I cant believe Curry got the start...however the team is playing D tonight.

The problem with Isiah is he didnt make changes to the starting lineup that he should of done awhile ago because he thinks way too much like a GM when heshould be thinking like a coach. Any coach who didnt have to defend their signings/moves would have taken Curry out of the starting lineup ages ago.

 

[true 3 blue]

this has been a great 1st half*

Q.. !

Look at how much better we are without E__y Curry.

We still suck, but we're much better without him.

 

[flatbushfiyah23]

Not gonna get too hype over one half....lets see them do this for an entire 48 minutes!

 

[true 3 blue]

we'll see what the beginning of the 3rd quarter looks like

Jared Jeffries on Dwight Howard: If that _ pushes me one more time I'm swinging on him.
Dwight Howard: *Chuckles*

How's the game lookin? This game aint televised down here

damn Brighthouse Cable

 

[harlemtothebronx]

Let me get this straight.

You play a guy 2 minutes all game... then you start him in the 4th and make him the #1 option on offense?

Isiah is indeed an idiot.

 

[flatbushfiyah23]

^IDK about all that son...the Knicks were a perimeter team all night...I think he was trying to establish something down low late in the game. Isiah can ecriticized for starting Curry in the game but I can't knock him for trying to establish some scoring down low. The Knicks hustled tonight but they were toomuch of a perimeter team all night long and they have no inside presence. The dilemma is the guys who can score inside (Curry and Randolph) play absolutely nodefense.


Why not give Morris a shot out there?! At this point why not? Lets see what the big man can do....his offensive game is not bad and I am sure he would give theeffort on the defensive end.

Putting Curry in at the start of the 4th while we were down by 3 was a bad idea. I can see if we were up, but we were trailing (down 3 points on the road islike 6-8 points imo). Please don't start or play this guy unless we ultimately have to.

 

[diceloveme]

Another Loss...great

 

[eddiehouse5]

as long as we play no defense, it doesn't matter who plays. we're not going to win.

how many open shots did the magic get tonight? we need to stay on our man and stop cheating the lanes.

Yeah, but how smart is it to try to establish a low post game with a guy who you kept out all game? He sat him after 2 minutes... then he wants to depend onhim in the 4th? Why not Zach.

Yo I think we are nit picking on the Curry starting the fourth! That did not change the game bottom line is we took too many jumpshots this game...welived by the jumpshot and we eventually died by the jumpshot.

Almost prophetic.

Man, I don't know anymore.

I understand dumb@$$@ Zeke starting Curry b/c son's confidence is [B.I.G] fragilEE [/B.I.G]. And I agree that he's the only true post threat. But wow,what else in the world is Isiah gonna do??

 

[mez 0ne]

...and I thought they had a shot at .500 before the season began.

SMH @ me.

I think he wanted to rest Zach for the stretch....I think that was his logic. I know we all hate Curry but I do not think that move cost us the game atall.
Not defending Isiah but I agree with Shuges....what is Isiah going to do? Hes basically #%$+#@...he needs an inside presence but his big men arehorrid defenders. Not playing his bigs who cant play defense turns us into a jump shooting team and we are not good enough offensively to win games like thatwith the talent we have on the floor. So what we will get with this group is a team who plays scrappy defenes but will be worn out by bigger teams by the endof the game.

 

[allen3xis]

keep losing

 

[bullsrepeat3peat]

^ you a Sixers fan? We'll trade Curry for Dalembert......

 

[true 3 blue]

no he isnt a sixers fan, he means keep losing in advance for a lottery pick
