You think thets bad. Rememba when timvp said beno was made of steel?
Best cant_be_faded post evers.
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.
Ouch, what about when TIMVP posted the picture of Steve Nash with a BENO thread?
That mightve been the 48 point game VS Phoenix.
So is Elson > Rasho? Is that the final word?
Apology accepted timvp. You are still my hero.
an ugly rash that won't go away, or at least admit that it's wrong.
Sbhoogar in rare form tonight
I don't need to say sorry...
Elson better start tomorrow
Lord yes...
Better than Nazr from the looks of it...
Elson looked ing good out there tonight...potentially the perfect cure for the Mavs.
I mean I didn't know the guy could block shots...and from the looks of it, he can. He got jobbed on a couple of blocks...
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 ty coaching ability of George Karl. Obviously, Karl is severely over-rated.
TimVP(and 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.
Then at halftime, I headed to the bowling alley and proceeded to watch the rest of the game and was really surprised by Frankie's play.
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.
Dallas.
Onto the next game....
Welcome to the Spurs Frankie!
Well timvp's initial assessment of him actually comes when we saw him in person in the summer of 2004. And he sucked badly. He was one of the worst players in all of summer league.
In watching him in Denver in the past few years, we always knew he could run well and dunk. That's why I've been repeating to people that was going to be his strength. But he was a weak rebounder and poor shotblocker. Maybe that was a byproduct of their system. Or maybe tonight was a fluke.
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
Yeah, if any sane person looks at the stats Elson put up in the playoffs last year, the only conclusion you could arrive to was he was a choker of the worst kind. He put up the worst stats I've ever seen out of an NBA player.
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.
I'm not saying he was right about anything. I'm just saying ...
Anyway, I was sick of him boycotting Spurs games because of Elson, so hopefully this will make him go to the game tomorrow
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?
No but when we've been going to preseason games, he's been acting like I'm making him go get a root canal.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?
Timvp's extra verbose arguments makes him more of my hero than anyone.
I personally thought our ball movement tonight blew ass, in fact, we started 2004 and 2005 openers with much better movement iirc. That was the thing i was ing about almost as much as our lack of D.
Then elson blocked that ass pony
Well compared to Denver where they average like 1.2 passes per possession, today looked heaven to Elson.I personally thought our ball movement tonight blew ass, in fact, we started 2004 and 2005 openers with much better movement iirc. That was the thing i was ing about almost as much as our lack of D.
