ok, just saw the interview. you can watch it on nba.com (there's a window on the right for TNT replay).

i met eddy briefly. he's like this big kid. and seems like a genuninely nice person. so he will come across very well in interviews.

hearing him talk about isiah as a coach (and then later from reggie), it's good to see he can motivate our players and can get them all focused on the same thing. but the other way i look at it is that if this team is really going all out and playing together anfd for him, then why was it 6 games under .500 before the jamal injury? i mean the east is pretty darn bad...and for the most part, we've been healthy all year up till the miami game, so why does our record not reflect the hard work and the supposed hard play of our team? and i think that's a direct indictment to isiah's gm'ing abilities.

curry has to lose 15 pounds at least...but i fear that he may not be able to. i don't think he's one to just shed off pounds. he has a big frame and there's no coincidence that the lightest he's been was amid ephedra rumors. and b/c of that, he may no be able to play on both ends of the court for a sustained period of time.

it will be interesting to see where he is as a player 1 year from now.

We said that last year too! And he's the same at everything except a little less bad at committing defensive fouls.

Actually... Eddy said he needs to work on his defensive rebounding. he said nothing about working on defense but Kenny Smith heard him wrong.

Here's exactly what I'm talking about TMS. Kenny did mention those 2 things and Curry may have mentioned them in one breath but that doesn't mean Kenny is wrong because he's correct in what he said. Here we have someone apologizing for him again, as usual, at the things he's not good at.

Its the mere fact, that he has been a lazy fat, waste his entire career for half the game, and then makes statements, like he wants to be traded if Isiah is gone.

Fat underachievers that have never played in the playoffs and take half the game off, don't rebound, pass or defend should never get inked up to prove a point that we already know, Eddy your delusional. You want to be a team leader than work out in the offseason, try during games, and educate your game. Youve looked disgraceful lately and we are tired of you not utilizing your skills and performing up to your potential. And if you love your coach that went out on a limb for you why did you come into camp out of shape again.

Paycheck player, he has his contract no need to work on his game in the offseason

If Jamal and Curry have this team at .500 at All-Star next year producing the same numbers (hopefully Eddy's blks and rebs go up), there's a good chance they make the East team.

20 & 7 rpg for Curry
21, 5 apg, 4rpg for JC

on a .500 New York team...its good for the team and the league.

Fact of the matter is we are a playoff team if you look at the squad we put out on the floor. If Marbury came in and bought in the first game of the season and Isiah didn't bring in 20 guards and realized DLee wins you game we are at 500 no problem....

We have had tremendous luck in the conference this season and won a number of games vs shorthanded opponents and if we didn't coast through the first quarters every night we might acutally be sitting where the raptors are now.....

Where is this void at pf....

11pts 11rbs in 31minutes a game leading the league in fg%, and only getting better

no problems starting lee...but a combo of lee + curry with no defense makes it very tough to win big. we would have to change our style of play.

Or change our center!

From today's NY Post:

Curry, in a taped interview with John Thompson that will air on tonight's TNT NBA broadcast, on becoming a team leader:

"I want that, I want it so bad - and it's going to take me stepping up and saying, 'This is my team. When I go, we go.' I really want that, and Coach Thomas is really great in helping me grab that, and that's what I love about him."

Is this guy serious?!? Whose team is it when they have to pull his stupid ass from close games because he doesn't even pretend to play defense?

If he really wanted it so bad maybe he would raise his arms above his waist when guards come straight at him for another layup or grabbed a rebound that wasn't coming straight at him.

It's freaking hysterical how he has this ridiculously high opinion of himself, when he's not even close to being as good as he thinks he is. They dump the ball down to him every time down the floor and he's only 25th in scoring...behind Kevin Martin. AND THAT'S ALL HE DOES! But he thinks he's the man already.

I'm sure he's going to work his ass off this offseason when he thinks he's already great. Pathetic.

I guess you didnt notice the block Curry had in the last game in the waning moments... or the rebound he had earlier in the game to push the Knicks run back into the game... or the turn around hook he made to tie Seattle. But who am I kidding right? Eddy Curry is the worst center to play the game. Hopefully we can put him on the block this summer... hopefully we can find someone to take him off our hands. Hey, maybe we can get Luke Longly back!
