Are you rooting for Nate Robinson?

I'm running late and my internet's down, so I'm posting this pirate-style before I leave. Last night, after the Celtics win, Marc Berman twat the following:
You're not a Knick fan if you can't feel good for Nate Robinson tonight.
Now, I get the sentiment and am personally rooting for Nate, at least for the most part. I would guess, though, that plenty of hardcore Knicks fans aren't pulling for the little fellow in these playoffs. If, for instance, you found his in-game demeanor off-putting in New York, your perception of Nate likely hasn't changed much.
Disregarding (if you can) how you feel about the Celtics and Lakers, are you rooting for Nate Robinson the Celtic? The discussion of whether former Knicks hold a place in our hearts is always interesting, and I'd bet that Robinson is a particularly divisive expat. Place your vote in the poll below and share your thoughts in the comments. Have excellent days, y'all.

I am rooting against him, but for the Celtics
I hate Kobe. I hope Nate breaks his leg in practice today, but the Celtics go on to win the series.

What A *&^$$#!
You must be a Boston fan or one of D’Antoni bend over buddies.
I root for Nate to score 50
and the Celtics lose. Whenever I’ve seen Nate go off for the Celtics, yea..I forget that he’s got that ugly ass uniform on and cheer like I’ve always did for Nate, I can’t help it.
The Celtics are sacks of shit..the Lakers are truckloads of shit sacks. I hope Pierce gets vaginal candidiasis. I hope Gasol gets a hysterectomy at halftime. I wish they’d disqualify the finals as being infected by bandwagoning.
…But the bright light is Nate. I root for Nate. But Boston must lose.
Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit
i honestly
could care less who wins this series.
I dont really have much hate for either team. I cant stand Chicago, Miami and Indiana personally.
although I do hate philly… but that is a carry over from baseball… is that why so many of you hate the Celtics? Because of the NY-Boston rivalry with the Yanks and RedSox?
I am a fan of both the mets and knicks... so just kill me now.
for the most part I don't like the sports team from any city that's a rival with mine.
I hate all Philly sports teams, tho the Sixers seem harmless..and when they were good, I always liked AI. Tho Philly and Boston are really the only ones to “hate”, cuz really..the teams in Tampa, Washington, Dallas, etc., really other then that rival, are harmless (tho I don’t like the Mets and Jets…)
The Celtics are different. Wasn’t but a few years ago they were the joke of the NBA. So much a joke they almost made the Knicks seem decent. Then one draft night, a KG and a Ray-Ray …and its all forgotten.
Why the Celtics? How come a team with so much history goes and gets these guys? Why can’t the Knicks have gotten KG and Ray Allen?
The Lakers can eat shit too for how they were handed Gasol. Fine, they had Shaq yey years ago, but that was fine cuz it was relatively a fair trade.
ALso, the Celtics are in the Knicks division.

I'm a big Kobe fan and would rather see the Lakers win
but how can you not root for Nate? I haven’t been around long enough to consider the Celtics a hated rival….if anything, I hate the Heat and Pacers more. I hope he continues to have a good series and if he wins a ring I would be happy for him….he was def one of my favorites among the recent Knick players….always brough energy and heart to the floor.
I like to mock the Celtics.
They don’t play Nate enough. I root for Nate to do well but for the Celtics to lose.
Darrelle Revis once won a game of Connect Four in three moves.
I think i am just partial to ex knicks that were drafted here
except for Jamal Crawford! for some reason i cant root for him
I like cookies
so I ALMOST voted for that option… but the first part made me feel way too dirty. But I’m def pullin’ for Nate and was happy he got some important burn last night.
I'm glad Nate is getting some Finals time but,
you can see his immaturity is still alive and well when he got T-ed up for getting in Odom’s face.
Yea, his immaturity is there but..
he doesnt show out. Instead of showing flashes of calmness like he didi in NY.. he shows flashes of immaturity in Boston. i.e.. in his post game interviews… u dont here any jokes or shake n bakes… u just here him saying he is blessed and is for the team and how they won b/c of team.
Now that doesnt mean DA doesnt preach team.. I just think that everyone learns things at some point in life, and nate learned what not do do from being in ny and under Isaiah T
Toney does what the douglas do. And no one can do what he does b/c doing it without being Toney Douglas just doesnt make it do what it do
I think Doc Rivers is much better with Nate and Nate wants to win but D'Antoni was all like 'I have to be a taskmaster do this!'
and Nate was all like ‘I do what I want’ and shot at the opponent’s basket and got benched for a little while.
Go Rockets/Nets[CDR]/Bucks[Jennings]!
and i voted the latter.
…..i like cookies :)
I cant bake em worth a daym, but maybe seths’ cookies are good….pause
Toney does what the douglas do. And no one can do what he does b/c doing it without being Toney Douglas just doesnt make it do what it do
Knick coach vs Nate
The coach doesnt know how to manage players that are difficult, you and I could have coached Nash. The coach has a mean streak and carries a grudge to the detriemnt of the team
ehh
you get a new job, your first job actually.. and ur boss is a laid back slob who doesnt really care what you do as long as you show up and work. You do this for a few years actually and as this time goes by u see characters of this type join the team. Nonchalant coaching, blah blah blah.. but then you get a new boss who does things 100% different from what your used to.. You’re like fk them, transfer me!! But you get transferred to Microsoft working for bill gates. — You telling me your not gonna do everything and anything not to fuck up a chance at that job-aka-championship ring?
Toney does what the douglas do. And no one can do what he does b/c doing it without being Toney Douglas just doesnt make it do what it do
Actually
Nate had problems with 4 different coaches here. I still have affection for Nate, but it wasn’t just D’Antoni’s problem with Nate either.

