Apologies for taking this question verbatim from the title of Bermarbury's blog post:
http://blogs.nypost.com/sports/knicks/archives/2008/12/will_nate-duhon.html

I know that there are the defensive problems of sticking the 5 Foot Assassin out there on 2s, but I'm not opposed to it at all.
I'm interested in seeing how successful it is, and want to know what the UK faithful think about it?

On a related note, did Marbury ever spend much time at the 2?

But if it did the above song would be the Knicks new theme song.

I think we had a gigantic thread on this....that covered all bases on both sides of opinion. Too lazy to look up the thread but I know we went through this already.

The answer was: Probably not.
The reasoning was: Watch the Suns/Lakers game where Nate is up against players a foot taller than him and we'd probably see why it won't work.

Not in 2010 and beyond. And preferably not in 2009 either.

Why can't Duhon guard the 2 while Nate guards the 1?

'Cause then Duhon gets abused and shot over.

This will not and can not work against any good team.

It shouldn't even be a question.

We get a good test tonight and against the Lakers.

Jason Richardson - 6'6" -225
Kobe Bryant - 6'7" 205 (what is it with this guy, years ago he was 6'8" 220 in listings, now he's down to 6'6 and 205? HUH!? I dont buy it.)


....

Chris Duhon - 6'1" - 185
Nate Robinson - 5'9" (GENEROUS!) - 180



We don't get bent over with this...HOW again?

If Nate stays and he comes off the bench as the 6th or 7th man, then that's perfect. But for them to be the starting backcourt will never ever ever work. Way too many matchup problems.

I prefer Nate off the bench. I like the intensity he brings. With Nate coming off the bench there is an energy boost coming from him that you won't see with Q and TT off the bench. I also thought Q was playing fairly well at the 2 and wasn't hurting us like some make it out. He's hot and he's cold, there are many players in many rotations who are succeeding that are the same way. I like him starting and let Nate play based on matchups and who is playing better out of the two.
I just hope that people will like me

I prefer Nate coming off some other team's bench.

Shouldn't you have been banned already? It's been a couple weeks, what's up with that?

Q should be starting at the 2... Nate's worth is as the energizer rabbit off the bench.
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

No way. Only 174 to the Magic 10,000. I'm on my best behavior until I get there.

Oh my god, I can't beleive that you said all those insensitive remarks via private message. They were appalling. Martin/Andrew please ban him. I would forward the remarks to you, but they were far to insensitive for anyone's ears. Just trust me on this one. You can ban him now, or wait until he has 9999. Either way, works for me.

I think it's temporary, Nate being a starter. Who's the other choice? Q-Rich? You play with what you got.

Damn you Bobo! Those were PRIVATE messages. And you know you deserved them for all those nasty things you said about Martin and Andrew.

Good thing the search function includes checking peoples private messages. I'm gonna have to see this for myself.
