I been listening to alot of Media-Critics and Knick-Fans chew Nate Robinson apart about his young raw erratic style of play on the NBA court.
This is the same young 5.8 or 5.9 player that has unbleivable HOPS on the court, inwhich his erratic defensive Zone play upset top PG's in the NBA like Nash, Kidd, Billups, and Arenas from taking complete control of the game.
Nate Robinson is the same Rookie Player that had so many Knick-Fans in the Garden jump out of their seats cheering at his athletic talents on the court.

Last offseason when Nate & Crawford played for the Seattle Street-Ball Team their performance was AWESOME on any and all levels each game.
When Nate & Crawford performed with David Lee & Balkman in the Preseason games their was'nt an oposition unit that could stop them on either-sides of the court.
When Head Coach Isiah Thomas used these four players off the bench at the same time (Nate, Crawford, Balkman, Lee, with any 5th man) at the start of the regular season, I had to give Isiah BIG-PROPS on his young bench players hustling awareness to outscore the majority (if not all) of their oponents.
However, Coach Isiah five Starters at that time (Marbury, Francis, Q.Rich, Frye, and Curry) needed much NEEDED HELP (in everthing)!!!

P.S. so all this talk of trading Nate and the 23rd pick to get another Guard, when the Knicks have "FIVE" efficient guards that can lead this team to the playoffs every season if matched up right if they stop with the "Three-Guard-Unit" when they should be playing the majority of their games with a "Three-Foward-Unit" for the WIN it won't look bad for the Marbury/Crawford, or Francis/Collins tandems, because Nate outside shooting and drive in the lane could play alongside of all the Knick Guards as a Tandem not a tripple-Guard threat without a ZONE-Defense added.

Da Grinch

no team can win playing 5 guards, players need continuity and rhythm, and that would create too much trouble.

Just incase:
Dont knock the streetball technique especially when it is a backcourt Tandem (Nate &Craw) with two hustling rebounders (Lee & Balkman) comming off the bench to add hustling speed in the game.
It becomes hard for Knick oposition scouts to learn how to read the Knicks chemistry of players.
If the Knicks starting backcourt of Marbury & Francis had worked in well alongside of frontcourt Curry & Frye the Knicks would've had 8-Players that could change the tempo of the game according to their oposition making the Knicks in total control over 70% of the NBA teams in the league. Not to many teams in the NBA could do that.
How President/Coach Isiah Thomas did not know that the matching of Marbury & Francis, and the matching of Curry & Frye did not work at all on offense and defense after training camp and the Preseason Practices says something about his coaching technique.

The Knicks have a ROSTER of a TWO-Unit team! they do not have a roster with a single star player that gets 25 point per game. The 30 MPG given to Marbury, Crawford, and Curry was their down fall the last two seasons. Maybe if they had Ariza & Lee in that 30 MPG UNIT with those three strictly offensive players they could have built some chemistry system to make them a 500% team during the season. But still they would have needed the 18 MPG Nate, Q.Rich, Frye, Balkman, and Francis or Collins off the bench. This Knicks Roster know matter how you put it is a TWO-UNIT team...

The 1999 NBA FINALS between the Knicks vs Spurs were supposed to be the Knicks in 6 games.
If the 8th seeded Knicks did not beat the Mighty Pat Riley Miami Heat with the unstoppable healthy Alonzo Morning that season their was NO way on this earth that the Spurs old 22 MPG David Robinson, young Duncan, Malik Rose, and Avery Johnson, would have beat Miami in any series.
It took all of the Knicks Patrick Ewing, Camby, K-Thomas, Herb Williams, Sprewell, Chris Childs, and Allan Houston Last second Shot in the seven game to beat the BEST team in the league that season the Miami Heat.
If the Knicks would not have beat the Heat in the first round the Knicks Head Coach JVG would have been FIRED the day after the Knicks were eliminated for fighting Knick G.M. Ernie Grunfield. After that first round Knick Win Sorry A$$ Sore Patrick EWING bailed out of the rest of the Post Season games with a so-call injury, because he did not want to WIN a Championship without his Homeboy buddies Oakley & Starks who been traded for Camby & Sprewell whom added SPEED on bothsides of the court with old slow (halfcourt) Ewing.
The most important part of the 1999 NBA Finals was if the Spurs lost in the FINALS they would not have built the team around 7.0 Duncan as a PF with C-David Robinson retiring. The Spurs would have went whole different direction with their roster putting Duncan at center replacing David Robinson whom retired after that season....
