Jamal Crawford = PG superstar. Just ask Eddy Curry

Jamal Crawford = PG superstar. Just ask Eddy Curry

Take Eddy Curry, for instance. Early in the 2006-07 season, Curry was on a tear, shooting nearly 60 percent from the field, averaging more than 20 points per game and even hearing faint whispers about an All-Star Game appearance. Then, in February, the wheels fell off. Crawford went out for the season with an ankle injury, and all Curry's numbers dropped except one: turnovers. Curry was still getting touches, but no one else knew how to get him the ball in spots where he could be successful. Granted, Curry has always had hands of stone, but in April of that season he was up to nearly five turnovers a game.

Needless to say, Crawford, who averages more than four assists per game for his career, was missed.

The Eddy Curry Show returns

Simply amazing. I'd say he should quit basketball and do this full time, but come on, Eddy Curry doesn't play basketball

"ya never know, look at Vinny Del Negro" - Mark Cuban telling Bill Simmons his plea to be an NBA GM isn't all that far fetched given that VDN became coach of the Bulls. It's amazing, so amazing!

click on picture #29. If Dwight Howard got suspended, I don't see how Rondo can't. But he probably won't be.

Van Gundy, Abbott call it a Flagrant

Van Gundy, Abbott call it a Flagrant

[From the FanShots. This is an embarrassing admission by Van Gundy, saying that flagrants should be called differently in close and late games. He's off my coach search list. Or maybe not, since that strategy works for the C's. -ed.]

Van Gundy can be heard via on link on the espn homepage. JVG think it should have been called in the first 3 quarters, but not the 4th. Regardless, he agrees it fits the definition of a flagrant

Simmons skewers Vinny/NBA coach interviews

Answer I wish Del Negro had given: "Getting off to a good start was much more important for me than the team. I'm such a basket case that my dad decided to sit on the bench with me for the playoffs. No, really -- he's right over there. If we win, he said he's going to take me out for ice cream!"

haha

More No Class Vinny

More No Class Vinny

I wasn't able to watch the game and it's had to tell form the clip, but after Wade misses the layup in overtime it appears that Vinny is once again talking smack and getting in his face and Wade brushes him off. Why doesn't he worry about coaching his own players, not yelling at the opponents.

Cameron, Chicago: I had read that OKC was going to be gunning for Ben Gordon this summer. Does the trade for Chandler change that?
Chad Ford: Depending on where they pick in the draft, the team will still have something like $7 to $8 million in cap space left. That's probably more than enough to get Ben Gordon.

Wow, I'll laugh if after twice turning down 10 mil a year the slumping economy and lower salary cap dictate BG signing for 7 million with the Thunder

If we get Amare, do we fire or keep VDN?

The90sBullsRevival — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 04:01:49 -0000

I've never been a fan of the VDN hiring. The boneheadedness he demonstrated in the Heat game by having Rose on the bench, a cold Thabo throwing the ball in, and Tyrus not playing the inbounder on the final play, are in my opinion, more than enough to fire him and have angry peasents drive him out of town with pitchforks.

Yet, for the moment, he is still the coach. If we get Amare the Bulls will be entering a new era. It's my opinion, that this would be a perfect time to fire Vinny. If Paxson, Reindorf believe that Vinny won't last his contract, if he'll probably be fired at the end of the season, why pollute the next few months with a lame duck coach? To start the Rose/Stoudamire era with a rookie coach orchastrating what should be an amazing 1-2 punch and continuing to oversee Rose's development seems like a mistake. I'd say fire VDN and let Del Harris, a proven coach who's won COY honors, take the reigns of the new look Bulls. VDN does not deserve the chance to screw this up. I don't want to let him. Just as PHX is firing Terry Porter to give themselves a fresh start with hopefully their Amare-less team, I say we do the same.

However, the devil's advocate would say: VDN already knows Amare from working the front office in PHX. He knows how to tailor the game to best fit Amare's strenghts. He's the perfect man for the job and the trade for Amare would effectively let him "start the year over". Besides, if the trades works as commonly proposed, now he wouldn't be able to put Thabo in at the end of the games or start Drew Gooden over our best power forward.

What do you think?

Poll

If we trade for Amare do we fire VDN or give him a stay of execution til at least the end of the season?
