I like Curry. However, I will say that I prefer Thai-style curry (with coconut milk) over Indian curry. But both can be good.

Briggs, do you really have faith in Curry? Getting in shape alone is huge for him. The last time he was in shape was his last season in Chicago, and even then, he wasn't in the greatest of shape. He's never played in a running style. He NEEDS to play defense AND rebound, b/c if he can't, he'll be on the bench. How else do you initiate the fast break?

If Curry gets in shape, magically becomes a rebounder/defender/shotblocker and can somehow learn to move around the perimeter, which he never has, then i'll give you credit for having faith in him. I don't have faith in him though. He shouldn't be on the team.

I have renewed faith in ALL of the current players that should and will be on the roster when the season starts. That includes Mr. Curry!

I dont think Curry with ever be svelt. At 25 all he has to do is get up and down the floor well. He can do that hard for 20 minutes. I think that will benefit him and make him more hungry for extra PT as well./

yeah, when the Bulls won 48 games or so in Curry's last season there before he came to the knicks, he only played the first and third quarters and still scored 16ppg. i think the knicks can use him in a similar role.

Curry is one 'in shape body' away from beig what he can be. And it will be enough to fit our needs. It's like working part-time, so it's the easiest job he'll have.

What I don't understand is 'why are people down on Curry, when he hasn't even played one game in D'Antoni's system yet'?

he showed up completely out of shape after a miserable season last year & he's already missed a couple games w/sickness, plus his contract is another killer in 2010... can't blame people for being down on the guy.

That's understandable. I'm give him a completely new slate myself. I expect some surprises from him and company. I think throwing up, being rushed to the hospital, still being sick and what his teammates have done in the first two preseasons will wake him to what he's in for and he has to be ready.

No more isiah vacations on this team. It's D'Antoni 'work or your out'.

He'll do it. The key is to run him barefoot like a dog in the mountains, until he stops throwing up. And you just know D'Antoni ain't going to give nobody a free pass. He'll either pass into his potential or die like a helpless little calf left all alone in the woods, amongst the wolves and grizzly bears who'll have better use of him.

He had a clean slate. It got dirty already when he showed up out of shape. He doesn't get new clean slate every month.

As soon as he comes back I am.
