Spot Number 38 - Top 50 Spurs

[Sense]

I dare you to quote me where I was suggesting that Rasho contributed in some all star way during the playoff run. He was a role player and Pop decided his role.
Did you even read what I wrote? Functionally illiterate much?
Read it again...think about it...come back latter.

Oh, and about that butt hurt thing...It's time for you to let go.

Rasho was a starting Center on Championship team and nobody can take that away from him no matter how hard you try.

You mean before Nazr replaced him for the playoffs?

This is getting worse than pathetic by now.

You guys must be really, really bored.

What did Steve Kerr do to ensure the Spurs won a Ring?

What did Brent Barry do to ensure the Spurs won a Ring?

Thanks for playing, enjoy your invalid list.

Fact check much? Rasho sprained his ankle and never got his job back, even when he was healthy. He started zero games and put up 26 minutes total in the finals. Nazr was the starting center on that team.

how the PJ Carlesimo still not chosen?!! he had a significance part in 3 championships

Fact check much?

San Antonio
Season 2003-04:
Games played: 82, Games started 82
Season 2004-05:
Games played: 70, Games started 70
Season 2005-06:
Games played: 80, Games started 51

Total games played (regular season):232,
Total games started (regular season) 203

Playoffs:
Total games played:34
Total games started: 11

To sum it up for you.

In the time he spent with Spurs he played total of 266 games
In the time he spent with the Spurs he STARTED 214 GAMES.

That is a starting Center in my book.

Now if you don't like the FACTS...go cry in the corner.

Your book is clearly flawed.

I don't mind facts, it's just when they are incorrect or used to try to prove an irrelevant point that I take issue. Rasho was indeed a starting center for the vast majority of his time as a Spur, but he didn't start for the Spurs in the playoff run that led to the championship, only for the ones that didn't. That means he's not the starting center for a championship team. Period. Since that is the factual basis for your support of Rasho, you lose. Period. He started 88 percent of the regular season games, and 32 percent of the playoff games. He started one playoff game in the last two years he was with the Spurs, and zero during the year they won the championship.

Your logic is brilliant. You agree that he was a starting Center for the Spurs for three years. But that becomes somehow irrelevant, because he didn't play as much in the playoffs?
Look dude, smarter people than me said: "Even the longest journey starts with the first step". I hope you are smart enough to figure this one out.
I also hope you are smart enough to understand that basketball is a team game with coach deciding roles for his player (going small for example). There will always be leaders and water carriers. As I said in my original post, Rasho was a role player and a very good one, for that matter. It's not like Spurs excelled since he left. Oberto may be slightly better offensive player, as for defense...it's not even close.
And if you can't understand what I mean, than that is your problem and not Rashos. Again, if somebody started 214 games out of 266 in 3 seasons with the Spurs, that must be an indication of something. (can you say STARTING CENTER?)

Who's the one with a reading comprehension problem? I clearly stated two posts ago that Rasho was the starting center for the Spurs for most of his time with the team, but correctly pointed out that he was zero factor in the playoff run that resulted in the championship, despite your attempt to imply otherwise in order to draw votes from people too lazy to check your facts. Nowhere have I said that Rasho wasn't a great team defender, but the fact is that he became so ineffective that Pop decided that Finley and Horry were better options on the front line than Rasho, so much so that he put Oberto as a rookie ahead of him in the rotation during the playoffs. The fact is that Rasho couldn't get off the bench for his last two postseasons as a Spur. The fact is that they won a championship the year he was replaced as the starter.

Nazr Mohammed was the starting center for a championship team. So was Oberto. The best you can say about Rasho is that he was the starting center during the regular season for a defending champion that failed to repeat. Throw numbers around all you like, but as soon as you start making up you're going to get called for it.
