Nazr's First Start As a Piston

**Aggie Hoopsfan** · 10-10-2006

16 points, 8 boards, 4 steals, 2 blocks tonight for Detroit. Yeah, it's pre-season, but if Malik ever had a game like this in NY half the board would be going nuts, even if it came from an intra-squad scrimmage..

So much for old man Dale Davis beating him out

**Big P** · 10-10-2006

Not really impressed...Shaq only played 17 minutes..I'm not saying that Nazr won't be a good player for Detroit, but its one preseason game.

**timvp** · 10-10-2006

Still waiting on Nazr to average 10 and 10 on the Spurs

**ploto** · 10-10-2006

Nazr has a pattern of starting out well and causing people to get their hopes up, and then he disappoints and moves onto yet another team.

**Vinnie_Johnson** · 10-10-2006

Just wait until he starts eating he is going to be a nice pick up for The Pistons.

Not to get too excited too soon, however it's quite possible Nazr could out-produce both Elson and Oberto this season.

**Louie Vega** · 10-11-2006

Nazr!

**RuffnReadyOzStyle** · 10-11-2006

Don't tell me he's learned how to catch!?

For mine, his terrible hands, pump-pump-pump-pump fakes (remember how many times he was blocked by the Pistons in the 2005 Finals? Eugggh), and lack of a clue on how to play weakside help D made him excruciating to watch. I'm glad we re-tooled for half the price. That said, he did help us to the 05 ring, so thanks for that.

Let's revisit this thread in January, then again in April. My prediction - he'll not be putting up numbers like that regularly.

We shall see.

**SenorSpur** · 10-11-2006

All I know is Elson better "raise his game" to a career level. Run the floor, get some cheap baskets and put backs.

The first time I saw him do that I laughed my ass off! And he would always get his blocked! LOL

**baseline bum** · 10-11-2006

Samaki Walker had a preseason back in 1999 where he put up numbers like that every game. That turned out great.

**mavsfan1000** · 10-11-2006

Nazr was responsible for a lot of regular season wins for the spurs last year. I think he's underrated here and will be missed.

**ShoogarBear** · 10-11-2006

I wonder who's gonna do the I-told-you-so-post honors the first time Rasho has 10 points?

Don't worry.
The law of averages says that will probably only happen once this season.
No need to panic.

If there was a vBookie all my money would be on Angel_Luv

Preseason means so much, too. Last year for the 2-8 preseason Spurs, Melvin had a game with 18 and 5 and Beno had a game with 20 and Van Exel had a game with 10 in 16 mins.

The nightmare shake!

Reading this sent shivers down my spine. People in the SBC were shouting in disbelief more than once when he tried his patented pump fakes under the basket.

I'll try my best, but Angel is going to be hard to beat
