Rasho injured: Happy now haters?

[whottt]

Be careful what you wish for...because you might just get it...

[SequSpur]

Nobody wished shit on him. He plays a vital part on this team and it is vital that he is consistent and brings a game with him night in and night out.

I would assume, he broke it, as it didn't look to good. So, assuming he is done for the year, what options do the Spurs have at Center? Massenburg? Horry? Malik? Who else is out there? You see, the Spurs are loaded in the front court and weak in the post. None of these fellas can play center without getting exposed.

Pop needs to deal.

[Sense]

Suns, and the fans shouldn't be happy for this win, without Rasho, our defense greatly decreases, mostly because Horry is also injured.

Bro, a win is a win. No matter what happens. They are short handed too and they don't give a crap about Rasho and Horry.

[diceman]

If Rasho is out for an extended time or possibly the year then enter Malone. Yes, Evil!

[PM5K]

Second degree sprain, and how does Malone a six nine forward replace a seven foot one center ?

[Kori Ellis]

How do you know it's a second degree sprain?

[exstatic]

The announcers said he was wheeled out in a chair for Xrays.

[SequSpur]

PM5K = Jim Gray

[ShoogarBear]

Just said X-rays negative for a fracture.

[boutons]

I bet the put Rasho in IR, and activate Sean. TMass can't play significant minutes due his his stupid/klutzy 1 foul/5 minute "production"

we've been very lucky with injuries this year.

[Kori Ellis]

I'd imagine that he has some sort of ligament damage the way he screamed. But I hope not.

[Jekka]

Man, the ONE game he's playing well and he goes down.

I expected a better post from your previous bash....


:depressed

Btw, you're wrong.

[exstatic]

Well, Horry is back next game, and they can activate Marks.

[timvp]

Time for Sean Marks to put up or shut up now. For everything that Rasho is, he isn't a wimp in regards to pain. I've never seen him hurt other than when he rolled his ankle against the Lakers last year in game six.

But tonight he yelled as he was going down. Not a good sign.

Get well soon.

[Jimcs50]

torn tendon, from what the radio said...out for the year...fuckyou Sequ!

[timvp]

Don't believe jimcs50.

[T Park]

second degree, Sean Elliott just confirmed.

Almost the same injury as Kobe Bryant.


Hes gone for about 2 weeks.


Pop's shot at the All Star game just went to shit.


Marcus Bryant and Sequ Spur are dancing in the streets as we speak.

[Jimcs50]

ESPN radio said he is out for the year in all probability.

[1Parker1]

No way, he's out for the year?!

This sucks big time...

[Kori Ellis]

Well since he hasn't had an MRI yet, I don't think any diagnosis is for sure until they can do that tomorrow.

[ShoogarBear]

Are you listening to bizzaro radio, Jim?

[diceman]

Second degree sprain, and how does Malone a six nine forward replace a seven foot one center ?

The Spurs would be bolstering the front court with a tough PF. If Malone did start you move Duncan to center. Not brain surgery there. I'm not a Malone fan at all. In fact I can't stand him. Lets hope for the best for Rasho!!

[PM5K]

Yeah second degree as Sean said..... I don't know about two weeks, he did scream when he twisted that ankle but at least he put some pressure on it as he walked off, I'm sure the wheelchair was the trainers idea, not his...

[whottt]

So, assuming he is done for the year, what options do the Spurs have at Center? Massenburg? Horry? Malik?

Actually the best solution is to move Duncan to C and start Malik...Horry will still be the defacto starter even though he is coming off the bench...

Seems like a no-brainer to me...Horry's only played a similar role on 5 NBA Champions, and he played that role as a straight PF on the most recent dynasty.

And I don't want to hear this shit about Duncan not wanting to play C...

#1.He's less likely to get in foul trouble playing C than PF since there are a hell of a lot more AS caliber PF's in the NBA than there are C's.

#2.If Amare can play C, a position he is totally unfit to play, and lead his team to this kind of start, Duncan can damn sure do it. Sometimes you gotta do what's good for the team and Duncan at C makes more sense than anything else.

#3.Observe the final years of Drob's career...sometimes you have to make sacrifices...Duncan going from being the best PF in the NBA to the 1st or 2nd best C is hardly the kind of sacrifice Drob made. He just needs to STFU and do it.

[MannyIsGod]

Actually, now you'll see why Rasho is overrated

[Jimcs50]

ESPN radio...tune in now

[Jimcs50]

Actually, now you'll see why Rasho is overrated


yeah, overrated, he blocks shots, allows TD to get rest w/o giving up easy drives into the lane when TD is resting, he allows TD to rest some on D....yeah he is overrated. :rolleyes

[ShoogarBear]

Unless the muscle is actually dangling from the bone, anyone who said he's out for the season without an imaging study is a complete idiot.

[T Park]

Yeha Manny, cause Massenburg will replace him perfectly.


Overrated lmao.

Whos to rate him other than me?? Everyone else here feels the same way.

He fills needs.

In two weeks when hes back, youll be saying, Damn, I guess, Rasho WAS doing well.

[MannyIsGod]

Well we'll see now won't we Jim?

[Guru of Nothing]

Maybe The Admiral is in shape to return.

What a sweet dream that is!

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Jim's trying to get a job as the team dentist.