Remember
one of those coaches was Isiah… nuff said.
The knicks had neither veteran presence to keep nate in line, nor the coach to utilize his talent
It ain’t easy being a knick fan in LA
folks let's not pull a Berman and use Nate to put a knife
in D’Antoni’s back. Doc Rivers is treating Nate just the way D’Antoni did. Nate had 19 straight DNPCD for the Celtics. Then Doc was forced to use him in Game 6 and he played well, so Doc like D’Antoni is riding the hot horse. Remember nate had a few good games in a row, then D’Antoni is starting him. That lasted two games, Nate played like crap, back on the bench. Doc is doing the same thing. The difference is their is leadership on that team and even Robinson realizes that if he keeps his mouth shut and goes along with the program, he might just end up with a championship ring! Now if in Game five nate takes a bunch of bad shots, get roasted on defense, and has like 7 turnovers, he will go to the bench and never be heard from again.

Nate reaches a certain # of games, a team had to pay double his salary in luxury tax.

yea, kinda of a different situation
In Boston Nate is competing against Rondo for playing time, here he backed up doo doo Duhon. I don’t care how you slice it, Dantoni has or had a problem managing personnel and may have hurt the team just to prove his point with the Nate drama.
Not saying that means he should be fired or anything, but it’s something to keep an eye on.

im flipflopping on this
was rooting for nate originally, but i honestly just dont like him or his style anymore. That’s me though. Happier than ever that he’s gone.

Yea
Nate legit irks me. His shtick is too cute and his bonehead plays are maddening. I always thought the Knicks should have ditched him as a player and hired him as a mascot instead.

Nate Da Great
Darn right I’m rooting for Nate. Nate was a Knick from his very first game in the NBA till a few months ago. He has played around 312 games as a Knick and only around 26 as a Celtic. Nate told his agent he only wanted to sign with NY in the off season. Nate is as much a Knick as any player we have now. You go get em Nate. You are still a Knick in many fans hearts!!!! Show them your NY swagger!!!
How could any Knicks fan possibly not root for Nate?
Its impossible not to root for him, even though he is wearing that hideous Celtics green. He LOVED playing in NY and always gave it his all. Yes, he was immature and out of control at times, but at least he brought some energy which is something that the team desperately lacked. I also think that not having a veteran presence really hurt his development as a player. I loved how Ray Allen got right in his face after the T. That never would have happened here, because the Knicks don’t have anyone that commands respect the way Allen, Pierce, or KG does. I’m still happy about the trade though. I like Nate a lot, but Walker has shown a ton of potential, and he isn’t even in great shape yet. I think the sky is the limit for that guy. He has great size, athleticism, and shooting ability, plus he had some NASTY dunks this year. I love his aggressive attitude. The Knicks need more of that.

