Awesome play. notcie how the game has reverted to a half court game with Marbury in...pace has slowed considerably.

Wow! Curry has pump-faked 3 times in the game, something I've been calling for him to do for the longest. Maybe he's finally learning. No matter how big you are, you can't over power everyone.

he's just bullying the weak-ass Celtics big men... he's ***** against legitimate competition... and that will never change

How many rebounds does Curry have as a benefit of playing in the middle of the zone and not having to move?

Good point joe

it's a strategy I wish they'd use more, seriously, I think it benefits the whole team.

Curry is focused tonight.

This is a Celtics team who, the last time they were at the Garden, their coach said they don't have a center and didn't know how to match up with us, so we go out and play small ball with them for 48 minutes, nullifying our only advantage.

I'm not gonna complain about it because it's a win win situation. But I want to go on record now that by him doing it this way it doesn't make him a good rebounder.

But it does benefit in several ways-
Curry doesn't have to expand energy boxong out or, um, jumping.
Curry doesn't have to think about ball trajectories

At the same time it was this same Celtic team that Curry got abused by last time we played them. Eddie looked like a joke last time we played them. Tonight he looks like a solid player.

Offensively, we are making them match up to us-notice no small ball. And when we did run we still maintained Frye on the court with Lee...no 4 guards.

Like I said, Eddy is expanding very little energy on defense and running. And he has enough size to kill the C's. Frye actually making them worry about him is another added bonus helping out Curry.

Feeling it.
"It was good," Curry said. "I killed Malik, Jerome. The usual suspects. It felt good."

He has no choice. Q might beat his face in with a Starbury1 shoe in his face.

Scott Skiles on Curry: "What we miss most from Eddy is just his ability to catch the ball by the basket and dunk it."

In other words, if you get him the ball next to the goal, he is able to dunk it. As for what else he brings to the table, we don't miss that at all.

It's called a zone. every team in the league uses it.
