are we still talking about the same Curry who was putting up that stretch of dominant games in the low post over the past 2 weeks that had everyone calling him a possible Allstar C this season? he has 2 off games & now he's a bum again... i love it.


Who were his opponents again? Offensively he ate them up for lunch and had a few good rebounding games. Has Curry ever had a good rebounding or defensive game and a mediocre to less than stellar offensive game?

Actually I was still complaining, save the games he rebounded well. Care to explain the other dynamics of Curry?

i never said Curry was a defensive force did i? i've said time & time again all you guys who complain that Curry's not Shaq or Duncan need to get a grip cuz he's never going to be that all around C that's great on both sides of the ball... he is what he is, a dominant low post presence that is still improving... all the moaning & groaning you're doing about Curry is really ridiculous... just accept the fact that he'll never be a great defensive C & you'll sleep better at night... appreciate the fact that we finally have a guy who can give you 20-30 points out of the low post on any given night & try to put some defensive minded players around him to offset any of his deficiencies... it's alot harder to obtain a guy like Curry than it is some defensive minded role players to surround him with.

The moaning and groaning is warranted when he shuts down and doesn't try when he is not getting the ball fed to him, he is not an allstar, he had a nice stretch and should be sleeping to 8rbs 2blks a game

But eddy doesn't care unless eddy is scoring

Did I say you said he was a defensive force? I'm saying take out Curry's offensive qualities and what do you have left? Oh you just did. So is this the standard to use for every player on this team? Like is it ok to accpet Crawford is streaky? Is ok to accept Nate is a uncontrollable fireball with exceptional athletic ability? Is ok to accpet Jerome James will never live up to his contract?


Break down what we should accept as fans from each player please.

i don't have to when you obviously think you're qualified to make that judgement for us.

me personally, i'm happy w/the improvement i've seen out of Curry's game this season & i hope it continues... by no means do i expect him to stop maturing & improving as a player, so your assumption that i'm satisfied w/what we have in Curry right now is off base... i don't ever expect him to be a defensive presence down low, but i do expect him to learn how to remain focused in games on a more consistent basis (as he was demonstrating during that 11 game stretch to universal praise from Knick fans & media alike, other than you of course, since you know better than any of us do about what we should expect out of Eddy Curry)

IF curry scores and rebounds, that's all he really needs to do...........

One of the main reason I listed the Positive Ast/TO Ratio is because Curry currently has a 27gm streak going where his TO's outnumbered his assist. That's insane not one game has he produced more assist than TO's.


Here's another mind numbing stat


He's had 6 games this yr where his TO's were greater than his rebounds. Currently he has a 3gm streak going concerning this stat comparison.
