How come Marks got more minutes than Nazr?
That is a pathetic question. He was out rebounded 4-3. In 16-12 minutes of play. All this comes from one game. How many games has Nazr out rebounded Marks when Marks is DNP CD?
How come Marks got more minutes than Nazr?
I see you have taken up your next "Battle of the Alamo Thread". Guess what side you're on?
Because Deke didn't play much.How come Marks got more minutes than Nazr?
Probably the same side where Pop admits he made the trade for financial reasons...not talent...like I was the last time. Difference is it didn't take a royal butt ing by a lottery team to get me say it.
Fortson is the type of player that has broken the Spurs. It's not just the scoring from their most potent offensive players that worries me, but the fact that their robo-rebounders Evans and Fortson seem to always get the offensive rebounds for them. Either they convert them into FTs, or give the team extra possesions to eat more clock and eventually score. Even Jerome James has made an impact underneath.
If the Spurs neutralize Seattle's boardwork and energy underneath, they can beat this team should they meet in the playoffs, even perhaps on Wednesday as well.
Oh, and FYI, those 4 rebounds are Marks' high for the season.
For all I know that could be Mark's career high...this was probably his season high in minutes as well...but he was a bigger reason for this win than Nazr was IMO. Something to think about as we head into the post season. Big game...believe me..in a million years I never thought I would lobby for Shawn Marks to get off the IR, much less be put on a playoff roster over anyone...but this game gave me a reason to do so.
We aren't talking about who is better...we are talking about who sucks less.
What you have here is a comparison of a career IR player VS a career back up lottery Center...
In this case the IR guy knows the team better and is healthier than the career back up lottery Center....
Because Marks will leapfrog Mass and Horry as well and play big minutes.
He's that good.
Of course he was a bigger reason. When you go by the numbers of a single game and judge a player, you pretty well are shooting yourself in the foot. If you want to go by numbers then....
Marks > Duncan
Sure that's absurd. But so is Marks > Nazr to a lesser degree.
I don't think Marks was extraordinarly better than Nazr statistically or anything...but Nazr looks lost and gets dumb fouls(although he didn't really do that today with the fouls)...but he is lost period, and it's gamble to think he is going to figure it out by the playoffs. And he still has a bad groin.
What does a fireman take to a burning building, a firetruck or a gasoline tanker?
I rather have a big body rebounding Nazr than a smaller weaker Marks who will get destroyed in the post. Do you actually believe that even with knowing the system, Marks is a better defensive presence?
Goodnight
of course he does.
Cause he doesn't like Nazr, how many more I HATE NAZR posts must be make.
Guess you didn't listen to the last pop show on tuesday.Probably the same side where Pop admits he made the trade for financial reasons
I hope we don't have to rely on Nazr or Marks to do big things in the postseason.
Rasho and Horry are playing really well and those two, along with a healthy Duncan, should get the bulk of the minutes in the front court in the playoffs.
Rasho was awesome today. He played outstanding D and was an offensive force in the first half (Yes, I said force.) Horry is getting in a playoff groove.
When Tim and Devin get healthy, Marks will probably go back to IR. So though he brings a lot of energy, talking about him in the postseason is probably a moot point. Nazr will get some minutes and hopefully by then be more acclimated on D.
I guess you weren't listening TPark.
Kori...who you choose and why?
she said Marks is gonna go on IR,
so id say that means shes picking Nazr.
Nazr because Marks looks like a clown.![]()
Nazr has been a huge dissapointment for me and I wasn't expecting him to be too great to begin with. His only real asset is offensive rebounding, but even when he gets the O board he pump fakes and gets blocked even more than Rose did. His hands are equally as good as Rose's were. His jumper is worse. His defense is pretty horrible and his defensive rebounding is average.
I hate how on offense he clogs up everything. He goes to the front of the rim and calls for the ball almost every time up the court. I'm not sure why he does that because he doesn't have a post game to speak of.
He'll be good if he just concentrates on rebounding and gets better defensively. He should never post up and should only shoot jumpers when there is no other option.
If he doesn't do those things, the Spurs traded Rose and two draft picks for Samaki Walker.
No, I'd say that means she thinks the Spurs are going to put Marks on the IR. Her saying she prefers Nazr means she prefers Nazr. She's not one of the people all over Nazr's jock like you are. In fact I'd be willing to bet she thinks that trade sucked even though she hasn't said so one way or the other.
Yeah I've seen everyone from Parker to Pop to Horry yelling at him on the floor to move out of the way. I'm not sure that he knows where he's supposed to go on offense, which is weird. He played well for a few games; I thought his rebounding positioning was great and liked that he wasn't afraid. But somehow he regressed a little. Hopefully he'll catch on by the playoffs. But like I said, I don't think he, or Marks, will be a big component in the postseason.I hate how on offense he clogs up everything. He goes to the front of the rim and calls for the ball almost every time up the court.
oh good lord.the Spurs traded Rose and two draft picks for Samaki Walker.
Yeah, I am being a little tough on Samaki. At least he could hit 40% from the field and had a decent jumper.
maybe he wants to help pick up the slack offensively since duncan is down???Yeah I've seen everyone from Parker to Pop to Horry yelling at him on the floor to move out of the way. I'm not sure that he knows where he's supposed to go on offense, which is weird. He played well for a few games; I thought his rebounding positioning was great and liked that he wasn't afraid.

Sorry, Im being too positive for this thread, guess I should be pissed and in the dumps about a trade you cant do nothing about and about more than Heal > Jordan.
And that's why he gets so many offensive rebounds too...he got at least one O board off his own face today.
I think his hands are worse...Malik's were good some games and bad in others...Nazr's are pretty much bad.His hands are equally as good as Rose's were. His jumper is worse. His defense is pretty horrible and his defensive rebounding is average.
Now you know why Stephon wasn't sorry to see him goI hate how on offense he clogs up everything. He goes to the front of the rim and calls for the ball almost every time up the court. I'm not sure why he does that because he doesn't have a post game to speak of.
But when? After we get eliminated from the playoffs?He'll be good if he just concentrates on rebounding and gets better defensively. He should never post up and should only shoot jumpers when there is no other option.
