Nate Robinson Interested in Re-Signing with Celtics: 'I Feel Wanted Here'

LOS ANGELES -- Guard Nate Robinson hasn't played in seven of Boston's 18 postseason games and logged less than a minute in two others. But he insists that won't cloud his judgment this summer.



Robinson, who will be an unrestricted free agent for the first time in his five-year career, said he definitely has interest in re-signing with the Celtics if they want him back.



"Of course,'' Robinson said in an interview Friday with FanHouse, a day after Boston fell 102-89 in Game 1 of the NBA Finals against the Lakers.



Even though the 5-foot-9 Robinson's playing time has been erratic, he said he likes the way the Celtics have treated him since he was acquired Feb. 19 from New York.



"I feel wanted here,'' said Robinson, who averaged 6.5 points in 14.7 minutes in 26 Boston regular-season games, but has seen his numbers drop in the postseason to 3.4 points in 6.4 minutes in the 11 games he has played.



"This group of guys, this team, this organization is good for me. They're high class, man. They keep it 100 percent (real) with you. Doc (Rivers, the coach) keeps it 100 percent. He tells you straight forward what he wants. I like that.''



As for New York, where Robinson spent his first 4 ½ seasons, he didn't have as much praise for the Knicks despite playing a lot more for them.
