The Church of Elson...Come into the light!

I like Elson quickness,
but he gotta improve in defense a lot,
until then i hold my opinion about him.
so far elson + fab>>>> nazr+rasho

What is occasional (but frequent)?

Tim's Church is axiomatic.

Somebody's been studying for the SATs.

[Fabbs]

What is occasional (but frequent)?

like regulary irregular.

He's out of position several times a game.
Then he has a game where he is out only once.

Better to be out of position a few times a game and Spurs win with Elson-Duncan TallBall

or

Be "in position" for cutesy wootsey small ball and lose.

Assume the position if you want. You'll have company.
(And i know you are not a smallball honk Sugar, by "you" i mean the smallballers and duh uh i don't sthee no differwencth with Elthson crowd)
I'll go with the Championship plan.

[ChumpDumper]

like regulary irregular.

Like incontinent.

[Fabbs]

Like incontinent.

Exactly. You've got your regular irregulars like we all are on occasion and then you have your Dumpers.

[Fabbs]

I am not in the church of anyone. I don't care if Elson, Oberto or Butler play with Duncan as long as whoever it is puts up about 7 and 7 and plays D.

How insensitive. How do you think those comments make Elson, Oberto or Butler feel?

Huh? Why should anyone care which player it is that plays as long as they get the job done?

The problem is that he's out of position so often, that his teammates expect it and try to help him, becoming out of position themselves. Then the whole defensive scheme gets out of whack. He also gets into foul trouble easily. Hopefully over time, he'll catch on. The Spurs need both Elson and Oberto to play well this season to compete in the postseason.

I actually traveled to New Orleans to attend the game on Thursday night. During a 3rd quarter timeout, Pop spent a few minutes alone with Elson to offer him instructions on how to position himself defensively.

He's a bright guy and he'll catch on. We're defintely going to need his contributions over the course of the season - especially against the Mavs.