[Jimcs50]

Unless the muscle is actually dangling from the bone, anyone who said he's out for the season without an imaging study is a complete idiot.

apparently there is a medical person in the lockerroom that leaked it to ESPN radio...that is what they said...I was in my car driving home listening to radio and that is what was reported.

[Jimcs50]

Now we will not win the title...all because of you haters' bad mojo on our own player....shame of your asses

[Kori Ellis]

Well, no medical person would know that without an MRI since the xrays were negative. And he hasn't had an MRI yet.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

*Desperately searching for "Rocky Top"*

[Jimcs50]

Where did my thankyou Sequ thread go???


So, you do not blame Sequ for this disaster???? That is BS!!

well, wtf would ESPN radio lie to me????

I was so pissed I almostdrove over the curb coming home

A an orthorpedic specialist can someimes tell by how much play, looseness there in a joint, compared with the other joint, whether the ligament is stretcehed/torn/popped.

I think the problem with that is technically the Spurs start two centers in Tim and Rasho, and as good as Malone is he isn't a center....

[Jimcs50]

Jim Gray, M.D.


probably was Jim Gray

[SequSpur]

No, you are a warlock


Again, you blaming me is very weak.

[Jimcs50]

Sequ, I am not serious, but I think you should feel a little guilty.

[Jimcs50]

I am hoping that you guys are right and the report was premature and unfounded.

Please God!

[SequSpur]

Sequ, I am not serious, but I think you should feel a little guilty.

:)

For what?

I am not a wuss. Rasho is not a good center. What more do you want?

But...................

In today's NBA, there aren't very many good centers anyway....

Now is the chance for MARKS or someone else to take the reins and open Pop's eyes and show what this position needs....

A swift kick in the ass!

[Shelly]

They need a good Podiatrist. :spin

[SequSpur]

Exactly, they need Bob.

They don't need some tooth cleaner diagnosing a foot injury.

Damn straight! He could do a lot better in the locker room than yelling at the t.v.

[Man In Black]

Some people need to learn how to pop open a medical book and understand what a 2nd degree sprain is. Look, Rasho did a straight roll of the ankle from the heel down. It's different than what happened to Kobe Bryant because his roll was from the metarsals so ligamental stretching aka sprains would be much more severe. Rasho being 255 lbs and coming down is a lot of force but since it was a straight roll. His healing rate, provided that there are no chip fractures, should result in him being out 3 weeks or so, but he could be back in 2 but in limited minutes.
If you all didn't notice, THIS MEANS YOU SEQU. The Spurs are getting out rebounded and Massenburg is being exposed because he doesn't take up the space that Nesterovic does and he doesn't understand defensive positioning as well as Rasho. Horry being out exacerbates the issue because it allows for PHX's athletecism to push the pace. You can't push the pace if you don't rebound the ball. WITHOUT RASHO, REBOUNDING BECOMES THAT MUCH TOUGHER.

[SequSpur]

I see the migration is here again.

MIB, Rasho is not a fucking rebounder. So your take that without Rasho the Spurs can't get rebounds is bullshit. If you haven't noticed, Rasho rarely plays in the fourth quarter at all. And against most teams he is absolutely a no show in the rebound column.

You're shits weak, as usual.

This means you.

[T Park]

Rasho is not a fucking rebounder.

No no not at all...


Rasho rarely plays in the fourth quarter at all.


Clipper game?




And against most teams he is absolutely a no show in the rebound column.

What about the nights when he kicked your bf Brad Miller's ass with 12 boards and Miller only gettin 6.

No answer on those nights.

[SequSpur]

Tpark,

Go research NBA.com and come and see me. Look at the whole picture. Rasho is not known as a rebounder.

Geeze.

[Spurminator]

Losing Rasho sucks. But I think we missed Horry more this game. He might have been able to do something about Marion in the third... anything.

[ShoogarBear]

LBut I think we missed Horry more this game. He might have been able to do something about Marion in the third... anything.

Good point.

Let's wait to see how this turns out, though.

[Ghost Writer]

Actually, I am just upset that it's harder to trade damaged goods.

[Ghost Writer]

Screw Rasho.

He holds the Spurs back.

Start Malik.

Activate Marks.

[boutons]

"Horry being out"

Horry's rebounding has sucked for several weeks now.

"WITHOUT RASHO, REBOUNDING BECOMES THAT MUCH TOUGHER"

As I pointed out in the last couple days, the Spurs team RB diff has slipped from NBA-best +4 to a little over +3, second place.

And that just wasn't Rasho alone.

The HOU and LAC were +10 RBs. SAC was +3 RB in that horrible loss. The Spurs losses correspond pretty well with -RB diff. Early on, PHX was quite a bit up in RBs, (PHX is 28th in RB diff).

Without Rasho, the Spurs team ended the PHX game +3 RBs, with Spurs bench getting 16 RBs! RB is something that Sean can help with. As the Tall Blacks leader in Greece (has Rasho ever been saddled with team leadership?), I thought he was very active in general hustle. He could at least hustle RBs to justify activation and minutes.

I hope the Spurs understand, with or without Rasho, that all of them have to concentrate on following their own shot, and quit spectating shots, and get back to everybody crashing the boards, getting into position, finding a man to block out (aka Basketball Camp 101).

Note the #1 in RB diff now is Pistons, as they start to get some hustle back into their game.
