Have you missed the 4 blocks and 2 steals?
You can't just go by stats. Rasho plays defense you can't put defense into stats.

Yeah, only four boards, but he had a lot more balls tapped out to our guards that he doesn't get credit for.
Is Marcus and his 84 aliases the new forum troll hotness?
Question.
the fact that he block 4shots doesnt erase he was a joke offensively and on the boards
He isn't here to average 10+PPG he's here to play defense and back up Duncan defensively
The fact that you didn't watch the game doesn't erase the fact that you still don't know what you're talking about.
ROFL Do you really think rasho is there to score 20points a game....Quote:

MB used to have some credibility . . .
By the way, Rasho had a great game. Props to him.

Who is SpursFan posting as now?
I wouldn't really call grabbing rebounds good defense, well that's my opnion. Snatching for loose balls and staying infront of your man and putting a hand in his face and playing good help/weak side.
I'm wondering how someone that didn't saw the game starts a thread to critisize a player's performance he hasn't even seen....

Look at the big difference in performance from Okur with or without Rasho on the floor. Defense is much more complicated than just grabbing boards, and thank god for that or MB would be a much better poster and the Mavericks a better team.
Have you ever played basket ball? :lolQuote:

I missed the first three quarters but the parts of the game i saw Rasho was tearin it up, blocking shots, making great passes, excellent defense. The dude can sometimes make mental errors but when he plays like this he deserves all the credit he's due.
Rasho has played very well lately, I gotta hand it to him. If he keeps playing with this kind of intensity, he will also start getting more respect from the refs. Dude gets robbed of a lot of clean blocks because he's so passive that they like making him a whipping boy. He does still need to get better on the defensive boards though. He's a better offensive rebounder than a defensive one.
Rasho played extremely well in the fourth. We would have lost this game if it weren't for his defense in the fourth.
maybe people are waking up to my arguements for Rasho???
nah. Hes still a stiff, horrible, pathetic.
Props to me and Aggie for being the only ones to stick by Rasho, not counting Slovenians.
Do you really understand basketball or just look at the box score one of the reasons we won tonight was because of RASHO present on the floor in the 4qtr. :drunkQuote:

Becouse Rasho should have 15 reb/game and noone in NBA wants that. Shit even at this board only a few wonted this.
How do you expect more points if he shot only 1/3. Give him a ball.
I'm not Slovenian.Quote:

T Park, you know your boy is playing better. Don't act like he's been doing this all season. A broken clock is right twice a day.

it would be tempting.
I was listening to the game and was amazed when he only got credit for 4 Rbs - does anyone think he got jabbed on this number?

Its you haters, haven't bothered to notice.
His defense and tipouts and rebounds have been there all year long.
Smeagol,
Once again, you never stepped up for Rasho, at all, you slammed him, thats my fuckin point.
SolidD sorry bro, I forgot youve had my back in the Rasho arguments, thanks.
Props to all three of us.
OMG T Park, giving yourself props?!! :lol
I've watched the same games as you, and give him credit now that he is playing better. Why can't you admit that he's playing better?
Kori, could you interview Rasho and ask him if he thinks he's playing better than before?
Rasho has had great games all year long. He has had some indifferent games too. He is not as consistant as we would like, but overall, I have been happy with him.
wtf why not, no one ever does when Im right, im always discounted.Quote:
giving yourself props
Fuck it, Ill do it.
I was right, have been right, fuck you haters.

I know, Im sad to admit, our starting center is afraid to dunk. But who doesnt know that? Hell the entire NBA knows that. Rasho is the sleeping giant on the team, he's got the frame to dominate but has no intensity (except for when he is blowing air out of those cheeks, why?? who knows, but man that is funny) its like he is getting ready for a lap underwater.. lol.
i give Rash alot of credit for yesterday, but utah is not what we measure rasho against. it's vs. amare (surely), shaq (maybe), and sheed (probobaly). his D on those players is what will matter.....
but there's no hate for him based on yesterday's performance....he came through. keep it up rash. :smokin
Rasho's defense has gone unnoticed a lot this season. But he definitely hasn't been playing this well all season. He has stepped up his D a lot over the last few games ... he's been in great position and he's been more aggressively defensively than I've ever seen him.
You may be right handed, but your dead wrong about Rasho.Quote:

