Or.... we could just play Nazr instead of letting him ride the pine.
Nazr or Rasho to Memphis for Lorenzen Wright (whichever they ask for).
Book it.

if he could do anything worthwhile while in the game i'm sure he would get more pt.
It happens.
Wright is a nice veteran, but I would prefer a shot blocker.
Stromile Swift is buried on the bench again, now in Houston.
Every big man save Duncan flat out sucked tonight.
I can only think Pop figured if they aren't going to rebound or rotate, might as well try small ball.
According to the box score, Nazr played 5 min..... Rasho played 17min....Fabri played 3minutes.
So who played the 5 spot most of the night?
Did Pop fall asleep, and forget to make some rotations?
Also, it looks like Rasho had some decent production for the limited minutes he played.
Dallas's run-and-gun smaller lineup dictated Pop's paterns.
I prefer when the Spurs set the tone and force the opponents to adjust.
Swift will always be a bench player -- he can't stay out of foul trouble in actual system defenses.
As for Wright, it's not so much about getting better than it is about getting something different.
A Dampier/Dirk/Van Horn frontline is small?
LOL that was my next question..
Tim played 5 a lot tonight. Horry played 4 when Rasho or Nazr weren't in there.
And Finley and Bruce played the four when Horry proved just as ineffective.
Those 3 are tall but are as soft as Charmin.
Nowitski and Van Horn are basically perimeter players and Van Exel has a better post game than Dampier.
C'mon, guys.
So we should've been able to punish them inside right?Those 3 are tall but are as soft as Charmin.
I have to watch the Clipper game to see quality basketball tonight.
Pathetic.
Exactly.
I don't understnd why the Spurs did not try to dictate the pace with strong inside play tonight against those guys.
Frustrating.
P.S.
I like that underutilized Chris Wilcox on the Clippers.
Simple, once we got in our halfcourt sets we'd throw a lazy pass right to a Mav. It would be one thing if they were really playing the lanes aggressively, but they were just standing in front of our guys. NVE was expecting his weak to pass through defenders or something.
Nick, Barry, and Beno sucked last night. All had terrible turn overs. Nick had three in a row and never came out of the game!
What's going on with Nazr? Why didn't Pop play him last night?
Speaking of Bruce Bowen, did you take a look at his box score last night. I think is was all 'zeros' except for fg attempts. I've never seen a starter with a worse box score when he played siginificant minutes.
Well, playing a 200 pounder at the 4 can do that.
Nazr is sucking. They should just never pass the ball to him in the post. He doesn't understand basic basketball: if three guys swarm you in the post, you pass back out. Either the man outside is open, or, when the extra defenders are forced to leave, you get a re-post pass. He just forces up.
Nazr does not have a post game at all.
His points are all garbage points, cleaning things up.
I thought that Pop's move to have Tony guard Dirk was intriguing.
Interesting strategy.
Those were old Nellie-era forced switches.
AJ learned well.
