If he doesn't score he's not worth keeping around. He can't run the offense and he is a liability on defense. I don't see what he does for us on the positive side. He makes terrible passes and takes terrible shots.

I keep hearing that Nate will play better when he doesn't have to run the point and West runs the point. I think that will help but I am now worried that Nate won't be that much better. I say that because he hasn't been playing as a point guard in these games. He's playing as a shooting guard and just can't hit consistently.Frustrating loss tonight. -

Posted by concord27The Celtics can offer Draft picks. If they want Bradley or Harangody included then why not. -

I have been a Nate defender but I do wonder sometimes. I continue to ask myself (and other friends): Who's better for us - House or Nate. To me, its beginning to look like House because if Nate can't get and hit his own shot and if he can't play back up point guard, what advantage did he offer over House??? -

Posted by Celtsfan4lifeAgainst the Lakers I almost forgot about House when Nate was on fire. It's just a case of win some lose some.By the way, Nate can dribble and penetrate while House can not. -

Some nights, I say Nate is better for us. Some nights, I say we need Eddie's shooting. overall, its just not a clear win with Nate. Its turning out to be a wash (not that we're worse, but we aren't better, either). -

Posted by Celtsfan4lifeNate gave the Celtics a boost last year in the playoffs. When Rondo went down in Game 6 of the Magic series Nate took over and led the Celtics to victory.Both Nate and House can't run the offense but Nate is better a better dribbler and he can drive to the basket. House is just lucky he has Wade and Lebron handling the ball all the time in Miami. -

Me too. His shot selection is usually horrendous. He hustles but is not big enough to stop people. He made a all pro out of Livingston -

We had a thread earlier about House or Nate. Originally I wanted Nate but changed my mind early in the year. When I said I would take House back I got roasted. The mindset was nate will be fine when Delonte comes back. Only problem would be will still won't have a backup PG. Delonte is not that guy either, just a substitute. -

Nate is streaky. Judging him when he is not shooting well is not taking into account when he is on. Delonte will help him. Where have all the people gone who want him to start? -

I'm losing faith in Nate. I'm not sure what's going on with his shot.
Boy, Delonte West should just take #17 down from the rafters because he is becoming a Celtic legend by not even playing. LOL! Wow people!!
