He's been double-digit points in his last 4 games and gone 26 of 34. He's also averaging 10 rebounds and 3 blocks during that span, in just over 20 minutes per game. A flash-in-the-pan or maybe Chris Andersen has showed him something about efficiency and playing without the ball.
He's always had a lot of talent. The Kings drafted him and gave him a lot of rope but he was way too much of a knucklehead to make it in the league at the time. Glad he seems to have gotten his act together.
I'd take Nate over Jameer any day.Nelson has a player option next year. Robinson is a free agent. Celtics are going to buy out Robinson so they get cap relief next year and some cash savings this year.Kev4029 said:

In the first half, 11 points on 5-5, with 4 rebounds and 3 blocks in just 11 minutes. There's not too much for Heat fans to get excited about until 2016.
In watching "The Association", it's quite obvious this guy enjoys the sound of his own voice. They showed a Cavs practice--a half-court practice--and he couldn't shut up for more than two seconds.
I don't think Nelson is the better player anymore, but that is really besides the point. They took on additional salary this year (doesn't matter because they are well over the cap and under the tax) and next year (ultimately, even if they dump some salary before the trade deadline, they'll probably be capped out next year as well), while apparently trying to improve their team. Improving from the 10th worst team to the 12th worst team does nothing other than give them a worse pick in the draft this year, and if they some how could make the playoffs, it lowers both their pick and possibly the OKC pick they just acquired.Nelson has a player option next year.

Denver sends Chandler to Toronto for Landry Fields and 2 2nd rounds picks.
I would do that if I were the Nuggets. The Raptors would probably want to include a little more salary to stay below the tax. Maybe substitute Nogueira for the picks. That would keep them something like $30k below the tax. Between that move and whatever happens to Afflalo (whether he's traded or not, he isn't a Nugget next season), they'll have a fair amount of cap space. Using that money on a free agent this offseason wouldn't be wise, but they could parlay that cap space into a pick from somebody like LAC (Hawes/Crawford/Barnes), NY (Calderon), Brooklyn (JJ/Williams/Jack) or GS (Lee/Iggy) that might be looking to dump some salary to make a move in free agency.
Foye and Lawson would average probably 50 mpg between the two of them. Terry, Jones (rather than Donuts), Papanikolaou, Shved and Capela would probably average about the same amount of total minutes if the team was healthy. Beverly would probably lose a few minutes in the deal, but I think the added talent would more than offset that. They could probably bring in a third team to send Houston a cheap decent SF for a 2nd rounder from Denver.
no it is not i know that but i was wondering if the x and o guys could say is atl was running sets similar to what san antonio uses i am a big believer that to much of the nba teams use isolation stuff and try to rely on single guys athletic ability and that the spurs use a team game opposite to that and with the big hawk turnaround i was wondering if they were playing a lot of the san antonio style of team ball i do not get to see them play that it is take that to the bank thanks brohan
Think last I checked they were 3rd in the league in assists and 1st in the league in 3-pt shot assists. It's very similar. Lots of movement and passing and lots of 3-pt shooting. It's entertaining as hell to watch. I loathe watching a team take 5-7 seconds dribbling and then dumping it in the post for a player to make a post move. It's horrible to watch and not that effective. There's not a superstar/ego on the Hawks so there's nobody getting pissed that they aren't getting shots. Horford is just happy to be playing for a winner and I'm sure all the other guys are too to some degree
Like all teams trying to win, they should remain engaged with other teams and look for ways to improve. However, I don't think they should feel like they "need" to do anything. In my opinion, this stretch of good play have legitimately made them the team to beat in the East.
That's my take too - I was listening to one of the Bill Simmons basketball podcasts and they brought it up just briefly. I can't imagine them changing anything but I'm also a blind homer who doesn't follow the league enough to know what would be possible for them to do. I could suggest they trade Brand and Mack for something good but I like Abe and don't want to sound mocking.
Unless they can somehow score a top flight SF, they shouldn't mess with the big pieces. The could look for a replacement for Mack and Bazemore's minutes (and limit Thabo's as well). Maybe somebody that would come relatively cheap like Jared Dudley.
Didn't Tracy Murray put up half a bill one time as well? Or was that Don McLean? I always mix up the two.
Yep. Corey Brewer, Andre Miller and Cedric Ceballos would also be more
compared to Mo Williams IMO.
Chandler's a personal favorite of mine since he's from my area, and SF is by far the Pistons' biggest need since they're starting Kyle Singler :X . This deal would certainly make Detroit a better team tomorrow.
It was Murray. Hung 50 on a terrible Warriors team a couple months after the Sprewell/Carlisemo choking incident.
Crazier 50-point game anomaly: Mo Williams putting up a 50-point game once, or Jamal Crawford scoring 50 in a game twice?Yep. Corey Brewer, Andre Miller and Cedric Ceballos would also be more
