I think there's a direct correlation between learning the Spurs defense and actually getting playing time.
You hate on Nazr like he's getting 30 minutes a night.
yeah the blocked shots, picks set for open shots for other players, and interior d, just sucked big ass today.that's because Rasho is not very good

Been here a year,
lots of practice time.
Lots of in game time last year and this year.
And he still cannot understand it.
But yet, should get more minutes.
Makes sense.
It simply looks like he doesn't even practice with the team.
Agreed. He should have picked up they system through sheer osmosis by now. Against a team like Indy that is primarily shooting jumpers, he's an asset. Against any team that is willing to attack the basket, he's the human foul machine and revolving door on defense.
His liabilities were masked enough to win a championship last year so i don't think he needs to be Alonzo Morning for the spurs to be successful. Because Tim isn't the prolific scorer he once was offensive rebounding has become more important. Today's game without the 2nd chance points would have been an easy victory for the pacers.
Nazr needs to get back to playing as well as he did against Denver and at times Phoenix last year and the spurs will be back to being very tough to beat.
If Finley could ever be consistent then watch out.
spurs only won a championship with Nazr as the starting center and he was a lot worse last year.
I see some slight improvements, especially stepping out on the shooters.
Masked by Horry for the most part, which would apply to Rasho too for the preceding games.His liabilities were masked enough to win a championship last year so i don't think he needs to be Alonzo Morning for the spurs to be successful.
I'm not looking for much improvement from either.
We'll need both.
spurs didn't need rasho last year and I hopefully they don't need him this year either. Not to be critical, but not needing Rasho would mean Nazr is back if not better than he was last year.
He'll be the same at best. He had every opportunity to get more time earlier in the season.Not to be critical, but not needing Rasho would mean Nazr is back if not better than he was last year.
I guess you can hope for another Rasho injury.
as always with our discussions I'll let time prove me right. Why do you talk so silly by putting words in my mouth, when did I ever say I wish for a Rasho injury?
Nevertheless, I surrender you win.
Fine with me. I've always said Mohammed is the only guy holding Mohammed back. All he has to do is defend better.
You know it.
I know it.
Nazr knows it.
The American public knows it.
If he gets better on D he'll play more. That's always been my position and I hope Nazr does it.
Actually, you'd have a pretty good center... In fact, you'd have something kind of like what David did for us in the last 2-3 years of his career. It's pretty sad that for one game, even now, I'd take a 40-year-old david over both of our current centers.
Hence, my hope that Rasho sits by the end of the year. Not by his own doing but because Nazr's play demands he plays more. Won't be room for two centers come playoffs because Horry will gobble up minutes.If he gets better on D he'll play more. That's always been my position and I hope Nazr does it.
We live in hope.
he delivered last year, so I have reason to hope. BTW, without Nazr today the spurs lose.
I've been able to say that about Rasho a total of maybe 10 times since he's been here.
He's kinda like Jack in that he keeps both teams in the game.
Nazr was keeping the Pacers in the game? Interesting, I thought it was Tim sucking on O and missing FTs. Or maybe Manu turning the ball over. But you are probably right, Nazr holds the spurs back lol. Almost forgot, how bout Finley throwing up brick after brick.
Spoken like someone who has obviously never played a lick of ball in their life.Been here a year,
lots of practice time.
There's a stark difference between practice experience and game experience.
Spurs Needed Nazr In Training Camp But His Wife Had A Baby And Complications
Nazr Would Have Learn Then
Spurs Do Not Even Get To Practice But Like 6-8 Times A Month Due To Their Schedule During The Season
^^^^^ ducks hit it on the head.
Wait a minute, ducks just made sense? Someone check the temp. in ...![]()
Your examples citing offense say it all.
Nazr knows what he has to do.
you make too much sense. Let them have Rasho as their starting center. Thank goodness Pop eventually plays the best players at the end of the year.
Yup, that's why the spurs signed offensive guys this offseason and not defensive. Bownen, Manu, Tim, and Tony are more defense than any other team can handle. Spurs need offense because when they've lost in the past it was due to offense and not defense.
For example, when porter and ferry couldn't throw it in the ocean from '00 to '02. Then Hedo and his offensive suckidis.
Then the reason why the spurs signed Grob last year (offense baby)!
