Elson is very light on his feet, seems to move around as effortlessly as much a smaller man. Hot damn, what a great surprise he is to open the season.

very impressive.... another diamond in the rough?
*casually reminds crowd that he liked the Elson signing from the start*
Elson is the first Spurs center to dunk the ball in two seasons.
I forgot they were even allowed to do that.
timvp is a basketball god in terms of all basketball related IQ theories and abstracts. Whatever he says about franny, I agree :tu
Jesus, it's been so long since a Spurs center took it to the rim hard and dunked instead of pump faking or just laying it up.
Get ready to hear:
1 game....
Let's see if he can keep it up.....
I never said Elson was not athletic...
Blah Blah Blah....
Elson can move his feet, gained a lot of confidence tonight, looks determined, going to get a lot of looks from the fast breaks, and brings intensity and hustle.....
I think the most impressive thing about him is not that he's athletic (which he is) but that he doesn't give a shit whether he gets blocked or not, he's going for the dunk...gotta love that, and it's more exciting than what we've had before...fuck the techs, his energy is great, and hopefully it's contagious.
he played a great game.
I'm not trying to put him down, put was just one game. Keep it up and we'll see.
Spurs_title = Elson > ((Rasho + Nazr) << 1) ? 1:0;
In LJ's defense, if Elson keeps this up, NO ONE can predict what a player will do on a new team.
Tim needs to stop his layin shit, and take it up strong, powering those big shoulders in the defender to push him under the basket.
Remember his misssed lay in in Game5 @DET?
I guess you missed that last preseason game when we beat... who again?Quote:

Sometimes you just need a team to have confidence in you and let you play your game. Playing along Timmy and with great ball handlers like TP and Manu allows Elson to really play a style he's comfortable with. Rasho and Nazr were never comfortable in this system - it appears the Spurs have found someone who is comfortable and can be productive in the system. Remember - this isn't some scrub team he showed up big against, it was dirk and a very good mavs team.Quote:

I agree. I liked the signing and I think he will do well but it was still one game. Here is to many more! :toastQuote:
1 game....

I also know that if timvp is proved wrong by Elson...no one will be happier than timvp because it will mean the Spurs are doing well.
LJ will enjoy merging all these Elson threads.
You're right. And with that w, yall have alreay sealed up the western conf.Quote:

1 game. Didn't Nazr have 34 in one game last season?
Elson is just as likely to come out and have 2pts 1reb tomorrow night.
Obviously it's exciting to have a center who is fleet footed and can actually jump higher than 5 inches, but people are going to be disappointed if they expect performances like this every game.
It's a basketball forum.Quote:
