Re: Nazr's future with the Spurs!
all i know is Naz can dunk the damn ball and his vertical is over 1 inch. :tu
i like Nazr's foot speed just a tad bit more than Rasho's too. I mean, i'm sure Rash could beat Frankenstein in an all out sprint, but i think it would be close, that's all i'm sayin...:lol
Re: Nazr's future with the Spurs!
and what are Nazr's Playoff avg's compared to Rasho's Playoff avg's? I don't know. I'm asking with all sincerity. :tu
Re: Nazr's future with the Spurs!
I'm taking my sick self to bed now, so don't expect me to respond to your next post. :lol
People glamourize Nazr because of one or two good games in the postseason.
Bottomline is that neither Rasho or Nazr are that good offensively and Rasho is better on D.
And when it comes down to it, it's all about

Umm.... Rasho barely played in the playoffs, he was coming off injury and not in the playoff rotation.
If you compare Rasho's regular season numbers and Nazr's postseason numbers, they are super similar and about the same minutes. That's why it's a fair comparison.
Good night.
Re: Nazr's future with the Spurs!
fair enough K. but Horry won't be around forever. Naz is young and learning. As long as he doesn't price himself out of a Spurs uni. And unless a bigman upgrade is out there for the taking? I'm betting Naz is pop's choice. But i've been wrong before and will be again. :tu

And Nazr has one MORE year in the NBA.
Check out the spurs.com quotes from last night.
Spurs Head Coach Gregg Popovich
On the game - “It was a good win. We played pretty good defense throughout the game. A lot of people participated which is good, especially when you have a back-to-back. We had good team play.”
On Rasho Nesterovic - “Rasho was fantastic. He has played wonderfully for the last month. He’s getting the job done on the court. Tim is enjoying playing with him. They are working well together.”
Re: Nazr's future with the Spurs!
"Naz is young"
BS, he's 29, been in the NBA 7 years, 7,600 min PT
".. and learning"
BS, he's not. His BB IQ is very low. He's as lost as Oberto, who is not young, but only has 1 month and 130 min NBA PT.

If Nazr is Pop's choice, why isn't he playing more minutes?

I don't know that his basketball IQ is very low. It might not be on the same level as some others on the team, but I think "very low" is a stretch.
He does some things well. He knows how to get offensive boards. He's a pretty good rebounder, and that takes some basketball instinct. He's not as hideous in the post as some would like you to believe.
Rasho's certainly playing better, but I don't think this needs to turn into a "one rules the other one sucks" kind of competition. Rasho is a better defender, but Nazr is more aggressive around the rim. Both bring things to the table, and although Rasho is playing better right now and might ultimately be the better player, the differences between the two aren't large.
Re: Nazr's future with the Spurs!
Nazr's IQ is low when he still doesn't have a clue on:
assuming responsibility for rotating,
anticipating a drive by an opponent,
anticipating and blocking out lanes for our drivers,
and generally defending the Spurs paint.
He finishes poorly, all that famous pump faking and getting blocked, hasn't figured out how to catch the ball, has no jump shot, and he fucking spectates shots instead of heading for rebounding position and blocking out. Those are lacking individual fundamentals after 7 years in the NBA, has nothing do with missing Spurs camp.
