Curry
I’ll say this though, I NEVER thought he’d be this good. Just didn’t think he’d be able to score off the bounce well enough at this level. Although outside of the G State system maybe that’s not the case.
On another note, Amir dominating down low.

this is the first time I see Chris after he come back from the injury
not sure what it is, but there is something missing in him
i think hes just not trying, he just passing time till the off season so he can leave either that or hes soft and if the latter is true then hes not a max player

Monta is one of the least efficient players in the league. If they had some of their other guys healthy and didnt have Monta, they wouldn’t be any worse off
Agreed. Actually think Magette and Curry have been their most important players.

Pretty easy to see what’s up here. No energy, no perimeter D, scrambling on offense. Time to put Banks and Weems in and chain some of these overpaid guys to the bench.

Perfect example of why Jose is such a bad defender. He was doubling on the freaking perimeter while Curry is sitting wide open in he corner. Luckily Jose’s offense has been on fire to compensate.
by RaptorsHQ - Franchise on Mar 14, 2010 12:13 AM EST via mobile up reply actions
Curry
What a great young player. The TWolves must be kicking themselves right now. They could’ve had CURRY AND RUBIO.
the only thing worse than playing without Chris
is to play with him in but absent
Somehow
The Raptors remain on the periphery of getting back in this game. Then again, that’s what the Warriors do, they get a lead and let their opponents back in.

I Can't Comment on
Jack’s portly status, but should it be true at one point this season, it can create tension on the team that is obviously gratuitous and can only create more headaches. When I look at the Raptors, on paper they should be a solid playoff team. However, something is getting lost in the execution. I’m sure everyone on this blog can agree with that.

I am a GSW fan and
the only reason I have been watching the Warriors is Curry. For the last two months Curry has been occasionally putting together insane games. He was only running the point occasionally at the beginning of the year and took very few shots. He had a triple double against the Clippers with 35 points 13 assists, he had 13 assists and 30 pts vs. Denver. He had 24 pts and 15 assists vs. Sac. He had 31 pts and 11 assists vs Atlanta. He has also had games where he handled the ball poorly but he is still young and is very spectacular as a point guard.

Marcus Banks might be wise. I remember when he played at Dixie State College in Utah and he had 40 points in a game. I was broadcasting that game on a student radio station in Ephraim, Utah. So, yes, I know how well he can play.

Bosh More Turnovers Than Johnson Fouls?
When CB4 commits more turnovers than Johnson does fouls you know its a bad game for the Raptors.
