Nate's job here is to score, not run the point. I have no problem with his lack of assists if that is the role we are grooming him for. I did have a problem with the dunk attempt and the goal tend. Those are showboating plays and not winning plays. In a close game they could have come back to haunt us. But Isiah handled it and it should be in the past until he does it again. And when he does it again Isiah should get progressively harsher with his punishments. In the meantime, not that big a deal, he's young and dumb and will learn if we continue to teach and not coddle.
I just hope that people will like me

That, right there, is the key.

Strangely, IMHO, Nate is as much of a PG as is Franbury.

Nate or Ellis? Zeke worked both of em out. he said he loved Ellis' skill but Nate's bravado won him over. funny the highschooler has shown more maturity and growth as a ballplayer and it's not the system. when Monty played him last year he showed in those spurts he could be a force at guard.

Nates still sky-writing his name after plays. Ellis is winning ballgames for GS and putting up numbers in the midst.

a GM who can judge skill and character would be such a nice change. Allan should be getting groomed for the position as we speak.
the stop underrating David Lee movement 1. FIRE MIKE 2. HIRE MULLIN 3. PAY AVERY 4. FREE NATE!!!

Nate's antics against the cavs is just an example of what's wrong with the knicks, owner, coach/gm and some players are crazy and at times so very unprofessional.

Its Isiahs fault for drafting him right? Dolan told Isiah to tell Nate to try that.


It's Isiah's fault for not dealing with him right after the missed dunk attempt, what message did it send to the other young players ?

It told them it's ok to be a clown, that hasn't learned anything from last yr. That was a move you do in warmups.
It's Dolan's fault for hiring him.

Why did Isiah Thomas decision to leave Robinson in the game following the ill-fated dunk attempt. Thomas said when he missed a dunk as a freshman at Indiana, Bob Knight kept him in the game and made him feel the humiliation.

"I was fully expecting him to scream but he did the thing I couldn't take the most," Thomas said. "He left me out there to be embarrassed in front of 20,000 people. I think Nate got the message."

Not exactly. When told that Thomas said the player wouldn't try it again, Robinson replied: "Yeah, I guess. I won't be trying it unless we're up 20."


This kid is ADD no doubt about it!

I bet he can't sit still 5 min .

It was funny seeing James cracking up on the bench and hiding his face behind his hand
I LOVED how Curry just exploded in the 4th, speaking as a fan of the Raptors, Curry looked well, scary I think is the word. Or Shaq-like Curry: 19.1ppg-7.3rpg-58%fg

Remember last year when the Lakers were at the Garden, Nate threw it down and then started jabbering to the Laker bench on the way down, even though it was the 4th and we were down by 30-some? The entire bench (and Phil Jackson, IIRC) started cracking up.

That was embarrassing.

Nate is a freaking idiot and I want his selfish self promoting *** gone.

For every highlight play he makes, he makes 4 boneheaded ones. You don't win with players like that. Let him go someplace else and he a circus freak. I want players who understand how to play the game and not guys who just want to get theirs and look good doing it.
