Curry Unhappy About Lack Of Playing Time

These days, the New York Knicks have been winning, having won seven of their past 9 games before getting beat by the Miami Heat on Friday.

What’s interesting about this sudden prosperity is the fact that besides guard Nate Robinson has not being a part of it (11 games and counting), center Eddy Curry has not seen court action for the fourth straight game; according to Mitch Abramson over at the New York Daily News, he isn’t too happy about the developments.

He basically said as much to the Daily News, stating:

“This is frustrating because I worked so hard to get back to get ready to go and now it’s like every game I have to figure out if I’m playing or not. Just sitting over there waiting to see what’s going to happen (is difficult). It’s tough to deal with, especially at this stage of my career, at this age (27). Well, I’m not that old yet but I’ve been in here for a while. I just leave it up to (coach Mike D’Antoni) if he decides I play. If not, then I’ll try to figure something out.”

Interestingly enough, Curry hasn’t spoken to D’Antoni about the benching nor does he have any idea what it would take to get any playing time.

Hmmm. I think I know why D’Antoni is sitting both. It may be a stretch, but I would have to say that if the Knicks are currently on a winning streak, they are obviously going to ride the hot hand. I’m pretty sure that Robinson already knows this; if Curry hasn’t figured it out yet, then he better get a clue, because the Knicks coach isn’t going to fix what isn’t broken. Heck, if I was Mike, I’d probably do the same exact thing.
