Comments from the Other Side - Raptors 11/27

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 10:36:00 -0500

One thing I have to say about the Raptors fans, they might not like their team very much but they sure to talk about it a lot. One board had over 90 pages, one had over 50 and a third had over 20 pages. Most of the posts were trashing their own team, but there were a few gems about the Celtics too. Enjoy! Team might as well forfeit and head back to T.O.... Excuse me, while I go and have a nightmare about the next game. Prediction Raptors come out firing 67-55 at the half. ...

Eddy Curry Willing to Take on Kobe

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 09:30:01 -0500

Don’t worry about a thing, Knickerbockers. Eddy’s got this: ” Eddy Curry is so enthusiastic these days, the Knicks center volunteered to defend a certain Lakers guard tonight at Staples Center. ‘I’m so happy to be back, doesn’t matter to me,’ Curry said. ‘I’ll guard Kobe [Bryant].’ Curry has gotten lighter, but not that light. Curry’s emotion got the best of him Sunday against Boston when he pushed down Rajon Rondo to the floor...

Eddie Curry's first game back. This is a huge test for Eddy Curry. I wanna see how he does vs. Kendrick Perkins, Kevin Garnett, and Rasheed Wallace. I hate Perkins. I hope Eddy has the game of his life Well the Knicks are on a winning streak.... Celtics are on a losing streak. Should be easy pickings Watch Rondo run wild on Duhon, also worried about the Gallo Pierce match up it's gonna be a tough assignment for Gallo. But yeah, I'll say it'll be much...

Meet the Shockingly Skinny Eddy Curry

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 09:30:35 -0500

Somehow, Eddy now looks like half the man he used to be, literally. And this is a good thing: “Knicks head coach Mike D’Antoni said Eddy Curry had been working out at a grueling pace for over a month. The results, however, would still shock just about anybody. Curry looked slim, ripped and like a player on a mission when he practiced with his team Tuesday for the first time since tearing a calf muscle on the opening day of training camp. His two-a-day conditioning program with Knicks’ t...

WTF Did the Knicks Do with Eddy Curry?

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 22:09:00 -0500

Can someone tell me where the Knicks are hiding Eddy Curry? Seriously, what have they done with our lovable round mound of non-rebound? I'll share the video after the jump. But if you check out the screen grab to the left, it may start to give you a hint as to what I'm talking about. The man on the left, and the individual on the right, are apparently one and the same.

Although perhaps not quite literally, Eddy Curry is half the man he used to be, maybe because he was feeling the dawn fade to gray on his career. Whatever the reason, Jenny Craig should sign this guy up as their new spokesman.

Curry, who has been battling back from a torn calf muscle suffered on the first day of training camp back in late September has, by various accounts, been putting himself through grueling workouts. This is a sentiment I'd read in numerous media outlets, mostly credited to D'Antoni. I must admit. I didn't buy any of it -- not for a second.

In all honesty, I've always had a soft spot for Eddy Curry, no pun on his love handles intended. That said, he seemed a lost soul with oodles of talent and zero drive. His conditioning was awful, his work ethic non-existent. The only passion one could validate was his love for the buffet line. You wanted to see him fight, but the DNA strain just didn't seem to be there. Then, I caught this video today.

For a second, ignore the ridiculous "Help on the Way" headline as it relates to the 1-7 Knicks. Forego the notion that Eddy is not built for Coach Mike's style of play. Suspend disbelief. And just for this singular moment, let's give some props to Eddy Curry. He's easily dropped 50 pounds, if not 75. Whether it will make a difference is yet to be seen, but the transformation in and of itself has already proved something within Curry few of us thought to exist.

Eddy Curry's body can't handle him being a fat bastard

Thu, 01 Oct 2009 10:46:51 -0500

Eddy Curry addresses the media after yesterday's practiceThe combination of sheer bulk and a workout regimen that includes using a hoveround to get to the refrigerator are proving too much for Eddy Curry's body. It's revolting on him, cracking under the pressure of hauling his fat ass around. Eddy Curry could be sidelined up to one week after an MRI revealed a torn right plantaris muscle, which runs from the top of the calf to the A...

Curry: 'I'll be ready'

Sun, 12 Jul 2009 22:50:13 -0500

He ran hard, he spun, he bounced and he dunked. In fact, he dunked with ease, which is not something you could say a few months ago. Eddy Curry looked himself again. Yes, still big, but nimble and explosive. And six weeks into his strict offseason regimen, he went as far as saying the game seems to be coming easier for him again. He reacts now on instinct when over the past few seasos he admits he used to calculate a lot of his moves. "This," he said, "is the way it used to b...
