35 minutes and he scores only 5 fugin points?!

What a phony!!!

Okay, where are all of the big shots who where calling him a great benefit to our offense and how he and a 'FLOOR GENERAL' () would be running the offense? Come on out of your corner and come get some!!!

Be fair, I don't think anybody really said that. Although some people took a little too much out of the last game.

The title of this thread should have been:

Nate 'The Grrrrr-8' Sucked it tonight

Keep Nate and have him remain part of our core. Of course he's not a 45 pt scorer, but he's not a 5 pt scorer either. He's still a good player though.

there is no room for that type of objectivity on this forum... shame on you!

or maybe the guy was tired after scoring 45 the other night & playing like a wildman through 5 quarters of basketball?

Or maybe as Allanfan said, he's not that 45 points good and he's not 5 points bad. He's a role player, best coming off the bench where he can match up against other backups.

Seriously, why make excuses or try to make him out to be more than he is?

isles, can u point out where i made Nate out to be more than what he is? i'm curious where some of you get these phantom quotes of mine.

Why are you making lame excuses for Nate? He's tired from playing 2 days ago?

Christ, i made a suggestion... who the fukk knows why Nate's having a bad game?... maybe his fukkin jock in on too tight... maybe his shot wasn't falling... it happens... i'd expect all you basketball experts around here to have watched enough basketball to know that Nate's more than just a 5 pt per game player... i swear to God all the nimrods around here who jump down the throat of anyone who makes any minute reference or comment in support of any of our players is making this place a fukkin' troll's den.

And we'd expect some of you to know that Nate blowing up for 45 is very much the exception and should not be taken out of proportion. Support is fine. Suggesting that Nate should be a starter, that people need to be traded to make room for him, that you can expect big things from Nate, that all they need is the right backcourt mate to complement Nate and you're set, is just plain stupid.

It works both ways. I'd expect you to understand that.

Nate is a phenominal player for his size. He would be dominating in a little man league. The mike jordan of 6 foot and under.

But in the NBA' he's too damn short and we never should of drafted him. No excuses, sorry. This is the NBA and you NEVER' draft a guy who's under six foot. He's way over hyped, too mouthy and only brings a show. Not the way to win games. It just isn't. I will continue my disgust of isiah and the over hyped and over paid players he's brought to us. This team is a disaster and it's staring all of you right in the face.

As far as I'm concerned this is the team to keep and put on the floor for the rest of the year:
Lee
Balkman
Morris
Chandler
Collins
and Crawford (at least he scores consistently)

I'm sorry, but the rest of this team is a huge mismatch. Never should have done it.

And you didn't say **** to the people who were over the top, the way you seem hell bent on saying things to people who had the audacity to say that Marcus Williams "wasn't bad".

That's the point. That's the double standard.

Is it safe to say that Nate in his prime has the potential to be cappable of averaging 14-15pts 3rebs, 3assist, 1stl per game off the bench in 28mins per game? Or is that to lofty??

14-15 pts is very lofty. 10pts, 3 rebs, 3 asts, 1 stl and 5 dimes in 20-25 minutes a game off the bench would be more than can be expected.

Nate's putting up 13 & 3 this year in 25 mpg... i guess he's already exceeded your expectations... maybe he needs to collect more dimes to meet them tho... Marbs should school him on how to do it.
