You act as though a big not named Duncan or Robinson has ever stepped up for the Spurs in a playoff game before.
Get a clue.
You act as though the only big not named Tim or Dave to ever step up in a playoff game was Rose.
I remember the post-mortem on the trade deadline well. You and LJ went on and on about how Malik "did it when it counted, in the playoffs."
So give Nazr his props and STFU.
Nazr Mohammed scores 19 points while making teams pay for cheating from the weakside in the playoffs. BFD.
As long as he doesn't have to play outside of 2 feet from the rim he's fine.
If you want your center jacking up ill-advised jumpers, go root for the Mavs.As long as he doesn't have to play outside of 2 feet from the rim he's fine.
I'd like a big playing alongside TD who could occasionally hit one. Unless, of course, you never want to put one of the league's top 2 post players on the low block. I know, I know, let's run the offense through your boy Rado .
It's not surprising that you are excited to finally see a Spur big other than TD actually show up in this series.
get a clue.
What is wrong with those statements? If you can't handle the truth, leave.
Seriously, in the Spurs offense in its current manifestation, there is zero room for a jump shooting center.
All the Spurs want, and need, from their center, is someone to play D, rebound, and score without having plays run for them.
Of course, it says a lot that you've got such a hard on for a career 6 points, 4 boards undersized PF that you like the idea of him taking shots away from Tim, Manu, Tony, etc.
Like I said, if that's what floats your boat, head on up I-35 and go hang out with Cuban.
Actually, in the Spurs' offense, there is plenty of room for a big who can step out and hit the J when TD is in the post, as well as off of screen rolls with one of the guards. Rose brought that as well as an ability to crash the boards from the weakside and play strong in the paint.
Your reference to the Mavs is irrelevant.
Yeah, Malik averaged, what, one a game. That sure made teams gameplan differently. Good call.
My reference to the Mavs is spot on when you're clinging on to Rose's one jump shot he hit every other game as a reason why he is somehow, in some warped, ed up universe, anywhere near the post player as Nazr.
Yeah, but Spark, Rose was not that great of a Jump shooter. Yeah he could it some, but I wouldnt trust him shooting. I never liked it when he took jumpers.
lost cause.
Rose looks like Steve Kerr compared to Mohammed. Rose also was one of the Spurs' best FT shooters. Something of import for a big.
Add in the fact that the Spurs gave up 2 first rounders and the deal sucked.
my last attempt:
1. Rose chocked consistenly from the line in the clutch.
2. Shaq neither shoots jumpshot or FT, but is still the best.
3. Most great Bigs suck from the line.
4. Rose is barely an NBA player.
Last word is yours.
Nazr has one good game stunting from the weakside, something that Rose brought in just about every ing playoff game and suddenly that makes him more worthwhile? Ha.
Rose fit in much better on this team than Mohammed. And yes, the fact that Rose can hit Js and FTs does matter more than Mohammed's limited offensive game. If Seattle wasn't so desperate that they had to aggressively use their weakside bigs to cut off the paint then Mohammed would've dropped his usual 4 points or whatever.
When?
Shaq actually has a post game.
2. Shaq neither shoots jumpshot or FT, but is still the best.
Mohammed is not a "great big". He's a role player and his skills are limited in regards to what you want from a big playing alongside TD.
3. Most great Bigs suck from the line.
With a statement like that, I'm not going to waste anymore time on you.
4. Rose is barely an NBA player.
Last word is yours.
Frankly, I've been pretty happy with all the offensive boards Nazr rakes in every game.
Tonight he stepped up when he was called upon. Other, more Slovenian big men, would have fumbled away the chance.
Rose would have stepped up as well. Nazr acquitted himself well, as he has done multiple times in the postseason.
Finally someone pointed out Nazr's non-Slovenian heritage. You got me there.
Rose: better offensive skills, better leader of men
Mohammed: better rebounder, taller
The height and rebounding have come in handy. The leadership right now is spotty. If anyone provides it, it's Manu.
Seems like a wash to me. It could get better if the Spurs can get a small forward for Rasho, who clearly is expendable now.
Throw in the consistent energy off the bench, the better shot, the greater flexibility defensively, and the familiarity and Rose has the edge.
Then consider that you took 2 first round picks away from one of the best scouting front offices in the league and that trade looks considerably less appealing. Unless you are Holt Cat et al...
How anyone can claim Nazr being on this team is a bad thing and instead, fronting out center spot with a 6'5 pump faking machine who would most likely be were he was last year at this time, behind Horry and Massenburg (Willis) in the rotation.
Nazr brings something Malik lacked.
Rebounding, put back points, and height.
Those put back points and rebounding >>> Jump shooting that takes away shots from Manu and Tim.
I bet Sparky would go ape had we traded Malik for Jeff Foster.
Because motha can't shoot from 15 feet out.
Jesus... last time I checked, most, , all centers in middle school/high school/college/ and pro were supposed to cover the paint and get the boards.
But I guess Sparky hasn't finished the 5th grade just yet,
Yeah, Malik never rebounded the rock well, nor scored off the offensive glass.
As for height, that's something even a kindergartener can point to, though the value of that is somewhat overstated in the NBA. In order to make it easy for you to understand I offer Rasho Nesterovic as an example of how useless height truly is in the NBA.
Well let's never let another Spur have any shots.
Those put back points and rebounding >>> Jump shooting that takes away shots from Manu and Tim.
Oh, I've cleared a few more levels than that. But whatever makes you feel better.But I guess Sparky hasn't finished the 5th grade just yet,
