This Isn't a Very Good Start For Our Relationship

Newly acquired Boston Celtics guard Nate Robinson took and passed his physical Friday, but is not expected to make his Boston debut until next week as he battles a stomach virus. Robinson, who the Celtics had pondered flying to Portland for Friday's game due to a shorthanded roster following a five-player deal consummated at Thursday's trade deadline, had been battling flu-like symptoms during his final days with the New York Knicks and his condition required a precautionary hospital visit Friday. He spent the night at an area hotel, according to the team Because of his condition, Robinson will not join the team on this current four-game road trip, including Sunday's game in Denver. Instead, he's expected to make a far more dramatic debut Tuesday night at the TD Garden when his old team visits for the start of a three-game homestand.

Really? C'mon! Really? Reeaalllllyyyyyyy?! I'm gonna come up with some illness so my first game isn't in Denver where nobody gives a fuck but rather when we come home to Boston to play my former team on Tuesday. Wow. I wanna like Nate Robinson. I was ready to give him a shot. But this is strike 3 as far as I'm concerned. The other 2 all have to do with him being a slam dunk contest freak and a friend of Will Ferrel's. That's a big no-no. I can't have Ferrel showing up to Boston games. Just can't have it. He stopped being funny in 2005.
