playing in that system, he would play 30 mins or less a night. 1/2 the possessions, he wouldn't even be cross half court before a shot goes up.

I doubt that. Often Curry is the first guy down court for us.

DJ do you just hate anyone with a Chicago connection?
You hate Curry (Grew up and played in Chicago)
You hate Isiah (Grew up in Chicago)
You hate Jcraw (Played in Chicago)
You posted numerous threads to trade Qrich (grew up in Chicago).

and here's where you're jumping to conclusions. where criticism = hate.

i don't hate curry. but i am not going to ignore his absolute pathetic play on the other side of the half court line. his offense is dominating and he has proved me wrong on that end of the floor. with his emergence on offense, the team needs to be restructured big time if we're going to build around him offensively. but on the other end of the spectrum, defensively, it's pretty darn disgusting and requires a restructured team to make up for his deficiencies there. which means it's much tougher to build a team b/c you need to find two-way players at every position to make up for his utter lack of intimidation in the lane.

isiah - well yes, i don't like him as our gm.

jamal - i don't hate him. he just frustrates the hell out of me and i really don't know if he'll ever learn b/c right now, the guy's a rucker player. he's probably one of the worst decision makers with the ball in the league. and he's ALWAYS been like that except for 2 months of his career under lb.

quentin is my favorite player on the team. and he's one of the VERY few players i like on this team. he's a throwback guy that you don't have to keep subbing offense/defense with b/c he can play both. i also know he's playing the best ball of his career but has a back issue that never goes away. it's tough to rely on a guy like that, so that's why i think we should trade him.

i have no allegiences to ANYBODY on this team and could really care less if they're here or not, all i care about is that the team is being built to be a big time winner down the road. that's why you never see me make 15 millions posts trying to defend one particular player on this team. i criticize all of them. i hate steph and want him gone. 6 weeks of inspired all world play does not change my mind on that. but during these past 6 weeks, i freely say that he's playing like a STUD. a flat out stud.

the majority of my posts criticize the building of the team and there's only one guy that's responsible for that.

Amare has 9 games this season of 6 rebs or less is it because he is in bad shape and not trying?

Duncan has 8 games this season of 6 rebs or less is it because he is in bad shape and not trying?

Ben Wallace has 10 games of 6 rebs or less this season is it because he is in bad shape and not trying?

Elton Brand has 13 games of 6 rebs or less this season is it because he is in bad shape and not trying?

Lets keep your Curry bashing standard the same for everyone.

# of games with 3 rebounds or less:

Curry: 6
Duncan: 0
Ben: 2
Brand: 2
Amare: 4 (2 were early in the year where he played 10-11 minutes a game)

I mean just look at the rebounds per game:

Curry:    7.3
Amare:    9.1
Duncan:  10.4
Wallace: 10.1
Brand:    9.0

Curry is not in the class of these other guys. Hell even Jason Kidd is outrebounding Curry (8.3).

Camby went from being an average to bad rebounder to an elite one after that age ^^^

Course he didnt have a 40 pound turkey to carry around either

Curry's rebounding problem isnt technique though, its conditioning. Camby's skill improved. Under JVG he learned better fundamentals and with that wirey super long frame he became an elite rebounder. Curry's problem is he's fat and gassed so he mails it in on that end of the court.

If Curry can lose that weight I would say he could be a top 10 player in this league.

Watch Curry play when the opponent takes a shot. He never boxes out, just weakly sticks an arm out. I remember the first (or second) game against Boston, Gomes beat him to a ton of rebounds because Curry doesn't get his body on anyone.
