My problem is he is hasn't even played well for a full half of a season let alone a full season. Build some cred before you pull stuff like this. I understand his loyalty to Isiah, but this is they type of selfishness that the young guys are learning. This is what happens when young players see that after whining about and quitting on the coach the coach gets fired and the players get what they want. Now you have a team of guys who think they can pull stuff like that and get what they want. This team is just starting to play well. Apparently shutting up and letting their playing do the talking (and if they play well, Isiah gets to keep his job anyway) escapes these guys.
Joe, they asked him to comment on it! The dude misspoke. You are
confusing his lack of media skills for
selfishness and that is stemming from something more than just disappointment!
And Silver, seriously, stop telling me what I think. It is really getting old and a bit annoying. You seem to think I have this vendetta against Curry and I don't. Do go back and read my threads about buying into Curry during that 10 game 20 point streak. I am loving the way Curry's playing. He is even rebounding well (now if he could just block a shot our two-which at his size he should be able to block a shot a game by accident).
I'm not trying to tell you anything more than how it sounds. You need to interpret it differently if its bothering you so much. Honestly, I'm going to continue doing what I am doing. Go over my posts and you will rarely find me taking shots at people that post here. I stick to basketball. This is the first season I have started commenting on what newspapers say about pregame and post game. You are the one that is telling us what to think. I remember your threads early on in the season about Isiah's quotes to the media. It obviously annoys you so trust me, I am not trying to tell you what you think, I am telling you what it sounds like to me. You are more than welcome to ignore my posts instead of questioning my character.
As for getting on the player-I haven't been on the players in a while. However when they do something stupid-such as this-that embarasses the organization, and make it look foolish, I have a right to get annoyed and point out how absolutely stupid the action is.
You have the right to do whatever you want and I will reply whenever I want.
You were one of the biggest guys that complained about Larry airing his gripes in the media.
This is effing bullcrap. I was a Larry guy until he abandoned the team this summer. I never once complained about him last year. My problems were never with what he said, they were always with how he played the wrong people and forced the wrong trades. If you find a post of mine from last year knocking Larry's quotes, I will back off everything you say on this thread. Get it right before calling me out next time.
But it's ok for Curry to come out into the media-whether he was only anwering a question or not- and say he only cares about the Knicks if Isiah is here? You're ok with that?
His problem is answering questions. I think he misspoke. I don't think he was trying to say what you just said. I don't want murder him for not being media savvy.
P.S.-Dolan needs to seriously consider taking a day a week and offering some of these guys on the team (GM included) a "how to handle the press" pr class.
yes but do you think anyone can outsmart the new york media? You are still going to get the same articles unless you stonewall them like Derek Jeter does. And its not easy being Derek Jeter.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
