    Lets get this straight. A lot of folks here don't hate steve blake. They hate the fact that he is playing ahead of players who are better than him. This is the NBA. Not the league of "be nice to guys because they play hard." The facts are that some players will just never ball as good as others because they are not as naturally gifted. Steve is one of those guys.

    I don't know if many in here listened to "Quick Chat" before the Roy and Aldridge era, but I remembered Quick saying that Nate is a very defensive guy. I think he asked something very similar and he said he thought Nate was going to punch him in the face.

    I only spent half a season covering the team when Nate was there. He was a very different interview than Mo Cheeks. I definitely got the feeling that certain things were off limits, and he would shut you down if you asked something that pissed him off. Cheeks would talk about anything.
