Agreed!
Hey everybody, lets all ease off from bashing Rasho. He's not the best player the Spurs have had in that position, but nonetheless he's contributing and doing his own thing. Unfortunately, the guy before him is an allstar and had a great carreer! HE CAN'T OR ISN'T THAT PLAYER!! He does contribute to the team, but I guess when stats don't show him scoring 15pts and 12 rebs a game, he's not doing much according to some of you guys. Lets support the Spurs, yes, all the players, and enjoy the successful season thus far, and hope for greater things to come.
Agreed!
No.
Yes!
----------------------
Just off baby!
No one expects him to get 15 and 12 or be an AllStar. How about just some consistent effort?
You are right rr, he is not an all-star but he can be better. He can be more aggressive and Kori nailed it, he needs to be consistent.
I don't even care if his numbers aren't consistent. I just want his effort to be.
"needs to be consistent."
Not just RN, but whole team needs to be more consistent. That "effort" against DEN, esp the all-important defense, the Spurs' strongest, differentiating point, was weak enough to allow 30 pts in the 3rd qtr. And for those touting the Spurs offense, for playing their starters much more than usual, 99 pts was also very weak.
While Rasho is currently an easy target for the same heads to keep shooting at (notice ing has no result, it's just the heads main pleasure), the Spurs have higher priorities to work on.
Sometimes the puzzle piece just doesn't fit.
Rasho is not a Spur, even though he is.
Sequ will always hate Rasho.
Sequ, if rasho had a triple double, what would you do?
A triple double against the Heat?
( i know he never will come close,) but even if he did, u would still hate him??
Rasho could have a quadruple double in the Finals and be named MVP and Sequ would say "yeah but he missed 2 ft's"
"No one expects him to get 15 and 12 or be an AllStar. How about just some consistent effort?"
Perfectly said - 8-10 pg + 8-10 rebounds would be enough if he brought it everynight on BOTH ENDS. His biggest upside is that he could be even better defensively.
MadDoc
although if he gets 11 boards and the Spurs win, I will take it!
He got those 11 boards in 3 plays because he went up soft and missed several times. He needs to step up or the Spurs start looking at other options. What about Tyson Chandler from the bulls?
Chandler could work out, good rebounder sho blocker with size. Pipe dream though.
This from the person who started yet another thread about Rasho.Enough about Rasho!
Not until he looks like he cares. Not until he lives up to his potential. He's got size and skills. If he could figure out what to do with them, he could be one of the best centers in the league.Hey everybody, lets all ease off from bashing Rasho.
He's not contributing enough. All I ask is that he brings some effort every night and that he does all of the little things. And he needs to bring some toughness to the table.He's not the best player the Spurs have had in that position, but nonetheless he's contributing and doing his own thing.
Not one poster on this forum expects him to do what Robinson did in his prime. If he could come close to what Robinson provided when he was stiff and physically ed up just about everyone would be happy.Unfortunately, the guy before him is an allstar and had a great carreer! HE CAN'T OR ISN'T THAT PLAYER!!
The stats don't. And you know what? If you watch the games, you'll see that he could be doing a lot more of the little things that don't show up on the stat sheet. What about getting in position to get an easy basket when the guards get in the lane? What about going up strong to the hoop and finishing with authority as his size indicates that he should be able to do? He could do all of the little things AND fill up the stat sheet without ever having a played called for him. He's got the body and the ability.He does contribute to the team, but I guess when stats don't show him scoring 15pts and 12 rebs a game, he's not doing much according to some of you guys.
He just doesn't have the mental capacity to be a really good basketball player. That's really the issue here.
I support the Spurs as much as anyone. I criticize sometimes because I want them to get better so they'll win a championship. I'm not happy with their current play because I'm not convinced that it will bring a championship. And that's what I want for the team, myself, and the city of San Antonio.Lets support the Spurs, yes, all the players, and enjoy the successful season thus far, and hope for greater things to come.
There are inferior centers in the league to be sure. And Rasho isn't a terrible player. But he needs to start doing the things he needs to do in order to make an impact on the court. There are few other seven footers that are as invisible as Rasho.
Rasho needs to go up stronger on both ends of the floor. He may not need to dunk but atleast go up strong. And if you foul, try and not give up the And1 too.
There is no excuse for his play. Saying, "Well there are worse centers out there!" is poor logic. If the Spurs as a whole were only an average team would you cut them the same slack? I still have an ounce of patience left for him. He needs to show up for the next five games. After that, there are no more excuses.
9.25 rebounds in 24 minutes last 4 games. If you want to focus on the positive.
3.5 points in the same span though. If you want to focus on the negative.
Most people like to focus on his weaknesses. Some even make them up, like saying he's a poor defender. He's having a pretty horrible season on the offensive end, but some people really believe his only asset is his 7 feet of length. People who know Spurs know Pop doesn't play people who he thinks are doing bad regardless of how much they make, so i would like to know what some of these people who call Rasho worthless think of Popovich for still allowing him to play 25 minutes a game, he must be practically re ed compared to these basketball genuises who see how utterly useless Rasho is on both ends of the court.
Yes, but how many key times is he on the floor? How many fourth quarters? I don't think Pop has given up on him and neither have I. But like I said my patience is wearing very thin.
The guy is so focused on defense and rebounding, he has lost all confidence in his offense. His D an rebounding have been decent over the past few games.
He needs to step up. Not even comparing him against anyone else but himself, his stats this year are lower than his OWN averages!
His offense sucks.
The Spurs' defense is better when he's on the floor.
That's about it.
Rasho is the biggest star of this forum! Almost everything is talking about him.
He is the man!
