when players with known patterns start showing improvement they usually compliment the coach for the help......how many knick players returned the compliment ?

I never want to see Malik on the court again unless he is passing out the Gatorade to players during timeouts.

His defense was nowhere to be found last year and in the post he thinks he is Hakeem the Dream only to be throwing up bricks.

all I have to say is that LB cant pass the ball to Malik in the post, that's the PGs job.

Wait a minute, so know now the PGs are not supposed to the run the plays LB was calling?

LB made Malik an offensive option because he knew he was not up to the task.

mostly I was posting just to show how unsubstantiated the original was. I mean, we all can be easily convinced that LB was calling plays for Malik all season long and the was cause for sabotage?

here it is again:
Malik Rose single handely sucked us into loses on more than one occasion. He was allowed to make a succesion of turnovers as he tried to display his offensive 'talents'. He was not yanked. LB sabotaged us. Curry was dominant in some games and then was sat for 20 minutes of game time. LB sabotaged, there is no question about that.

Substitue the first two words for Eddie Curry and you can say the same things, right?

Malik AVERAGED 15 minutes a game, so apparently he WAS yanked and limited by the coach. Malik only got the minutes he did because AD was traded and the Knicks had ZERO PF rebounding (outside of the SF play by Lee) and defense. Malik most likely went into the post cause he is a super active, always-wanting-to-get-involved guy, not cause plays were run for him. Also, besides Curry, who were the other post players for the Knicks?

Voila.

if Malik played so sparingly and Larry Brown had nothing to do with it, why did Malik miss three potential game-tying shots in thefinal minute over the first five games last year? did Marbury sneak Malik into the game when Larry wasn't looking? come on. Malik didn't play a ton of minutes, but it was WHEN he played. He also played the same ammount of TOTAL minutes that DLee did over the year and almost 400 total minutes more than Jackie Butler, neither of whom were ever injured. I just don't understand defending Brown for any reason.

I have no idea of the context of those 5 potential game-tying shots in the final minute of the first 5 games... but you would be hard pressed to convince me that LB set up plays to have Malik take those shots. Someone HAS to give him the ball. It's not too much of a stretch to say that Marbury (especially) has the option to turn to LB and say "I want the ball in my hands for the last shot." Malik is in the game for the missed shot rebound, not for the last shot.

Again, total minutes.... who was directing the defense and getting rebounds and showing the guys hustle and leadership and communicating on the court for the Knicks? Especially after AD was traded? MALIK. And that's the only reason he got minutes. He was there covering Curry's ass when he didn't have a clue (which is every minute he plays).

Burter plays Center for the Knicks, and sometimes PF. Curry was sh!t last year and Frye went down with an injury... so that's where his minutes came from. Lee played some PF and some SF. Let's see: Butler, Frye, AD, Malik, Jalen, Q, Woods, Lee. Those were the guys competing for minutes at the 3/4. Makes sense that a ROOKIE would get limited minutes there, no?

Thanks for that though.

Some Knicks under LB last season had great games followed by dnps. Thats not excusing EC totally but there were agendas at work with LB tht sure didnt help the case.

Yeah, but the problem is Curry never got a DNP. He was consistently the starting center, never pulled early (unless in foul trouble-which he himself is responsible for).

I can see where you can make a case like that for Frye, Lee, Nate, etc....Curry, IMO, is not one that has that argument because Larry really never yanked him around.

Never pulled early or yanked around? You have to be kidding me. I remember one game he started with 12 points on 5 shots with 5 rebs and 2 blocks and he was yanked for no reason. He was dominating and not tired at all. He sat on the bench for about 25 real time not game time minutes and by the time he got back he went from red hot to ice cold.

This is very accurate. Lb also never let him play through fouls even when the game was a fore-gone-conclusion and we were like 80 games under 500.

I remember the Philly when Curry put up 5/5. He got off to a slow start was just benched. LB never gave him a chance to fight through it.

The Indy game was a blow-out in our favor and the entire 3rd quarter was garbage time.

