Or would you rather we let Marbury, Jcraw and Francis take 15-20 shots each?

If Curry rebounds and defends sure why not if he has it going. Otherwise the team should stick to the ball movement offense and take advantage of mismatches. Wether fans realize this Curry's touches appear to throw the offense out of balance because he rarely passes out of the post. You'll have the backcourt just standing there once everyone clears through for him, waiting for him to either bulldoze his man over, miss a gimmie, or make a strong decent move and score. I notice if he gets a few touches in a row and never pass, the other players tend to get impatient and won't feed him again for a while. I personally don't care for the blackhole, lazy defending, no rebounding frontrunnin, slob.

i love clyde as an announcer- his best recurring bits of advice are to not leave your feet when you pass (marbs and francis do it like every time they give up the ball) and to reward the big man after the defensive play- block or power rebound or whatever. our guards should listen to clyde. make curry earn his touches, reward him for work at the other end. that goes for frye too when he gets back, and even JJ- they seem to be working harder than curry on D so give them a chance the other way too.

The gaurds are in a ctach 22 because Zeke publically stated that Curry is the 1rst 2nd and 3rd scoring option. Which means he is to get the ball primarily. My problem is, Curry doesn't show the same kind of tenacity on defense as he at times does on offense. He doesn't really deserve touches but due to his overall high % game, he's going to get them. I find it interesting that Curry throughout his career has been high % overall but the Bulls left his Fat Azz on the bench plenty of games because the Bulls play defense and Curry doesn't.

Hell no that fat azz bumb is a fat azz and he is costing the team TY thomas and GREG ODEN.... plus a title already. Forget Fat Azz, make him do jumping jacks and run around the court before we throw him the ball!!!!!!!!!!!! Because that is they way it is, np team feeds the post to get there big men going and they always take away touches for being a Fat azz Fat-Azz................Fat!!!!!!!

I'd attack the paint, but not exactly run it through Eddy. If you want to get the big man involved, have one of the guards penetrate into the paint and dish it off to Eddy in stride.

4 straight 20 plus point games for Curry! SWAP THIS!

Curry and Jcraw came up huge in the 4th. Mabrs, Lee, Francis and Qrich all played well! We win.
Oh on a side note Curry is setting like 20-40 picks a game. Thats a huge number and its working! 7-12 for 24 points!

Keep attacking the rim!

I like the way Curry was utilized much better tonight. They ran the pick and roll got Curry moving toward the basket face-first and then he is a much more effective player. Much better body control, much better understanding of how to score.

He still will get some offensive fouls, but not the dumb ones he gets when he is posting and he actually is able to adjust his body when the defensive player is in front of him when he is striding at the basket.

oohah

Good luck Mike D'Antoni, 'cause you ain't never seen nothing like this before!

you look at that fourth qtr and they didnt really feed the post. What the guards did was attack the rim and dump it to Curry when the defense collapsed. Crawford did it twice, Francis did it once. If Eddie can do anything its finish around the basket. Too bad he's fat, several of those layups should have been dunks, but he cant get off the damn ground

I think IT is starting to learn what his players can and cannot do. The pick and roll play seems to one that Curry and Frye (once he gets back) can excel in. Hopefully, we will do more of that in the future. Curry looks great rolling to the basket. He looks very average trying to post up, and he looks terrible trying to pass out of the post. IT has realized that if he is going to make Curry the focus of the offense, he has to get him the ball moving toward the basket. The guy definitely knows how to finish (although as Fishmike said, he should dunk more).
Trust the Process

tru.

but i was talking more in what fish was saying. he is definitely benefitting from our guard penetration like nazr was with steph 2 years ago. eddy's just more athletic and bigger than nazr, hence the "roids" comment.

isiah is definitely using eddy's strengths and limiting his weaknesses (i.e. dump it down and let him operate).

It was a combination. Curry has scored a ton of points in the last 4 games posting up, spinning, drop stepping, and going to the left hand. Thats whats helping open the perimeter. The other plays are coming off Curry setting 30-40 picks a game. Forcing other teams to commit just like they force us to commit.
