Nesterovic isn't that bad.

[Marcus Bryant]

**** LA, bbum. Once this summer is over Malone's stunt is going to look foolish.

[SequSpur]

LMAO.. after reading the Nesterovic homer thread, I feel like throwing up...

Years, seasons, shutdown modes all for this summer and we come up with ing Nestorovic..???????????

Someone should be pay for this with a Spear right in their azz.

You have to be ing kidding me. All of the trades turned down to hopefully guarantee success years ago, just to wait for the Holting Pattern and we get ing Nesterovic????

I am not impressed. But, honestly I never have been.

Duncan and Robinson were drafted 1st.. How can you **** that up? Thank God a Dumb Azz could have drafted them #1 or we would screw that up too.

Nesterovic SUCKS!

[Marcus Bryant]

Relax Sequ. See the forest not just the tall European white pine.

[T Park Num 9]

Does he suck like

Manure, Stephen jackson and Malik Rose??

If so, this guy will be good!!! 2

[Ghost Writer]

We're not done yet, Sequ.


Since Nesterovic is from Slovenia, can Popovich speak to him in his native tongue? Seriously. I remember reading that Popovich was fluent in Russian.

[SpursWoman]

Pretty soon Pop will be looking like Nelson in that AMEX commerical. French, Spanish, Italian, Chinese.....now Russian.......Pop can curse at Rasho from the sidelines and no one will know WTF he's talking about.


coo'

[Ghost Writer]

It should be noted that Flip Saunders never played Nesterovic for more than 30 MPG for a season.

I suspect his numbers will increase given 5-10 more minutes per game this season.

[Marcus Bryant]

It depends, Ghost.

[baseline bum]

I'm with you if we can't land Odom or Brand, Sequ. Rasho is a scrub.

[Ghost Writer]

Depends on what? How he does in practice or if he stays out of foul trouble?

Popovich and Nesterovic have some sort of Euro-flavored mutal admiration going on.

I don't think Rasho is in here to be coddled like Saunders did to the young big man.

He's our center, dammit.

I say play him for 35-40 and see what happens.

[timvp]

Don't forget the fact that Malik can form a very good one two punch with Rasho.

1) They are polar opposite type players.

2) Rasho can play around 30 MPG, which gives Malik about 28 minutes at C and PF.

3) Malik and the rest of the crew will cheer on Rasho instead of trying to bite his head off. (See: Garnett, Kevin)

[Marcus Bryant]

True, timvp. Depending on who the Spurs' opponent is the Spurs can either go with the finesse game or with the muscle.

Are you starting to sip that wine, timvp?

[SequSpur]

We need to start the DizzG Espy Awards... Damn, you all are starting to turn Nesterovic into a future allstar and hall of famer.

We go from David Robinson, who could at any mo foing time put up 20 and 15 to N E SSSSTTTTTerovic????????

And you all are totally brainwashed and convinced that this is okay...

Holy !

Are you all kidding me?

What are we trying to give Bateer some confidence during practice or what?

OMG. What has Pop done to you all....

Get a Doctor quick!!!!!!!!!

[Marcus Bryant]

Eat your froot loops, Sequ. Rasho is a role player. He's not the Spurs' primary acquisition.

[SequSpur]

Okay.. I would hope not.

[timvp]

I'm trying to learn to like Rasho.


:queen :queen

[T Park Num 9]

Robinson averaged 20 and 15 last year??

God the propecia has leaked into your brain and made you stupid.....

[baseline bum]

He's not the Spurs' primary acquisition.

I think he will be. Sterling will match for Brand and the Spurs won't make Odom an offer.

[SequSpur]

Damn tpark... Did the short bus drop you off early today? .. I said David could drop 20 and 15 at any time, playoffs, season, whatever... (Not average it, cracka!)

Can you see The NesteroStiff do that?

:pc2

[T Park Num 9]

Yup.

at anytime yeah.


But you also said Manu Ginobili sucked Jackson should be a bus boy and Malik Rose should go back to playing Tuba.

Your player assesments are legendary in that they are pathetic.

So your assesment of Rasho is along the lines of others,

pathetic.....

[Admiral]

Nesterovic can be a solid starter. I don't think he's the tough, hard-nosed defense/rebounding big man that Duncan needs and deserves, but hopefully he can really develop under Pop.

I'm hoping for 10 and 10, plus maybe a block a game. He has potential, and we're not paying him much at all. It's not like we have sacrificed $10 million per year for Rasho (or any other mediocre big man). If we had, the complaining here would be very justified.

At this point, signing Nesterovic still does little to salvage the Fantasy Summer of 2003 plan, but at least he's something. This move is a small risk that we can live with regardless. It's a good risk to take.

[SequSpur]

So your assesment of Rasho is along the lines of others,

Well, damn, that should be a good thing! We just won the championship with beer sellers, manure and silver dancers..

Nesterovic better be a "Rapid Reward"! But I doubt it this time, but hey I could be wrong.

[TheCat5]

Want the capability of dominant games? OK.

Dallas - 11 points, 6 rebounds, 9 blocks
Lakers - 19 points (9-10 shooting), 7 rebounds, 3 blocks
Kings - 14 points, 15 rebounds
Suns - 22 points (11-17 FG), 9 reb
Pistons- 12 points, 13 reb
Rockets - 19 points, 6 reb
Sonics - 18 points (9-13 FG), 10 reb
Sixers - 19 points (9-14 FG), 7 reb, 5 blocks
Celtics - 22 points (10-17 FG), 13 reb, 2 blocks

This is just a quick analysis I did of looking at some of Rasho's games against teams with winning records. It certainly looks to me like he's capable of elevating his game...

[Ghost Writer]

I would not use the word 'risk' at all with Nesterovic based on his bargain-basement contract.

I bet he averaged 35 MPG, 12 PPG, 8 RPG, 1.5 BPG.

[baseline bum]

If you're hoping for 10 boards you're going to be very disappointed, GW Jr.

With Radosoft as out starting 5 the Spurs have to do something to address the team's weakness in rebounding (outside of Duncan).

Odom averaged 6.7 boards last year (more than Rasho btw), and 6.1, 7.8, and 7.8 the previous 3 years.
