Well, it's a good thing you don't have to think about it!
I just wish Rasho wouldn't suck so bad when he comes off the bench as relief.
19 points and 7 rebounds in game 5; 12 points and 8 rebounds in game 6
I think Mohammed was huge in this series with the Sonics. He forced the Sonics to respect his offense and adjust to him taking a lot of pressure off the guards and Timmy. You could see the worried looks on a lot of Seattle's bigs whenever he was on the court. His defense is very clean despite being a little agressive on perimeter defense when he needs to stick around the paint. He had critical rebounds last night in game 6 both defensively and offensively during the 4th quarter. With Nesterivich playing hurt I'd hate to think of where the Spurs would be in the series without Naz.

much props to nazr.
correct you are, underrated he is.
do as good, malik would?? hmmm??
good question, this is.
I would say that he and Tim needed to step out more on the PnRs, not less. There may be a different strategy for our next opponent though.
Nazr has obviously been working on taking the ball up immediately...without hesitation, and jamming it. This was a major improvement over his plodding tentativeness vs. Denver.
Nazr Mohammed is the David Robinson replacement we wanted in the summer of 03
I noticed that and I also noticed a mini skyhook. I like the arsenal.
better late than never, eh, T-Park?
And all it cost us was Malik
Well, he sure is offensively, but not defensively. Don't know if that comparison is fair to Nazr, though. He is playing exceptionally well and seems to have found his role.
Don't let Sparky/MB see this thread. He'll go ape .
I wouldn't mind seeing him take more perimeter shots. He is always open right wing.
I don't.
Nazr shot a jumper last game from the corner and airballed it by like three feet. I want him to stick to rebounding, defense and catching the ball and going straight up with it when the defense leaves him.
Are you sure?
Have you seen his jump shot?
Yikes!
Wait til the offseason to work on the 12-footer. For now, just keep rolling and crashing the boards.
Before game 5 they discussed that Nazr should be a little more aggressive looking for his own shots when they are there. That made a big difference. He needs to expect easy baskets and putbacks when Duncan is drawing people, and he did a much better job of that in game 5 and 6.
Yeah it might be something to work on in the offseason after they win the championship.
Dunks off P&Rs, putbacks and the occasional baby hook will probably keep him in double figures throughout the playoffs. I'm more concerned about his ability to stay in the game against Phoenix if it comes to a match with them. I can see him reaching and grabbing alot against the Suns' transition.
I wouldnt compare him to David, but he is the best Cetner we've had since David, IMO.
We would do better if Bill Schoening was going to do that.....Nazr's jumper is fugly.
He is getting better on the "D" but it is still rather poor too often....he still relies too much on athleticism to bail him out on the "D" instead of rely on position and basic fundamentals.
What surprizes me is with how good Nazr has been playin, my cousin has yet to post anything about it!!
Hey Kori, is he banned or something??
What should we do about Rasho. He's paid too much to come off the bench, but Nazr obviously deserves to start. Would anyone want to trade for him, and if so, who might we have to package him up with?
How about Jerome James?????
JK!
Nah...James aint got 'nuff respeck fo da SA
Probably about 18 teams in the league.Would anyone want to trade for him
Be patient. The Spurs don't have to and probably won't do anything about this until seeing both players healthy and after at least a training camp + a few months playing time. In the meantime, you have easily one of the better center tandems in the league at a reasonable price. Why mess with that?
Compe ion for the starting spot next year will be fierce, and should only help Rasho, who is a good player when he's healthy. As we've discussed before, he might actually thrive coming off the bench, anyway. He and Nazr could become as good a two headed center as there is in the league.
