Come on Kori, we've taken other people's "trash" and made them into players before.
This team has been the poster child for a second chance.
Wasn't this topic about Rasho? How does balla involve Rasho? Dude, watch a game. You can't possible tell me that this guy isn't passive. The bad thing is, he is not even passive aggressive.

Question: What would the Spurs record be without Rasho? This year and last year?
Better?, no change?, Worse?
I would say no change to better.
We would be in horrible shape.
Rasho is to Tim what DRob was. He allows Tim to move away from the basket because Rasho can guard the paint and grab offensive rebounds just as well as David did. Remember last year when Tim was out? Rasho carried the team and kept their winning streak hot.
Wow, that's a bold statement. I guess if comparing strictly their on court roles then I guess there is some similarity. DRob was a better rebounder and in reality probably could have carried a much larger scoring load in his last years if he had been called upon to. And the reality of Rasho's rebounding is that for every actual rebound he gets there's usually another rebound that a spur gets to because Rasho tips it and keeps it alive.
People around here should know by now that you can't measure many of the guys on this team strictly by stats.
Rasho is passive. PERIOD.People around here should know by now that you can't measure many of the guys on this team strictly by stats.
This has to be one of the worst takes ever. Anybody who thinks that this is a slim possiblity is absolutely insane. Maybe if David Robinson was in a wheelchair.Rasho is to Tim what DRob was
Until David retired, he could hold down the paint all by himself. Robinson's neighborhood. Dude is a former MVP, 10 year allstar, Defensive player of the year, and many other accolades that could take up a whole forum page.
Rasho = David.
Sad.
Ask Tim if Rasho = David.

oooo McFly????
You were asking if last year, we did not have Rasho, not 7 yrs ago....
I am not talking about the DRob of his early years, I am talking about the last couple of yrs...look at the stats, look at the rebs and look at the defensive blks and changed shot.
Jim,
It is scripture that David did all the other things so that Tim could flourish. He put the scoring and the touches in Tim's hands. David could have easily averaged 20 and 10 on any team in the NBA in 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003. Rasho could never do that.
Your statement is ridiculous.
Your ridiculous.
Once again short , find a center that was available at the time, that was better.
STFU and go back to polishing your bowling wrist thing.
Sequ, your statement is pure conjecture, and wrong. DRob could not average 20 a night the last 2 trs, there is no ing way in . He was a cripple, a s of his former self, and could not play more than 28 mins a game. TD barely averages 20 a game for Crissakes...get off it.

Get a life moron.
I am trying to make a point here tpark. Is the bearded lady not home tonight?
Do I talk about your wife like that?
No I dont.
BTW, you making fun of my profession, even though I have nothing to do with a freak show, or a ferris wheel, or whatever or about people in freak shows,
when you could easily be in it, is kind of ironic, isnt it?
I like generalizations about people. Thanks Sequ, btw, go to the GTG, have fun.
Nice.Is the bearded lady not home tonight?
rasho has improved alot from last year
After all the hints we've been giving you on how to "watch" a game of basketball, you come out and say something like this.But, I will say this, the Center position is obsolete on most teams, therefore having someone like him on the team is not a necessity.
What's the matter with you?
One of the main reasons teams are shooting 40% on the Spurs this year, closer to 35% the last 6 or 7 games, is because Rasho is altering shots. He played Rasheed extremely well last night and he really bothered his shots, especially during the 3rd quarter dry spell.
I wish he'd dunk, so he deserves punishment for not dunking more, but he really changes things defensively when he's roaming the paint.
Tim plays the Center position frequently, Sequ. The 4 and 5 is pretty much the same in the Spurs offense, so have you forgotten everything you've learned Bubba? What's the matter with you?
Read the topic. We are talking about Rasho, The Enigma.Things are going so well for the Spurs that I have to nitpick here a little.
I don't get this dude.
I can't tell if I am a Rasho supporter or if I've given up on this dude.
If he did anything last playoffs, we might've gotten a third le.
Not to put the blame on him.
But this season, he looks worse than last year.
I kind of wonder what the front office was thinking when they figured they would replace the gentle giant, David Robinson, with Rasho, who looks like a oversized, scared little boy who spent time suffering in a third world country.
Rasho, you are 7 feet tall.
The Spurs are paying you good money.
We're not asking for a world beater, here.
Just act like you care, for krissakes.
David didnt dunk enough, but didnt get half the flack Rasho gets for it.
Once again, after 03 was over, the first thing the SPurs said, was we want a center replacement to give what David gave in 03, not a 95 David.
tparks in love with rasho
sigh.
See what I mean??
It never in ends with people like Aggie and Ice.
It just gets in old.
Remember the exciting 360 degree move TP made off the fast break that caused such an excitement within you earlier?
That break was made possible when Rasho pushed Ben Wallace off the block, left him on helpside baseline and then his 7 foot length altered Hunter's layup into a muff with Rasho rebounding and getting it to TP to create the 360 highlight.
The Center is not dead. Long live the Pivot.
When Parker or Manu drive the lane, Rasho and Tim back people out of there to clear the way for the penetrator. Watch the nuances of the game. Things that don't always show up on the stat sheets, folks.
Why does Rasho start and not play in the 4th?
Tick tock tick tock tick tock....................
Rasho plays in the 4th. Rephrase.
