I'll never understand Rasho shooting a hook from .5 ft away

[50 cent]

:pctoss

[Brutalis]

Sometimes it's like they* have a split second breakdown. Some players do the dumbest shit sometimes. Like when Webber called that timeout, that's nothing like hooking a 1 inch shot but still shows some sort of mental collapse of common basketball sense.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

you'd think he would have some form or device resembling a nutsack, but i guess not


inject his calf muscles with stem cells or something

[50 cent]

Pop should have a shock collar that the can hit when Rasho gets the ball that low that makes him go crazy like Shaq.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

He needs a visit from Matt Foley to improve his confidence, needs to make some sort of an improvement on his jumper, and needs stem cells injected into his calf muscles to make them more spring-like

[ducks]

spurs need to watch brown guard shaq

[Dre_7]

Nazr needs to get more PT.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

anyone notice that Nazr silently had a good game against Indiana?

[Dre_7]

Yup

[Cant_Be_Faded]

when rasho plays well, he's solid
when nazr plays well, he's pretty fuckin good

he scoffed the shit out of jermaine

[T Park]

anyone notice Rasho outplaying Nazr tonight??

Of course not....

[Dre_7]

anyone notice Rasho outplaying Nazr tonight??

Of course not....

He has gotten double the minutes. Just give Nazr more PT! Example: Playoffs 2005!

[Dre_7]

BTW Rasho has only four more pts and one more rebound than Nazr, with twice the PT.

[ALVAREZ6]

Everytime I've seen Nazr play this season he has scrubbed it up. Now I haven't watched as many games as everyone else, but from what I've seen.....


I hope by the playoffs, Nazr will be playing like he did in the playoffs of last year, he was great for us then.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Alvarez he had a pretty bad ass game against Indiana. Pretty bad ass dunk, too. But then again, Rasho had a good dunk last game as well.

All I really care about is who gets the most dunks.

[ALVAREZ6]

[PM5K]

So a dunk is worth more points than a .5 hook shot?

[ALVAREZ6]

So a dunk is worth more points than a .5 hook shot?
Hell yeah.



It also sends a message, saying GET OFF ME.

The Spurs need that every once in a while from someone other than Tim.

[Neuromancer]

Sometimes I think that Rasho doesn't realize how big and tall he is.

[ALVAREZ6]

Sometimes I think that Rasho doesn't realize how big and tall he is.
But he does realize how small his balls are.

yawn......

[Spurologist]

that killed the thread

[JamesR]

He's shooting the highest percentage of his career, who cares how he makes it?

[leemajors]

i like it when rasho makes his shots, don't care how he does it.

[Notorious H.O.P.]

So a dunk is worth more points than a .5 hook shot?

Same value but you're more likely to miss a .5 ft hook shot than a dunk. Even if a dunk results in a score 90% (should be more) of the time and a .5 ft hook shot results in a score 80% (could be less) of the time, over the course of the season, that could add up to more than a few points. And considering we've been squeaking by a lot of teams recently, those missed 2 or 4 pts and 10% could mean the difference between winning and losing a game. Not to mention that an aggressive move toward the basket could result in free throws awarded.

[ZStomp]

:pctoss

stop trying...to stressful

[Tek_XX]

They're are a ton of Rasho haters on here. It's not good enough that he put the ball in the hole they have to bitch about how he did it.

[MI21]

Gotta love Rasho's old no look fadeaway hook shot.

[Admidave50]

don't forget his new name! it's Rasho Abdul Jabbar! haha

[SlovenianGuy]

He has gotten double the minutes. Just give Nazr more PT! Example: Playoffs 2005!

You hit the nail right on the head.

[BabyBrother]

How you guys won a championship with Nesterovic at center i'll never know.

[Bruno]

Rasho is a great layuper.
Making layup instead of dunk is meaningless.
If Rasho was one of the best dunker in the league (a la Kenyon Martin/Dwight Howard), he will average at best 6.0 ppg compare to the 5.7ppg he averages this year.

