N. Mohammed sighting

[ducks]

:smokin

[dcole50]

Leading rebounder for the team at the moment with 4 in 7 minutes. :)

[T Park]

Soft though.

[slayermin]

My only criticism of him thus far is that he needs to close out on the big man shooting the jump shot.

[T Park]

Id like to know why they cant set him up on the low post.

Why are we relying on Devin Brown and Robert Horry.


Other than that, he looks good.

[T Park]

Nice block on Illgauskas to force the 24 second.

Came down, and got a silly travel, but Malik did that too, so so far its a wash, and if thats so, then all the Nazr haters will be happy I guess.

[timvp]

Nazr looks pretty good so far. He has long arms and looks like he'll be able to be a good rebounder. He already finishes stronger than Rasho, though I'd like to see him go up for dunks rather than layups.

His defense is okay so far. Nothing too bad. He's a little lost, but that'll come.




P.S.

TPark, why are you making this Nazr vs. Rose? They are both totally different players. Lose the hate.


P.P.S.

Nazr didn't block anybody yet.

[MannyIsGod]

Tpark, do me a favor.

STFU. You can't compare the 2 based on a half of basketball. You can't even compare the 2 after the rest of the season. When Nazr helps the Spurs win a title, then you'll have room to talk.

Untill then, STFU already.

[RobinsontoDuncan]

^ 100% agree

[timvp]

One negative is I don't like his stroke on his jumper. I watched him warm up last game and his two jumpers this game didn't have a chance.

Stick to inside shots, Nazr.

Rasho>>>>>>>>>>>Nazr :spin

:lol :lol

[MannyIsGod]

he just uses wrist to flick it up there. It's odd, it's as though he's not useing any legs and arms, just wrist.

I do like the way he's taken it to the bucket when he's gotten it down low. I think he's been a bit nervous, but he actually uses glass. I don't understand why Rasho tries to put everything straight in, but I like the way Nazr attacks that bucket.

[MannyIsGod]

Rasho>>>>>>>>>>>Nazr :spin

:lol :lol

As of right now, the only thing Rasho has Nazr beat on for sure (and this includes jumpers, Rasho's shot has become UGLY) is being white.

[Slo spurs fan]

Manny I was joking about his jump shot shuting! See smilies?

[MannyIsGod]

Ahhh, my bad :spin

[picnroll]

He has good hops. Times rebounds well. Wonder why he's not more of a shot blocker.

[ChumpDumper]

I've stated my issues with his jumper

[SequSpur]

Malik > Mohammed.

[T Park]

^^^ your an idiot.

[dcole50]

agreed

edit: malik has 0 points and 1 rebound in the third quarter against la. so it was a great deal.

only kidding. can't judge anything by one or two games.

[ALVAREZ6]

agreed

[slayermin]

What is everybody agreeing on?

[ALVAREZ6]

On this .....
^^^ your an idiot.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

LJ,

My 10 and 10 prediction ain't looking too bad, is it?

[T Park]

Better be quiet Aggie, before Manny the Rose loving forum police gets ya.

[T Park]

15 minutes

6 points 6 boards.


Add 14 more minutes and its 10 and 10.

[SequSpur]

His numbers look good enough to retire his jersey in the SBC. A few more games like this and he will pass Avery.

[whottt]

Tpark, it's funny you going around calling everyone a hater...take a look around, the only one doing any hating is you.

And Malik would have lead the Spurs in steals tonight! Both his steals came off of Kobe!

[ChumpDumper]

lol, Rose-colored lenses indeed.

[T Park]

Funny, I thought I was praising Nazr Mohammed.


Guess I should recheck my spelling.

[whottt]

Rose in his first game as a Knick>Mohammed in his first game as a Spur...

just sayin' :)

I actually haven't seen either one of them play for their new team yet.

Who are you kidding?

Don't think I've missed those shots you been taking at Malik in other threads.

[T Park]

2 points 8 rebounds is better than 6 and 6?


Seems pretty even up to me.


Whatever. Rose colored indeed.

[timvp]

LJ,

My 10 and 10 prediction ain't looking too bad, is it?

If Nazr averages 10 and 10, I'll give you my two season tickets for the first round of the playoffs. If he doesn't, you change your avatar to be of Malik Rose.

Deal?

[ChumpDumper]

I know Malik was impressive in his first game which I didn't see.

I did see tonight's game; it was your typical other-side-of-the-coin game from Malik. Nothing we haven't seen before.

