He totally got in Fisher's head in the second half. He was denying Fisher the ball full court and kept bumping him and chesting him up. A couple of times fisher pushed him away and it was clear that he was totaly frustrated. The 12 points were awesome, but I believe his defense on Fisher totally took him out of the game. Way to go, Nate. Wordapp.

Nate gives a great interview too with Baby. Great combo. Shrek and Donkey!

Big Baby actually has the kind of charisma "The Rock" has. Could see him doing some acting.

Yes,indeed! Nate may not be the tallest basketball player but he is extremely intimidating. He is totally SOLID. Personally I would not want to get in his way. When Nate first came, I thought maybe the guy's a little too cocky and hogs the ball, but he has learned to integrate his talents and personality into our team personality. Last night in the post interview, he was honest and to the point and I really like that. He's certainly gained my respect.

He's a tremendous all-around athlete. Twice in the past few games, he went into a scrum on the floor and came out with the ball. This is no coincidence in that he has had specific training in this. Did you see him roll and wrestle the ball away?

Nate (as a freshman) was a starting defensive back for the Pac-10 Washington Huskies. He started every game as a freshmanand wasn't afraid to hit and take hits from big OGs and OTs.The kid has big stones and won't back down. (That's why he got the T when he went back into Odom's face.)Standing up to Odom was my favorite  Nate moment last night.

Nate is tough as nails, you guys see him take those hard body fouls absorb the contact and still get the ball up. Awesome stuff.

I like the sudden shift in offense that Nate provides. His mix of inside/outside and energy throw the Lakers off their game plan on Rondo.

The Lakers have the top 2 weapons in the series, but the Celtics have more weapons.
