i repeat, if the dude grew to a different height his game would have developed differently. I never said he wouldn't be a good player. You can't just say that if someone were half a foot taller they would be a better version of themselves like all this shit would happen in a vacuum. if you are too stupid to understand that there is no hope for you.

Ok Mr. If-you're-gonna-make-what-if-statements-they-better-be-as-realistic-as-possible-or-else-you're-regular. All I'm saying is that if Nate Robinson's game was in a slightly taller body, he'd have all-star potential. It's not too hard to imagine a 6 foot guard playing like Nate Robinson. The fact the you even made it a point to insult me because of that statement just goes to show how thirsty you are.

I disagree. I enjoyed watching Nate when he was with the Dubs. But he is a pretty high risk player, and I do not see 12 inches helping him be more consistent in the ways he contributes to his teams. �Definitely fun to watch. �At times he seems to have all star potential but he also makes some mistakes that keep you scratching your head. �He's like that kid at your local park who does sick shit that gets you hyped, but then he just keeps going to the point where you are no longer impressed.

lol get the fuck outta here I saw that weak ass attempt of a first post you should just kept quiet. In my original post I clearly said "If he was at least 6 feet tall..." Dude is listed as 5'9, so I have no idea why yall actin as if i said he were to move up to power forward or some shit. 3 to 6 inches means he's still a small guard that relies on the same strengths he already has to be effective, but isnt terribly undersized compared to the average NBA player. YOU NIGGAS are the one's whose brains arent functioning, seeing as how you fail to read throughly before tryna come at me with the most irrelevant shit. Nate Robinson at 6'3 is nowhere close to Shaq playing point guard or Yao Ming being 2 feet taller. it is a maximum 6 inch height difference. Theoretically speaking, (the key words to this whole debate) i highly doubt his game would be that much different than it is now, aside from being able to attack the rim thru even more bodies & not being as much of a defensive liability.
that was easy.

Indiana got a great shot at the ECF..  Indiana vs Miami and SA vs Memphis

OKC is just shit, reggie jackson and Fisher on the floor at the same time is recipe for disaster. 2 close games at home vs Memphis is a panic button

As was pointed out earlier, Nate Rob's biggest disadvantage is not his height but his brain. Having slightly more length isn't necessarily going to make you a better defender if you can't defend for shit in the first place.

Plus, if he was tall he wouldn't be able to do hilarious stuff like this.

Nate is a sideshow, he goes from team to team bringing his energy and quickness. Perfect fit for chicago, they have no other shooters and Nate can distribute the ball. He is playing out of his mind the last few months... I just can't buy in after watching his entire uneventful career on every team in the NBA

man, you don't have to get personal calling me hurtful names like "Mr. If-you're-gonna-make-what-if-statements-they-better-be-as-realistic-as-possible-or-else-you're-regular". that's just crossing the line. If you don't think Nate Robinson would be a different player if he was in a different body then you are on Tracers level of basketball understanding.

I've been right about everything except the Denver series. Who knew Denver would brick every FT + Curry would go off for 50 points?

O RLY? Remember these gems?

Regardless, NBA has the script that keeps atleas 1 LA team advancing past the 1st round. Besides that LAC has Chris paul, and 3 point shooting. Would say dunking but that's not a huge advantage

Good luck Mike Conley and gasol, these dudes are going ot get RAPED in clippland

Stoked on the Warrior's they're playing with a lot of poise for a young team. My Bulls got fuckin trampled but I guess you can expect that with a re-inspired Heat team in Miami with a depleted roster. Both teams 1-1 going back to their homecourt makes both series very interesting.

Don;t know the chances of D ROSE playing. But hope he does.

But instead he floppd on a shove even though it was definitely going to lead to an ejection either way. Lebron's a pussy. Remember when he was complaining about Kirk Hinrich fouling too hard? The dude is a fucking freight train going through the lane and Hinrich was trying to protect himself. I guess that's the kind of attitude you develop when ESPN decides your an all-star already when you're a junior in high school.

And Nate Robinson is an incredible player when he is hot like in game 1, but he's very streaky. He also takes a lot of dumb shots for example he went 1-7 from three and his lone 3-pointer was 6 feet outside line. It's exactly what the Bulls need to win 3 more against the Heat.

It has been a really exciting series and I'm looking forward to game 4.

I wouldn't exactly call Lebron a "pussy" but you gotta man up in situations like that and take a swing. He literally got shoved to the ground and just stood there like it don't even matter. I wonder if a James jones type will be sent in to put a hit on Nazr next game.. because Lebron is "too valuable to his team" (NOT, Heat are still the best team without him)

This Memphis game is getting heated, crazy how slow OKC plays without Russ Memphis taking full advantage

anybody hating on the refs in the bulls game... should realize they missed like 20 free throws.. lebron had a bad night and still beat them easily. the bulls cant play dirty shoving people on the ground and trying to fight people and then complain about the refs
