^boo, Q wasn't brought in to jack up three's. When he was traded all the talk was about how much ELSE he can do and will do in NY--especially show off his post game. We need his outside shooting now but he wasn't brought in for that main reason.

I think the Knicks are trying to establish Curry first in the post but will eventually run some sets for Q down low. It takes time.

Q has to learn when to shoot outside and when to move his game towards the rim.

His D has been silently remarkable. More positional than lockdown.

Allan Houston got paid 100 of millons of dollars for his jumper. Q is getting a lot less for his services so the slack should be cut up some. 7-10 from three point range has me giddy like kids on christmas I'm sorry guys call me stupid or optimistic, but I feel the best is yet to come

Q is finding his role. He will be a valuable part to this team. He can't guard the J-Rich's of the league, but few can. Heck, look what GSW did to Chicago last night. They destroyed them with JRich leading the charge. Guys like Pierce, Ricky Davis, JRich will give this team lots of problems, but against everyone else, Q will be very good.

Posted by McK1:

guys like pierce = 90% of the starting 3's in the Eastern Conference.

Sorry, that's a ridiculous statement. Pierce is one of the best SF in the game.

Hey man, if they don't want him I'll take him.

Personally I like Q. But my point is that he was not brought here to be Allan Houston. Just because he shoots 7 for his last 10 does not mean he is getting the job done because he's not. But like most people I can put the criticism aside and say I'm patient and confident he will be better.

I can criticize someone without hating them.

There have been a few times when he drove to the basket real swiftly and impressively, I wanted to see a lot more than that. I was more impressed with that than his "Nasty" post ups, which the few times he has done that, he's looked real soft. But then again, there were a few times when he turned the ball over when driving. His strengths are NOT creating his own shot. He has been doing a pretty good job rebounding while he's out there though.

Criticize? That's what you call it?

You're saying that you are allowed to ignore his hamstring injury and find fault in his game, then when he starts to shoot light's out in back to back games, you say he wasn't brought in to do that (how do you know?).

Dude, hate to say it, he was brought in to hit open jumpers. If they are 3's, who cares.

Once we start playing shaq and other dominant big men that will keep curry out the paint, then he'll post up, but he's not posting up so Bippity10 on UltimateKnicks can stop hating on him.

Have you been watching the games?

Example:
Crawford went from bench role player, to starter, to sixth man in 7 games. Now he's flourishing.

Oh, I get it, Q should have been posting up people on his own, ignoring the offensive sets that are called each time down the floor.

Give me a break.

Finding fault for fault's sake is one thing, but ignoring the obvious is just silly.

He's coming out of his slump, he's hitting his open shots and his defense is getting better and better. His rebounding has been solid the entire time (more than TT ever gave us) and he's playing a good overall game.

We drafted Channing (everyone keeps saying Center, but if he is indeed a PF, then that's what Zeke saw in him) so Kurt could definitely have been shown the door.

We raped the suns.

Q is playing well, and I've already forgotten about Houston.

you should too.