Nate Robinson
At some point last year Nate became from favorite Knick along with David Lee. The when D’Antoni just didn’t see the talent that he had, I became a huge Nate fan. How many people
realize that last season, when he played almost every game, he averaged 30 minutes, 17
points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, and not many turnovers either. What “antics” did he do a lot that actually hurt the team? By D’Antoni’s reaction to the shot at the wrong basket you would think it counted! I feel a star was born at Madison Square Garden in the 2008-2009 season
and the player’s coach didn’t even realize it, with the fans following suit.
CLYDENATE
Mixed feelings
love nate as a player but I can’t stand the Celtics. I hate Kobe, but I also root for Artest as well. Really, I could care less who wins cause it won’t be us but having so many dynamic players in these Finals make it interesting.
On another note…
Will someone help me understand why despite Nate Robinson’s obvious talents people choose to harp on his “immaturity”.
Yet fans seem to have no problem at all clamoring for Lebron and his dance moves to come to NY. I guess when Lebron shows up the other team it’s just passion for the game huh?

Not everyone
And the issue with Nate, it seemed to me, was we seemed to lose more games than win with Nate on the floor, especially early in the season, which made it annoying when he was going off, then celebrating or posing while the other team was pushing it downcourt. He appeared to value personal production over equaling his offensive effort on defense and though his numbers were solid at times, he was inconsistent in giving an overall team effort. That being said, Nate was fun to watch at times and I liked him, and I’ll root for him, but can care less about the outcome of the playoffs. Doc’s got it down with Nate right now, he’s good in small doses when you unleash him. Nate’s only real issue is keeping focus.
if nate could back up the talk like LBJ can
it wouldnt be as big a talking point for anyone.
And some do call LBJ out on it. But when you put up the numbers like LBJ does, it makes it harder to criticize.
I am a fan of both the mets and knicks... so just kill me now.
lol LBJ to the knicks. The knicks have no core, lets face it he either stays in Cleveland or goes with Brooklyn.
face my nuts...
the fluuck kind of core to the Nets or Cavs have? Devin Harris? Brook Lopez? Yi? YI!!?? That’s such a great core…worst record in the league.
MO williams? Big Z? Is Sczerbiak still there? Shaq? What is this core?
That pea brained sack of shit is gonna go where he wants to go. He’ll stay home in Cleveland, try and copy MJ in Chicago, or he’ll try and run NY in NY, not with the expansion Nets.

u dont know what your talking about. Brook Lopez is the 3rd best center in the league, Harris is an all star point guard, ive seen twill rip apart the knicks 3 times, Clee and CDR are potential all stars. LeBron has already mentioned how much he love the Nets new billinaire owner, not to mention his best friend is, ven thoug minority, owner of the nets, theyre moving to Brooklyn ad have a coach LeBron actually likes. The Knicks ahve ntohing except David lee and when the Nets take him form you too what r u left with? Even more than nothing.
Avery Johnson?
LOL!
Brook Lopez put up those numbers cuz the rest of the team sucked. The points had to be scored from somewhere.
I don’t care what Twill did to the Knicks..they had no defense. Courtney Lee and CDR are potential all-stars? Well…by taht metric, so are Toney Douglas and Bill Walker.
So, he likes the Nets owner. Wow.
They’re moving to Brooklyn in 2 years the earliest. They’re still in shitty Newark for those years, and I doubt he wants to avoid bullets and smell swamp.
The Nets don’t have anything. If this core was any good, the Nets would be semi-decent. They sucked with this “core”.

Wrong Again?
The Nets had sooooooo many injuries that contribute to their sad season of 12.
Now if they draft D.Cousins to play PF and Coach A.Johnson puts the backcourt of D.Harris/C.D.Roberts together you will have something.
2010 Nets When Healthy will do very well.
PF/D.Cousins (Not D.Favors)
C/B.Lopez
SG/C.D.Roberts
PG/D.Harris
What they need to do is draft also key players for the rotation.
Maybe buy into the draft and get a few number ones and stay young.
Use our other picks to move up and get the followin talent to contribute.
SF/W.Johnson (Next S.Pippen)
SF/P.George
SF/D.James (Next B.Bownes)
Trade C.Lee and Yi with picks to get young talent for the ten man rotation of talent.
lol...
I hope the Nets do draft Cousins. That lazy fat bastard is gonna be as big a bust as Eddy Curry.

