Nate saved the day for Boston tonight. Knocking down 2 3 pointers within 90 seconds. He was the spark that got Boston going. Betcha Boston signs him with a contract next season. I'm happy for him and he is doing everything right. Doc rivers know how to deal with these young and old players. Nate will get his ring and we will be still praying for a LeBron sighting.

Unfortunately he had the misfortune of playing for a coach who requires players to display a mature, professional demeanor on and off the court without communicating expectations, providing a structure, culture or teaching the desired behavior. Nate became a guy labeled uncoachable by a guy that doesn't communicate his expectations or teach.
If your job is to communicate, get guys to work together for a common goal, is it fair to expect a 25 year old with talent to not need guidance, knowledge, and discipline provided from an authority figure? If you say no then you think LBJ should be allowed to pick his coach and that it will work in my opinion.

So with your reasoning, the same can be applied to Doc Rivers. And the same will be applied to every other coach Nate has for the rest of his career because Nate is an immature out of control player who has been in the league for 5 seasons and still plays and acts the same way.

Jeez...what is it with falling in love with bum ass players who happen to show flash once every 10 games? I don't get it.

You sound like such a blue hair with your evaluations of players. Look at the most significant guys in the finals that are winning. They are in their thirties except for Rondo. If you are expecting guys to be totally evolved as players when they are 25 or in their rookie year you are almost always going to be disappointed. Those guys need coaching, guidance, leadership, structure, clear communicated expectations. I don't think D'Antoni is providing that.

Funny though- Rivers said that Nate would have his moment, and he did, and it could not have come at a more opportune time.

A moment under a national spotlight for little Nate... he played some good ball last night- he deserves some good press.

Cleveland series?

Anyone see his halftime interview?, he said God talked to him.

God took time out from all those in need, a planet poisened by an oil spill, Suffering from earthquakes, famine, flooding and disease to talk to nate. The man is special.

Special Nate.

Does this mean the deity is a Celtics fan, or is Red Auerbach actually god??

I was not in the room when he said it, but I thought I did hear him say something about a supreme being.

Now he/she can get back to dealing with that oil gusher and save some wildlife, I guess.

Keep your religious or non religious beliefs off the board if you're gonna talk like this. That's actually insulting.

I thought it was an odd comment as well. I'm of the belief that my God is omnipotent. Meaning he still able to deal with other problems while listening to my meager prays.

The special Nate comments are also actually tasteless for that matter, but he says it all the time, I don't even think he knows what it means to be "Special."

So What!!! Whats the big deal. Players say things that will make sense to them. Look the kid is only 5feet 9 and holding his own in a big mans game. I watch him play in the series and he is playing good B ball. I hope he gets his ring.As a matter of fact I thought that I would never say this but I am rooting for Boston to win the championship. And with Doc Rivers and Ray Allen, Nate, Rondo, and Paul Pierce and the rest of the stars I'm starting to like Boston. I do not hate them anymore.