Hopefully, Isiah will let him play through fouls this yr.

Like I said, even if I give you that-which for the sake of argument I will give you-Curry had many games where he was horrible. That does not explain his bad games. He had 11 games under 5 and 5 plus his rebounding was very poor.

LB always had the philosophy of defend and rebound or you don't play. Nothing new. Curry had alot of points, not alot of boards. LB was in a teaching mode here, so I can understand why he did it. Do I agree with it-not really, but I understand why he did it.

That 11 number was not true.
Its hard to debate with people that make things up.
The number of games he had 5points and 5rebounds or less was 7 not 11 and in those (7)he was hurt in 2 of those games. So that brings it down to 5 games in my mind. One he played 5 minutes in and another 13 minutes in.

Which games did he have a hangnail? Which games did he have a tummy ache? Go look at a player like Ewing, Duncan, whoever...tell me how many 5 and 5 games they put up? Too good of a players? Ok, Try Jamal Magloire. A guy with 1/10th the potential of Curry-http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/players/3418/gamelog;_ylt=AuoIBObccIdV2q3JW3wagT6kvLYF-. Try Ilgauskis, another guy that has 1/10th Curry's potential-http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/players/3121/gamelog;_ylt=AmDtuqVhoWaAc4UkYebiTx2kvLYF-.

LB's fault? Here look at Curry's history-http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/players/3514/gamelog;_ylt=ArNo7qQGtwtT.l4Jjbpr1VikvLYF?year=2004
2004-2005- Curry didn't even sniff 10 rebounds from Feb 15th to when he stopped playing on March 28. He had 12 rebounds on Feb 15th. His high rebounds between Dec 19(he had 13 rebounds) and Feb 15th was 9(once) and 8 (once). That is in 2 MONTHS of solid play where he missed one game. Look at this-Nov 13 and 16 he had 10 and 11 rebounds, respectively. His next 2 games (Nov 17 and 19) he had 2 and 4. Nov 21 and 22 he had 11 and 9 rebounds respectively. His next two games 2 and 4(Nov 24th and 27th). Dec 1st he had 10 boards. Took him a week to grab over 5 again (9 on Dec. 8). He had another 9 on Dec 11, and then took another week (5, rebs., 6 rebs., 5 rebs., in his 3 consecutive games) before he grabbed 13 on Dec. 18th.

This is called a pattern. He is doing the exact same thing here. He did the exact same thing under LB. But when LB sat him for not rebounding like a center, now he is getting yanked around. He score well in all those games, though, I will give you that. At least he got his points.

You get called on posting false stats so now you try to shift the focus with more stats and insults? I dont think either game I mentioned he had a tummy ache nor a hang nail. As far as your new stats go I wont even look at them until I hear a valid explanation on why you posted stats that were not tru the first time around.
I LOVED how Curry just exploded in the 4th, speaking as a fan of the Raptors, Curry looked well, scary I think is the word. Or Shaq-like Curry: 19.1ppg-7.3rpg-58%fg

You call me on false facts, I post them-with links-, then you won't look at them and still call them false. OK. This may come as a surprise, but I really don't care if you look at the stats or not. You don't want to be well informed that's your problem not mine. I posted the stats and the links to them, so you can do whatever you want with that.

I know my stats are right. When it comes to insults-who did I insult? Curry? Sorry you are offended but once again I really don't care. All I hear about Curry is excuses as to why he can't perform. It gets old.

Either way, my stats are correct, never were false. It's your problem if you won't/can't defend yours.

Dude your own link showed that your 11 games under 5 points and 5 rebounds was bs. I dont have to defend your lies. The stats are in black and white!
He only had 5 games all season where he played and scored under 5 points. He had 3 others that he played and scored 5 points exactly. in 1 of those games he had 6 rebounds so that doesnt fit your scenario either.
So he had 5 games all season where he was under 5-5. You claimed 11. I called bs and I was right.
Then he had 2 games that he was 5-5 or under. so thats a total of 7 games at 5-5 or under. You claimed 11 games under 5-5.