No! No!
Watch you mouth baby.
Unlike E.Curry, D.Cousins has heart along with talent.
You cannot teach heart.
What do you with trash:
Answer:
Throw it in the garbage.
E.Curry is going to the garbage and D.Cousins is going to be a top flight PF next to B.Lopez.
I have said this in the past many times. D.Cousins is C.Barkley with six inches more in height.
They both played the game with heart. If you have to teach this quality you are only fooling yourself.
He has it just watch.
E.Curry give me a break.
Your a sick puppy sometimes.
Go Brooklyn Nets! Go Brooklyn Nets!
Yeah lazy?
Played only 22 minutes a game and average a double/double.
Yeah lazy?
Right.
Cousins is over 300lbs right now
he’s a lazy fat bastard who’s gonna copy the career of Eddy Curry.
Especially once he gets that NBA paycheck.
I hope the Nets draft him.

Go look it up yourself
Cousins is fat. And it was a constant that the guy was a brain dead moron at Kentucky.
He’s exactly like Curry. Great physical talent that if he had anything between his ears, he’d be a very good NBA player. But Cousins WILL fail, he just doesn’t have it.
You even said it..he average 22 minutes a game. That’s damn near only half the game….that sucks.

really dude?
You’re gonna come over here and boast about how much better the future is in New Jersey than in NY? The only thing you can say that would be dumber is talking about how the Nets are full of future all-stars. Oh Terrence Williams is a star now, huh? And yeah, Chris Douglas-Roberts is gonna move the rest of the Eastern all-stars aside so he can get some burn, right? You know what? At least in NY we don’t bullshit ourselves into thinking each of our players is a God. We love Toney Douglas as much as anyone, but nobody talks about him becoming the best PG in the league. We don’t bullshit ourselves into believing Gallo is better than Dirk. THIS is why LeBron James will NOT be going to NJ. Brooklyn or Newark. Your team is full of shit and oversold. Stop comin over here to argue about who is better when its really who is less worse. Or at least bring something interesting to say.
He loves the new owner, huh? Fucking James loves every team right now. The more teams to fight over him and keep him in the spotlight, the better.
Oh and nice that you still love Devin Harris. Before the lottery kicked you in the balls, he was tradebait and mentally replaced by John Wall. Nice loyalty.
You guys don’t even have the right Lopez. Sideshow Robin in Phoenix is better.

Calm Down
A.Johnson will bring the team together.
D.Harris and C.D.Roberts will be the starting backcourt next season.
T.Williams is not going to be a star as you say. He will be a solid addition towards future championships in Brooooooklyn.
Now lets just hope R.Thorn wakes up and trades Yi, C.Lee and future picks so we can get more solid talent in this years draft.
W.Johnson baby!
fucking wake up already
a johnson will bring the team together- optimism
d harris and cdr will start- is this a selling point?
You go from saying twill will be a all star to he is a solid addition for future
hope that thorn trades yi and c. lee??
your a clown. I understand you being a fan like the rest of us.. but you have a HUGE problem in separating realism with fantasy.

Dude
Get real. CLee is not going to be an all star. His role is playing D and putting up a nice shooting percentage. No way this dude ever averages 20 a game.
If
if you know talent like you indicated regarding C.Lee. Then concentrate on the draft regarding the Nets needs.
We need all of the folowing:
D.Cousins
W.Johnson
P.George
D.James
go after Cousins
and a year from now when you realize he is the next Kwame Brown/Marcus Beasley, remember ho told you first.
And when Terence Williams gets benched again for complaining about minutes, and Devin Harris goes down for another month with another sprained ankle, and Courtney Lee gets the green light but shoots 35% for two weeks, then just remember these posts, man. These holes on BOTH NY and NJ are not the simple fixes that you constantly post. High draft picks aren’t simply purchased. Drafting young guys doesn’t automatically translate into playoff wins. Having an owner with tons of money does not guarantee that he will spend it wisely. Having a huge free agent class doesn’t mean they will sign with your team.

how
do the nets get cousins and johnson? trading yi and a 2nd rounder wont do it. besides, even if the nets did manage to get all 4 mentioned players, nj still wouldnt be in the top 4 in the east.
brook lopez, thats how
he is going to average 30 points, 15 rebounds, 4 blocks, and 5 assists per game. and devin harris is gonna be at his freewheeling best and will probably average 25 points, 9 assists and probbly 3 steals a game.
chris dougberts-roblas is gonna put up about 18 a game. 20 from coutrney lee. cousins will step in and get porbably 15 and 10, with 4 blocks. wesley johnson is gonna average 18 a game. terence willliams will do all the dirty work 3 steal/3blocks, probably 8 boards a game.
and of course, they’ll sign lebron. so, they’ll be best in the east, maybe not the nba. but the east for sure.

