    T-Rob looks like a bigger player on 2k. too early to judge on his play right now. just one game.

    I was at the game very close to the court got a good look at him next to parsons. There about the same height. His body is just proportion which is not usual for a player so big. That's why he might loom small on tv or computer what ever you guys are watching on. He was def lost and didn't kno what to do but he was running up and down the court every time. The last foul on him was bogus really bad call. He def did not know we're to be on offense. Give him time and he will be just fine. He was also on the bench cheering the team on and was the first guy off the bench to show support to the players on the court.

    Him and harden look like there communicating alot. Harden was talking to him everytime there was a timeout or out of bounds. This is good out best player seems to be taking him under his wings to help the rookie out. Give Robinson a few games he's not a bust. Dmo played very well tonight but in his first few games looked just as bad. Only difference was dmo was falling down everywhere.

    T-rob only played 7 minutes and is already declared a disappointment. i think it's about time for certain Clutchfans posters to leave the molly pills alone.

    He was definitely not lazy and he did just fine. It's like a bunch of schoolgirls around here. Has the whole world turned emo? No, I just got old :eek:

    Yep. Dude was probably nervous as hell. I'm gonna let him play out the rest of the season before I even think about making the slightest judgement.

    It seems like most of you haven't seen him play before tonight. The kid isn't very good at basketball. Hopefully he can learn how to play over the next year or two.

    Robinson really looked lost. I know the guy has only had a few practices tops, so I'll cut him some slack.

    It is not surprising the he looked bad. He has not had time to learn what the team does yet. Moreover, he is a rookie who looked pretty bad in SAC. Even if he has potential, it is unlikely to be realized this year.

    What is surprising is that he got non-garbage minutes so early, after only 2 practices. Others like DMo had to spend all year on the bench or in DLeague to get their shot. But not Robinson. I wonder of The Tank Engine being Morey's pet asset influenced this.

    No surprise at all. High draft pick, high trust. Undrafted, cough Lin cough, no trust. That's always been our coach McHale/Sampson. ;)

    Didn't want to say this at first but this guy reminds me of Joey Dorsey.... We could have had Batum right now but instead the Blazers are enjoying his services instead. 9th seed or worse here we come.....
