Check out the idiots who cheer Nate when he comes into the game, back from his suspension. A suspension that he can only blame on his own stupid punk actions. But people will cheer him and he'll think that only validates his actions instead of learning that that kind of behavior is completely unacceptable.
Great point. Unfortunately Nate isn't mature enough, right now. Nate should be sent off to boarding school so he can elevate past a fifth grade maturity level.
Wishing everyone well. I enjoyed posting here for a while, but as I matured I realized this forum isn't for me. We all evolve. Thanks for the memories everyone.

That sounds like jealousy. I think it's clear to anyone who reads Isles posts that he's a pretty intelligent guy, regardless of whether you agree with his views or not.

Everyone was falling all over themselves in praise of Nate Robinson last year, heralding him as the replacement for Steph and so on. I saw him then, for what most see him as now, a useful player, spark plug off the bench, who you can sometimes ride longer if he's hot.
Nate doesn't play hard enough on D. But since everyone hated Steph so much, no one saw that. He leaves guys open, doesn't close out, and doesn't hound ball handlers like he should at 5'7".
Nate did something stupid but lets not act like he raped a little girl or something. Lets give him an oppurtunity to bounce back. All of these zero tolerence people kill me, like they've never made a mistake in their lives.

I don't think anyone was fool enough to say that Nate was a replacement for Steph. Spark plug at best.

I think Killa is right. Some people were making Nate tou to be an all-star level starter eventually. Most of us saw differently. He's just a spark plug and I wouldn't think twice about trading him.
As for zero-tolerance. Nate has proven to be excessively immature. Let's not hang him yet, but he does need to grow up.

Gonna have to disagree with you Islesfan. It was a welcome back and that was it. JR Smith was also cheered tonight in his return and Carmello is going to get an eruption.
Nate Robinson suffered his punishment with 10 games. No need to punish him more. The team was fine without him, and the team will be fine with him. No need to kill him anymore, b/c it's officially in the past.
