Eddy Currys House Special
Rotation player
Some tough choices up there
For some reason I think right when hes at the end of his prime he will finally realize that hes built like a beast and that he wasted most of his career bein a soft p*ssy. I might be wrong but who knows. Based on what Ive seen to this point it appears as if he'll always be soft. I like the options though and I almost lied just so the poll results would make him look worse. I hope hes embarrassed by what Oakley said about him.
spot on. it makes no sense to have a legend like Ewing not working with our players and especially a center. Not rocket science.
Why is Ben Gordon being benched but Eddie Curry continues to start? Curry should be benched indefinitely. I'd consider putting him in the IR list so he can hit the gym and focus on defense. Right now that's what we need out of him.
On one hand it's unfair to Curry because he was told that he was the cornerstone of the franchise a year ago and once we got Randolph he is expected to do something else. Well some time life sucks and takes you out of your comfort zone. I don't think Thomas has enough positive reinforcement. Earlier in the season when Curry got is one block he acknowledged that he needed to do more 'of that'. He can be a good third scoring option for the Knicks but if not at this point I'd give James some minutes. Can it really be any worse?
We might get heat from others for sayin Jerome deserves more minutes but Im with you on that. People gonna get it twisted and assume that I think JJ is the savior but thats not the case. Its all about how much Eddy Curry sucks especially on the defensive end. His offensive ability is overrated like the Celtics and Dwayne Wade.
Im not sure if Isiah made the right comment about Eddy blockin that shot. I see both sides of it, you dont wanna hop on someones d*ck after 1 block but maybe thats the way Eddy works. Maybe if he was complimented more for the good that he does do he would do it more often. I would lean more in the other direction still, he needs a Charles Oakley type of figure to come in and be his "father".
yea but u have 2 realize something...13 minutes is all the brother can lastI agree with you,Doncris. I have been saying this for a long time now.Jerome James is not a good player, he sucks.But he's still a WAY better defender than Curry.For one, he doesn't let people dunk it on him or lay it up on him.He'll block your shot or foul you.James averages just 13mpg for his career, yet he averages 1 block a game.He deserves to play, cause I don't see anyone on the Knicks playing any defense.Our best shot blocker is Curry,at .5 per game.I'm not saying big minutes, but he deserves to play at least 10 minutes per game.
Given Curry's limitations on the boards, blocking shots and on defense, if they aren't going to make him one of the focal points of the offense, he shouldn't be playing at all.
Has anyone ever considered the possibility that Curry is AFRAID to work hard either during the off season or during the season because of his heart condition?
There's got be something going on in the back of his mind where's he worried that if he gives his all out effort, he might just collapse and die.
