LMFAO HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....*catch breath*....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

That's the thing though...he's not, and never has been a true #1 option. It was something that was forced on him in NY. He was the best/most capable #1 option on those teams, so naturally he had to take on that burden. I don't think it's something you can necessarily fault him for. I think that goes along with his new role. When you're not the #1 guy, things don't have to be as forced. And when you have more talent and weapons, defenses are generally going to give you some shots that you wouldn't have as that #1 guy. But generally speaking, I don't think being on the bench has humbled him on Atlanta. He still plays with the same style, and is still taking pretty much any shot he wants without fear of being in the doghouse. I agree he is a ballhawk, but I really don't think his defense is so bad that it will make or break a team. Their Drtg as a team actually remained the same from the year before they acquired him and last season, while their offensive rating went from being the 10th best in the league to 2nd, with Crawford being a huge reason for that. I'm of the belief that when you have as much talent and skill as Crawford has, you certainly have a place on a great, even championship level team. The issue is finding that certain niche, and I think the situation Crawford is in on the Hawks is the perfect situation for him.,

They miss him because... 1) He was exciting to watch. 2) He played hard. 3) Even if he was inefficient and forced into a role his style of play is not suited for, he still was the best player on those Knick teams and gave the fans the only memorable moments of that era. You're looking at it from an NBA analyst POV as opposed to a fan. Crawford is extremely fun to watch, period. Also, Crawford coming off the bench in Atlanta doesn't humble him. If anything, it enables him to have even more freedom to pull the trigger on any shot he likes. Last season, per 36min he averaged more shot attempts than in ANY season with NY. It just so happens he has more help to take some defensive pressure off him, and he doesn't have to do as much heavy lifting in the passing/playmaking department. And he is not a cancer on either end...just because he isn't a great defensive player doesn't mean he's a cancer. I would agree that it is one of the primary reasons that his game is best suited for the bench, though, along with the nature of his offensive game (which is instant offense).

Go find the nearest pencil sharpener, lube up the hole real nice, and go wild. I always like Durex condoms, as thin as you can find 'em. Currently, because they were handing 'em out for free at my school, I got a buncha Lifestyles Assorted Colors condoms. They're ok.

Damn Miami scored 69pts in the 1st half. Wade's got 22pts, Bron has 9 assists, and they have a 16pt lead. Oh, and Beasley got taken out of the game after he fell really hard on his hip driving to the hoop.

Eh, I've seen much worse pretty much every year at Nets games Back in like 2000 with Keith Van Horn and Kery Kittles on a space ship...oh the memories. Speaking of the Nets intro, this year they actually have a similar intro to the Heat's. They are dressed up, coming out of limo's to a red carpet with fans trying to grab at them, etc... Me and my dad just looked at each other with sarcastic smiles and laughed lol.

I think Memphis would be a great suitor. They have Randolph's huge $17M expiring contract which would definitely be enticing to the Hawks, and Smith would really fit in with that team and give them some much needed defense at the PF position. To make the deal work a third party might need to be involved, but the foundation of that deal would really benefit both teams IMO.

Purple drank ain't Robotussin, it's Codeine and Promethazine....

Real Deal is right. Unless you have a legit #1 scoring option/guy that can attract double teams and consistently make plays for others, you are getting nowhere in this league. Balance and strong chemistry is also very important, but without that #1 guy, the ceiling for a team like that is 7th-8th seed tops, which is almost like purgatory (not good enough to get past the first round, and not bad enough to get a top 5 draft pick).

Dagger. EDIT: Spoke too soon.

Tuned into this game at the start of the 4th quarter, and I'm really pissed I watched MNF over the first 3 quarters. Evans is killing it, the Sacramento crowd is getting load and the teams are playing their hearts out...all you can ask for from two (likely) lottery teams. That last sequence with Evans making the pass from his knees to Casspi to Cousins was sick.

<_< Codeine is to opiates what schwag is to marijuana...

The smiley in his post when he posted that first Curry video should have been your cue it was a joke. When you asked for a video more recent, you showed you actually did not know he could dunk nowadays, or were just being a douche. I'm assuming the latter. But now you're just being difficult...

They didn't appear to be protecting him. And the douche part is when you said, "Do you have a video more recent than 2007?" which, to answer the post where you quoted me, is where you "appeared" to actually not know Curry could dunk as a near 7ftr, or were just being a douche.

They aren't worked up. They've been bad-mouthing Curry as long as they've been here. You said Curry couldn't dunk, Illwill made a joke which you took far too seriously, then STAT City proved you wrong.

I concur

On a more serious note from my last post, even if Curry is playing like he did at his peak (which ain't happening), he just doesn't fit in to what the Heat need. Yes, he can score in the post, but THAT IS IT! At his best he was one of the worst rebounding big men in the league, he is an absolute defensive liability (at least most defensive liabilities at the C position can block 1 shot per game...Curry couldn't), and he is VERY turnover prone who has NEVER averaged 1.0 assist per game. That's just from an on-court perspective. Off the court his attitude and personality could not be any further from what the Heat organization represents. If miraculously he finds a way onto the wagon, all the Heat want/expect is 6 fouls.

Marquis Daniels is just scary...

Purple drank sucks and tastes like crap. I would need to take every single one of those bottles to feel anything. Two of those OC's that I posted will get me nice. Anyhoo...

Nothing screams "CHAMPIONSHIP" like Eddy Curry!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4S6q1HrImQ Kinda funny and she's got a pretty nice flow, so I'd thought I'd post it...

Not a Knicks fan, but I miss getting to watch all his games on MSG. He's always been really, really underrated ('till last year anyway), and he was the only reason I would ever watch Knick games. That double crossover move he would use on fastbreaks was SICK... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0-FS8ZcDmg&feature=fvst

It's a sound idea. I think it accomplishes two important things... 1) It gives Hibbert the chance to really develop his all-around game, and will give him the usage and responsibility of being the focal point of the offense. With his size, post skills and passing skills, the only thing keeping him back is the coach giving him the keys to the car. Now that he has that green light, he has the chance to learn how to utilize those skills while taking 12-13+ shots and facing defenses that are geared to stop him. That is really the first big step in becoming a star player and #1 option. 2) It allows Danny Granger to play off-ball more, where he is most effective/efficient. Giving Granger the oppertunity to play off someone and not have to create as many shots for himself is exactly what the doctor ordered. The last few seasons his efficiency has plummeted, and the one parallell has been the number of shots he's been assisted on has dropped as well. Making Hibbert the focal point of the offense (and the addition of Collison) will take a ton of defensive pressure off him, and he can slip into a role that he's much more suited to be in. BTW, how has Darren Collison looked so far? I haven't seen any Pacer games this season, but from what I gather he has been a bit of a dissapointment the first few games.
