    Is there any chance... !

    ....that shock of shocks, OKC might play Nate Robinson at some point in the PG position ahead of Westbrook. At least he might distribute the ball. RW is trying to do it all himself. As someone said a few days ago, he thinks he is Derrick Rose. As a matter of interest why have we not seen Nate yet at all ? Is he as we say in Europe regarding footballers "Cup tied for playoffs" or something similar to that effect.

    Nate could defend zach Randolph. He is also a great dunker

    Nate is even less capable as a distributor. He's the guy you put in when your team is down 15 and you need some high-energy offense. He's prone to doing his own thing instead of running the plays the coach calls. I feel bad for Nate actually. He needs to go to a small market team with a coach that understands him where he'll get decent minutes and a chance to really grow into a PG role.

    He needs to drive to the rim on 80% of his shot attempts for him to have a positive FG%. What he really needs to do is give up control of the ball to KD in the 4Q and other critical moments. There's probably only going to be 5-6 of these in the entire game, mostly in the 4Q.

    And this is only game 4. OKC is going home anyways...

    What SK said. And also, he's kind of a liability on defense. I don't think it would necessarily be a bad idea to get him some minutes though. He's one of those hit or miss guys - either really hot or a complete disaster. But to call on Nate to come in and distribute when Westbrook is being a ball hog is a bit ridiculous. He's really just a small shooting 2 guard who can't play defense.
