Game 5 = 4pts and 4ast in 10 mins
Game 4 = 12pts and 3ast

For the series is is shooting 47%fg and 44% 3pt fg in 10mins per game !!!!!!

Nobody has to admit or own up to anything with Nate. He is who he has always been. He is not proving anyone wrong. He is just being used the right way. He is a luxury sparkplug on a good team. Good for them.

So be the Knicks to send someone else again to a team much better and can be part of a NBA title
team even as so the hated Celtics.

Knicks don't look too good here

What self hatred are you talking about ?
explain ?

I love Nate and hated to see him go to a foe in your division.
I dont care about Knicks record and not being elite if you like someone whom performed on your
team > than his abilities go to a foe come back and beat your team's tail (division) then I
dont know what to say about Knick fans

This is ridiculous! It has alot to do with Knicks. Makes the trade look even better though
B.Walker turned to be a good player for a bad knick team, but a building block if he stays as a
role player.

Good for Celtics and I dont even like em.

Game 4 win: big 4th quarter with Baby to carry them home

Game 5 win: Driving layup and a couple 4th quarter assists in 4 minutes, helped hold the fort while Rondo rested and actually extended the lead by 1

He's helped them in all three 4th quarters of their wins in this series. It's not a stretch to say that minus Nate, this series could easily be 3-2 the other way. The games have been that tight and hes executed at vital points

In their 3 wins, hes actually played more combined 4th quarter minutes than Rondo.

It's a stretch.

No its not. Hes impacted the 4th quarter in all 3 of their wins, game 2 and 4 pretty heavily. Its not a stretch whatsoever to say the outcome of one of those games could have been different if he did not do his thing in the 4th. Game 2 that 7 point outburst was absolutely vital

Hes played 19 of a possible 36 4th quarter minutes in their 3 wins. More than Rondo. To say its a stretch that his play may have changed the outcome of at least one of these is silly. Rondo may be the MVP of this series if Boston wins, yet in their 3 wins he's been watching more than playing in the 4th quarter (of course, he does close the game out though and has in all 3). Nate has had an impact

Yeah...maybe you should write to Donnie about this guy. Maybe he can be the second MAX FA we are looking for!!

I don't think that anyone, even his biggest critics, has ever denied that Nate had/has ability.

The problem is that he is a knucklehead, who cannot play for a team without the kind of veteran leadership the Celtics have, and if given free reign, he will hurt a team more than he helps it.

Except for a few moments in this series, Nate has played under control- something quite uncharacteristic in his stay with the Knicks, and it has nothing to do with coaching styles, but all to do with "peer pressure." You may dislike the Celtics as a team or as individuals, but they have 4 strong leaders in their starting lineup who will back up their coach and put Nate in his place if he acts up.

The knicks, on the other hand, have had little, if any, leaders on the team during the years Nate played for us. We have been critical of Isiah, and Donnie for many things, but nobody has really talked about the fact that we have not acquired players in their prime with team leadership ability. A few fading vets with some playoff pedigree, and a lot of head cases, but few leaders. I love D. Lee for a lot of things, but as far as leading and controlling a team- he has shown little ability.

I think that Gallo and Douglas have leadership capabilities, but they are both too young at this point to control a guy like Nate. In fact we are better off without a guy like Nate to influence the younger players on the team.

I always thought that Nate had the raw ability, even with his size limitation, to be a fine PG in this league. Still do, to some extent, but to get too excited over a few games with the Celtics and close your eyes to the way he performed in 5 years with the Knicks shows me a disquieting lack of perspective and understanding of basketball and team sports in general.

Didnt you say "The Knicks don't look too good here"?

Knicks came out ahead in the trade IMO because Bill Walker is signed cheap for next year.

Celtics are happy with the trade too. I see a fair trade.

So why does one side have to "not look too good"?
