Demetrius Nichols, recently signed to a 10-day, continues the management’s trend to overlook the glaring defensive holes on this roster in favor of another Roberson.
I didn’t agree when we cut this guy the first time around, so its nice to see him earn another chance, but if he can’t defend, then I’m not sure why we’re doing it. Don’t we already have enough stockpiled shooters?
In other news, E__y Curry is practicing for the team. With Jerome James’ departure at the trade deadline, I vote for Curry as most reviled Knick currently on the roster. And it wasn’t always that way, because people–myself included–used to cheer for this player when he actually played for the Knicks. But, like your Jamal Crawfords, and your Stephon Marburys, over time, you realize you wasted your Knick loyalty on these players, and I look forward to the day when E__y is no longer wearing orange and blue.
The next game is tomorrow night against the Bobcats.

Curry
Is certainly not a person worth rooting for these days. Sure he has had plenty of turmoil off the court but I believe he’s earned fans derision b/c he shrunk at the challenge of facing off stepping up and being the Knicks man in the middle. He shrunk from the opportunity to show the franchise he could do the board work and shot blocking when another post player was brought abroad-Z-bo.
I think the Knicks might have a nice active hungry practice squad off long strong shooting swings outside- rotation of Nilo, Nichols and Chandler who test one another’s mettle- and shotblockers inside- Wilcox and Sambe- who will force the Starting unit and key reserves to sure up on the teams shortcomings- shrinking against teams with shot blockers and teams with big swing shooters e.g., R. Lewis, H. Turkoglu, Iggy pop etc.
