You guys don't know what he actually did with the trainers. He might have started off doing the pool work in order to allow his Calf tear to heal. After that they could easliy have had him doing all kinds of aerobic workouts, which is what seems most likely when you want someone to lose weight.

Also it's not true that Curry can't get up and down. Even when he was heavier he could still move. He should be even quicker now. He should be able to gain some stamina from not having to carry so much dead weight. Basically I see no merit to any of your arguments that Curry being back and much lighter isn't a big positive and that we shouldn't be glad to see him. Barring an injury, which can happen to anyone, I don't see a problem. Yeah he's got to do it, doesn't everyone? He's one of the most talented big men out there and he's on the team, so it's a good thing when he can take the floor for us again this season.

Nobody said it isn't a big positive. We said prove that he's really back by staying on the court.
Frankly, I don't know why the hell that is so offensive to you...

And don't start making excuses already for him. If he gets injured again, its not about it able to happen to anybody. Its about another fat Knick center with chronic injuries eating salary cap while not playing a game.

Well... that didn't take long, did it.

The pollyanna-ism in this thread makes me laugh.

To be clear Cosmic, I was never "insulted" at your statement.
I simply was disagreeing with the ethnic generalization.
I know lots of Greeks that would break your rule.
Maybe on average the tendency towards being "passionate" is there, dunno.

But once you started defending yourself, THEN you said a
whole bunch of questionable things, getting yourself into trouble.

Yeah, I know what you're saying...and I'll just leave it at that.

No disrespect ever meant. Oh, and, don't forget the pride when you speak of passion.

But seriously, I'm a jackass, I know it.

I'm going to...eh...hit the ole' dusty trail now.

If Eddy will be born in Sparta he will end up in this dump hole for defective children.
In US he end up being a millioner. No doubt the humanity is making a progress.

Very interesting observation. On the whole, I think humanity IS making some type of progress. I don't know. I guess we're closer to living in space, that's what I view as progress. Space exploration, habitation.

But locally, it seems like we're in a state of whatever is opposite of progress. Regress? Degress? Whatever.
