A franchise player shouldn't go into a coma when other players on his team are out.

That's what Nixluva can't quite understand. The synapses in his brain are CLUSTERFU****.

The team needs EY more than ever offensively and defensively. He has to be the beast that's "BRUISED BUT NEVER BROKEN". Let's not forget he said "ALL THE PRESSURE IS OFF".

OK YOU FREAKIN GENIUSES, HOW WOULD ANY GREAT CENTER DO WITHOUT HIS TOP PF, and both outside shooters. Especially one of which was one of his top post feeders? You guys are freakin too much to be believed. You make it seem like he's just not playing well for no reason.

How is Shaq doing without Wade?

Again, nobody is saying that he's Shaq but God forbid Curry should exert himself even a little bit to help his team overcome those injuries.

No that's what the voices in your head are translating what we're saying.

What we really are trying to tell you and have been for a while......... IT IS WHAT IT IS, Curry isn't a franchise player, he's proving it as each game goes by down the stretch of the season. Franchise talent makes others around them better not the other way around.

That's WADE, but not also Haslem and Jones!!! Which is basically what we are faced with. Not to mention that we're talking about Shaq. But let's be real they have far more of their team together right now and they're all longtime VETS! There's no comparison. This is Curry's 1st time being the focus of a teams offense. So much so that teams are doubling and tripling him. But you guys don't want to give him any time to try and grow. This will end up being a good thing for him. He'll learn from all of this.

yeah he'll learn, but I think it's very rare for a player at curry's age to become a franchise player later on after not being one for their first 6 years in the league. oh well, I never thought curry was a franchise player anyway. I thought it was clear that he isn't.

Why are you guys insulting Bosh like this in the first place?

Let Curry play with a TJ Ford type of PG and see what he can do before you fatuously diss him. But hey, that's who you are.

Does Kirk Hinrich qualify? Also, Bosh was great playing with Mike James as PG. And what does the PG have to do with Lazy Eddy's awful defense, passing, and rebounding? You seem ready to make excuses nonstop to justify the four draft picks and expiring contracts we gave up for him.

He does now, he didn't then/

Bosh can get his own shot. No C that's Curry's size can.

This is the problem. Curry can do one thing and one thing only: score in the low post. That worked for a little while this season, but this is the NBA. These are fantastic athletes with smart coaches. Teams adjust. If you can do only one thing well, you can't adjust to their adjustments.

You didn't answer Bonn's question about what playing with Ford has to do with Curry's lack of defense, rebounding and all around hustle, which is the biggest complaint about him.

Bosh is an all around elite player. Curry is a good scorer and well below average for his position at everything else.

Make it personal all you want but it's still an insult to compare Bosh to Curry.
