Media paronoia!

Nate Robinson is sooooooooooooooooooooooo over-rated.


He is a 5-7 2 guard for crying out loud!!!!!

I am almost ready to start not liking him the way he is hyped here.

He really is not a very good player, he is unbelievably athletic, and because he is so small, everything he does seems extraordinary and in its own way it is, but please stop with this talk of Nate running the point among other things. He is definitely the worst PG on our team behind Penny Hardaway.

And he has a long way to go before he can truly be effective for more than 10 mpg.

This iwas controversial, but I satnd by this. 4 points, 3 turnovers in 5 minutes. He's got a long way to go, I hope he is listening to Larry.

Once again. Nate has a long way to go. I wonder how many posters in this thread have begun to see what I see.

I began to see it in summer league when many around here were making Marbury trades based on NR's highlights.

oohah

we have some pieces. there really isn't a true superstar in the midst of our young'n's as of right now (possibly frye, curry down the road). i think it's OBVIOUS to almost everyone that we are a team built to play uptempo...but we're not allowed to do it. it's not just us, but it's all analysts and media as well.

TURN THE PAGE already. it's been 5 years since ewing has left and we're still scrambling. look around the league - charlotte, toronto, new orleans, milwaukee - teams that are young and are allowed to play aggressive and up tempo. why can't we be playing like that? we have more "talent" yet we aren't maximizing it.

lb needs to STFU. isiah needs to step in and say something to lb. this is very ugly. we all knew it was going to be a process and take a while but i don't think any of us thought it was going to be this ugly.

after every game, be it a win or loss, i could take something positive away. i took away NOTHING from this game.

the pheonix suns just started boris diaw at center and just beat the rockets. WHY CAN'T WE PLAY LIKE THAT?!?!!?

* because Isiah made the Marbury trade. you need quick thinking high energy ball-handlers to play uptempo. Marbury isn't either. Craw has good passing instincts, unfortunately his energy level seems to rise (with the rookies) and fall (playing next to Steph) over the course of a game. KT did say most of the organization was scared of Steph...outshining him on the court is a good way to draw his ire (see comments about Frye executing his part of the pick and roll).

* because wing defenders and rebounding guards isn't a priority on the trade/draft list so steals and long rebounds to run off aren't there.

* because the only floor running big men we have are 2 rookies, 1 of which is getting abused playing a tweener 3 on the defensive end.

He has talent, but he doesn't have a head.

he isn't improving playing with steph.

Neither is the situation in Iraq. Wanna blame Steph for that too?
You are ridiculous.

just thought this should be at the top since we had a lot of Nate haters last week and now everybody carrying his ben gay filled jock strap

I still stick to my stance that Robinson will have plenty of ups and downs as a rookie. Now if NR has 10-15 games in a row like the last one, my tune might change.

oohah
