>>Hey Earl, what are you doing over here with these charity cases?

Just keeping my game sharp in the offseason homes.

I heard that charity started with the home team. Heck, SOMEBODY hasta champion the cause for positive Knicks vibes or else what you'd be left with is a bunch of doubters claiming the world is flat.

Besides, decent fun-lovin' cats like nixluva and BigBeast just need someone to keep the hyenas at bay once in a while

Damn it's good to read you rembee.

Hey, it’s cool Earl, so long as you know how to make your way home. I got lost for a bit after my absence until Chip put me on the path.

Some earnest, thoughtful folk here on this forum. Salt of the earth, god bless them. I might hang around awhile myself.

Uh-Oh

NYT Mafia?

You got that straw man to keep the crows away, Blue, or does he keep you warm at night?

You were the one who brought sweetney and writers into the conversation, so you obviously prefer to chew straw than Curry.

Sorry, but what does that even mean? You guys speak English here, or is this a board set up to help ESL students practice.

Specifically, I was referring to ESPN's John Hollinger (I believe) who wrote a piece evaluating the trade and predicted that Curry and Sweetney's production would be comparable. Point being, any self serving horse's behind can make the comparison, doesn't mean it makes any sense.

Comprende?

Note to self: this dude appears to be a high on volume, low on content kind of poster. Momma said, the louder they come, the less they have to say.

To chew straw rather than curry is to make use of the idiom to 'chew the fat,' which means to discuss. So you preferred to discuss your straw men (Sweetney and Hollinger) rather than stay in the point about Curry. When I took your bait and made a further point about Sweetney and expectations you accused me of bringing straw men into the conversation.

Not sure why staying on point is difficult for you, but I'll make another note of it.

Low on content, poor on comprehension, likes diversion, sassy but boring. Anything I should know about you?

First, who "chews" curry? Its a spice. And we should be over the lame Eddy "Curry" jokes. The guy isn't even Indian, Pakistani, or to the best of my knowledge Thai.

You throw a lot of "big words" in a sentence and think that makes this a quality retort. Poor on comprehension? You'll find that happens when people try to read posts from posters who can't put complete sentences together.

I'm not going to go back through the history more than once, it isn't worth repeating. But from what I can tell, this other fellow and I were about to have a perfectly civil discussion. He thought the fact that some yahoo posted a comparison between Zaza and Eddy meant that Eddy sucked. I posted an example I knew of a respectable writer's comparison greatly underestimating Curry's abilities (and overestimating the guy he was being compared to).

So, somehow, you thought it was germane to point out that some buddies of yours (great guys, I'm sure) thought Sweetney was the next Barkley. Some smart buddies you have, but completely off the point. And, more as a reference to the straw man comment, totally unverifiable and most probably made up to make whatever point you thought you were making.

But its water under the bridge, only important to our egos as posters on an insignificant chat forum, and totally irrelevant to the Knicks. I can't help but notice this is the subject you choose to take further, instead of the other strings you and I got tangled in, which would have required infinitely greater mental exertion on your part, and more effort to defend postions that (perhaps) have gone unchallenged here.

Well, its a new dawn here on ultimateknicks.com. You and your Momma may think you are hot stuff. But you're not.

mocking the moderators by insinuating after one flippant day on the board that you could do what they already do quite well, and should be paid for it.

You want to play Forum Police here, be my guest, but refrain from commenting on exchanges that don't concern you, you don't understand, and know nothing about.

Graci-ass.

I'm not even sure he's trying to conserve energy. The guy has had game where he logged some heavy minutes. Any guy his size that can log 50 mins, score 43 and nab 13 rebs isn't lazy. The guy logged 36 mpg in Dec., Jan. and Mar. 37 in Feb. and 35 mpg in Apr. In some of those games he had double figure rebs, but in too many of those games he had low single digit rebs. Those lulls are what he has to stay away from.
