As much as I hate to say it I think you are correct...His stock has risen in these playoffs with a couple good games....He has shown that he can play within a disciplined offense and still score when needed.....
I would really love for him to come back next season as he gives us great energy off the bench and can rest rondo throughout the season and help extend his playing career with less bumps and bruises.....
I think danny Ainge has done one hell of a job when taking chances on certain players like Sheed and Nate and them working out on this team....Although having the veteran leadership on PP, KG and RA doesn't hurt either......
Absolutely no doubt that his stock has risen... and I REALLY like him as a 6th man
But I think last night, as pleased as we all are with the outcome and as pleased as we were with his points, actually gave a perfect illustration of some bad decision making on Robinson's part
He gambled and lost on occasion, and we paid the price in points by the Lakers - defensive lapses that Robinson will certainly hear about from Doc
He also took some bad shots when others with better looks were open (making some and missing others) and no GM likes to see Technical Fouls
... I'll take the good with the bad over his 17 minutes of play, knowing that he give Rondo a needed rest and brings in a new level of energy off the bench
But those mistakes are magnified if he's a starter playing 35 minutes
If a GM is looking for an energetic point guard who doesn't have the best decision making skills, then Robinson is a perfect fit... but most GMs specifically want a PG with excellent decision making skills
That's why Robinson is coming off the bench - and the role he's playing here is the one he's best suited to play.., but I agree - somewhere, someone will give him the opportunity to earn a starting position and that's what Robinson wants.
