i like what nazrs doin right now.. and what he has been doing from the start.
the trade... sad as it may seem. was worth it.
I like Nazr more than I do Rasho. He is almost like Rodman, he gets them rebounds, offensive and defensive. Nazr can score, but he could use some work underneath the basket with all them fakes. He'll be valuable on D when he goes up against Shaq. Nazr can shoot 3's too.
Your my boy Nazie

wanna bet on Nazr's 3pt?
here's his answer when asked about it:
Finding the range: No one was more surprised by Nazr Mohammed's 3-pointer in the final seconds of Tuesday's victory than Mohammed himself.
The Spurs were running down the clock when Mohammed received the ball above the key. Rather than let the shot clock expire, he hoisted the 25-foot jumper, which bounced high off the rim before rattling in.
Mohammed turned to the Spurs' bench and shrugged.
"It was my first," Mohammed said. "And probably my last."
In his seven seasons in the NBA, Mohammed had attempted only three 3-pointers, missing all of them.
..i hope you're JUST JOKING, Nazr!
Dudettes, you need to stop getting your panties in a bunch.
Just give props to Nazr and move on.
Enough with this, "but he pump fakes too much" or "he cost us homecourt" crap.
Get real.
Spurs lost homecourt because Duncan missed 16 games and Nash missed only 6.
To blame it on Nazr is absolutely the most re ed thing I've heard.
We didn't win homecourt because of injuries to our starting 5 (except Bowen).
Accept it and get over it please.
Just give Nazr his props. If you don't think he deserves it, then why don't you make a "NAZR UNAPPRECIATION THREAD" or something lame like that.
Rose is great, but fact is this: he just didn't have the size.
Nazr may not be the size of Rasho, but he's a much better rebounder, much better defender, and much better finishing around the basket.
I think 99% of the fans would agree that they have seen more improvements in Nazr's time here than they have seen in Rasho's several years here.
If you disagree, I think you're in denial and need to seek psychiatric help.
WELCOME NAZR!
I gave Nazr his props and I do like his performance lately, but "much better defender" is simply not true. He still has problems playing D. He may become a better defender, but he's not yet there.
You don't get it, do you? EVERYONE is glad that Nazr is playing well and appreciates what he is bringing to the team. This wasn't ever about whether he has improved since the trade or not. Some people are upset that dumbasses like T Park and AHF keep using the "props to Nazr" threads as a guise to work in backhanded bashes on Malik. If you want everybody to just give Nazr his props and support the Spurs and get along, then tell those two to stop ing about Malik already. Nobody said anything about that until they brought it up. And, by the way, T Park and AHF, don't trip about me calling you dumbasses. You both know that you are and you like to keep stirred up. STFU. I'm done on this topic.
untrue, for now at least.much better defender
He's a better defender than Rasho. That is obvious to most fans.
How is it backhanded? I hadn't even mentioned Malik in relation to Nazr in the last 3 weeks or so until I had to respond to Spurs Fan's whining in the AJ thread.
SO this is how it is now? When we prop a guy for his play, we're backhanding Malik?
Well , I guess whenever someone praises Tony Parker they're pissing on Avery's grave too huh?
Malik is gone and forgetten, unless I feel like needling someone on the board about it. And that's just the way it goes around here on all sides, you should know that by now.
All the Malik lovers were pointing and laughing when Nazr was trying to adjust to the Spurs and rambling on and on about how much better it would have been still having Malik around.
So Malik's not getting brought up any more by the Nazr lovers than he was by the haters.
I guess some folks like you need to about it, because your homeboy Rose's stats are looking fairly pedestrian given what Nazr is doing for us in the playoffs so far.
So be it.
I disagree. Most knowledgeable fans disagree with this and there's a couple of threads where Rasho's contribution to the team is being discussed (if you haven't yet, check them - and by all mean contribute to the discussion there). If you care to check back to the threads that popped up after Rasho's injury you'll also see the shortcomings of Nazr discussed in great details. He has made progress - nobody is denying this - but he's not there yet.
And finally why does an appreciation thread have to become a Nazr vs. Rasho discussion? I do not know who you're thinking of when you say "most", but from what I've read in this forum I'd say than most fans are quite happy to have both players on the team.
It's not hard to see why Spurs fans are praising a rather run of the mill NBA bigman when they've had to suffer through 2 seasons of Radosoft starting in the middle.
So, who do you hate more Sparky, Rasho or Nazr?
Hey SPARKY!!!! Nice to hear from you again!
Is it your nurse day off again? Forgoten to take your medicine again? Don't worry will just do what we did last time. We'll talk a little and then I'll agree with you on everything - that should calm you down enough for you to go back to your erotic dreams.
And don't worry I won't question your comitment as a Spurs fan - I know how this upsets you. So here: SPARKY is the Spurs greatest fan. He's such a great fan that he can actually look forward to a compe ive team to beat us.
Now go to sleep little boy I'm sure that AJ will visit you in your dreams today.
Yeah, of course we can praise him when we were treated to a run of the mill big man named Malik Rose getting dunked on, shot over, and rebounded over.
Duh.
Making sure a team is one and done on offense is good defense. Nazr is a beast on the boards.
I love Malik, but the constant jump shooting and turnovers drove me nutz.
BTW, Nazr is not quite at Rasho's level on help defense, but I think he will be by the start of next season (and he's making leaps and bounds in the playoffs so far).
At least Malik can hit a ing jumper occasionally, as well as be useful in shutting down an opponent's transition game, in addition to not being afraid to mix it up in the paint.
exactly what the spurs needed, a big man who could hit an occassional jump shot.
Hmm, who would I rather have taking a jumper than RoseAt least Malik can hit a ing jumper occasionally,
Tony
Manu
Duncan
Barry
Beno
Horry
Bowen
We don't need our center to take jump shots away from the guards (if you want that go be a Mavs fan), we need him to rebound and block shots.
Nazr gets his points without taking away touches from the guys who should be shooting. Contrast that with Malik "Black Hole" Rose.
Yeah, Denver and Seattle sure have been killing us in transition. Good call there Sparky.as well as be useful in shutting down an opponent's transition game,

Holy , Nazr is afraid to mix it up in the paint? Now you're really grasping for straws Marcus!

...as opposed to one who can't hit one at all, save for a lucky bounce at the end of a blowout.
Yeah, it's never useful to have a big who can knock down a J. Yeah.
Nazr gets his points without the ability to shoot. Great.Nazr gets his points without taking away touches from the guys who should be shooting. Contrast that with Malik "Black Hole" Rose.
...in spite of Nazr & Radosoft.Yeah, Denver and Seattle sure have been killing us in transition. Good call there Sparky.
Yup! Spurs need a big man to clean up the boards, clog the middle, and get garbage points. Not to say Malik sucked, but his skills would fit in better somewhere else, say like Philadelphia.
Yeah, Malik never hit the boards, got second chance points, nor played strong in the paint in the postseason.
hey Sparky: are you a Knicks fan or a Mavs fan? I can't figure it out.
Your certainly aren't a Spurs fan....
Malik, AJ and Antonio Daniels are gone. Oh, yeah, and the Admiral retired, too.
Just FYI...
