Nazr can't sneeze without someone riding him, whereas Rasho can be a big fat nothing and everyone seems to think he's the greatest thing since Spam in a can.
Again.... Pop and his fukkin clones need to stfu and grow some balls. Ron clearly through down the words "We're the team to beat" "The regular season is over" "We're number one now"
I like it. I want to kick their asses by 40, 50, 51.... I don't give a . Blow their asses right out of the building and back to their backwards ass town of Sacramento.
You mean to tell me that Nazr's three was worse than Barrys? or Beno's or Finley's or Manu's??
Pop is a dip if he finds any fault in a Game 1 asskicking.
The statement was the blowout and the closure was Nazr droppin another bomb on their ass.
I don't get you all. Go watch a Clipper game.

I'm just amazed that three points among the 122 points the Spurs scored is causing so much controversy. Nazr clearly didn't think it was going to go in, yeah he shot it early in the shot clock but someone had to shoot it eventually.
Why? Because he's Pop? Because he's the head coach?
What if some other head coach was fine with the shot, would that mean pops opinion is invalid?
For the record, Nazr was what got us over the hump to win the le last year. No way would we have beaten Detroit without him... and no way we could win a le witout him this season either.
Exactly, but most of all the Kings, Artest and the Maloof brothers.
I hope the Spurs destroy that team. Better yet, I hope they destroy every team on the way to 16 wins.
If you're worried about like this, you have no business watching sports.
Go basket weave or something.
I could understand people getting mad if he took that shot with 10 seconds left and zero on the shot clock.
But there was time on the shot clock and instead of racking up a turnover he shot it, big deal.
Frankly, the Kings could sit around for the next two days stewing over Mohammed's shot and they'd still be smoked on Tuesday. Sacto doesn't have the D to hang with SA in a playoff series. One player does not make a team defense.
When Garcia knocked the out of Finley and didn't help him up, was that bad? Wasn't that worse than Nazr taking a shot?
I guess once they got up by almost 40, they should've played Oberto.
On to Game 2. I hope we win by 50
Unless the Kings can reschedule a couple of back to backs in this series, it's over, so there's no need to sweat Nazr's technique.
WOW, I did not think this thread would get so big.
My 2 cents, It's the playoff is it not kill or be killed? Pop needs to stop trying to be a Nice classy wine drinker, that may work for the regular season BUT in the playoff you need to be a beer drinking kick you when your down and out type of coach. It's called killer instinct, If you really want to be champs you have to be cut throat.
I think the throats were already cut .. the Spurs were up by 30.
In a game in the past I remember, the Spurs had a big lead and Pop just had them get the 24 second violation on purpose and take the turnover. I'm not sure if that's what was supposed to happen tonight when Nazr shot the 3, but I just know Pop wasn't pleased at the shot.
Once again...I loved it! GO Nazr GO!
Yea but was it a playoff game? If he did that he would have be railed by everyone in the playoffs
Did you get your dog run over in Sacramento or something?
Yeah, calling Nazr stupid is an exteremely bad and tasteless excuse for taking that three. If your making refrences to players about the shot and how they claimed it was clasess, that's BS. I can't believe people are still arguing over this. OMG. If you Pop doesn't wanna make his oppnonent feel bad, then throw the game and let them win. The Kings shouldn't be mad that Nazr made a three in the closing seconds of the shot clock, they should be mad that they got man handled the whole game.
Honestly, I can see both sides of the argument. I'm not upset about it as some people are, but I'm not thrilled about it either.
One thing for sure though is that I don't buy the argument that the Kings deserved it because Artest did this and Garcia did that, and he said x and she said y.
None of those things are a valid excuse for classless play or classless comments from the Spurs. Or their fans.
Ever.
We're not them. We're us. There's more to appreciating the Spurs than the final numbers on the scoreboard.
When you have a demoralized opponent, the last thing you want to do is to give them a reason to get up off that floor. You don't want to give them motivation. And while it stands that a team shouldn't need extra motivation, that doesn't mean you should go out and give them some.
Think back to the Finals last year when Detroit used the river parade as chalk board fodder for game six. Smart coaches know how to use things like that shot
In the end it may that shot will probably mean nothing. But why chance it? Why possibly give the team that motivation that can make them a bit tougher? Its just a bonehead move. It is obvious that his teamates and coach understand why. Sometimes I just wish Nazr would think a little more.
Seriously that shot should be the least of Sacramento's worries. If someone asked you how would you like to turn the ball over, how far down the list would it be to just have one of our bigmen chunk up a three? Time was left on the clock, it was a lucky shot, and nothing more. People need to get off of Nazr's back about it, that includes Pop.
Kings to work on list before game 2
Guard Nazr at the 3
Block out Beno (Brad Miller,27 minutes, 1 rebounds to Beno's 2 rebounds in less mins)
Shut Ron up before the games
For the love of God, Guard Nazr at the 3
Sounds good

Obviously Nazr isn't going to make 3s and that 3 wasn't the reason they lost. But what many of you fail to realize is how quickly perception can become reality. If they decide to believe that shot was a sign of disrespect and come out with more fire, then all of a sudden this could be a different team.
Its about not taking things for granted and not giving them any reason to want to beat you any more. Just slide in under the radar, break them, and leave the same way.
In the end, like I said, this will probably turn out to be a non factor. But that doesn't mean you should give them an opportunity to use something like this to their advantadge.
Stop laughing.
Ron Artest is the REAl DPOY
Ron Ron was such great defender that he shut himself down last night
The best argument I've seen for Nazr's shooting with 14 left on the shot clock is that Artest was talking and hitting people and we should lower ourselves to their level because, well that wasn't really expounded upon.
It's likely not that big a deal as far as this series is concerned, but that's not the way the Spurs do things. Period. I guess you can vote out Pop in the next coach election if you don't like it. Good luck.
the Kings. Artest. his stupid predictions. the crybaby pantywaists who think there's a difference between a 30 point win and a 33 point win.
Nazr for THREE!
Case in point....
