Islesfan - I simply don't agree with your statement that Eddy Curry is crap
Marbury - playing better defense when he fights through the knee pain
Jamal - too skinny to play defense but my oh my that young man has the courage to have the ball in his hands when the game is on the line. I don't hold that against him
Quentin - will dee up and fight through picks every once in a while, besides, given the nightly matchups... how many lockdown types are there at the three spot anyway?
Lee - can't decide whether he should add a skootch more muscle to become more Gus Johnson-like at the four, or slim down and become the fluid Billy Cunningham skill forward he played in high school
Curry - it must be an acquired taste
Jerome - designated scarecrow
Jared - hey, Noo Yawk ain't for everyone but he's still 6'11
Channing Frye - I miss Marcus Camby, damn that Scott Layden for trading away both Nene AND Mr Hartford. Then again, Frye is also 6'11 and intelligent enough to refine his game accordingly.
That's my story an' I'm stickin' to it
When I say Eddy is crap, I don't mean he's Big Snacks. He's a useful player but he's not even as good as someone as similarly one dimensional as Glenn Robinson. Would you have built a team around Robinson?
Marbury - so you're saying that he's broken down, with a ton of miles on his knees and almost washed up?
Jamal - too skinny to play defense??? Tell that to Michael Cooper. You're seriously reaching. He has the courage to take the last shot, too bad he doesn't have the consistency. He's more likely to kill you than not.
Q - I like Q but he's a 55-60 game a year guy now because of his back. He's a role player at this point in his career because he's fragile.
Lee - so you're admitting that Lee is a tweener. I like him and he's definitely a piece but there are issues as to position and defense.
Curry - he is what he is, a very one dimensional post player. He'll give you close to 20 points but nothing else. That has value and isn't nothing but it's not enough to suggest building around.
Jerome - he's a funny guy
Jared - he can't handle Noo Yawk and he's just not that good.
Frye - The guy is a bust. He might be intelligent but he doesn't have much desire.
And that be the way that it tis.
If it didn’t work in Phoenix with Nash and Stoutamire... it’s just not a winning formula. It’s an entertaining formula, but not a winning one. - Derek Harper talking about D'Antoni's System
