And look better in the shorts too.Hmmmm! Come to think of it! I could go out there and make just as much money and be just as effective as he has been! As in, not very! (last game or 2 not withstanding)
You pop sucking Radosoft loving idiot. (sarcasm)I see it as Rasho keeping a 310+ pounder off the blocks for most of the game. That's where most of his energy was expended. If you guys can grab all the boards you say you can defending a guy who has 60+ (non-fat) pounds and 6 inches on you, you can keep up the message board bragging.
Thats too sensible talk.
But Chump another thing,
just defense is NOT enough!!!
I mean, he HAS to score more than 3 points on 3 shots dont you know that?!?!?
Chump, that wasn't the point to my arguement. T Park was saying that Yao only shot from the perimeter. You can see that was obviously wrong by looking at the shot chart I posted. My whole criticism on Rasho was that he put up poor numbers that game. T Park seems to think he had a good game. I don't see how you can say that with what production the team got from him. I watched the game, I looked at the numbers, it just wasn't there that day. He had a good/great game against Dallas and Washington.
What did he do so well in that game?(Houston)
1. Did he score a lot of points? No 3 points on 1/3 shooting 1/2 from the line.
2. Did he redbound well? No 5 boards when his average is 6.7 bpg
3. Did he play great defense? Yes Better than average against Yao.
Yao held to 5 points below his average of 18 ppg. Yao had 13 points
on 4/8 shooting 5/6 from the line.
4. Did he block a lot of shots? No 1 bs
So what else is there? Hustle is hard to prove in stats but I'll give it to you for the sake of the debate.
T Park, I think you fail to realise that not everybody who criticizes a player is a hater. I criticize Rasho when he plays poorly and give him credit when has a good game. I hope he can have some more good games in the near future.
Like I said, given his assignment for the game -- he only played when Yao did -- stats were not on the agenda. As Rasho is a role player I expect him to fulfill his role; defending Yao well straight up is pretty much an exclusive role for a guy like Rasho. Anything more would have been extraordinary for him.You can see that was obviously wrong by looking at the shot chart I posted. My whole criticism on Rasho was that he put up poor numbers that game. T Park seems to think he had a good game. I don't see how you can say that with what production the team got from him.
Rasho was just awesome against the Wizards. Trade, what?!?!! =)
The Spurs are the best team in the L. I can honestly say that...who cares about the record because no team right now will beat the Spurs in 7 games. Unless they choke or play to their opponents they could lose, but right now....no way. With that being said..Rasho is the worst starting centre in the L. He plays with Tpark, Manu, Barry and TD all unselfish players who push the ball....He's horrible, yes he's had some solid games, but please....I guarantee you put Horry in PF and let TD start at the C they would still win the same amount of games.
Yeah, put Horry on Yao.
That'll be compe ive.
When Scola comes, if he proves he can play, Scola PF, TD C.
I think that would mean Duncan would play Yao. I rather keep the line up as is for now.
I agree with you Slo. I guess a team that just gave away the best center should know something though. Naahhhhh!
So he could foul out before holding the ball too long in 4 down sets late? Maybe you're on to something there.I think that would mean Duncan would play Yao.
Rasho didn't have many fouls against Yao, so I doubt Duncan would. I was not an advocate of changing the line up though.
GOOD POST !!!
It can be very different when you're working both sides of the ball. A Duncan gassed from the offense might not be able to body up Yao like Rasho did. That's why Duncan doesn't cover Yao in the first place.Rasho didn't have many fouls against Yao, so I doubt Duncan would.
Well that may be a factor. Rasho would not be able to cover smaller quicker PFs, so it's not like it's Duncan's weakness that is necessarily dictating the defensive matchups. Duncan held Juwan Howard to some very low numbers. Then there are the sets where Rasho is out of the game and Duncan is playing center regardless. I think these cir stances are going to fluctuate a lot during the game.
It's not a question of weakness.so it's not like it's Duncan's weakness that is necessarily dictating the defensive matchups.An easier cover for him than Yao, no?Duncan held Juwan Howard to some very low numbers.This was one case where it didn't fluctuate at all -- when Yao played, Rasho was on him. Of couse it can be different in other games, but if it's at all possible, Rasho covers the main post threat.Then there are the sets where Rasho is out of the game and Duncan is playing center regardless. I think these cir stances are going to fluctuate a lot during the game.
Mihm>Rasho
Vujacic>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Kobe
It'll be nice if Mihm stays healthy all year, that's the main thing that's been holding him back.
Actually, you might just be right. Wanna trade?Mihm>Rasho
He has been healthy...it's his minutes...he's only average around 26 a game.
I tell you something, if Mihm play for Spurs he would sux so much that you couldnt even imagine!!!
I think he would do even better. The Spurs are a better passing team and don't have Kobe so they are unselfish as well.
