Solid, thank you for the recap.

As someone who wasn't able to watch the game I apreciate it! :)

He didn't score in the first half. He went 0-5 (0-4 first half, I think) until he finally scored on a layup in the 3rd. He missed some open shots that he has been making. He hit a nice corner 3 late.
Yes I know he was 0-5, but I don't think that is a lot (shots) for 1/2 of the game

[T Park]

Thats alot of misses for a half chief.

Why the fuck are you complain about Rasho"s game if you didn't see it?

[Slo spurs fan]

Don't bother answering TPark, I am going to sleep now.

[T Park]

Uh.

Im complaining about him getting ONE, count em ONE rebound.

Hes 7 foot, hes gettin paid 7 mill a year.


Youd think the least he could do is pull down at least 5.


But, mediocrity is ok with you guys I guess.

For those looking at the stats, Rasho's value wasn't on the boards but on the defensive end and spreading the floor knocking down shots from the outside. He gave Yao a very tough time in the post by fronting him and making it tough for him to get the ball where he likes it.

If Rasho fought his teammates for five otherwise insignificant rebounds people would have to try to find something else to rag on him about.

ask spursologist (if you're not being sarcastic). He has tons of illegal chinese/taiwanese websites that stream (transmit) games over the web

[T Park]

No, I had to work, not because of lack of broadcast! :)

Thats great.

But, more than 1 rebound couldn't have fallen into his hands???

NOT MORE THAN ONE!???

How about just fighting the opposition.

The Spurs were outrebounded, weren't they?!

[Frenchise player]

Rasho was great against Shaq in the victory @Miami (to my mind, the biggest victory of the year), and he plays good defense on Yao too. The problem is that there aren't many dominating centers, so his defensive talent goes underpreciated.
But if by any miracle, the Heat beats the Pistons, I will be glad to have Rasho against Shaq.

Hey TPark, since you love stats, here are some:

Nice link there ata :tu

Hey, I don't suppose anyone here has a .gif (or even a .wmv) of Yao tripping under the basket and doing a total faceplant as he yelled "ahh!" and fell over like a ton of bricks?

omg it was hilarious!

Also, the rest of the team contributed. If the rebounding can be improved further (e.g. Rasho with only 1 rb), the Spurs must be the team to beat in the Finals.
Rasho was kept quite busy fronting Yao all day. I think he did his job well. Forget the number of rebounds he had. Look at Yao's stats for the day if you want to see what Rasho contributed.
