this is the one I would make tonight. I would start Curry and Lee together. I think Curry is a better offensive player than Randolph and more efficient. Lee can cover up Curry weakeness in rebounding. Any thoughts?

well, with dwight howard, it makes sense that eddy starts but it's still surprising isiah would pick eddy over zach but zach didn't cost two #1's either...

So I guess Zach is the one heading to the bench?

I wouldn't, but whatever. Curry might be happy with Zach gone but he'll go back to taking games off soon. He's the Tim Thomas of the center position, he'll only play hard on special occasions.

LOL! So we start Curry instead of Randolph to "stop" Howard?? The one and only reason I think he is doing so is because he wants to increase Eddy's trade value. That being said it might work... because nothing was working so far for us.

this could be eddy's make or break. if eddy continues to struggle, he could get traded very soon.

Zach is getting the shaft always a model citizen, great teammate, unselfish and a winner. What a travesty

Situation is simple to me. Portland stunk with Zach get rid of him they are playing great team ball. Curry plays offense at a all star level without Zach last year. Knicks sucked last year but competed, bring in Zach and Curry is awful and the team doesnt compete.

That's really more of a team problem than just Zach. While I agree that Zach's history in Portland hasn't been good, the fact remains that this team has very few team players and didn't play much team ball before Zach was here. Zach is a bad fit, but I don't blame Zach for that.

The thought that Curry played well last year is a myth. He was force fed the ball and hit some shots. Past that he did nothing. I suspect he also hurt the team on offense with his terrible rebounding, terrible selfishness of almost never passing. He was a black hole in his own right. At least Zach makes passes (usually around 2+ assists a game to Curry's .3-.8 in the last three years). Curry doesn't even look for teammates once he gets the ball.

This is just a bad mish mosh of players, though. No single player is fully to blame. They all are partially to blame.

Side note: I think bitty is in lurve with Zach.

I think it just boils down to whose been playing better because Lee is starting to find some success with Randolph. So I think if him and Randolph find more minutes with one another they both will put up consisent numbers.

And here I thought I was being subtle
