After starting for the Knicks on Friday night against the Raptors center Eddy Curry was planted firmly on the bench for the final 38 minutes, according to the New York Post.

Isiah Thomas insisted that Curry was rested due to matchups, but many find that hard to believe.

"He's definitely in our plans, but some nights the matchups aren't there," Thomas told the Post. "This is a team that really plays small. Sometimes it's not a good night for him matchup-wise. We have David [Lee] for that."
