Elson/Oberto vs. Rasho/Nazr

[zeleni]

Nazr and Rasho never really played the playoffs together. Saying that the comparison becomes senseless.

Nazr played no defense, grabbed RBs he needn't, and ignored teamplay.
Rasho understood his role, played defense while no offense was given to him since he displayed no passion.
They together were hardly the two-headed monster Nazr said they were.

Elson/Oberto played a preseason together, team was working intensely on fitting the pieces and are awesome. I have a great feeling about them. But none of them can do what Rasho does, and Pop was great to notice, the team doesn't need that heavy defense presence in the West anymore.

He did that for just a few games of the playoffs. He's like Speedy Claxton, people remember a couple games and pretend in their heads that was the norm.

I totally agree on the Nazr comment. Nazr was good for two or three games in the playoffs but was scrubbish in a few games too. However, Speedy was consistently good for the Spurs. If Speedy wouldn't have gotten hurt he might have taken the starting role from Tony.

Nevertheless, Speedy is an excellent "backup" point guard.

I've now seen three different sets of figures on blocks per game.

"Elson/Oberto: 1.17 blocks
Rasho/Nazr: 1.71 blocks"

"you forgot about D...
Elson/Oberto: 1.1 bpg
Rasho/Nazr: 3.1 bpg "


"Rasho/Nazr : 2.3 bpg"

Come on guys, get your together. Not that one category would make any difference. The stats thus far aren't conclusive, but lean to the new tandem.

I like the new tandem. They give us different things, but on the whole I think they will work out better and at a price that gives us more flexibility.

Come on guys, get your together. ...

2.3 is the average number of blocks for 2006-07 Rasho/Nazr, which is what the original poster is comparing. (2.33 if you want to be exact)

In the first set of numbers as he says in the post, Bruno is comparing 2005-2006 Rasho/Nazr and 2006-2007 Elson/Oberto.

I do not not know where the 3.1 stat came from.

ups i checked again... seems i made a sum of wrong figures.

but refering to champion 04/05 season, they combined for 2.7 (Rasho1.7 and Nazr 1.1).

and for 05/06 its combined 1.7bpg (rasho 1.1, Nazr 0.6)

Rasho did not play much so far in this season right now ,becouse Bosh is out he is playing more and very good.
