Don't worry I was kidding.
I think Elson's the only one that is willing to accentuate his finishes. I'd have preferred it if he would execute those plays more often, to work as a spark off the bench.
But I thought it was great that he added some emotion to that run. I only commented because I remember he got a T during his debut game from doing that same thing.
This time he made sure not to yell while the defensive player was near him so it wouldn't look like taunting.Don't worry I was kidding.

I think Bowen should be docked a half-grade for that weird drive he tried to pull on LeBron in the 1st quarter...
Although I am one of those people who hates to see over celebration. I do think the way Elson executed his celebration was spot on, considering the level of difficulty of Parker's bounce pass between defenders along with the Elson's speed and angle and the finish while being fouled.
I think Elson's pose and yell will be one of the enduring images of game one.
In the 4th, I would guess the players were instructed no 3-pointers, no drives to the rim, no fouls, let them shoot midrange shots. Gibson just got hot at the end.

I think Tony deserves an A.
Pop deserves an A, too.
Biggest problem with Elson getting minutes is he's horrid with his spacing on offense. How many times has he walked his defender over to double Tim and then not even bothered trying to get himself into a passable position. At times he REALLY bogs down the offensive set because of his poor spacing.
It's fine if Duncan isn't in there, but he needs to learn to keep space between him and Tim (aka quit trying to post at the same time Tim is).
That bounce pass from Horry to TD to seal the game was a thing of beaty. That should be shown over and over again.
manu had no assist
is that a first?
looks good.
Except for Elson's grade. I'd dock him some points because he screamed on national television.
I'll see more Oberto Hustle Man in game 2
Really. I like Fabs, but last night...
Go Fabs Go!
The Spurs have to push the pace versus the Cavs. The Cavs defense is too good in the halfcourt to try to make a living in that setting.
Getting out and running is the Spurs best chance to be successful in this series. Elson is the Spurs best running bigman outside of Duncan ... so there's a chance for him to have a successful series.
Actually, Horry had only one rebound in 23 minutes. It wasn't a huge deal since the Spurs outrebounded the Cavs, but Horry will need to bring a better effort in terms of rebounding from here on out.
Bowen accually did nothing. It was a team what stooped LeBron plus his off day

I would'nt say that. Bruce was great, the team defense did a lot though. But Lecon (sorry, bad french joke) will come huge soon
If he makes a similar play in the next game, I dare Elson to pull up his shirt and show his tummy, in the direction of nobody, just to see if he gets away with it.
