Nate's second last game with the Knicks

[P2]

Just check it out and explain to me how Nate was not a big acquisition.

LeBron was bananas in this game, however.

This shows two things:

1) Nate is going to be a ridiculously huge upgrade over House offensively.

2) Lebron has 100% carried the Cavs to a lot of their wins. If they ever had to play without Lebron like we've played with Pierce and KG, the Cavs wouldn't even with 35% of their games.

Wait a minute... Nate can do more than just dunk?!

What I meant to say is that he will have a bigger impact than people might think. I'm talking about 6th man of the year impact.

i believe the 4th and 3rd would be Nate...time thats usually when we run dry on offense.

I agree with the above statement about him being the Sixth Man of the Year. Great player, would start on almost any other team, and is very, very athletic.

I like the optimism of the thread.  The upside to bringing Nate here should be clear. He can really change the tempo of a game and has the capacity to revitalize a stagnating offense.  That just happens to be a huge need for the C's. 

He also has never played on a team with as many weapons as the C's -- which should make him even more effective.  That said, I don't agree with the statement that he'd start on almost any other team -- he didn't start for the Knicks.  He was made for sparking a team off the bench like Arte 'Hambone' Williams did many years ago for the C's -- though Nate has skills Hambone only dreamed about.

I completely agree... I wasn't mocking you, I was mocking the fans that think all Nate can do is dunk and will be a bad addition and he isn't an upgrade over House.

How do you box someone out who's not as tall as your arms? I love Nate highlights because he comes of the high pick...disappears in a crowd of bodies, then reappears in mid-air to throw in a lay-up.

Great video of Nate's highlights.

The thing I like about Nate is that he always seems to have a chip on his shoulder...that fire will help us out as well.

Yeah, this team could use a chip or two on its shoulder.
