Yes, I love Oberto too!
Great job today
Huge props
Yes, I love Oberto too!
Oberto has been solid. You really can't ask much more from him.
Yep... turned the game around for us in the second
Posted this in the game thread, "OH BOY Oberto" I say after he makes good plays.
if there's only a way we could graft elson's athleticism and quickness onto oberto, we'd be set at the center spot.
i like him every time more and more... never thought he would become such a solid Spur
His rebounding today was absolutely enormous! My hats off to him
Oberto is solid. Bit small and not too athletic...but, as smart a big guy as there is in the league. He may not be able to stop a lot of guys...but, at least he's generally in the right position to try.
More than I can say for Elson and Bonner.
Oberto really really is valuable when he's needed. Remember when we were always crying about our weakness at the 5 spot??
He's cut down on a lot of that.
The jumps that Oberto has made from 06, to 07, to now, is unreal.
Oberto was a huge reason for the win tonight with his rebounds and steals.
Oberto just busts his ass all night, gets in there, shoves guys around, dishes out hard fouls.
Hes easily becoming my favorite player on the squad.
The charge he drew on Boozer to help ice the game was as big as any play down the stretch. And picked up his rebounding against a team that rebounds as well as anyone in the league. He had as much to do with this win as any Spur not named Ginobili.
Oberto proves a smart team player without great physical skills can make major contributions to a team. I love to watch him slide around to get position against bigger and more athletic players.
Yep, Oberto came up huge tonight. If only he were a few inches taller, we'd be totally set at the 5. We'll still be needing Elson when we play against teams with good tall centers....like Houston, Dallas, Orlando and Phoenix.
Smart and heady player. Works all the time and his chemistry with Manu usually gets us at least a couple of easy baskets per game. Very patience and makes a minumin amount of mistakes. Not the great athlete that everyone would prefer but gets the job done most of the time. But I especially like the fact that he plays within himself. Rarely if ever trys to do something he really is not capable of doing. He understands his role on the team and that makes him an invaluable player for the Spurs.
Dude rocks!
Oberto played pretty well. The thing is he alwasy plays well/consistent, it often gets overlooked. He's kind of taken for granted.
All kidding aside, IMHO Oberto can carry a team. Same with that guy on the Rockets.
Tonight again confirmed something I have long suspected about Oberto; more often than not, you can count on him to come up big in big games. For most regular season games that are relatively meaningless, he can sometimes dog it and conserve energy much like Horry does. However when it's a statement game or a playoff game, he'll bring a lot more focus and is usually a lot more productive. Props to him tonight.
Is there a smarter big outside of San Antonio than Oberto? (Tim is smart too, but he's in SA)
Oberto is turning into a quintessential Spur. No style, all substance. He's playing really, really well as of late.
Like I said elsewhere, I think he's close to cementing his spot as the fifth best player on the team.
How much is Oberto making this season again?
If there were a stat to measure production-salary ratio, he's gotta be up there among the league leaders.
Oberto is playing very smart this year, he has very few off nights and he is becoming a great role player. 66% from the field shows well that he rarely takes bad shots.
Huge props to him.
Pop has always said that Oberto has the best ugly game of anyone he has ever seen.
He stated again last night that Oberto is a blue collar type guy, doing the dirty work and getting little notice for it.
Props to Oberto for a of a game last night.
He was the brain behind the party last night. Big hands, big tip, assist and steals. His passion was apparent to everybody. I love this guy.
Sequtrans:Sa passion pour le jeu était évidente pour tout le monde.
His solid play is masking the serious deficiency from the backup Center spot.
All things mentioned in this thread are spot on. Oberto is a heady player that knows where to be and creates easy scoring opportunities with his off-the-ball position. And when he gets his opportunity on offense, he seldom fails to deliver...as is noted by the 66% FG avg.
As long as he doesn't foul out, he should get the lion's share of the minutes on the frontline outside of Tim Duncan.
Making a little over $3M I think.
Agree that the early returns on the contract he signed this off-season are promising.
