    Re: 2006-2007 New York Knicks: Explosion or Implosion

    Yea, until Curry actually rebounds and blocks some shots (see: play some defense) he won't touch Dwight Howard.

    But, offensively, he seems to be moving along.

    He also looks like a very emotional guy, which can be good. Seeing him the past few games and last night, it looks like he actually believes no one can stop him. He isn't all the way there to Shaq-level, but he is getting close every game.

    Curry needs to know and realize that he is too big and quick for most centers in the league. I understand if he gets outsmarted by O'Neal, Dunan, or Ming, but he should be manhandling everyone else.

      36 & 9 for "Easy" Eddy last night.

      He's finally believing in himself (and not getting into early foul trouble). Surprise, surprise, the guards are actually looking for him in the post.

      I'm tipping my hat at this point. He made shots against the Bucks that just 2 weeks ago he was missing the same shots.

      Don't know how this season will turn out, but Eddy (no jinx) should see an All-Star berth (GASP!) this year.

      Wow

        So there's finally a Knicks game that I get on TV here, I get excited, only to turn it on and see the Knicks down 25 at home to the Celtics. Marbury just came in for Lee and everyone booed. At least it looks like Curry is still being aggressive.

          BTW, the Celtics announcers are unbearable to listen too.

            They are the biggest homers I have ever heard. They top the White Sox announcers.

            Did they complain to the refs yet when a bad call is made?

              They have complained about just about every foul or travel called on the Celtics. I think they are worse than the White Sox announcers.

              All I know is, after listening to them, I will never complain about the YES announcers being homers again.

                Don't dare say that to anyone in New England.

                Celtic fans LOVE Tommy Heinsohn. To speak ill of him is akin to committing murder.

                The truth is he's the biggest homer I've ever heard on television. The Celtics could never do wrong in his eyes. The only wrong is committed by the refs.

                Just be happy you didn't have to hear him blab his nonsense about Walter McCarty. "I LOVE WALTA!" Ugh.

                  PLaying pretty well tonight against the Jazz with only 8 players. Hopefully we can hang on.

                    dang that was a great game at the end. Deron williams was clutch, but marbury stole the show with a game winning layup.

                      Well, I'll miss watching some of these guys, but I refuse to watch anymore Knick games with Jamal Crawford playing.

                      I'll probably watch as long as he's not on the court and switch the channel once he steps back on.

                      He's frustrating to watch. It's not basketball to me when he's on the court putting up stupid shot after stupid shot. I'm done with watching him play.

                        I can't stand Chuckford. He needs to stop getting all these minutes, but with our injuries and suspensions he needs to play because we don't have anyone else. If they manage to get rid of him and FranBury in the next 2 years I might be able to watch them again.


                        BTW, I have Renaldo Balkman as a friend on Facebook, and the day after the brawl, he changed his status to say: "Renaldo Balkman is BRAWLINN!!"

                          David Lee was an animal, and Marbury has played really well the last few games.

                            Marbury's play is exactly why I will continue to defend his style of play.

                            The Knicks play well as a team when Marbury plays as a 20ppg, 9 ast guy. Everyone that wants him to pass more and stop being a shooter is just taking him out of his element and it affects the entire team.

                            Marbury is a scorer. Fans should be proud of his ability to drive the lane and hit some amazing layups over big men. Last night was an example of how Marbury's penetration creates open opportunities for big men waiting on the blocks. Lee could score 15 ppg just by hanging around the blocks and Curry is going to get an extra 6-10 ppg by doing the same. But, Marbury has to be Marbury. Not, Chauncey Billups, like most people apparently want him to be.

                                Knicks playing a great team game tonight vs. the Bobcats.

                                Crawford actually looking for his teammates.

                                Good game to watch.
