who suprised you the most today?
My thoughts on the centers today:
Right now, Butler looks like the 12th or 13th man. He's got to get into shape and get a little more active on D. He wasn't very good today.
Against Addeco, Oberto looked like a starter. Elson was pretty good on his screen-setting and rebounding. Elson on D was good positionally on helpside but he was a little soft on post defense. He played a lot in the big lineup (both 1st and 2nd half) with Timmy as the other Big.
sounds like elson is the starter
FC Barcelona up by 9 in the 4th, looks like the 76ers will lose
I was very dissapointed with Bonner. I hope this was just shaking off cobwebs. I was impressed with Elson though, and Wow did Oberto look good or What? Maybe some minutes other than garbage minutes for him this year.
Oberto played scrappy. He'll get some O. boards and dump-down passes. Otherwise, he shouldn't foul as much as last year.
Elson wasn't terrible. He plays tough, despite looking smaller than you'd think. His positioning is already better than Nazr, and he'll probably wipe memories of Nazr away, all things considered, although he'll have a block only every three games or so.
Butler wasn't really there. Not a great start for him, but he's not used to a structured offense and defense. He's a veteran, but after all only played for the Knicks. If this game is any indication, we shouldn't expect much out of him at all, while Elson is a player who can find a lot of playing minutes. I'd expect Oberto to be supplanted as a starter, but get enough minutes off the bench.
I wouldn't say that just yet. Oberto played extremely well today with hustle rebounds, working to the open baseline spots to bust the zone, screening was solid, passing was crisp, excellent defense.
And Philadelphia lost to Barcelona!
Sorry, you must be talking about someone else. He was essentially a rookie last year (3 games in 04-05) and he's 21.
Oberto - Looked comfortable out on the floor. Played well with Duncan. Defense was improved. If he can get defensive rebounds, he might be a candidate to start.
Elson - What I expected. Can run the floor some. Get a couple rebounds. Isn't much of a threat to block shots and is weak around the basket.
Butler - Looked lost out there ... but then again he didn't get to play with the starters like Oberto and Elson did. Having Bonner covering your back is a big difference than having Duncan behind you. Showed good hands but will need to become more active overall.
Bonner - Looked a little nervous but had good energy. Did a nice job of working off screens.
Melzer - The king of the inbounds pass. Tall, long arms and can really pass the ball. Hopefully we get to see more of him.
Lee - Only saw a little bit but he had good body control and didn't rush anything. If he can be a point guard, he might push Beno for a spot on the team.
Oberto would be better of the bench and bring energy
oberto fouls to much to play starting minutes
Oberto plays well against Euros. We'll see if he can play that way once they go back to the US.
I didn't watch, obviously ... are these games played using NBA or FIBA rules?
Don't know if its been posted, but can somebody post a box score?
He is not a rookie = a veteran, in this case. I mean he's seen NBA sets and is familiar with the play.
Yeah Jackie Butler the wily veteran.
Hope you didn't sprain something jumping to THAT conclusion. No, he isn't a rookie. Yes, there will be rookies this year who will have played more games than Butler has, to date, BEFORE this season is over. As for NBA sets, he was playing for THE ING KNICKS.
we played a french team....of course orberto is gonna look good....he's still a bum though and always will be...if he's starting, we are in trouble
Christ. The point of the ing statement was that Butler has some experience under his belt. You guys are first class A-holes. Obviously he's not an Horry-level veteran, but he's one compared to Rich Melzer. Or you losers.
I swear this place takes a distant second to Spursreport some days.
Ouch. THAT one hurt.
SpursReport shouldn't even be mentioned within this website. They are without a doubt one of the crappiest Spurs sites ever.

Then go post there Mrs. Javtokas.
i believe they used a hybrid of NBA and FIBA rules
