Who do you think helps the team more heading into the playoffs, Nazr or Marks?

Marks looks more confident on the court and he hustles more than naz. he can inspire the rest of the team with his play like malik used to do. naz is just disappointing. he tend to get down on himself too much. plus i perfet to see marks miss a wide open baseline shot than to watch naz get blocked everytime.

I don't think that's nessecary Whottt. It's pretty frickin' obvious who the better player is at the moment.

St.Croix Boy just said every thing that really needs to be said...

I agree Manny...but I think Nazr will be on the playoff roster no matter how badly he plays...The Spurs will look like fools if they put him on the IR, after trading Malik Rose, paying his trade kicker, and sending two #1 picks to NY, all for Nazr...

I hope we have seen the last of any Spurfans wanting to see a big midseason trade...this is what happens when we do them.

Fortunately I don't think this one cost us a le like the Strickland trade might have...

So you think Nazr and Mass make it on, and Marks is left out?

[whottt]

No...I think it will be Devin that gets left out...

[Kori Ellis]

It will be interesting. I wouldn't think they'd carry all those bigs and leave Devin, Johnson and Wilks off. Devin might be left off, but they might keep Wilks -- and then have to pick which big to leave off.

[MannyIsGod]

I don't think there's any chance in Brown gets left off of the roster, even if he is not ready to go before the 1st round.

I too, suspect that Nazr and Massenburg are the front runners for the last 2 spots. Nazr has done everything possible to try and give the spot to Marks, but I still think Pop will be very leary of giving it to Marks.

And that's a damn shame. Hopefully Pop can prove me wrong.

Nazr keeps getting time early in games, but he s things up so badly and stagnates the offense so badly that he doesn't see the floor again untill garbage time.

When Nazr came into the game in the 4th quarter the Spurs had 86 points. I thought to myself (cause I was alone) I hope that's enough points to win cause we ain't scorin' much more.

I hope management doesn't put Nazr on the playoff roster just to save face. If he turns things around in the next couple weeks then fine but right now it's not even close between him, Marks, and Mass.

I predict if Nazr DOES get left off the roster it will be because of a new "injury". I think we need a poll on which part of his body will be "injured".

Rose should stay in SA and now when they bring Robinson would be great, but Nazr had onl 2-3 good games , and now.... i dont know if trading nazr for Rose was so good... Spurs got a size but, we will se how will be in playoffs.

[slayermin]

If Devin is good to go, then leave off Marks. If Devin is still hurt or slightly injured, keep both bigs and leave off Wilks and Brown.

Marks>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>Nazr

I don't have time to read through 8 pages so someone may have said this but, when the Spurs lose in the playoffs it is generally because the offense goes into a prolonged dumper. So I would keep the player more likely to make a play on offense. Based on what I have seen, that would be Marks.

Far be it for me to pimp for Nazr, but I'd rather he be on the playoff roster than Marks.

Call it upside, or whatever, but Nazr has more of it. Yes, I don't like the cute spin off the glass shots he seems to be fond of, but Marks is no better. Sure, he (Marks) can dunk when no one contests him, but I'm amazed at how easily he is snuffed when he gets the ball within an inch or two of the rim in traffic.

I guarantee we won't be having this same discussion a year from now.

Marks can shoot just as well as any one on the team from outside, but has yet to get his shot down...if he does, he will be much more valuable than Nazr who has done nothing to deserve a spot on the roster.

Since this thread was referred to in another post, at the risk of beating a dead horse I thought it would be interesting to read through given what has happened in the playoffs thus far.

Bingo!
