Nazr: I'll Never Be A Shotblocker

Could Mass get suspended for throwing the elbow?

If so, then Nazr better get his butt off the bench tomorrow night.

'suspended for throwing the elbow"

isn't any hit above the shoulders a suspension?

Whether Narz is a shotblocker or not is NOT the point. Blocking shots is just ONE way of defence. Sometimes, boxing out, getting offensive board, or being able to alter offender's shot is even more effective. Thus, even if Narz isn't a shotblocker, he can still be a good & tough defender! And, that's what the Spurs is looking for - a tough defender.

Pop said Nazr is likely to play Saturday against Denver.