[T Park]

Don't think I've missed those shots you been taking at Malik in other threads


Oh im sorry, ill not say anything bad about him again.


Heaven forbid. Fuck off.

[Kori Ellis]

Good showing by Nazr. He was pretty much what I expected ... good rebounder, decent O game around the basket. If he can stay out of foul trouble, pick up the Spurs D and not try too much offensively, he should be a solid contributor in 15-20mpg.

[whottt]

Oh im sorry, ill not say anything bad about him again.


Heaven forbid. Fuck off.


I just think it's funny that you were calling him a cancer and then turned around and said you weren't hating.

[Jimcs50]

Rose was in foul trouble all night tonight.

[whottt]

In the reports I got from Knicks fans they said he gets a lot of stupid fouls and is in foul trouble a lot...that's probably his biggest weakness other than not rotating to help on D.


But I don't see that being a big deal if he is in a backup role. Malik could be pretty foul prone too(in fact he was tonight).

They said the best thing about him was his o rebounding and garbage work.

[timvp]

As long as Nazr never shoots a jumper and sticks to the garbage points, he'll be fine. He looks bigger than I imagined, but his legs are pretty skinny. He's a top-heavy player, which means he probably won't be much of a post presence.

As long as he goes out and rebounds and plays D, I'll be happy. If he averages seven points and five rebounds, I'd be thrilled.

[T Park]

I think you let him have hook shots, and other shots around the basket.


I think 8 and 8 10 and 8 is well within reason.


He looked pretty good for only 2 practices and 2 games, 1 played in.

[T Park]

were calling him a cancer

link to where I said that please....

[whottt]

The way the Knicks fans described him, his skills...they sounded like a lot of the reasons I wanted Elton Brand...o boards and garbage work.

It's important to note that the Knicks fans also said he wasn't lazy, they said he doesn't work as hard as Malik does(based on what they had seen)...but he's not a lazy player he just doesn't know how to play NBA D really.

[Kori Ellis]

he just doesn't know how to play NBA D really

I'm hoping that's just a product of the systems he's been in, not his inability to learn.

[T Park]

If thats the case, he will flourish tremendously in this system.


Give him a couple weeks of teaching how to play D on this team, hell be a good player.


That might be a decent comparison.

Elton has a better jumper, but if Nazr can score like Elton, hook shots, in close shots and what not, and do the other stuff, wow, thats like gettting the player you wanted last summer...

[ChumpDumper]

Seeing as he was 310lbs when he first went to Kentucky, I'm going to assume that he at least works decently hard to stay in shape. He does have alot to learn about Spurs D.

[timvp]

When he badly missed that one turn around jumper and then airballed his next turn around jumper, I had a bad flashback of ...

http://www.ticketsconcertssports.com/spurspic1201d.jpg

[ChumpDumper]

Well, Tim might have to play the high post when Nazr is out there. More than doable.

[T Park]

Nazr Mohammed is 5 times the player that fuckin stiff is.

[NazrM]

As of right now, the only thing Rasho has Nazr beat on for sure (and this includes jumpers, Rasho's shot has become UGLY) is being white.

What's wrong with being white?

[whottt]

link to where I said that please....


Ok so you didn't call him a cancer(that I could find)

but you did call him this:


All over an undersized, childish forward.

Which is close.

[T Park]

Manny hates Rasho so he is biased.

No objectiveness from him.

When you pull a jersey over your head during a game.


Yes, you are childish.


Pull away from Malik's dick for a minute Whottt, since you rip me and Chump doing the same to Pop.

[whottt]

I'm hoping that's just a product of the systems he's been in, not his inability to learn.

They said it was because of the coaches he had in Atl, and Wilkens in NY...they weren't sure of how he'd responded to Williams because he's injured.

[T Park]

shit coaches in New York and Atlanta.

What a shame.

Too bad the Spurs couldn't have had this guy 4 years ago learning under Pop Duncan and Robinson.

One time in 8 years? And all of a sudden he's childish? That's hate plain and simple.

It was stupid...but he was doing it because he screwed up and felt bad.

[T Park]

One time??

hes done more boneheaded shit than that.


Yelling back at your coach. Pouting at the end of the bench.


Once again for the millionth time numbnuts.


I like Malik, I loved him as a player and as a person.


So shut the fuck up with YOUR idiotic M Hate, Mhatenum9 horseshit.

kiss my fucking ass Whottt.


