What is he getting better at every month? His defense and rebounding are still just as bad as they were in November.

December, Jan and Feb. Only 3 months. Did you think you would you have seen threads about Curry in the all star game in November? The dominant force he has become on offense is huge. Why not give him some more time to start D and rebounding? I mean, its only been 3 months since November.

there was one play that stuck out in my head from last night:

jameer drives to the hoop, and eddy, instead of stepping up to challenge, stepped AWAY from him and looked to box out. he could've easily just stepped up and made the shot hard for jameer. instead, he shied away and nelson went in for an easy layup.

there was another drive, i think it was jameer or hedo, where eddy actually jumped BACK on the layup attempt.

the guy has no clue. i mean absolutely no clue. you can go to the local ymca and you'll see guys that know how to play defense or at least attempt to. he makes no attempt and he has nba coaches around him 24/7.

his post offense tho, is downright dominating. but his total absence on the other end of the court makes it very difficult for us to build a team since we need a MAJOR piece at the PF spot. not an OK one, but a MAJOR one.

Golden Boy DLee also did the same thing.

Average rebounding in Nov - 6.47
Average rebounding in Feb - 7.5

God I love it when you people are right.

How about critiquing him off his improvement from last season rather than making something up?

7.5 is still pretty bad. Curry was an overall bad player in the month of November anyway. Even Nixluva says he's forgotten about that month.

If you want to base your opinion of Curry on hard stats, be my guest, stats never tell the whole story and Curry is still lax on both the defensive and rebounding ends of the game.

Yea, how dare i base my opinion on facts rather than assumption. Is Curry not getting better? Curry may be in his 6th year, but what did Chicago really do for him? What did LB do for him? Isiah has been the only coach to get him to improve and work on his body/game and that has only been going on for less than a season. I understand this is year 6, but he was seriously stunted by Chicago.

Hey Jay, if you want to get technical, Currys Rebounds per Minute are actually worse now than they were in November.

Nov-.21
Feb-.206

No ones making anything up.

God I love when you people are right.

Who said anything about rebounds per minute.

See, month. Your words, not mine. Eh, but what can you would expect from someone who based their original post off of assumptions and was proven wrong.

That was a pathetic attempt at rebutting my point. So you're telling me that if Curry had played 3minutes in November and grabbed 0 rebounds and then this month he played 20minutes and grabbed 1 rebound that he was getting better because he got a rebound this time around? Please.

You just won't own up to the fact that Curry's getting 7.5 rebounds this month, but it's also he's playing 36.4minutes a night compared to playing 30.6minutes a night and grabbing 6.5 rebounds in November.

Yeah, he's really gotten better.

I was just rebutting your original post, which was obviously wrong. You are bringing in all these other dimensions that were not in your original post or argument. Yes Curry is playing more, but thats because he is improving both in his game and conditioning. Just based off your example that he plays 6 more minutes a night supports this.

How was my original post wrong? You still havent provided proof. Sure you said he's getting better at rebounding and sure he's averaging 7.5 compared to 6.5 but its because he's playing more minutes. As I said earlier, he's actually grabbing less rebounds per minute this month than he did in November. How is that improvement?

Sure Eddys playing more minutes and based on strict numbers it supports that he's "improved" but he's playing on only one end of the court. His rebounds and blocks per minute are still putrid and worse than the first month of the season, which does not support your point at all.

If you want to grasp at straws fine, it's not my place to tell you not to, but I for one certainly will not.
