Spurs' Bigman Free Throw List Fun

[SPARKY]

Through 50 games this season:

Duncan.........343
Rose..............91
Horry.............64
Massenburg.....30
Nesterovic......23
Marks..............9


I'm sorry, that is downright pathetic.

[T Park]

So.

Whats the point.

We know you hate Nesterovic. Why make ANOTHER thread to point it out?


Get off the childish hate already for christ sake.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Seems like a valid point to me T.

For the minutes Rasho has played he should be at the line a whole lot more. That might be the lowest FTA per 48 minutes for any bigman in the league.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Supports my argument that the boy has decent skillz but he doesn't bring it.

Heck, Massenburg doesn't get any plays called for him either and he has 30 attempts in what? 20 minutes of playing time so far this year???

[SPARKY]

Marks sneezed on the court this season and ended up with 9 FT attempts.

[T Park]

Heck, Massenburg doesn't get any plays called for him either

Start Massenburg.

Hes been fantastic in the games he has started.

Of course.




Supports my argument that the boy has decent skillz but he doesn't bring it

When hes told to back down to Manu, Parker, and Duncan, what is he supposed to do.

Pull a Malik?

[ChumpDumper]

Again, so what? Should we start a "Malik turns over the ball alot thread." Shit's been done.

[T Park]

For the minutes Rasho has played he should be at the line a whole lot more

How many times a game does Rasho go for a rebound someone jumps over the back tips it away from him and zippo is called.

BTW, why does he have to go to the free throw line to prove so much.

This FT line bs is just that, i dont see what it proves.

That he goes to the hole??

Wow, bench him. he doesnt brick enough free throws.

[T Park]

Should we start a "Malik turns over the ball alot thread."

No, that would make you a pop sucking Holtsucking blind homer living in san antonio de bexar.

[Spurminator]

I've said it before... Malik Rose in Rasho's body would be the greatest center of all time.

As it is, they're both underwhelming.

[T Park]

Malik Rose in Rasho's body would be the greatest center of all time

Very true.

Andrew Bogut reminds me slightly of that mut of a player.

[SPARKY]

I will say this for Rasho, he obviously learned basketball in an environment as a young man which placed an emphasis on skills. But it did so to a fault. Rasho is extremely skilled technically, probably one of the most skilled big men in the NBA.

But...it takes more than that in the NBA. You need a guy who knows how to ball. A guy who isn't afraid to take it to the rim and not get the call or get it swatted out of bounds.

I think Pop's coaching style and personality is bad for Rasho in the sense that Pop only reinforces what Rasho learned as a young kid. Pop is all over guys who make mistakes.

It's the classic 'book smart v street smart' debate. To be a success you don't need one or the other but rather both. Rasho has the 'book smarts' down like hell. But that's not great because he's lacking that ability to throw caution to the win and compete when need be.

[ChumpDumper]

I'm sensing a pattern here....

[SPARKY]

Sure, I post something and you hang on my nuts.

[ChumpDumper]

No you idly bitch about nothing and make anything remotely wrong with the Spurs Pop's fault.

He must've made Malik's ball handling and decision making in the post worse too.

You should really get that stick out of your ass. 39-11.

[SPARKY]

Oh yes, that is I.

Is this for free throws attempted or made?
if its made DUNCAN IS AN AWESOME FREAK!

[SPARKY]

Attempts.

Lowest FTA per 48 minutes for any bigmen...hmmm...

I would guess lowest FTA per 48 minutes for any player. Ever.