You must be a fucking Pop hater from your posts, I never see you give one fuckin praising post to him.

You must HATE Pop.



You want a link?? Go to a fuckin game once in a decade, he did that many times in the last few years.

[ducks]

rose has also changed pop's play

I will miss what he did though 2 years ago
his businesses ruined him in sa

[PM5K]

2 points 8 rebounds is better than 6 and 6?


Seems pretty even up to me.


Whatever. Rose colored indeed.

I'd say six and six is actually better....

[SequSpur]

I miss blaming Malik for screw ups. The past 2 games Manure has seem to fill Malik's role quite well.

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeee'ssssssssss Baaaaaaacccccccccckkkkkkkk.

[whottt]

I'd say six and six is actually better....

Malik's 2 and 8 came in 9 minutes and had no TO's or fouls.

[Guru of Nothing]

TPark, I say this as your virtual friend - stFUCKu!

Baseball has Mendoza; we Spurs fans here have T Park.

[PM5K]

Malik's 2 and 8 came in 9 minutes and had no TO's or fouls.

That's right, I forgot about the limited minutes, either way I was still impressed with Nazr....

[Tek_XX]

Mohammeds play in his first game with a new team wasn't that bad. Once he becomes comfortable with the Spurs he will be productive

[SpursChampsIII]

Malik > Mohammed.

Malik = gone

Get over it...cheer for the Knicks.

I do appreciate posts that have a flash of personality, but some of the posts on this site require us to scroll, and scroll, and scroll. Could you state your case in one line?
And you're all saying, "Who the hell is this upstart?"
If I'm an upstart, that's not the worst I can be. Am I wrong in asking that posters just post?
Love to you all, as always,

Or that his signature is too long?

Ooh! This makes me cringe bigtime. I

[milkyway21]

Nazr seems so excited to be here and be part of this team. And I see a bright future for the Spurs ahead of us.

Let's get real.

time to forget Malik!

[Kori Ellis]

Spurs fans (myself included) lamented about losing Stephen Jackson for at least six months. Let them miss Malik for at least a week or two. ;)

[Manu20]

I still miss Stephen Jackson.

[mattyc]

I miss our SJax.

I don't miss the SJax in Indy.

[whottt]

That's right, I forgot about the limited minutes, either way I was still impressed with Nazr....

After thoroughly reading all the reports from Knicks fans that I polled for info on Mohammed..

I think we basically traded Malik's intensity and desire for size.

I think they are actually kind of similar players...they both have bad hands, they are both foul prone, and they both make stupid plays.

All you guys that wanted Malik traded because of his TO's...well Nazr may not make as many bad passes as Malik(because he doesn't pass the ball at all)...but near as I can tell he has just as many of them bounce of his hands as Malik did. So don't expect AHF's blood pressure to be going down anytime soon.

After reading all those reports...I don't think Mohammed is the stiff I feared he would be, and that was my major concern, he's not a stiff and he is active on offense..but his D needs a lot of work and he's not going to be as tough or as much of an energy player as Malik was,...but I think Mohammed is going to be the best finisher we have had around the basket other than David Robinson and he is probably going to end up playing better with Duncan than Rasho does...

[T Park]

^^^ I disagree with the hands part I think tonight he showed he has good hands.


But I would agree, he prob will play better with Duncan than Rasho.

Although tonight, DUncan and Rasho played quite well.

[PM5K]

I would agree that we traded the intensity and desire for size. It would be great to have both but I think the Spurs felt we needed size more and I agree...

[Mr. Body]

We traded a bench player for a potential starter.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

If Nazr averages 10 and 10, I'll give you my two season tickets for the first round of the playoffs. If he doesn't, you change your avatar to be of Malik Rose.

Hell yeah, let's do it.

[timvp]

Nice.

Don't back out like Whottt did.

While I don't think you will win, you would have to be a fool not to take that bet.

2 tickets for the first round against an avatar? Fuck yeah!

You should have an Avery Johnson avatar now but you don't.

But let's not get into that again.

The AJ thing? It was for a title...I thought I was paying the price for that bet right now...even though I'm still waiting for the link that he was offered a contract and turned it down.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

The only way my prediction could be any more kick ass is if I would have been able to make it down for the Roundtable and make it on the air.

Show some balls with your predictions, y'know?

[ChumpDumper]

Judging from your respective vBookie totals, this has all the trappings of a Timmy vs. Jimmy type battle.

Coming from someone who has yet to bet, I know....
