It says a lot about a man that he readily admits it when he's wrong. Nice one timvp.
We should have a sticky thread at the top of the forum for making calls - a one-stop-reference for "I told you so" or "You're an idiot" posts. :lol
Ouch, what about when TIMVP posted the picture of Steve Nash with a BENO thread?
That mightve been the 48 point game VS Phoenix.

And his scoring...
Even Pop said that he didn't know Elson had a post up game...
I think part of the blame for TimVP's epic pwnage lies with the shitty coaching ability of George Karl. Obviously, Karl is severely over-rated.
TimVP(and hell I did too) mistakenly assumed that if Elson had all these abilities, a "great coach" like George Karl would have used them. I mean Karl is a defensive coach. And it's evidentally what Pop thought as well....Karl is seriously over-rated as a defensive coach....and the Nuggets got owned worse than TimVP if Elson can play like this on a consistent basis.
I was extremely pissed in the first quarter when Oberto was playing. I actually was sent upstairs to my room for my vulgar language. :(Quote:

Then, I received the validation. Kori's text message as a reminder that I was wrong. She never fails to remind me. Then, subsequently, I received, the timvp reminder.
Then the Spurs fukkin took over the game and won.
Fuck Dallas.
Onto the next game....
Welcome to the Spurs Frankie!

Time will tell, but, for tonight, he looked damn good.
Well I was trying to get Chris Paul for Rasho but since I waived Rasho already...
leave it to kori to defend her timvp

On top of that, Elson sucked and averaged like 4 points in summer league three summers ago. But obviously, he has worked his ass off since then. He's faster, stronger and a lot more basketball savvy then when I watched him courtside in Utah for the Rocky Mountain Revue.
What this reminds me of is Bruce Bowen. Bowen sucked for a long time but kept working on it. He was nothing until he got under Pat Riley and Riley made him an NBA player. He came to the Spurs and he just exploded from there.
Elson is about the same age than Bowen was when he first came to the Spurs. Both got a late start in the NBA and had to work their way up. He has a Bowen like hunger.
And like whottt said, George Karl looks bad right now. His 12th man just owned the reigning Western Conference champions on national TV. He obviously didn't know what he had and did a good job of making him look like crap. Part of the problem is Denver plays an isolation offense and that does nothing for Elson. The Spurs have a lot of ball movement that puts him in much better positions. And that's not even talking about defense. Karl's version of defense is half court traps and full court presses.
I had watched Elson live and watched what he had done for the Nuggets. The stats backed up my assumptions that he was a scrub.
Where I miscalculated was his speed, his Bruce Bowen like desire and his basketball IQ. If he can play 90% of how well he played tonight for the rest of the season, he'll go down as the best signing in Spurs history. Forget Manu, Tony, Bruce, Elie, AJ, whoever ... the Spurs found a diamond inside a rotting pile of garbage that no team in the league would touch with a ten foot basketball pole.

Anyway, I was sick of him boycotting Spurs games because of Elson, so hopefully this will make him go to the game tomorrow :married:
He didn't by any chance ever go so far to say that he'd never go to a Spurs game with Elson on the team, did he?Quote:

Then elson blocked that bitch ass pony :fro
Well compared to Denver where they average like 1.2 passes per possession, today looked heaven to Elson.Quote:
