    I think it's the same for many players, you take the Spurs and split them into two seperate teams and what do you have, you have guys like Rasho playing much better. As someone mentioned earlier he played really well when Duncan was out and he is still the same player but this offense isn't designed around him.

    I am fully confident that if for some reason Rasho was playing 35 minutes per game and getting thirteen to seventeen shots per game he would wind up with some pretty good numbers....

    I believe he had thirteen double doubles last year and three in a row, in almost all of those games he was playing major minutes and taking a lot more shots than he averages...

    Actually he had like 5 double doubles in a row...all that proves is what Rasho is capable of doing...unfortunately it doesn't prove that he wants to do it night in and night out.

    Man this team is an unselfish team, if Rasho wanted more shots, he'd get them. Everyone would like to see Rasho make the AS team...including Pop, Duncan, the city of SA, Slovenia, and Spurfans everywhere.


    Even Marcus Bryant.

    Damn right, Rasho couldn't ask for a more unselfish team with a more unselfish superstar anywhere.

    Maybe Duncan told him not to dunk?

    I think SLOVENIAN 8 is right that Rasho is trying too hard to not get in Duncan's way. But Rasho just needs to come out swinging.

    I don't buy it...you telling me that Pop and Duncan haven't begged Rasho to step up, be more agressive, demand the ball more?

    I gurantee you they have.

    I gurantee you Duncan has told him...hey man, if you want more shots, just ask.

    Rasho likes being in the NBA, without the every night pressure to deliver. He likes getting paid good money, and getting slicked up and going out and picking up chicks in bars after games. That's exactly what Rasho wants to do, he wants to do it without anyone getting in his face about it.....and that's exactly what he does do.

    He might have been able to pull off the poor Rasho schtick except...He made the mistake of showing what he could do when Duncan was injured. if he'd sucked when that happened I might buy into the poor misunderstood Rasho BS..but he didn't..he played ing good...so he's not going to slip the underachiver tag with me...he didn't even look like he was trying hard to put up those numbers...

    And every one praised him when he did it, his coach, his teamates, SA, Marcus Bryant......he knows what he needs to do to get praised, there's no ing secret here...it's just not his top priority.

    I dont think Pop has RUN enough plays for him.


    Tell me whottt, whens the last time Pop ran the Parker pick and roll for him at the free throw line.


    Whens the last time he got set up for any shots period.


    Feed him early in the game.

    If he takes the shots, he earns more time, if he passes out, you bench his cracka ass and bring in ROse.

    That simple.

    But to want the guy to change his team first mentality is stupid.


    IMO, run more plays, get him involved early on the offensive end.

    IE in march last year when Duncan was out, he got lots of plays run for him, and he flourished.

    Tonight, get him some looks against Juwan Howard, get a few baskets, and then watch how well play.


    This hoping he demands the ball and grabs it from Duncan's hands aint gonna happen.

    Just like David when DUncna came along, eh got passive and he deffered sometimes too much.
    AND Pop didnt run as many plays for him.


    IMO pop has failed Rasho as much as Rasho has failed Pop.

    Whottt I respectfully disagree.

    If he didnt care this sseason, then why early on was he doing well

    8 and 8 12 and 9 in the girst game against Brad Miller.


    A. Hes been taken out of the offense and doesnt feel involved

    B. Hes got something wrong that he aint talking about.

    Duncan stops him from being aggressive around the rim and paying attention on defense?

    Duncan doesn't stop him,
    Timmy's effort should encourage Rasho to get active and stop being a softy in games. He should be getting more boards and more blocks...for a 7 footer, his numbers should be way higher.

    I don't care about Rasho's scoring, i just wanna see him get more boards and more blocks.

    He cares sometimes, just not all the time. He floats.


    A. Hes been taken out of the offense and doesnt feel involved
    Because he's not agressive about taking his shots..


    B. Hes got something wrong that he aint talking about.
    Then he's hurting the team as well as himself and needs to speak up.

    Yeah, let me add that Tony must go too. His numbers are down the past two years and he had some bad games this year.

    Barry too.

    We must purge ourselves of every player who does not meet our expectations 1/4 into the season.

    Our inflated record (I said it before last nights loss) has everyone thinking this is a 70 win team.

    It isn't -- the full-strength teams we have played show us but good.

    Rasho needed to be benched for a lot of reasons. I would trade him for Kurt Thomas just like I still would trade Malik for Thomas.

    Chandler while much maligned in Chicago, would be the perfect big for us. He works hard, opposed to Curry and Rasho who don't seem to care. He rebounds like a crazy man he runs the floor and he can defend his position. The only concern is his back and he's as thin as a rail.

    Of course a trade like this would be difficult

    Rasho looked good so far tonight. Frankly I think he deserved more minutes than he got. He's making things happen. Kudos.

    Becouse of Spurs system of a game, and Duncan.
    And Chicago's system is the pinnacle of X's and O's. Just look at what it did for Eddy Curry.
