no doubt, i don't think he's close to that level yet... i always thought Curry wouldn't be able to handle the PG position but i was wrong, he's done a fine job & is making some nice passes... everyone knew he could shoot but he's doing other things like rebounding & collecting his dimes that i didn't think he could really pull off at this level because of his skinny frame & the fact i thought he'd be another undersized SG, but he's proving he is a legit prospect at the PG position... it's too bad he didn't slip to us at #8.

After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

17.5 pts 5.9ass 4.5rbs 1.9stls 46% 43.7% from three 88.5%FT

The kis is already one of the best shooters in the entire league. That's what you look at when determining who he is. He doesn't have a low post threat on the team and is lighting it up out there.

Gallo and Curry would've made us a fun team to watch this year.
lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.

Me too. I didnt see those PG skills coming at all. Especially not this early.

Why did the Knicks tip their hand so hard on this cat? They literally put a neon sign on his back and initiated the Don King hype.

I'm sure they tried to get SCurry not to workout for other teams, but he himself is somewhat to blame as he chased a higher draft position. If Curry wanted NY that bad, then say you won't workout for other teams. Shuit it down. Call it a quad strain.

true. It not like there is a huge money difference between 7 or 8 and he would definitely rather be here than there, I'll tell you that much.

love curry. i wish we'd gotten him.

but look closely at that box score from last night. it's nuts. four guys for golden state played the full 48 minutes and it would have been all five but devean george fouled out in the 4th quarter. nellie tried to keep him on the court by accepting a technical foul.

So Coach Don Nelson, who recently became the career victories leader, used five players for the rest of the game.

Well, he tried. When Devean George fouled out in the fourth quarter, Nelson argued that he had no players left and that George could remain in the game while the Warriors were assessed a technical foul. Officials said that one of the other players on the bench must enter the game. The game stalled as the sides argued.

First of all, its [barkley] terrible [/barkley] that Nelson is the career leader in victories because that dude is a disgrace.

Anyway, how much brighter would this team look with curry on our team right now? Drafting him might have been the difference in a playoff birth and a potential championship down the road. We'd look a lot more appealing to Lebron if we had this cat as well as other free agents.

Oh well.

people can talk about all the other mistakes - but the 2009 lottery was so poorly played by walsh. if you have to give up wilson chandler to get stephen curry... YOU DO IT. no questions asked. walsh struck out BIG in the draft.

we should be building around Curry, Gallo and cap space. we're not. alas.

So cuury gets a pass putting up big numbers on a crummy team but lee gets kicked to the curb for the same thing..

And don't give me that non sense about who he's playing with cause D lee had the worst PG in the league, and a bunch of lame duck chuckers filling out the roster.

i love david lee. but the question is - is dlee better than bosh or amar'e? and the answer is no.

i would not be opposed to pairing dlee with bosh or amar'e, but i think it makes more sense to pair those guys with a playmaker like joe johnson and try to get a big man in the middle somehow. marcus camby, anyone?

if it is somehow possible to Joe Johnson, Amar'e and Camby... i'd be thrilled:

Toney
Joe Johnson
Gallo
Amar'e
Camby

bench: wilson, walker, barron annnnnd ... duhon (lol, you know he'll be back at the minimum, mike loves him)

that's a 55-60 win team

if we substitute DLee for Amar'e, it's a very good team, but without a dominant inside scorer. and I don't think Joe Johnson comes here unless he's coming with a bosh or amar'e type.

I understand all that, but i don't understand is how d lee gets crucified for his defense, yet a player like say...ohhh...Curry gets to put up 40 and gets praises.

Did anyone watch that final warriors game? I just saw the highlights. They only had 6 healthy players. And one got hurt during the game. So they're down to five guys. Then Devean George fouls out! They subbed in some injured guys, and then the refs let Devean George back in after they awarded the other team a technical and two free throws. The crazy thing is GSW still won the game!

I mean we have guy's wishing we drafted a guy that can put up 40 or have 40 put up on him any given night..

Im confused as to how 70% of the players in the league are horrible one on one defenders, yet we are looking at amare, booze, and bosh like there light years ahead of lee in any defensive catagory, we still are going to give up 106 points.

Curry lets everyone blow by him, and if he was here, we would be better offensively, which would win us a few more games, but the defensive issue would be over looked base on us out scoring everbody, which will be the cas next season, and as long as MDA is our coach

U dont understand this board too well. Every player not in a Knicks jersey is bound for the hall of fame.

Didn't you just say his game is hyper inflated? And you think he would have put up the same on the knicks and we make the playoffs?

The only reason he makes sense on the knicks, is becuase of MDA and the system the knicks play, the lay up line would still be in full effect...

Given that we had Chris Duhon starting for a majority of the season, yes I think he could have at least had us fighting for a playoff spot.

I mean, there is some middle ground. I think he's good and I would want him on our team. Do I think he is a future top-10 and would I want him over D-Wade? Cant say all that.

hahaha. We talking about Briggs here. My man is the G.O.A.T when it comes to getting carried away with his flavors of the month. Naw, he wasnt be sarcastic.

Two quick quotes of the top of my head. He said Bogut would be way better than KG and he said he would rather have Anthony Randolph and B. Lopez over Lebron James. Duke is a psycho.
