I'm enjoying watching Nate's time spent on the court run zero offense and chucking up shots in a game that was over 6:00min into the first qrt.

wow... Marcus Williams puts up a 20 pt game & follows it up w/a donut the next game & i don't hear a peep outta you other than to say that u can't judge a young player like him on 2 game samples... meanwhile Nate puts up 45 in an OT game last night & follows it up w/this & all i hear out of you is derived sarcastic pleasure at witnessing his struggles on the floor... i think the point i made on that Marcus Williams thread about the double standards some of you regularly display when it comes to players on other teams has been pretty well demonstrated here.

Where were the blow it out of proportion remarks about Marcus Williams, the way there were for Nate?
Marcus scored 20, Nate scored 45... big difference there i think, no? the point isn't that Marcus' game was unworthy of praise while Nate's was... the point is that you can't bring up a game like the one he had & give him props w/o doing the same for Nate when he goes crazy for 45... objectivity... it's not that hard to do, but i guess it is for some.
Please, my "props" for Nate would have looked like bashing compared to all the knob polishing going on.
As for my "props" for Marcus, I can see why you'd take my assessment, that he could do a good job backing up Devin Harris and learning how to be a PG, and blow it out of proportion.
