Thanks Cosmic. I noticed that so many guys are trying to make jokes that they didn't respond to the video and just how explosive this guy is when he's in shape. I was angry with Curry when he simply couldn't get into shape and kept injurying himself, but he showed me something this time. He clearly worked hard this time, cuz he's a different person physically.

If this guy can find a way to fit in and flow with this offense he's gonna be a major help to this team. We have a gaping hole in the middle and he can step in and make a difference. I'm pulling for him to find success this time. We've got him for 2 years, so why not hope he plays great? I doubt he can convince teams he's over his demons in time to be traded. I think teams are gonna be skeptical this year and next, so we may have to get used to Eddy being here. I could be wrong, but if fans here can't get passed his issues why would a GM?

Dude, you're a piece of work.
Who's not "hoping"? Every Knick fan hopes that every Knick player can be well and contribute.
But I'm not going to "get passed his issues" till he proves he can.
I'm not going to jizz myself every time EC makes a comeback.

I'm a piece of work? YOu're the one ignoring the statements of many who are saying they're done with the guy and won't buy into this recent comeback. I'm simply addressing that stance, which I disagree with. Some are saying they'll wait and see before they believe it, which is fine, but what's the basis for this wait and see stance. When he's been in shape enough to move, he's been able to stay on the court and be a force.

I'm still waiting to hear from you why a healthy Curry that is actually in Shape is not something to be happy about? In his season with the Bulls when he was in shape, despite doing it the wrong way, the guy was playing well. With us the one time he was in good shape he played 81 games and was a force in the middle on offense. What we've seen isn't that he's a problem when he's in shape, but only when he's fat and overweight. Now he's in shape and we have a chance to see him be able to play in possibly the BEST shape we've ever seen him in. Yet many have poo poo'd the idea. There's more evidence that an in shape Curry will help us than there is that it will be a disappointment. I'm not saying it's a lock but the odds are in favor of him being able to help. Do you expect he'll be slower, not jump as high, not be able the catch the ball now that he's actually in better shape? What the hell is your point?

When did I ever say that an in-shape Curry is not something to be happy about?
All I said is I'm not going to get excited about more speculation about his getting on the court,
staying on the court, and being effective until he does just that.
I'm not "expecting" anything until I see it. Is that ok with you?

I'm glad he lost the weight cuz the mofo was looking like the alien fron the "To Serve man" episode of the twilight zone, lmao!!! (btw the alien appears just a few seconds into the vid)

Thanks, nix.

The one thing I will add is that Mike said the other day that if we use Eddy we will use him how Chicago did - rolling to the basket off of a pick for an easy dunk.

Now, THAT is music to ones ears. For THAT is about all Eddy is really good at. It's not good for 35 minutes a night but it's good for 20 or so per night. Come in, wreak some havoc, sit down before you give up more than you gave.

That is how Skiles used him. That his how Mike suggested he will use him. Now, get it done.

Thing is, as said, the guy hasn't played in 18 months, he hasn't played with anyone but Jeff/Lee/Nate, so it's a brand new team to him as well. Give him 10 games of 10-20 minutes each. No quick hooks. Leave him out there no matter what is going on. Let him get going.

We're 1-7 going on 1-8 tonight (would be a franchise WORST start for us. WOW). So, we have nothing to loose! NOTHING!

I"m not quite getting your point is all. What is there to wait and see in terms of his health? Clearly he's no longer fat!!! He just needs to get back to game shape and up to speed again at the NBA level. They didn't say anything about him still being injured. The questions have to do with how well he can get acclimated to this system. I think he's got the right talents to do well in this system. I've long held that he's better off the ball rather than trying to force it inside everytime down. He's unstoppable on the move and agile enough to make cutz and finish plays.

How many times do I have to say it?
"getting on the court, staying on the court, and being effective"
Let's just agree that you can see into the future, and I prefer to see it when it happens.

One side of me is saying:

What happens if the light has turned on for this guy? He finally realizes he's almost 7 feet tall and nimbler than most guys his size in the league so he should be dominating the boards, blocking shots etc. There aren't that many young promising big men in the league.

The other side is saying:

If you're someone who generally has a height and weight advantage night in and night out and you get outrebounded by Nate Robinson youse a beech. Once a beech always a beech. This guy gets another long term deal and he balloons back up and dogs it. He's not a competitor and doesn't really have passion for the game. He's just someone who was funnelled into basketball due to his physical gifts vs his love of the game. Trade this guy faster than you can say Jerome James.

Don't know, but at least, he will be the first rookie that does not need to add weight.

first one making 12 million dollars, too
