Great win, but Nate jumping over Pierce and falling had me laughing pretty hard.

I was laughing at that too while the refs were reviewing STAT's shot.

The craziest part is how high Nate can jump, look at his second leap, how effortlessly he got up there.

Does it occur to anyone that as small as Nate is relative to his teammates, the guy is a solid 180 pounds -- only about 60 pounds less than Pierce.  It may look like a toddler jumping on a giant, but there is no doubt in my mind that his weight, when hurling himself 5 feet in the air and running full speed could hurt a teammate (not to mention himself as he almost did tonight).  I'm not big on this Donkey on Shrek thing as an on-going theme.

Nate needs to be careful with that jumping on people's backs habit. I don't want anyone pulling an ab muscle.

Thankfully he didn't get hurt.  That probably would have topped (in a bad way) TA's dunk after the whistle if he did.

180 is 180.

But I guess he is solid because of how compact he is. I also heard a few years ago that he could bench double his body weight. I wouldn't want that guy landing on my shoulders lol, but then again I'm not 6'6"+ and a professional athlete.