if trading malik lit a fire under his ass and that helps bring home the rings, all is forgiven.
Rasho hasn't GAF the whole season until after the All-Star break. He's finally playing like he cares.
Congrats.
I want to see which Rasho shows up for the playoffs.
He's definitely picked up his intensity since the all-star break, and I'd say he's upped it another notch after the Malik trade.
With the other team shooting in 50%, 2 Points and 4 Blocks is Like 6 Points, but when you Block four times, the players think twice before take a shot
"You never stepped up for Rasho". WTF does that mean? I gave him props in three different threads since yesterday night. I've even started one myself making fun of your friend Sequ.Quote:

I am not a hatter but, like almost everybody in this board, I believe the guy is a good deffnesive center, but his offensive game sucks bigtime (and he is a little bit on the soft side).
Ye that would be interresting, i think i never heard rasho speak english before, i wonder if he speaks anything like beno lately...Quote:

"before Nazr trade"
OK, good point. Since we don't _know_ why, what's your guess?
1. Did the Spurs trading away Malik, a Spurs fixture, part of the damn Spurs woodwork, scare Rasho that it could happen to him, too (and REALLY likes it here in SA)?
or...
2. Do you think Rasho is scared that Nazr could, sooner or later, demote Rasho to backup 5?
I don't think it is restricted to BN and AN....nor, do I consider that an opinion of fools. I do agree that Rasho has been on again and off again. I just think that some people are starting to watch with more awareness and understanding of what Rasho does offensively and defensively to help the team play more efficiently.Quote:

I'd like to give an example of Rasho on offense and some of the little things he does that others don't consistently do.
Robert Horry gets the ball on the baseline and makes a surprisingly unabated move to the basket for an outstretched dunk. Fans might see that play and say, great pass to the open man and an even better aggressive move to the cup by Robert. What they might not notice is that Mehmet Okur was being detained (locked-up) by Rasho in the lane, keeping the baseline free for Robert. That's system basketball.
When TP or Manu come off the side or middle screens with Timmy or Robert, we sometimes scratch our heads at how the Red Sea parts and there is free space after the first wave. Why? Because Rasho comes across from the other block and seals the help defender (usually his own defender led out of the way) in a fairly smooth but crafty manner.
You just have to watch more guys as a play develops but, with practice, is an acquired and developed ability.
^^^ That shit doesn't matter though Solid, I mean, ask the resident experts here in the forum.
Thanks for calling me a fool because I disagree totally!Quote:

His role in Pop's system is very precisely defined and I think that everybody knows what Rasho's priorities must be according to Pop.
Now could he be better? I certainly wish he would be. Should he be more aggressive? Same answer. BUT ONLY IF IT DOES NOT AFFECT WHAT HIS PRIMARY ASSIGNMENTS ARE! Because what he brings to the game currently is important to this team's results.
I also think that his popularity on this forum has improved much more after his ankle injury than after the Nazr trade. He has steadily improved since coming back from injury and fans have been paying more attention.
And please stop confusing his timid and modest demeanour with fear and/or lack of interest. Believe me he cares. He cares about winning as much if not more than any fan on this forum.
I know the Christian thing to do is turn the other cheek, but I'm not that religious. So AHF STFU you moron!
Solid, I have watched every single game. I'm not comparing by stats alone. Do you or do you not believe that Rasho has been playing better lately?Quote:

I get frustrated when he doesn't dunk and when he's not keeping his head and hands up and ready for passes (like against Chicago).
Rasho dominated the game on defense, especially in the fourth. Okur could get any shot he wanted while Duncan was guarding him, but Rasho shut him down and controlled the lane at the same time.
It was kind of cool to see how much a player could dictate the flow of the game without putting up any numbers statistically.
Totally agree, the only exception I would add is that he's been playing decently since February, some people seem to think it conicided with the trade of Malik/Nazr but that's not accurate....Quote:

Now he has been pretty much on. And it's much more noticeable what he does on defense.
I've seen almost every game, and there is a big difference in the Rasho right now and the Rasho pre injury.
Will Rasho play tonight or he is ill?
I heard on the Ticket radio that Rasho should play tonight and that Timmy could play, also.Quote:
