I love how you wrote all of that and still managed to say NOTHING of real significance with regard to the point of this thread. With regard to how you actually responded to my question, I think you oversimplied what Isiah is doing by making it sound like he's just sweet talking Curry and that's NOT what Isiah is really doing. That's fine if you think it makes your point sound more valid, but it's far from the truth. Making a guy play thru fatigue isn't just sweet talking the guy. Isiah is addressing the Curry issue from different angles and I think he's put a LOT of thought into it. That may not guarantee results but I think it's better than what I saw last year.

If I may critique your posts, as you did mine, I find your smug attitude and condescending tone in your last couple of posts to be very rude and I still haven't seen you make a real substantive point in regards to this thread in any of these recent posts. Try sticking to the subject matter and stop trying to be so clever.

'luva, we're on page three of this thread. Are you still reveling in amazement that Isiah let Curry play through a little fatigue? Fine, let us praise him.

Sheesh, I thought you had some deeper thing you were trying to convey.

Yeah that's it, just keep deflecting the discussion back to me. Forget about having an actual point to add to the conversation. It's better to take shots at my points and try to marginalize everything I write.

I had more to say than just the fact that Isiah kept him in the game for an entire qtr plus 2 mins of the 2nd. Even tho that is the thrust of the article at the top of this thread I also pointed out the other aspects of what Isiah is doing to try to help Curry. Curry obviously has a lot of flaws in his game, but one good starting point is to get him fit enough to play without fatiguing so that he can play without fouling as much.

'luva, I'm not trying to deflect anything. Whatever your points were I honestly missed them. I understand you think I'm trying to dog you and shortchange you. I'm not, we just seemed to be talking past each other. If you think your points were good ones please repost them so I can take a closer look.

Meanwhile, I want to take one more stab at what I was getting at. One of the things I'm most proud of the knicks for doing in recent years was actually getting below the cap which allowed them to acquire Childs, LJ and Houston in one off-season. Houston and LJ, an top of Ewing and Ward, formed the major part of our backbone that helped support the latter moves for Spree and Camby.

Spree and Camby remind me of the kind of speculative moves that Isiah makes. They are high risk/high reward players, and we got rewards, for a little while. They were kinda the faces of the flashy up-tempo offense that gave us success in '99 (and a little beyond) but it was really the character guys who held the team together. While Houston, Ewing, Herb, LJ and Ward were providing stability and leadership, Spree and Camby where getting under the skin of management and they wore out their welcome in not much time.

So when we look at some of the guys on this team, particularly the guys with questionable character, agendas, discipline and work ethics etc, I wonder if we have the backbone and stability to support them, or if they will just be short lived flash in the pan distractions that wear out their welcome in not much time.

That's why we can view the same situation so differently. You seem to think character issues are secondary to talent and coaching schemes while I feel they can undermine the best laid plans. To me it's now how Isiah is going to utilize Steph or exercise Curry, it's whether they have the mental fortitude to see to it that his endeavors pan out.
