Didn't Al do something like that tonight?

yeah, he did.. I was kinda waiting for a reaction, but none came whatsoever. Guess pringles was in a good mood maybe?

somebody tell Al the trade deadline has passed already... no use trying to get traded out of here now.

Pringles man was picking on the lil' guy Nate as a way to scapegoat an easy target for the failures of the team. Makes him look dumb when he looks the other way, when his boy House commits the same "atrocities" that he castigated Nate for.

That is some pretty nice rationalizing a double-standard Nix!

I think I see your point: House is soooo good that the behavior he exhibits that is no different from Robinson's should be treated differently. House is the guy who made Phoenix and and Boston good, not Steve Nash, Marion, Stoudemire, Allen, Garnett, Pierce, Rondo.

Yeah, it was HOUSE!!

I guess if Robinson had been lucky enough to be a 9th man some on good teams, then D'Antoni would let him get away with anything!!!

See how ridiculous you sound?

DUDE you've got me all wrong here. I'm playing devils advocate for why there may be a different view of certain guys. I don't agree that anyone should be allowed to act like an ass but I realize that when you're considered a winner or are playing in a winning situation things get overlooked that don't get overlooked on losing situations. I never said that HOuse himself was a winner or the reason his teams won. But he was a part of teams that won.

Plus the fact that some guys get labelled and it sticks, like Nate. He will have to live his rep down. House hasn't gotten near the same flack for trash talk or celebrations and to be honest Nate is far more egregious in how he carries on.

Just remember the things Nate has done in the past that really got under the skin of management. Remember the Denver fight and how Nate acted? I could go on and on and find similar events that marked Nate. By comparison House hasn't had near the same stigma attached to him.

Stop playing devil's advocate for minute. D'Antoni should be smarter than that. D'Antoni knows both of these guys. Eddie House is a well known ass by the way, and he is pretty egregious, you just haven't had the displeasure of watching him on the regular yet.

You remember farther back than most of us when it comes to the Knicks. The other night during the celebration, Clyde said the best thing about Red Holzman is that he had one set of rules for every player, from the star to the last guy on the bench.

I too have the same philosophy: Treat all your men with equal fairness.
