BRIGGS wrote:Nate was hurt for a good part of this season--he was playing well before benching Exactly. Robinson missed just about 50% of the games in November. Saying that he was the reason the Knicks were losing in November has no basis in reality. The Knicks win more and were more competitive in November when Robinson played big minutes...FACTS NOT FICTION!! http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/players/3947 Nate Robinson's benching was personal, not basketball related. Face it people! BRIGGS wrote:tonight the guy was the freshest player in the nBA--what A performance--this is not the first time he had a sick game like this--while he wont do it every night--it just shows you just how talented he is --so he yaps a bit--why cant players have fun with what they are doing? Because people like to make sanctimonious nonsense arguments that fly in the face of reality. oohah Good luck Mike D'Antoni, 'cause you ain't never seen nothing like this before!

I was really happy for Nate and I hope it works out here for him.
If you are still following the team and reading sites like this, there is nothing, short of your own demise, that is going to throw you off this train.

Nate was not getting the point of what MDA is trying to do with this team. MDA wants accountable, professional, team oriented players that are willing to play on both ends. Nate was not doing that. He can score, but that's not everything. He was also out of control and not playing team ball. He wasn't defending either. The deal is that a coach has every right to do whatever it takes to set the right tone for his team and teach them how to win as a team. Anyone that wants to try and argue that MDA hasn't been doing this go ahead and show the proof. Everything he's been doing is bearing results. The team is playing at a much more consistently good level. Now maybe Nate will be able to do what MDA is asking or maybe not, but MDA had every right to make the coaching decision he did. It's never been about talent with Nate. All that we need is for him to control the energy and passion he plays with. It's a fine line, but he has to do it. |

The team is playing at a much more consistently good level. I really do get it. You always have the same spin. Robinson was not the problem, Duhon was THE PROBLEM, both offensively and defensively. If you are telling me that Duhon was playing defense or offense on anything but the lowest level possible in November, if you say that Duhon was not the main reason the Knicks were horrible, then you know you're not telling the truth. The TEAM PLAYED BETTER in November with Robinson playing than they did when he was injured. And give it a rest with this "control" stuff. Robinson was getting a good amount of assists and a few steals as well in November, not just scoring. He was doing what he does. The same thing he did last year when he dropped big games to will the team to a win, just like he did tonight. None of your adjectives that try to paint the facts with untruths can change that. Again I really do get it: If Mike D'Antoni tells the team to play with their shorts around their ankles you will post on and on about his motivational genius. See? I get it. oohah Good luck Mike D'Antoni, 'cause you ain't never seen nothing like this before!

the Hawks missed a ton of big shots down the stretch that could have won the game for them... if the Knicks lose this game, we'd be hearing people ragging on Nate for not playing within the team concept & not contributing to help them win ballgames... we'd be seeing threads like "Sure he can put up #'s but the team doesn't win" or "MDA was right in benching Nate" popping up instead.
Nate did nothing different tonight than what he's done since he's been here... he was a sparkplug off the bench & he provided instant offense... he's taken over games like this before... he was playing 1 on 5 down the stretch... this wasn't the way MDA wants him to play, so y'all need to stop saying it was... MDA's system is predicated on sharing the ball, not on 1 on 5 play... benching Nate did nothing but prevent us from having Nate at our disposal in those games he missed. yeah, Nate said it was a humbling experience... he's saying all the right things, he's not gonna disparage the head coach & make another issue out of this now that he's finally gotten back in the rotation... the attention whoring preening & posing, the yucking it up with opponents before games, & the bad mistakes in crucial moments is not going away anytime soon so u guys shouldn't start thinking he's learned something from this whole experience... MDA & Nate are never going to be on the same page & Nate's not going to dominate like he did tonight on a daily basis... this is what he brings you & what he's brought us since he's been here. After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

Perhaps the Knicks arent so willing to trade Nate, as ive said all along, Nd did this for his own good. I feel this and felt that. D`Antoni played this perfectly. I supported this move from the start and Nate, more importantly, handled it well. Now he has to keep it up.

Also, when Nate Robinson was thanking D'Antoni, it sounded as insincere as you can imagine. He also thanked his agent. People should really listen to the whole speech and then comment on how humbled he is. To me Robinson sounded more like: "See? Ain't nobody gonna break my stride!" oohah Good luck Mike D'Antoni, 'cause you ain't never seen nothing like this before!
