View Full Version : Nickname for Novak
Libri
03-19-2011, 10:04 PM
Ok, Novak shot lights out tonight, 19 points.
Does he have a nickname or should we go with Van Gundy's version of "best shooter of all time" or maybe "The Savior 9.0."
Any ideas?

This one's easy, and you're welcome. ;)
After seeing how Bonner was spazzing out, looking to really pick up his aggression defensively and overall as Novak was putting on a display for one enamored coach, something came to me.
Novak's Bonner's clone essentially for this team, skillset-wise, there's only one name he could have.
He's cool to Bonner's spaz. He's ...

Seriously I have seen him play in person prior to coming to the Spurs and then in the Wizards blowout and the guy worked his ass off playing hard and chippy in a blowout game - that is good trait and he does seem feerless and acts like he "belongs". Would not be surprised at all for him to a playoff situation where Spurs were in a scoring draught and along with Neal spark the Spurs to a victory.
Then we can annoint him as the "Supernovak"

I find him quite similar to the TRON character. He's not THAT look alike but there's something in his body language and in his face that reminds me of that.

First they lose at home to SA, then the Mav's little used castoff Novak shoots lights out...
Indazone
03-20-2011, 09:35 AM
See, I knew he would become a fan favorite. He's the guy everyone want's coach to put in at the end of games. He's the guy that everyone cheers for as the underdog like "Rudy". He's the reason for everyone cheering whenever he makes a bucket and he's only good for nailing three pointers. It was this way when he was a Rocket. Maybe he's develops some dribbling skills and can get to the rim someday. Then he'll really be a decent SF.

This guy honestly gives effort on defense and the boards. He's not really as incredibly bad at that as I expected, so I've been happy with him.

Guy is not afraid too shoot, and probably the best shooter in the league, great insurance policy if Bonner fails to show up in the playoffs.
I was rooting for him at the game last night, even starting an MVP chant when he was at the line.

On a more serious note- why hasn't this guy stuck with a team?
I know he's not an all star- even a probably a starter but he is long and can shoot plus he hustles.
The one year he got minutes he put up 7 ppg and almost 42% FROM 3

In Dallas and Houston, he was a victim of a logjam at his position I think. Don't know about the Clips, but it could very well have been the same thing, explaining the drop in minutes.

Novak is the all time leader in 3 points made by minute. He is just an awesome shooter.
His problem is that he is even a biggest one trick pony than Bonner. You can be the best shooter in the world, which Novak arguably is, but you won't find a place if you can play a minimum of defense and/or grab some rebounds.

From what little I've seen of Novak's skills aside from shooting, Bonner is Curly Neal and Mark Eaton in comparison.

Steve Novak has his second straight strong shooting game with 13 points on 5-for-6 from the field with 3-for-4 behind the 3-point arc. His 32 points in his last two games is his biggest scoring binge since scoring 33 points in two games with the Los Angeles Clippers on March 17-18, 2009. Over the last three games, he’s hitting 70.6 percent from the field. And over the last 12 games, he’s hitting 64.0 percent of his 3-point attempts.

The Spurs know how to move the ball and find open players, the clippers don't. The Spurs have Tim, Tony and Manu who opposing defense need to worry about, the clippers don't. Novak's the same player he was in LA, he just gets more open looks here.