You sir are a true moron
1) LeBron to the Nets because a) he likes Avery Johnson, b) loves that Billionaire owner, and c) he’s buddies with Jay-Z. d) The Nets are moving to Brooklyn. E) Harris, CDR, Lee, and Lopez are great pieces in your mind. That’s your reasoning? Watch as I deconstruct your argument:
a) Avery Johnson is no better of a basketball coach than Mike Brown, neither coach won an NBA Title in their only trip the finals, and both coaches have blown postseasons where their teams were they #1 team in the NBA: Cleveland in both 09 and 10, and Dallas in 07.
b) Great the Nets owner is a billionaire, big whoop. This isn’t Major League Baseball where the owners with the deepest pockets can change the culture of a team dramatically over night. Hell, there is this thing known as a salary cap. Sorry to say it, but you won’t become the Yankees of the NBA just because you have a billionaire owner.
c) He’s best buds with Jay-Z. Neat, what’s that supposed to do? Is LeBron suppposed to automatically just sell his career out for the sake of on celebrity friendship? Even Jay-Z has come out and stated that he’s is not going to make a sales pitch to LeBron about the Nets. This was the quote I read about a week ago: [Jay-Z] “I am not going to make a sales pitch to LBJ because I don’t want business and friendship to mix, I don’t want to be in the situation where we (THE NETS) are 3-40 and have to run into him (LBJ) and have to say I’m sorry.”
d) The Nets are moving to Brooklyn; what do you want a cookie? Any respectful NBA free-agent who wants to come play in New York is not going to take a 2-3 year detour and rationalize that “Oh well, Newark is close enough for now.” LeBron’s nike contract has an escalator clause that says he gets % increase in his endorsement deal if he plays for the Knicks, Bulls, or a Los Angeles team. Thus, if he’s going to New York, he’s going to play where his Nike endorsement contract increases, and he’s going to go where he can dominate billboards in Manhattan. If LeBron goes to the Nets he won’t have his likeness all over NYC until the vagabond Nets ultimately move to Brooklyn. He’s not going to cost himself money that he can earn now.
e) Are we really going to have this pissing contest about which team has the better pieces? I may not think the Knicks as presently constructed are the greatest collection of talent since the 90’s Bulls or the 50-60’s Celtics but judging by the way the Knicks have played the past 2 seasons, I think it’s safe to say our roster is better than your pathetic roster. At least we didn’t have the worst record in the league the past season. Our team actually had moments the past two years were you could see the future isn’t so bleak, and that too, it was with a collection of 2 round picks, and castaways from other teams. Your team might have some name recognition but what did that get you? Devin Harris is an above average point guard at best. Courtney Lee will be lucky if his career peaks out to equal the 2009-2010 Vince Carter, point being he’s not that great. Brook Lopez is a poor man’s David Lee at best, and honestly, I’d rather have Robin Lopez. Chris Douglas Roberts, pffffffffft, as Ed Lover says on youtube.com, “C’MON SON, GTFOH with that BS!”

Additionally,
Jay-Z is only 1% owner of the NETS, that some pull he has within that organization. What does it say about his interest in that 1% stake when you can still see him present at Knicks games/

His new Nike does not have any clauses or increases for LeBron to play in New York, Chicago or Los Angeles.

something about the 2010 Celtics...
…that you can’t help but root for. besides, there hasn’t been a genuine Knicks-Celtics rivalry for a really long time anyway. i think the only way i would have found myself rooting for the Lakers in this finals is if the Cavs made it. i would’ve been fine with either the Magic or the Celtics.
but as far as rooting for nate goes i think i’d be rooting for any former Knick in the playoffs. its great to see that nates finally getting minutes and doing well. hopefully he can get his performance bonus.
I can't lie
the way the Celtics play, even for the most part Pierce (he’s taken down the pussy screaming on every shot this year I noticed) is the way you want basketball to be played.
The Lakers play boneheaded basketball, especially Artest. They’re not gonna have a chance tonight if Kobe is the only one who came to play again.
The refs tried to make the last game, a game, and they still couldn’t come back cuz the rest of the Lakers are clits.
