NBA: My New York Knicks Association

[Big C-Dub]

are u playing your starters at all in these games?

[mike3]

nah i wrote an article about that, starters wont be seeing minutes in the pre-season. Its all bout the bench players and rookies. Nate has played a few minutes to give players a rest, and i think ive played Chandler once cause so many people were out of energy

Nate To See More Playing Time At Point


Some say playing Nate Robinson at Shooting Guard all last season wasn’t the best lineup for the Knicks. Now that Nate’s role changes to sixth man this season, when its his time to step out on the court he will be playing both PG and SG depending on how the game is going.

It’ll also depend on his team mates, if Butler or Chandler is struggling Nate will most likely play SG while Ramon Sessions will stay at point. But if it’s the other way round and Ramon Sessions is struggling Nate will move to PG. So again, there are many options.

Playing Nate Robinson at Point Guard will probably make Knicks offense more up-tempo than when run by Sessions. So that will give the Knicks two different styles of offense to run during the season. Sessions can probably take control of the court at Point Guard better than Nate but it’ll still benefit the team having that 3rd option at PG.

This won’t mean any more less court time for Knicks main backup PG last season, Eddie House. House will still get plenty of opportunity to see court time at PG.

yeah more PT for nasty nate

[mike3]

Nice moves in the offseason. Espescially waiving Larry Hughes. I've hated him since he failed to bring his 22 PPG to the Cavs. He was supposed to be the Pippen to LBJ's MJ.

Yeah Hughes was playing pretty badly, i think he had one or two 20+ point games.

Nate with more PT. Deserves.

yep

Haha true, i try not to always do post moves with McGee to get him under the basket because all he ever does is dunk it but i was watching highlights of him and thats basically where all his points come from anyways
