Eddy Curry Expected To Play Tonight

Eddy CurryEddy Curry

Let the Eddy Curry showcase begin. Word out of New York is that Curry is expected to make his return to the lineup against the Dallas Mavericks tonight, appearing in his first game since March 7, 2008. In that game, E-City scored 23 points (8-13 from the floor, 7-9 from the stripe) and grabbed four boards in 38 minutes of action. But don’t expect him to see much burn in his 2009 debut.

“He’s not in shape yet so Knicks coach Mike D’Antoni plans to use Curry sparingly until he gets in game form. New York dressed just eight players in its last game with Jared Jefferies as the only true center on the roster.”

First of all, Jefferies is not a true center. Second, it will be interesting to see how Curry does in D’Antoni’s system after recently being sidelined with a bruised knee.

What do you predict from Curry tonight?

    Poor Eddy won’t be able to last 2 min. This should be entertaining.

    Paramedics will be standing by with a Defib. and a donut.

    hmmm…curry is a good low post scorer…and is moderately athletic for his size…..but he wont last 30 seconds in the game. why dont we get this guy a personal trainer so he can cut the weight. put him on a treadmill for like 2 hrs a day

    must be big mac night

  6. The Real Tyrone says:

    Ain’t no doubt that Curry is a fat, dumbass who ain’t got no hops and ability to play no defense. Let’s see what the loser cana do before his fatass is shipped straight outta town.

    True thugs NEVER lie.

    Isn’t Jared Jeffries a true small forward?

  8. control says:

    I hope they reinforced the hardwood on the court. This guy trying to play pushing close to 4 bills is just an accident waiting to happen. I hope the team puts a notice out to the U.S. Geological Survey letting them know that there will be some seismological activity going on as ECountry tries to keep up with the “run and gun knicks”.

    Fucking Haters Go watch Tyra or Oprah you girlie men!!

    Knicks UP!! all the rest down!!

  10. the cynic says:

    did NY run out of food or something?

  11. fallinup says:

    If NY signed Tyra and Oprah, they would probably do better than 12th place in the East.

  12. calvin brodus says:

    Dime just keeps using that photo of Eddy and it so terribly, awfully, awful. It makes humans looks bad as entire species. I take that back. It makes every mammal on this planet look bad.

  13. m_hov@odu.edu says:

    thats not tyrone, he didnt say “dish dope dimes and get mad buckets” or “…yall”

    get out of here imposter

    lol

  14. the Heckler says:

    why is eddy curry still in the nba?
    knicks should just buy him out and let him retire.
    im surprised burger king hasn’t reached out to curry to be their spokesman.

    as for the knicks, mike d’antoni sucks and so does his (so called) “system”.

    there are only 3-5 goods teams in the east and the best he can do is 12th place?
    FIRE D’ANTONI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    knicks are only a measly 4 games better now than with isiah ‘gimme some head now, bitch’ thomas as the coach

  15. that's whats up says:

    see that tattoo on his chest?
    It actually looks like this:

    Never
    Get
    Burn

  16. blah says:

    lol @#3

  17. Drink the Haterade (KB24 Chip 09) says:

    @ Heckler– Actually the Mike D Suns ranked 16th in defense, about avg. So it’s not that it sucks, it’s just not good enough to win the chip.

  18. Joe says:

    Leave the guy alone. At least his “fat ass” is in the NBA and getting paid for it.

    You mean muthafarkers. All you haters are probably “fat ass” nerds who sit in front of the TV, thinking/wishing you were in the League. Keep dreaming you fat bastids…

  19. Derik says:

    wow! he is huge, and he just got out run by Dampier effortlessly

  20. control says:

    Damn…even his head looks fatter now. He has to be pushin at least 360lbs. He couldn’t even dunk on the one highlight I seen…harsh.

  21. control says:

    Why does Nate Rob have a green light? How that midget bustin up 16 shots in 20 minutes (missing 12) and only getting 1 assist? That lil’ kid needs to be put on a leash.

  22. heartbreaker85 says:

    now i get why donnie walsh hired mike d antoni.

    he wanted a coach whose system makes 20 point scorers out of just about anyone on any given night. that way, when their stats are up (ppg, rpg, apg) other teams are gonna be fooled and make trades.

  23. VHAS says:

    I love it when there’s an article about Eddy Curry, the fat joke’s never gets too old.

    You all should be ashamed for making fun of the fat kid, but i have to admit some of the posts are really funny…lol

  24. VHAS says:

    Oh that pic is really bad too, Dime should replace it with something that doesn’t make him look that fat or ugly!

  25. KnickFan84 says:

    Last time I checked Curry was dominating dudes, don’t see where the fat is at when he’s standing in front of you ready to crack a hook across your face..

    the tattoo on his chest says:

    NEVER
    AM
