    NAZR MOHAMMED


    I still don't know why he isn't getting that much playing time. Rasho has been playing well and deserves the playing time, but what about Nazr. He was a big part of last year's run. How can he all of a sudden come from a starter on a championship roster to barely getting any playing on the last line of the bench. 13 mins a game compared to 23 last year.

    I thought pop might have been playing CIA in the first round to get Nazr angry and play him in the Dallas series but no. That hasn't happened. Nazr isn't hurt and hasn't had a good run in a game in the playoffs.

    I think people on this board miss ing about Nazr's play. You know who you are.

    Nazr is going to have to be ready and playing come finals time against those "wallace boys" (Sir Charles). Or maybe pop thinks otherwise. If it's about the 3 pt shot, pop please get over it. That would be wrong. All I am saying is he is going to have to get some consistent playing time. He's not exactly a great defender, but I think we could use his energy and rebouding.

    Is there something going on between pop and Nazr that I don't know?

    Yes. And we've seen only brief flashes of that particular Nazr since. Where the did he go? If you see him, please tell him to report to the AT&T Center tomorrow night.

    You're right, the Spurs could use Nazr energy and rebounding-they are just waiting on him to show some signs that he could provide it.

    Because he get's his weak ass sh!t blocked by everyone and their mother...and he can't play good straight up defense against another big guy...that's my guess...

    A caged dog builds up his anger and, once set free, releases that anger with a vengeance on unsuspecting victims.

    Nazr plays his best when he's trying to earn minutes and respect.

    If we want him gone, he has to play well to get this trade value up. Dude has to at least play some this series. Come on.

    Nazr's a free agent this summer. The last game the Spurs play these playoffs will be his last in a Spurs uniform, for I haven't seen much from him this season that would entice the powers that be to bring him back.

    I don't care if Nazr doesn't come back after this year but we are going to need his physicality against Detroit. Period.

    Rasho's wilting ass is a prescription for certain failure against that team.

    Just a thought, could it be that Pop is trying to decrease his playing time and contributions so as to reduce the amount of money his agent will ask for?

    there is no way nazr is coming back. pop would give him pt if he was producing at all, the goal is a ring here.

    Horry played pretty darn well as the starter in game 1. He can stretch the opposing defenses better and open things up for Duncan.

    When Rasho is coming off the bench the goal is for someone to play good position defense and not screw up. Rasho has filled that need.

    We'll need Nazr if we make it to the Finals. . .his chance is coming.

    What would you do if you kept giving the dog treats and he just kept biting your leg?

    Is that metaphor mixed up enough?

    He'll get his chance if the Spurs get past Dallas. He lit up Pho and he will be needed if it is v. Brand and Kaman...then perhaps the Pistons.

    I really miss Beno. Nazr is like Rasho to me: Good only if there is no better.

    I've never seen a guy get dumped to the end of the bench for making a three pointer before.

    ^^^ lol

    Nazr needs to realize that all those minutes he got during the regular season were just filler minutes. Come post-season, those minutes belong to Horry.

    the only Western teams we need a C in the starting lineup against are Houston, and maybe Denver if Camby is playing well. The small lineup works better against Dallas. Nazr isn't around for us to up pick & roll defense, and having four shooters on the floor spaces out their D and makes Diop and Dampier less of a factor on Manu and Tony's drives. Also, it's harder to double team Tim with 4 small guys out there, and if they do double him, it's harder to cover the 3 when he kicks it out.

    We don't really need a C on defense either, since you don't have to really guard the Mavs Cs. They don't touch the ball much at all. Tim is free to help out on any drivers in the lane.
