hoping to see NateRob

[winsomme]

anybody hoping to see Nate tonight? I actually think ORL is a good match up for him and Rondo clearly needs a little rest.

Nate was brought in to be an energy guy off the bench and that is what I think the Cs need to take this series in 5.

I'm hoping to see him...  in the fourth quarter when we're up by 25.

Regarding the actual rotation, I'm much more hopeful that we'll see a dominant Rondo and a healthy Tony.

That's my hope.




I really want to see Scali.  He is the true victory cigar.

I don't think we need to see a non-dominant Rondo in order to see Nate. I just think we need to think about giving Rondo more of a blow in games and ORL is a pretty good team IMO to use Nate to get that blow....

Overall, Tony has been adequate as a backup point guard.  I'd rather see Doc stick to a tight rotation.

Now, if Tony is still hurting, that's a completely different story.  At that point, I think you bring in Nate or Marquis, depending upon matchups.  Leave Finley on the bench except in end-of-quarter situations.

Beyond garbage time, I don't want to see Nate NoD - ever again in green.

Nate strikes me as the kind of player that could come in and have a Powe type game (prompting the "Pow" comment).

TA has been solid but I like him on the wing....

I'm just getting a little feeling that this could be a good night to give him some PT....certainly not essential that he plays, but I'd just like to see it.

I really would like to see Nate get some burn but his defense really has been atrocious. I think it was Donny who that there is no excuse for Nate to constantly get beat off the dribble due to his world class athleticism. But I think he could give a us a spark. Remember this is the guy who was  benched for an extended period of time and then in his first game back scored 40 points so you never know.

Stick with what got you here. Tight rotation of 8 players and stick with the hot players and don't experiment with Finley, Nate, Marquis, Shelden, or anyone else.

Stick with what got you there and that means the starters and Tony, Baby and Sheed.

Officiating aside, Rondo is exhausted and the offense stagnates with TA at PG.

We need a spark off our bench like ORL is getting from Bass, Pietrus and Reddick.

definitely hoping to see Nate in the second half.

[RIPRED]

I don't want to see Nate.

I was happy with what Nate brought to the floor and hope he gets more PT in game 6. Rondo is clearly a tired guy right now.

The other adjustment I hope Doc makes in game 6 is to play Scals on Lewis when KG is not on the floor. Pierce is a terrible match up for him. They'll just post him up on every possession.
