Sign Kemp.
I mean holy , seriously how bad does T-Rex need to play on defense for Rasho to get the starting job back?
Our defense sucks with him. Every stat out there backs it up, we play a lot better with Rasho in the back. Unfortunately, our rebounding suffers, on both ends of the floor.
Remember the good ol' days when we had a center who understood the defensive scheme and could rebound? Here's to you Mr. Robinson.
But um yeah... play Rasho. I'd rather somebody scores on their second chance than burns us on the 1st chance.
Sign Kemp.
This should be the Spurs #1 priority. Sign and trade Nazr and aquire a decent big and a long, athletic SF.
^ true
spurs sucked just as badly when rasho was playing. nazr only played 15 minutes, you can't pin this loss on him. i've got a novel idea though, maybe the perimeter defenders could at least try playing some defense on their man instead of expecting the big men in the middle to bail them out on every possession.
Um, they went on their run in the first half when Pop pulled Nazr Scissorhands and put in Rasho. You really don't understand the Spurs defensive scheme, do you? The perimeters are supposed to FORCE their man towards the baseline, even if they have to overplay and let him drive, in order to keep him out of the middle.
the spurs played three terrible periods. i suppose that was all nazr's fault too? scoring 11 in the 4th - nazr's poor defense right?
i understand it, but the perimeters players haven't been doing that. they've been getting beat, letting the offensive players go wherever they want.
Consider the fact that all our bigs played like crap and all that defense Rasho played for 20 minutes went down the drain.................BOO HOO
Anyone want to call Robinson and ask him how that back is feeling?
Howard schooled everyone tonight, no shame in getting owned by the best.
nazr is good, just had a bad night. i mean, dont we all???
no being in the way and turning the ball over, and bricking 2 free throws was his fault.scoring 11 in the 4th - nazr's poor defense right
Wake the up, Mohammed has sucked Donkey Nuts EVER SINCE the big game against Phoenix.
Nesterovic was part of the reason the Spurs had a lead in the first quarter.
his excellent D on Howard in the first along with his interior D helped the offense.
Mohammed should be benched for a game, just to wake his spoiled ass up.
I'm not gonna miss the Nazr Mohammad era.
Pop is just keeping Nazr's re-signing price down by forcing him to play bad.
Nazr and Rasho both suck.
Bring on Mahinmi. He can't be any worse than these two stiffs.

I would love any kind of sign and trade this team gets for him in the offseason.
Package him, Barry up and see what you get.
How many remember this?

Not even a month ago!!
There are times when I think the Spurs would be better playing with 4 guys than playing with either Rasho or Nazr.
The Spurs porous defense of late is cause for significant concern. Sac shot a high percentage, Dallas shot a high percentage, and Orlando shot a high percentage. None of those bode well for the idea that the Spurs will just be able to shut teams down come playoff time. The one possible salvation is that the Spurs have been playing very vanilla defense, trying to save something for the real season, but I don't see that. They've been really, really bad at denying ball penetration (Rasho and Nazr, really) and really, really bad about making crisp switches to contest shots. Better figure that out pretty quick or there are going to be monsterous problems a week or so from now.
None of those games have they had a complete team.
No Horry, No Ginobili, No Parker.
Thats what I take solace in.
If you say so. With or without those guys, the Spurs haven't stopped any team that's worth a damn in more than a week. Take solace in whatever you want, if the Spurs playoff defense looks anything like the end of the regular season defense, the playoff run is going to be really short.
They dont' get to play Seattle in the playoffs.
And I'm not buying that they can just flip the switch, as it were.
I take solace in the fact Shawn Kemp hasn't signed with anyone yet.
That what you speak of, the last opponent they played good D against that was worth a damn was with the complete team if I remember right.With or without those guys, the Spurs haven't stopped any team that's worth a damn in more than a week
Slow down...........
I would post in this thread but FWD has taken all my words.
Both Rasho and Nazr have been sucking mightily. I can't believe anyone is trying to argue one is better than the other.
And the Spurs defense has been horrible, even in the last two games with Tim showing more mobility. I can't remember a 4-5 game stretch in the last 7 years where the paint has been so open.
This does not have the right vibe going into the playoffs at all.
picked up crack again most likely.I take solace in the fact Shawn Kemp hasn't signed with anyone yet.
That should keep the weight off then.
