Lets say we had a bad season, between 30-35 wins... Our chemestry was bad, lots of controversy, ect ect but Eddy Curry had a breakout season and avg 21ppg and 8rpg would you be happy? I think its a good question because as a knick fan if u could tell me that was gunna be the outcome of this season I might just be happy, I think eddy currys development is that crucial

I don't think Curry having a good year can make up for the whole team having a bad year. I think I get what you're saying though - if Curry were to shine it would suggest a brighter future for the Knicks.

21 and 8 is not asking a lot. That would just mean that he's getting more minutes than last year. I'd have to say that I wouldn't be happy with that. If Curry's better, but the team is still horrible, then that would mean that there are other problems that are just as bad.

If Curry has a breakout season, we win more than 35 games guaranteed (unless Marbury gets hurt again). I would not be happy if the chemistry is poor, even if Curry played well. This team needs to come together and start building some unity. IT is making chemistry his number 1 goal this year. If the team lacks chemistry at the end of a season in which the GM/Coach has made it the team's #1 goal, you cannot be happy with that because that signifies that the majority of this team cannot work together. Curry having a big year would be just more individualism on a team that needs to show teamwork more than individual raw talent. I, however, anticipate that the team's chemistry will grow this year. I think IT is the right guy to coach these Knicks.

if Curry went for 22/8, how would we lose 50 games? You have a center scoring high % points along with Franbury, Frye, Lee, Crawford, Nate, JJSkinny, Rose, etc (more depth than anyone in the NBA)

That would be bad I think because it means the rest of the team REALLY sucked.

I don't think we can win 30-35 and have bad chemistry.

That said- in the scenario outlined, I don't think I would be happy with Curry having a strong season- I'd rather have him do more of the same and have the other 14 players regain value.

Exactly. It'd be virtually impossible for Curry to have a year like that and for us to suck. Unless Curry was scoring 22 per on 40% shooting or something.

Eddie does well but that win total gets Isiah fired and Marbury gets more manhood.

The Oakland As in the seventies had great chemistry, everyone hated each other.. and they managed to win a bunch of games...

but this ain't baseball.

Winning is the best deodorant in the locker room and makes chemistry much easier.

The Knicks don't need to sing kuumbaya or ever like each other. Chemistry my azz. And no more freakin' prayer circles. If you wanna pray, pray in the tunnel or at your locker.

The Knicks need to hit the freakin' open man and bust their colective tails on defense. Eddy Curry needs the opportunity to learn how to play with more than three fouls.

Jeffries and Frye need to learn where the other likes to receive the ball and David Lee just needs to be David Lee. Nate needs to get in someone's grille, and agitate the hell outta Marbury.

Marbury needs to keep his head up and trust that someone else can take the big shot while Jamal needs to shuffle his feet and talk on defense.

I'd be overjoyed with that.

It ain't that deep.

No player is above the team. I'm sick of the way this team has performed the last 7 years, it's been pathetic. I think Fish is right too, if Curry posts what 21/8, I don't see how the Knicks could lose games and if they did lose games, it would mean the rest of the team was completely horrible.

Chemistry doesn't matter in baseball. It matters in basketball.
