick of people saying top 3 center in NBA. He's getting way overrated. Big deal he scores a quiet 20. He gives up more than 20 by not crashing boards,playing defense and shot blocking. Plus he's 1 of worst passing big men in history of NBA.

He's already way overrated. He'll get you 2 to 3 easy baskets a quarter but he'll let 1-2 players blow by him for a layup every quarter. Vince Carter was going to the hole for another dunk last night and Curry was one step away from getting into his way but instead taking that step, he reached down, waited for VC to come by and tried a pathetic hand slap at the ball. Needless to say Vince dunked it.

Aside from getting easy baskets, that his teammates should get most of the credit for, Curry is below average in everything.

I have a crowbar to help extract that boot from your mouth...




What are you wrong about now?

I think DJ said it best --


If we're still questioning what a guy brings to the table 6,8, 10 years into his career............


Well I think that says it all.

New York fans questioned Ewing 6, 8, 10 years into his career. what else is new.

Wait, people are really using one game to discount his entire season and career???

That's freaking hysterical. I bet they're the same people who want others to exercise patience.

I just don't get what the big problem is. There have been MANY players who have been like Curry and not really good on the defensive end. With players like that you take what you can get from them and you try to get them to improve. So far he's still making the effor to try and improve, so what's the problem? If he did everything right he'd be the best Center in the NBA right now. That's a lot to ask at this point. He may get there, but for right now this year has been a good year for him.

You can see Curry gaining in confidence. Now he's faced Shaq and that is one of the last hurdles in his mind that leaves little doubt of just how good he can be. He played against 3 really tough inside players tonight, Shaq, Mourning and Haslem. He more than held his own. Can't we give him credit for that and not always have to go back and say well he only does this once in a while? We needed him and he showed up big, that's the most important thing.

And those are exactly the kind of players you should never give up four draft picks for. It's even worse if they're awful at defense and play center.

I posted this on another thread...

What's the hubub bub?
CAREER AVERAGES

Year Team G GS MPG FG% 3p% FT% OFF DEF RPG APG SPG BPG TO PF PPG
06-07 NYK 57 57 34.6 .593 .000 .619 2.5 4.6 7.1 0.8 0.4 0.5 3.40 3.40 19.6
Career 418 328 25.2 .546 1.000 .650 1.8 3.5 5.4 0.6 0.3 0.8 2.20 3.10 13.2

Eddy has show dramatic improvements this year.
He is +1.7 in total rpg from his career ave.
He is +1.1 in total def rpg from his career ave.
He is +0.7 in total off rpg from his career ave.
He is +6.4 in total ppg from his career ave.
He has a career high in FG% despite being the focal point of opposing defenses.

If you look at his numbers I don't think you can call him lazy. One thing that I have noticed about Eddy is just that he does not have the nose for the ball. Defensively or rebounding wise. Unfortunately, this is something you can't teach. Either you are an average rebounder or a great rebounder. As for blocking shots, I think he developed some bad habits in the past when he was continually in foul trouble early in the game. From there he just did not want to pick up anymore fouls hence he does not go after shots like. Also, he is just not built for blocking shots. He is in the mold of a Moses Malone(career 1.3 BPG), Willis Reed(career 1.1 BPG)...just a center with girth. Not the long skinnier type like Chamberlain, Russell, Motumbo, Ewing. Shaq is a diff monster all together.

I think people confuse his facial expressions to laziness. I see him trying to go for boards...he just goes to the wrong spot.

Eddy has shown significant improvement from years past.
