Unbelievable

Elson being aggressive is the best thing to see right now as that shows his confidence is rising. He will be needed after this round should the Spurs advance, and I really like the way Pop is coaching this series. He's getting better every game, and if that continues this could be a very nice post season for all of us here.

From my point of view...
The Spurs were not getting calls from the refs when they were getting fouled(and hacked) for MOST of the game BUT The SPURS did manage to keep the game close and did beat the Nuggets in the final stretch. Good effort on the Nuggets part and on The SPURS.

It's possible, but I don't look at +/_, I look at his offensive rebounds, his defense, his willingness to take open shots and his decision making rather than just fixating on his mistakes. Oberto has been fantastic, but Elson hasn't remotely been a liability the last two games. He's not a great rebounder, but he was fighting for them. The effort is paying off IMO.
