Most of Nate's issues is nate. But if you get exiled in MDA's system its as good as kicking you to curb

Especially a coach as great as MDA reputation and skillset knowledge.

MDA tried to help him a bunch. Before last year he said he could lead the league in steals, all types of praise. With MDA's reputation as a generally great guy, you have to wonder how stupid and ****ed up Nate is to get in his doghouse.

Nate needs to take a little responsibility. Other people can only help you as much as you want to help yourself.

MDA's a great guy as long as you're not causing any friction for him... after u get into his doghouse it's just like DJ said, u'r either kicked to the curb or thrown out to sea without a life support... MDA's a very passive aggressive type of personality... he'll sweet talk you, flash u that nice country boy smile & tell u he loves & respects u... then he'll cut your balls off with a rusty butter knife when you least expect it... k, maybe that was a bit extreme... i shoulda said a sharp butter knife.

MDA is a mastermind & very calculating... that's exactly what makes him a great coach to begin with, but it also makes him open to criticism for the bullsh!t comments he makes... he's a manipulator of people, which sometimes great coaches have to do to get results, but that still doesn't make outward lies justifiable unless you're just willing to sacrifice integrity to get wins.

Alright, though I don't agree with that assessment, let's go with it:

Even if he is what you say he is, who's side do you take on this? Nate or the coach that will lead us to great things? F' Nate, he's a scrub; MDA is a winning coach.
