You cannot stop Rasho Nesterovic

[exstatic]

you can only hope to contain him. :fro

[ShoogarBear]

Greatest center who ever lived.

A combination of Wilt, Kareem, and MJ in their primes.

[Guru of Nothing]

It's very interesting to watch Rasho's game unfold this year.

He knows his role, and he plays it very well.

When all is said and done, Rasho will be the best center in the league not to play in the all-star game this year.

[Dex]

He's like Shaq on stilts and steroids. :lol

(But I still like him as long as he hits his jumpers and blocks shots)

[SequSpur]

When did basketball become a sport in the Special Olympics?

[Dex]

1992 - The year Shaquille O'Neal signed with Orlando.

[ChumpDumper]

Let's not get carried away, but he played quite well tonight.

2-2 FT!

[ShoogarBear]

Rasho saved our asses tonight, no doubt about that.

Still, do we really want to live off his jump shot all year?

[RobinsontoDuncan]

i think tonight was an anomoly, how often is tp really going to go scoreless Shogarbear? i hope not much.........

[boutons]

Rasho's 2 FT's were also crunch time, the 2nd was NBN. cool under pressure

I was hoping he'd hit his laster jumper, the dagger he deserved to hit.

[timvp]

Very nice job, Rasho. He made those flat-footed, line drive jumpers look easy :)

I liked his rebounding and defensive movement even moreso than his offense. I haven't seen him play any better than he did tonight ... and that is probably why Pop let him finish a game for the first time as a Spur.

:smokin

[ChumpDumper]

that is probably why Pop let him finish a game for the first time as a Spur.That and the fact Corliss was owning the backups that were put on him.

[mattyc]

Good to hear Rasho played well. I'd still give a left nut for him to be more aggressive and such, but he's getting there.

Rasho! :smokin

[Solid D]

Great game by Rasho. You know, this may be the year Rasho scores an endorsement deal. You know, maybe for Lavitra or something.

I can just see Rasho trying to sell Marshmallow Puffs. :lol

[whottt]

I think it's time we start giving serious consideration to Rasho being a HOFer.

[Solid D]

Hey Sequ, looks like that "short bus" you said Rasho came in on stopped at your house tonight and the wheels came off.

High scorer for the Spurs in the 4th quarter? Rasho Nesterovic with 10.

[ducks]

damm

[Useruser666]

:lol @ ducks Can't get a one word post right! Sorry man!

[newbiefan]

has Rasho Nesterovic become the Macho Nesterovic thispego wanted him to be?

[SequSpur]

How can I ignore Solid D?

:wink

[Notorious H.O.P.]

Great game by Rasho tonight. Timely buckets that he shot with no hesitation. I'd still like to see him mix it up more aggressively on the low post but with the Spurs going cold from the perimeter, the Sixers packed the lane and didn't give the Spurs much room to operate. Hopefully this will continue to build his confidence. And how about that 100% from the free throw line in the clutch? I think he is afraid to get too aggressive in the post for fear of being sent to the free throw line. Hopefully this will also give him an nudge in the right direction.

[exstatic]

He and Tim both have nice outside shots. He and Tim both struggle from the FT line. Neither one bends their knees for crap. Tim starts to, but by the time he is in his set position, it's like they're almost locked.

They both shoot flat, jumpers and FTs. The trouble is, that while that shot falls frequently from the top of a jumping motion, shooting from lower than the rim (anchored to the FT line) has less desireable results. I honestly think they could both shoot a consistant 70-80% in Van Exel fashion: back the fuck up 12-18 inches from the FT line, and shoot a jumper. No rules against it, and it's not like shooting granny-style, which is the only way Shaq could ever shoot 75% or better for a season.

[Karl Mundt]

The beast has been unleashed. Take cover while you still can...

[bigzak25]

did he look better against mark jackson or vs samuel dalembert? :lol



honestly though, great game by rasho....hope he keeps this up.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Finally some love for Rasho! I was getting worried that perhaps he spends all day reading these boards and was probably starting to feel like he needed a hug.

[ChumpDumper]

Dalembert was mostly on Duncan, but Rasho was getting blocked out by both on the boards. In the second half Rasho was using his reach over the smaller Sixers to keep rebounds alive down low, much like against the Knicks.
