I like how a guy scoring 26 points and grabbing 19 rebounds needed to be bailed out in a game, especially when he kept his team in contention throughout the first 3 quarters when the other teammates played like crap.
In the First Round in 1995, David Robinson was 21-49 FG and 15-20 FT, for 57 points (19.0 ppg). He had a high game of 24 (Game 3). Big Dave averaged 6.7 rebounds per game in that series.
The Rod-Man averaged 10.0 ppg and 13.3 rpg.
In Dave's worst game of that series (Game 1) Robinson had 14 points; Rodman had 3 points (on 1-6 shooting).
In Game 2, Dave bounced back with 19 points; Rodman also had 19 points.
In Game 3, Dave dropped 24; Rodman had 8 points.
David wasn't great in that series, and Rodman's scoring numbers went up and his rebounding (11, 16, 13) was pretty consistent.
What's striking about the numbers from that series, though is the other role players. Elliott averaged 19 ppg on 54% shooting. Avery averaged 17.7 ppg on 62% shooting. And Del Negro averaged 11 ppg on 48% shooting. I can't remember the last time the Spurs went through a playoff series (any playoff series) with all 5 starters averaging double figures for the series. (at least I don't think I can remember. . . . .)

He rebounded because thats all the freak show could do.There are few people who can rebound like Rodman and he also plays defense.
Period.
He made up for his deficiancies in other areas by busting his ass and rebounding.
Ben Wallace is pretty much Rodman, I just have more respect for Wallace cause he has half a brain, and take the ball to the hole, and has a decent hook shot.
ROdman had ZERO offensive game.
He pretty much was Worse than Bruce Bowen on offense.
The defense??
Funny, everytime I saw him play D, it was against Malone, Horry, and Elden Cambell.
He was a decent defender, who got defensive player of the year awards cause of his defensive rebounding.
The guy was a traveling freak show, who focused JUST on rebounding.
I have more respect for more rounded players, than 1 sided players like that dumb .
Oh.. this is when David Robinson was the Spokesperson for Charmin.
He did get some points off of rebounds. That so called overrated player won 5 championships in his career.
David was never soft... this is a joke right? .. i'm holding my finger on the flame thrower...
He's talking to increase his post count, since he has nothing constructive to add much of the time.
Post count? I didn't label Robinson as soft. Hakeem planted it right on his forehead and kicked his ass right out of the building.
Now that's constructive.
So just because Hakeem was the better player in the series that suddenly makes Robinson soft? Bull . You don't believe that any more than all the other stupid antagonistic you've been tacking onto threads.
You must be one of those chalk up the regular season wins kind of fan.
I don't think Robinson was all that soft, but he definitely didn't have the balls to carry a team on his back and win a championship.
But hey, he built up the stats, he was a great community guy and he is a hall of famer.
You must be one of those smoking crack and having multiple personalities kind of fan, since you say "I don't think Robinson was all that soft" following "David Robinson was the Spokesperson for Charmin".You must be one of those chalk up the regular season wins kind of fan.

I agree completely that he didn't have the fire or the drive to carry the team the way champions do, and he proved it time and time again. Only a moron would try to argue that IMHO. That doesn't, however, make him soft. Hakeem played great, and Robinson was telling the truth when he said that he thought his defense was pretty good. Robinson never avoided contact or pretended to be hurt or complained about anything through his career. The same cannot be said of Hakeem.
Since you already know all this, you can fess up to the fact that the Charmin statement was simply intended to piss people off, and forgive me for letting Vashner in on the joke.
God, Horry was a ing assassin that game. David was phenomenal in the 4th quarter, but the team refused to guard the three point line.

Do you have these box scores? Can you provide a link?
Wrong, Ginobili and Bowen were having good games. Even Parker was solid in the first half. Horry was the reason the Spurs weren't up double digits by halftime when he missed about 3 easy layups.
I've looked and can't find them on the internet anymore.
All I have are hard copies from the newspaper.
So he's soft.
and youve done what Sequ??? thats right, STFU.
He coatailed Isaih and Jordan for all 5 lol, what EXACTLY is your point.That so called overrated player won 5 championships in his career
Hes got 5 rings so that makes him great??
Give me a break.
Jack Haley has 3 rings, does that make him as good as Tim Duncan?
I guess role players aren't needed than. He was a big part of the bulls winning 72 games in my opinion. The bulls might've been champions that year without Rodman but with him were unbelievabull. Rodman was even a bigger part of that Pistons team guarding Jordan and rebounding at an incredible mark.
Hakeem? Yes, I agree.
The score was tied at halftime. Even if Horry made all 3 layups, the Spurs would be up by 6. Besides, Ginobili and Bowen did not carry the offense, it was Duncan who really turned up a notch in that game and kept the Spurs close.
Their starting center was freakin Luc Longley.The bulls might've been champions that year
Does that tell you something???
It told me that Rodman had to make up for Longley's weaknesses. Like you mentioned before Rodman is like Ben Wallace and see how Detroit does without Ben Wallace. Rodman gave Chicago lots of extra possessions for Jordan to do his thing. That is more valuable than anything for a superstar to have players that do that.
Post all of them, NOW.
Please
Momentum was lost. It wasn't merely 6 points, those misses also started the Pistons fastbreak when they were having trouble scoring.
No Ginobili and Bowen didn't have GREAT games. But they certainly weren't bad. Ginobili had 9 assists, I doubt he was doing 'nothing'.
I wouldn't have any idea where to begin.Post all of them, NOW.
Please
