His athleticism really is the difference on the boards. We are witnessing something that has been missing since Mr. Duncra has been out.
Once he gets more comfortable with the guys/system.....lookout Rasho!
Dude,
This guy has been killing it since Rasho has been out. The Spurs are undefeated, they are pushing teams around. They are physical and they are just kicking ass.
I told you mofos that the Spurs needed to get rid of Rasho and I feel bad for him but ever since last years playoffs and since David left, there has been a big gaping hole in the middle with Rasho there.
Nazr has done more in 3 games than Rasho has done in 70+.
Finally, some toughness in the middle.

The other thing people are missing is when Nazr gets pissed, he gets really physical. That's something you can't even say about Tim, unfortunately.
The playoffs are going to be rough, and Nazr will have Tim's back. Don't think I can say the same about Rasho (as much as I love his D).
Exactly. Glen Robinson, Nazr, Bowen, Manu "cough", Massenburg, form a toughness to be recognized.
I am liking it.
Nazr still has to prove he can play in the paint with Tim and not defer the right touches...
Big dog little dog syndrome...
Rasho never got over it...
Hopefully Nazr can...
you must have missed the chicago game one of the last games they got to play together.Nazr still has to prove he can play in the paint with Tim and not defer the right touches
They played fantastic together.
Nazr proved he could play with Tim the few times he actually got some run immediately after being traded to SA, but unfortunately most of the time he was getting stuck out on the court as the only big man or with Massenberg or Horry (and that's what people remember).
Actually, when Tim gets mad, he monster dunks on you...
Bull Balla.
Tim's worst performances the last 3 years have all come when teams get physical with him. He starts shooting jumpers and looking for the refs to bail him out.
It's why Seattle beat us twice this year. Why Portland has given us fits the last two years. And part of why LA handed us our ass last year.
Nazr has been a monster... but is he better than rasho defensively? i doubt it.
Horry and Nazr are better defensively. Do you even watch the games?
Only when he's not bowling.
ah come on...
the guy changes a lot of shots... he makes it harder for the opposition to score on us.
im willing to bet if rasho was there baron davis wouldn't go for 38 points on us.
and that livingston fella wouldn't get all those layups.
Are we talking about Rasho? I am lost.
I hope all of the aggression that Nazi brings rubs off on tim. When tim gets mad he plays very well, he gets in the zone. When he starts looking for those bail outs from the ref we get in trouble. Hopefully tim has been inspired from watching all of this from the sideline. He needs to come back with a "sherrifs back in town at ude" if he does everyone will play even more inspired than they are now.
duh?
do you even play? do you know how much a lengthy guy who plays great position defense can bother you?
He was there in Dallas..... just making a point. I think anyone can play good D with Tim. I think that is one thing that rasho is great at, playing defense with Tim. However Nazrs athleticism makes him a better defender when he is on the court by himself. He almost has a D rob style.. Don't misunderstand what I say to mean that Rasho has not been a great defender because he is very good, Nazr just has that defensive play making ability, so does horry.
I would also like to add that Rasho does a great job of wearing his man down throughout the game, he plays consistent D all of the time
Compare the Clippers' FG% the last two games against the Spurs.
"G-G-G-G-Groin injury!"
Sorry---movie quote. I couldn't resist.
Rasho is light years ahead of Nazr on the defensive end. Nazr might block some more shots, but he still doesn't know how to rotate in the Spurs' system. Nazr also has a lot of point guards laying it up right over him, which isn't something you see too often with Rasho.
Rasho will still start, but it's great to see Nazr play better. Every since I saw him rough up Dirk, I've been a fan.
Now if he wouldn't get blocked so often and pump fake too, he'd be a lot better. But hey, I can live with that seeing that he replaced a guy who did the same things.
Nazr has made the playoff roster.
Believe.
I must say, I never thought Nazr would do this in the time he's been given. He's been a monster on the offensive glass, and not too shabby on D. Rasho still plays much better D, but that might be negated simply due to the fact that Nazr will get your more points because of his offensive rebounding.
I'm praying for the man to start playing great defense. If he can do that, we'll have the best front court in the leauge.
I'm going to believe in Nazr, but I'm really hoping he doesn't make me regret that.

didnt he have 30something against seattle in the second game. dont forget against LA, we lacked clutch outside shooters, regardless TD still performed at a high level. your brent barry better come thru this time around.
"dont forget against LA, we lacked clutch outside shooters"
Absolute total BS, a myth.
Having shot 44% FG all season, in LA games 3 - 6, the ENTIRE Spurs team shot 34%, 41%, 43%, 30%.
Season 3G% was 36%. In the LA game 3 - 6, 40%, 47%, 40%, 13%
So far all the ing about outside shooting, in the Lakers series collapse, the Spurs shot 3G% MUCH BETTER than their season avg (except for game6) while their 2G% (including the paint) was a lot worse.
I told you all about Nazr not to bash Rasho but a guy does not go from being about a 12 and 8 guy to nothing just by sitting on the Spurs bench!
