I have said all along, or at least thought, that this benching was fine. It really should have been done much earlier in his career, but that was when the players were higher in authority than the coach and we were winning 23 games.

Im still thinking this could be the best thing that could happen to Nate and maybe even the Knicks. Maybe he eventuLly comes back with an improved `tude and a decision to play on both ends, which would help us A LOT.

Think about it. Right now, we have 8 or 9 guys busting their arses on D and doing everything in their power to gel as a team. I think that if a guy slacked off, he would hear about it from 8 other guys. If Nate gets time again, what are his choices??? The standard has been raised here by a coach that finally has more juice then some joker players. This is how you win folks. Nate, has to comply to the coaches wishes or we will just win without him. That's what happens when standards are raised.

Gotta agree with the Noob.
