Forget logic or egos. This is a wave the magic wand and it happens question. If you could fix one of these which one would translate into the Knicks playing better ball?
Curry losing 30 pounds
no more shake and bake 20 footers from Jamal
Lee in the SL next to Curry, and Channing the first scoring option off the bench
Replacing JJSkinny's minutes with Balkman, Mardy, fishmike or misterearl

Curry losing 30 (or even 20). I think he could reach his potential then, be a force on both ends of the court, and maybe even be a franchise player.
Imagine if he was in this shape:

I think if Crawford plays under control, at a significantly higher percentage, the impact would be huge. Curry is already giving us so much I'd rather wave a magic wand to make one of our most frustrating players into an assassin. Balkman playing more wouldn't be bad either. I think it will happen in time.

you are the only one i know of that keeps harping that curry is so much overweight. where do you get this from? you say it so its fact?
fishmike 9/27/2024 11:00 PM Ug I hate this. The idea of Towns is great until you see what a pussy he is. Jules is a dog. DD was a flamethrower locked up cheap for 3 more years. First Leon move I hate

Look at the picture of Shaq there. Do you not think Curry would be a better player if he were in that shape? Let's see how the voting goes on this poll. If people don't vote for option #1, I guess you're right and I'm wrong.

1)Jared Jeffries off the Bench
2)Lee in the starting lineup
3)Curry loses weight
4)Jamal shoots less

JJ Skinny is the one who needs the 30 extra pounds.

David Lee receiving 37 minutes per game is fine by me

Jamal has the sweetest crossover move in the league, but he needs to use it to set up his drives with 10 extra pounds

Channing Frye will develop the details of his fundamentally-sound game gradually. I look forward to watching him in orange and blue at the ripe old age of 25.

fishmike can have my minutes, so long as he averages 14 rebounds... I mean... entertaining posts per game.

I choose Eddy losing 30 pounds.

I really think Eddy would move to the next level of superstardom if he lost that weight. He would get up the court faster, he would be quicker with his post moves and he would be quicker with his defense as well as having more energy. I think Eddy becomes a true superstar if he loses that weight.

I chose JJ, but now i think that you guys are right. Curry in great shape would be awesome.

I chose Jamal. When he's playing well, we don't lose, and normally when he plays well, Eddie will get easy baskets anyway, whether he's 30 lbs over or underweights. The guy has the talent to be a star, but the head of a friggin' Ox most of the time. If he learned how to play smart and selected his scoring opportunities, more wisely, then we'd be winning the Atlantic well above .500.

It all depends. If Crawford stopping the shake and bake means that he is an effiecent player than I don't know. That would be absolutly HUGE. I mean our record when Crawford plays well usually is very very good. But if Curry losing 30pds equates to him being dominant on offense, strong rebounder, and good intimidater. Than I would take that over anything else.

If Curry losing 30pds doesn't equate to him being better defensivly and rebounding wise. Then I would take Crawford being an effiecent player. As he could be an allstar, take over games, hit clutch shots, and open everything up for Curry,Lee, & Frye. Inside & perimeter game of Curry & Crawford would kill teams. Its no coinsidence that when they were playing at a high level after the brawl we were beating teams like Bulls & Pistons.

In the 2 games that we beat Chi & Detroit

Crawford averaged 29pts on 52%fg shooting & 45%3pt shooting.
Curry averaged 29pts on 73%fg shooting. 8rebs

The best plan for Crawford is what DJ & Thegame brought up. Have him in constant motion comming of screens, double screens, curls, back doors, and make sure he doesn't fade away. And set up alley oops for Curry off it. Nate should do the same thing when he is in.

To add frye to the mix. He and Marbury should be working the pick and pop some. While Marbury & Lee work pick and roll a lesser extent Jefferies unless he picks it up. Richardson can be spot up, and post up when he got a smaller guy on him. Like a Korver. Balkman when he plays is fast break and hustle points.

I just wish the knicks would come in with a better game plan. When they do the knicks are bad ass. Remember Seattle?

I'm still fizzlin over the nets game. The knicks totally did not come in with a plan to win. They can't keep turning it on when the game is tight. Its great they can do that but they have to have a game plan where they punish the opposing team.

I don't think curry needs to lose any weight. he needs to get in better shape but curry's whole game is size and power. Its amazing that he can move so well and be so fat looking. He's gotta work harder in the offseason. This is basketball guys, not Mr. Olympia.

lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.

Curry losing 30 lbs...
All the others can be fixed with a simple coaching change.
