Malik Rose remains the most underappreciated player in Spurs history. Time and time again he stepped up in the postseason at crucial moments.
Nazr "The Prophet" Mohammed's performances excite Spurs fans because they haven't seen a real starting center for the last season and a half.
Damn, forgot to type it in lowercase. Oh well.
I haven't mentioned it, but yeah -- the original post in thread is uncalled for.
Don't need to hate one player to like another.
We owe Malik our gratitude.

We were taking both of them.
And I think there was near universal agreement on that...
You want proof? Check the date of the last post in that thread before today...then check the day Rasho got injured.
And if they had both continued playing at that level they both would have been on the playoff roster...
Nazr's emergence as the clear choice in the following days gave the Spurs the luxury of gambling on Devin Brown. And Nazr emerged in the game where Rasho got injured...
Fuck it's not like there was a shortage of minutes at that time...Quote:
Wouldn't you have preferred to give all Nazr's minutes to Marks at that point since he was so clearly better in your opinion?
Well the only thing you could argue in Nazr's favor is that he played well with Duncan...how do you know Marks can't? The 5 minutes of PT he's had with him in the last 2 years?Quote:
Shouldn't Marks be starting now?
And we weren't looking for a starter at the time either...we were looking for a guy who could produce off the bench...somthing Nazr still hasn't proven he could do...
I think he still is...he was still injured during the Denver series.Quote:
Shouldn't Nazr still be injured?

Rasho's still a better defender than Nazr. And that's important to this team.
On top of that Rasho wanted to come here and gave up big $$$ to do so...I don't know why Spurs fans hate on players that do that...they should be kissing their asses.
Says who? You? Do you have a quote from Pop about that one?Quote:

But according to you Marks was so clearly better and Nazr was so clearly injured and not going to get healthy. That goes against everything you predicted.Quote:

lol, yet another alternate timeline. I'll look for your book on Amazon.Quote:

And how would you say that's affecting him? How much better do you think he could be if fully healthy right now? Doesn't that make your injury argument more of a joke?Quote:

You know when you've lost an argument? When you're trying to legitimize Sean Marks as an NBA starting center. :lolQuote:
how do you know Marks can't?
How do you know WHAT we were looking for. We were looking for any kind of an upgrade to our depth at the PF/C spots, the staff felt Nazr was such an improvement over Rose.Quote:

Better yet, we've found our true David Robinson replacement. I don't know why you are wondering about Nazr coming off the bench, because he will start every game he ever plays for the San Antonio Spurs.
This is comical, you should really just shut up. About all you are clinging to now on Nazr are
1. He sucked two months ago when he was hurt and trying to learn the playbook and how to play with his teammates.
2. He hasn't proven he can contribute coming off the bench (when the guy is starting for us, and will be as long as he's a Spur).
Take your medicine and move on, you lost this one a long time ago.
Nazr was an improvement over Rasho.
