Mohammed Today

[ploto]

I'm serious.

I've always thought that Rasho was a huge key in the Spurs defense, and it showed today when the Pacers made their run, with Nazr and Timmy giving up lay-up after lay-up.

Thanks for clarifying. I never know for sure. So few people ever agree with me.

[T Park]

Gee.

Who am I gonna go with,

Popovich

or amuseddaysleeper whos mental ability rivals a centipede.

Gonna take pop.

Yeah ima popsucker, so what.

hey hey come now T Park no need for personal insults. I'm just here to talk ball man. I'm not saying I know more than Pop I'm just saying I don't "agree" with his subs ution patterns. but he does have 3 championships for which I'm grateful for

[leemajors]

correct me if i'm wrong here, but aren't the spurs 40-10 with rasho starting? why would anyone want to change that. we would not have a better record with nazr starting, we would have a better record if manu and tim hadn't been playing hurt or missing games. if rasho's play isn't good we can put nazr in. neither will play the last 5 mins of a game with horry on our team.

the spurs also did really well during majority of last season w/ rasho in the lineup

unfortunately the playoffs matter and not the regular season as much and nazr was starting in the playoffs and we went all the way.

if it ain't broke

dont fix it

but i see your point

and your avatar is hillarious

[leemajors]

talking about the playoffs before the regular season is done is kinda pointless. the only thing you can conclude from nazr's play last year is he is a better matchup vs phoenix and detroit.

[yeahone]

ccontinue improving Nazr

[tim_duncan_fan]

start nazr

[mavsfan1000]

Nazr might be the better player but Rasho is much more effective as a starter than a backup. Defense first.

[E20]

Pop seems to know when Nazr will be effective and when Rasho will be effective. As far as I see it Nazr and Rasho are 1 player, until one of them start to play consisently good, like Nazr last year.

[SpursIndonesia]

There needs to be a Church of Nazr.

That's just wrong, cause he already has followers in his mosque of Mohammed (They're quite fanatic too, just look at the Danish embassy around moslem countries)

That is funny coming from a person who is Indonesian.

Earning minutes aside, I'm an advocate of giving Nazr a shot at starting to see what he does. But the thought of Rasho coming off the bench is not a good prospect.

[SequSpur]

Nazr > Avery Johnson.

[timvp]

According to TimVP, Nazr should see very little playing time tomorrow.

Nazr played what ... three minutes in the first half? He would have played under ten minutes if it wasn't a blowout.

timvp is good. Damn good.

Don't make me bump that thread.

[ChumpDumper]

Third person klubying smacks of Karl Malone.

[timvp]

Don't hate.

Congratulate

[T Park]

yawn.

The helicopters are circling outside TIMVP's house I assume.

Nazr played five minutes in the first quarter and picked up 2 quick fouls. Pop started the second quarter with both Tim and Rasho back in the game and for good reason. In the fourth quarter the Spurs went small. Nazr had the 2 nice offensive rebounds on consecutive possessions but the rest of the time he was busy getting dunked on and turning the ball over.

ignore he was the only one to block lebrons shot.

[Rummpd]

The switch in lineups at the end of the 3rd and beginning of 4th lost the game period.

For the life of me against a very good rebounding team like the Cavs, who were killing the Spurs with OR, to not have either Nazr (who was hustling all around) or Duncan on the floor at all times is sublime.

Nazr WAS in the game at the end of the third quarter and early fourth quarter and was replaced by Duncan who played the rest of the game.

Also Nazr had 1 defensive rebound in 12 minutes. He wasn't keeping anyone off the offensive glass and I surely did not see all his great hustle plays you seem to have noticed. All I noticed once again was an opponent who scored at will inside when Nazr came in for Rasho.

One block does not make up for all the awful defense. I would rather a guy challenge a hundred shots and block none then get one block while not challenging the rest.

[ChumpDumper]

Really, if Nazr played with any consistency defensively, I'd be more inclined to buy into the conspiracy.
