lets see playoffs first
Nazr turned out to be a big scrub. I really liked him in the 05 playoffs, but after that, he was a complete waste.
His 05 playoff success is blown out of proportion. He averaged like 7 and 5.
From a strictly financial viewpoint, Fab-Fran makes better sense.
Skill wise, Rasho/Nazi were better interior defenders, but Fab-Fran are better passers (Fab) and more athletic (Fran).
Pretty much a wash on the court at this stage in the season. I don't see either of them winning games or costing us games so far.

Did someone just try to pimp Nazr's defense?
I hope Elson/Oberto can end up averaging more than that.Elson/Oberto: 11.1 ppg

Elson/Oberto:10.3 rpg
Rasho/Nazr: 9.3 rpg
Nazr/Rasho averaged 11 and 9 here last (regular) season and the Spurs a little more than that.
Doesn't matter. I'm not talking about his stats.
He actually had a presence on the court. He dunked on people. He hustled more, tried to get a lot of offensive boards, and was more aggressive.
He did that for just a few games of the playoffs. He's like Speedy Claxton, people remember a couple games and pretend in their heads that was the norm.
True. Hopefully they will actually play in the postseason, and that will be where they surpass Rasho/Nazr's contributions.
That is what I was thinking. Like we didn't have a few other players who knew a little bit about defense.
Whatever.
He pooped on Denver, that's all I care about.
if they can poop on dallas in the playoffs this year
they are both greater then nash and rasho!
Nash???
I know the names can get confusing every once in a while, but how can one confuse Steve Nash with Nazr Mohammed?
here's to more pooping on opponents!
Opponents driving the lane in 2005 and finding Nazr and Duncan instead of Duncan and smallballer. Which was more effective?
Also timely shots blocked, even if only a *few* games, helped tremendously in winning those *few* games and series. Ya know, the 4 series the Spurs were in?
4 better then 2. That's what i be pimpin.![]()
Thanks for the research. It's interesting to see the statistical comparison. Since both sets were/are screen-setters and rebounders in their Spurs' roles, it's tough to use pure stats to see their team values.
Actually they found Duncan. Nazr was standing 10 feet away studying his playbook flash cards.Opponents driving the lane in 2005 and finding Nazr and Duncan
I wonder what the turnover comparison would be? Rasho was OK I'm guessing, but NAZR sucked?
And I don't suppose there's a category for having dunk shot blocked after three pump fakes.![]()
Not unless there is a category for most passes from slashing guards 3 feet from the basket that were brink-handed out of bounds.
you forgot about D...
