Oberto is so important to this team, you could see it today again. The offense runs smoother, he scratched David West all game long, he moves so good on the floor, he has the experience of winning so many titles, high Bball IQ, great picks. Spurs should be very happy to have such a guy, cause you need these players to win the Championships@ all you brainless athletic freak PF's out there

[san antonio spurs]

great game for Oberto, he'll have to do the same thing to ODOM

[Bob Lanier]

Boards?

[Manu'sMagicalLeftHand]

Boards?

9 in 32 minutes, plus a couple of tips to teammates that don't get counted in the stats.

[DAF86]

Fab is fabuloso!!!!!! :toast

[thispego]

I'm expecting to hear from all the people who downplay what Oberto means to this team and who think he is a scrub who deserves to be gone next year. Check in and apologize or I will start quoting motherfuckers..........

[ancestron]

Oberto is the best crappy player ever.

[hater]

Oberto best passing big man in the playoffs right now.

Props to Kurt Thomas too.

ancestron - dumbass #1

you know absolutely shit about basketball. I thought this before today.

idk about you... but Kurt>Oberto all series...

Oberto was messing up today.

Kurt 6 boards 5 offensive in 7 minutes.

That's actually a compliment. I think that Pop even said something like that once.

He guarded West better than Kurt all series. Game 6 & 7 he was all over him. Kurt didn't match up well with NO, but will be very important against the Lakers.

[1Parker1]

Oberto had one of his best games of the postseason tonight. His defense was awesome, his passing was great, and his basketball IQ was in full display. Just an all out great game from him. Let's hope he can continue vs LA

if you call that guarding...

West was unstoppable for most of the series... I honestly don't think that it was only him... when the D worked on West it was because he was swarmed... but ok..

I don't agree. He struggled (as the entire team did) in games 1, 2 and 5.

And his picks for Parker and Manu are key to get the ball moving, otherwise it's an isolation for Parker/Manu or 4down.

[Radiosparks]

He knows how to position himself to receive the ball.

Besides a couple of good assists to Duncan and back he didn't do anything special.. He is on the floor because of Pop... so he must play D to get his minutes... but other than that nothing really special.

[thispego]

wrong, and you should know, argentinian.

pop said that oberto is the best ugly player he has seen.

[thispego]

SENSE... i thought you knew better.

why are Spurs fans, of all people, blind to individual spurs players' greatness?

do you people watch the game or the box score?

[shelshor]

[MarceloM!]

Fabricio is important not for his numbers but for the dirty work, boards, passing and hard defense. And Pop knows it well. People that known well about basketball can appreciate his work.

I guess I'm still kind of bitter for having to go to seven games for a couple of stupid games in the regular season. :/

[mVp]

He does his job and does what he's asked to do as best he can... He's not gonna score 40 or hit the big shot, but you can count with those little things he does to win games.

[Anti.Hero]

I agree. Oberto made some pretty stupid moves, but somehow he works out alright.

I've always like Oberto but his softness does kill us sometimes.

I'm not saying he doesn't... he just wasn't that great this series...

I mean unless we make a thread of everyone that played tonight I really don't understand this thread.

no big deal. we knew goin in this would be the spurs hardest road to a championship yet! Gotta keep rolling and treat every game like a game 7 :lobt:

[DAF86]

Well my bad then, I thought that what ancestron said was similar to what Pop said.

I'm an Argentinian that lives in Argentina, sometimes I don't get what people really mean on this forum.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Yeah, short memories. And West torched him in the 1st Q today as well.

However, he had a great all-around game, and his passing in this series has been excellent.

Props to Fab. :tu

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

BTW, I think ancestron meant "scrappy", and yes, that's what he is, a fantastic scrapper.

Wish he could jump though...

[OldSilentHill]

Pop brings Oberto to the court for such a bunch of minutes for some reason, right?

Who we are to discuss such desition from him? His coaching capability is in question here?

Please stop this shit, Oberto is very useful because the Spurs is a real TEAM. In any other team he will be nothing less than just a normal/regular player with just a few minutes on the court.

Props to Pop for that, he gets good things from his players and that´s why he is such a damn good coach.

[Manu'sMagicalLeftHand]

He's underrated because he doesn't dunk like Chandler, but his defense tonight on West and also trapping Paul and breaking his rhythm in the pick and roll was key.

wtf are you talking about? What is being argued is what was so special about him ... IN THIS SERIES.... if you can't read don't post the shit you just did.

Are you trying to compare him to Chandler? Don't even go there :lol

understandable

ffr

crappy = shitty

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Oh yeah, go ad hominem. That makes so much sense.

Oberto isn't SCRAPPY? Please explain. I could give a fuck about ancestron, I was making a joke.

Thank you Fabri!

yes he is scrappy. you said you thought ancestron didnt mean to type crappy. you could have made your point without trying to stand up for someone who doesn't know shit about basketball.

I dont understand your attitude, I understood perfectly and I´m giving my point of view.

And my point of view is this: here in this thread there are some posters dont appreciate the awesomeness of Oberto. Ok, "awesomeness" is a little exagerated, I agree. But my point is that G. Popovich (rings any bell this name to you?) do appreciate Oberto. His awesomeness, utility or wathever you wanna call it. If he does, why some posters can´t?

So, stop your shit and enjoy the victory, that you are really in a bad mood, but something tells me is nothing to do with basketball.

Hope you can fix your personal troubles. Take care.

[T Park]

Oberto Thomas Horry is the best bigman tandem in Spurs history since David Robinson retired.

Period.

[Sense]

http://www.rainbowcharlie.ca/READING%20COMPREHENSION.jpg

if you say he doesn't dunk like Chandler and therefore that's why he's underrated... you're stating that Chandler isn't and that Oberto should be in the same sentence...

but you know what?

I'm going to stop arguing... obviously Oberto is amazing..


Go Argentina!

[vander]

yes I have to admit, Fabio was not noticeably terrible today, props to him :toast

Oberto is a crucial part of this team. Those who don't realize this by now please walk into a wall.

[capek]

He had a great game tonight. Very solid D, some good boarding, and some great passes. His play was very important to the winning effort tonight.

[ancestron]

yes he is scrappy. you said you thought ancestron didnt mean to type crappy. you could have made your point without trying to stand up for someone who doesn't know shit about basketball.

I thought you were cooler when your title said, "Devin Harris is a scrub"

[OldSilentHill]

Oberto played a very good game in the last one. But he didn´t play so many minutes as usual.

Maybe he doesn´t have to, in order to have a good performance?

[Tyler_Durden]

Fab rules. Ancestron wasn't insulting him. Its obvious she was echoing Pop's sentiment.

[nikegirl]

I like Oberto, I think he has been a big help to Duncan especially with those nifty passes.

[DarrinS]

I like Oberto, I think he has been a big help to Duncan especially with those nifty passes.

Agreed. He also pretty good at finishing around the basket.


His freethrow mechanics make Duncan's look like Brent Barry.
