Nate Robinson Flies Into the Hearts of Bulls Fans (Well, Maybe...)

Bulls fans may have to get used to another celebration other than Joakim Noah's finger guns, as Nate Robinson prefers pretending to be an airplane. Nate Robinson has had a solid preseason including two great games on October 16th and October 26th getting 24 points and 13 assists, and 21 points and 8 assists respectively (where I saw a few airplane celebrations happening from ol' Nate).

Though it is just the preseason, Nate seems to be learning where Tom Thibodeau wants him to be on the court offensively. At 5'9'' he will never be a great defender but he seems to be defending pretty well for a guy his size. He is strong and quick, built like a football player, which incidentially was what he did during college for a year. He is able to put points on the board in a hurry. Giving the Bulls more than just big dunks would be great from Nate (hey, that rhymes). If he could go off for a 20 and 10 game even every 10 days, that would be a pick-up that went the Bulls way (oh $hit, I just can't quit).

Though before getting that Nate Robinson jeresy quite yet, Bulls fans, lets reminds ourselves of the situation we are in still. Sure Nate has played well but it's only preseason which literally counts for nothing, some of his other games have been forgetable, and it is clear that Tom prefers Hinrich over Robinson. I agree with this as Hinrich fits the system and Thib's philosophy better and I think Nate would do best as a spark off the bench and really being the scoring option for the second unit. It is yet to see what Nate brings, but so far so good and I don't know about you, but I am at least hoping for a Taj to Nate alley-oop which will remind of us a little bit of the Noah to Rose alley-oop to help us remember what the Bulls can be in the future. That's not too much to ask, is it Nate and Taj?
