>>The pressure is on these guys to produce without excuse.
No one is suggesting any excuses. I'm just wondering who died and made you boss to set the bar at 20 and 10 to make Curry legit?
So, now Frye MUST play well immediately as well?
Why not expect Rookie of The Year from him, just to make it fair?
>>We made a HIGh draft pick and spent a lot of money on two guys who--in my book dont play mean. So if they dont have that innate will/intensity in them, they have to make it up with solid fundamentals and effort.
You talk as if YOU are the person signing his checks
My point is simple and fundamental - Can't you chill until Curry has played ONE freakin' game as Knick before you set him up to fail under the weight of your arbitrary bleatings about his immediate performance?
I'm certain you will derive your share of pleasure in booing Curry the moment he has a sub-par performance or does not play "mean", whatever that means.
The Knicks are a work in progress and so far I could not be more satisfied with the EFFORT and FUNDAMENTALS described by the President in balancing the composition of the roster.
Where there were NO centers ( or players over 6.9) there are suddenly three. There are athletic yoots where there were aging role players.
There is no Bruno Sundov, Eric Chenowith or Travis Knight.
I find the possibilities positively exhilirating and choose NOT to hurl veiled threats and stereotypes of intelligence at Curry, or anyone else who wears the orange and blue, before the season even starts
I trust Larry Brown will find the right buttons to push
I trust Isiah will KEEP working "hard" to make the team better right up to the trading deadline... and beyond.
(Bynum is in LA, get over it)
It's about T E A M
It ain't that deep.
Remember it's the FANS who ultimately flip the bill, kabeesh? without fans, there are no players or owners.
I like putting reasonable expectations and challenges on players--why is something like 20-8 out of Curry and 12-7 out of Frye unreasonable? Do the math on Curry, with 35 minutes of play he can do it, in fact with more determination, he can be 20-10-2 in 36-37 minutes. Frye to me should be a 12-13-7 player. I want the players to succeed. The way you are reading my posts are all wrong. Im much more of an analytical fan who has an in depth serious knowledge of the game. Im not a rah-rah fan, I like to tell it like it is. Saying stuff like its not my money relly is an insult, especially since I have supported the team as a long term ticket holder and now because of health problems, my patronage is from the TV, dedicated 31-32 years of my 37 year old life as a serious fan who barely if ever misses a game, who playee the game through college, who played and grew up in Brooklyn--there isnt a bigger Knick fan than me--its just that I dont watch with rose-colored glasses. I think you can respect that.