You can blame Rasho for not grabbing enough boards or for not taking more shots (even if a big reason is that Spurs don't make plays for him).

It demonstrates how truly sucky the Spurs competition was.

[Dario]

If everybody on this team would dunk all of his shots instead of making layups their pg% would be higher, whats your point?

[angel_luv]

Rasho's been mixing his shots this year... good stuff.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Rashos' problem is all the abuse he got from KG mentally and physically.

I am talking about overall this year. Not just scrub minutes against teams like NoOk.

[gameFACE]

There have been a lot of Nazr/Rasho threads. For me the center position is still a work in progress. The thing to remember is that neither Nazr nor Rasho has gained the starting position for playing great and beating out the other while BOTH were active. Each has gained it through good play while the other was out (or away in Nazr's case).

[JamesR]

They're are a ton of Rasho haters on here. It's not good enough that he put the ball in the hole they have to bitch about how he did it.

Oh I understand that.

we did not win the championship with rasho we won with nazr.if you are such a badass why don't you play for the spur???

[rashofan1]

boutons, you need to get your facts stright before you post.

[ShoogarBear]

The fact is that we can't rely on either Rasho or Nazr exclusively. That's why I'm always astounded at people who want to trade one or the other. You want to have a Rasho/Oberto or Nazr/Oberto combo going into the playoffs?

[E20]

I'm not gonna lie, it is the best avatar ever.

[rashofan1]

I think that it should just be RASHO/NAZR.

[rashofan1]

Hey boutons how can you dog the spurs that way?? and call your self a spurs fan???

[SequSpur]

The Spurs need to rebound. This includes the new Tim Duncan.

[boutons_]

Rashofanny, I'm doggin the competition, not Rasho.

If they think Rasho (who didn't play) is so bad (but we still won), then what does that say about the competition?

[50 cent]

So a dunk is worth more points than a .5 hook shot?
Hell yeah, because half of Rasho's fucking .5 hook shots rim out.

[rashofan1]

the name is RASHOFAN1!

[Dario]

Hell yeah, because half of Rasho's fucking .5 hook shots rim out.

FG%
Oberto .543
Parker .538
Rasho .536
Nazr .526
Duncan .519

Its not like Dunkmaster Nazr got way better fg% because he dunks so much.

[MI21]

Oberto .543
Parker .538
Rasho .536
Nazr .526
Duncan .519

Who? :lol

Still amazes me that Parker is at 54%, and I'm surprised Timmy is at 51%.

[boutons_]

Spurs shooting team 48%, BEST IN THE NBA! by 2%,
with Brent, Michael, Nick, Robert way below the team avg with around 40% each.

It would be fantastic if our 2 b/u Shooting Guards could actually shoot well. :)

[TDMVPDPOY]

i wonder if rasho is goin to decrease his range with the hookshot?? :D

[50 cent]

i wonder if rasho is goin to decrease his range with the hookshot?? :D
He might go to the .3ft hook.

I'm doggin the competition

So your saying that the Pistons sucked last year?


And you call me a bad fan.

Bad competition!!!

WTF!!?!?!?!

They beat prob the best teams available, that could've played them in every series last year.

"your saying that the Pistons sucked last year?"

You said that, not me. Besides stuffin your face 24x7, your pastime is stalkin me, stuffin words in my mouth. Go fuck yourself.

JUst dunk the ball. PLease. I did like that he came back the 2nd half and got some good scores and some nice steals and defensive stops and that the team kept looking for him, which hopefully gives him some confidence. All 3 of the Spurs centers had good games in their own ways, even Fabrizio came in and did some good things.

[orhe]

fabricio was great during the second half ~ his passes and screens were really good

[boutons_]

'his passes and screens were really good"

He knows how to play basketball, and has a straightforward "let's just play basketball" attitude, no personal agenda or luggage. I really liked the confidence he showed with his little post-up move for his only basket.

Manu threw the ball away at least once trying to pass to Fabricio. Argie mafia! :)