I said he played 11 games where he didn't score 10 AND rebound 5. You are twisting saying well, he scored 5 points here so it shouldn't count. I say it should. Once again, no manipulation, just fact. You feel like making excuses for him, I don't.

And I never said he played bad. Not once. I said he plays like this every once in a while and then he follows it up with 5 points and 3 rebounds. It was argues it was all Brown's fault. I showed HARD stats that he also did it under Skiles.

How about giving him some accountability in this??

The flips side to the argument Tom, is that when Curry does bad it was because of LB. When he does good it's becausr Curry is just that good.

I haven't noticed anyone specifically blaming LB for Curry's bad games, but of course it is true that the "shifting criteria" critique applies to a whole range of arguments, not just those in favor of LB or against Curry. Regardless, one can't absolve one's own flaws by pointing out the same flaws in others.

I blame LB for a lot of things, but I won't blame him for Curry. Curry needs to improve his overall game. The time is now. He had a good game yesterday, but he is still lacking in defense and his ability to pass out of the post. Until those two things improve, he will never be more than a one dimensional scorer for us. I want him to be a franchise caliber center.

Thats shocking for a center. He should be averaging at least 4 assists per game, lol.

Oh...I see the typo, if you bothered to follow up-which you didn't-you'll see I counted games in which he was 10 and 5 not 5 and 5. Either way it really doesn't matter. My point still stands.

A center who's a scoring threat should get at least two assists a game and have abot a 1 to 2 (not closer to his 1 to 10 last year) assist/turnover ratio. The mere *threat* of being able to pass out of the double team makes a huge difference in the opponents' defensive approach. There's no reason not to double or tripple team Curry because you know he'll throw it away.

Eddy sure still doesn't know how to pass the ball. 0 assists and 8 turnovers so far.

At least 2 assists per game for a Center? Ok if you say so. How many real centers (not PF that sometimes play Center)in the NBA averaged at least 2 assists per games last season? 2? 3?
I LOVED how Curry just exploded in the 4th, speaking as a fan of the Raptors, Curry looked well, scary I think is the word. Or Shaq-like Curry: 19.1ppg-7.3rpg-58%fg

Curry shouldn't be allowed to drive the basketball like he deos. Isiah should stop that. He should only be allowed to shoot jump hooks if he gets good enough position. And he should work on shooting a 10-12 ft jumper when he faces up rather than tring to take his man off the dribble. Him being able to knock down that jumper will force his defender to try and press up and thats when driving will become alot easier.

Curry is also kind of a black hole. I don't think he is skilled enough though to back down a defender draw a double and kick it out. He needs to get the ball when the defense as already been broken down rather being the guy that breaks down the defense. I wish he was good enough to draw a double and kick out. That would be big. But I don't see him being that type of player. I see him as a player that should dominate the offenisve glass, and get a lot of pts off of his guards penititration. If he can get the 10-12ft jumper that would make him a consistant 20pt player if he could stay out of foul trouble.

I have watched Shaq play since his freshman yr at LSU. I've never seen Shaq take a jump shot. Curry is 300 lbs, no need for a jumper.

Heres a few things that could help Curry in the post: He needs to develop a righty and lefty baby hook. He needs to learn how to turn over his right shoulder and finish with his left instead of forcing everything with his right which causes him to charge when defenders over play his right hand.
He needs to improve freethrow shooting (I believe Curry was top 4 in the NBA in freethrow attempts) If he can get up to about 75% that would def increase his ppg. And last but not least, I don't remember ever seeing Curry pump fake. Everything he does is power. Pump faking would help his game in the post alot aswell.

I definately agree with this. Curry is too big to settle for jumpers...give me a baby hook out to about 10 feet for Curry and he will be near unguardable. Not only will he be fouled constantly the hook is a damn near unblockable shot normally. With as much space Curry creates, he would be just unstoppable.

Contrary to popular believe(not jabbing at you beast) I don't hate Curry at all. I just think he is lazy and has so much untapped potential that it should be against the law for him to waste it.
