Ronnie Brewer does make the Jazz much tougher in a lot of ways. A nice player. I'm jealous.
God, we need another GTG to see this live again.

Don't waste your breath. Every one of his teammates and coaches have been yelling the same thing for a couple seasons now.![]()
I'm making up for lost games this season.
I don't think the issue is Barry playing so poorly as much as it is that Finley has been playing very well. We all spoke in the off season of the crowded 2/3 spots. If you've got Finley going, obviously Manu is going to get a ton of touches, and Bruce needs his minutes. Expecting Barry to produce a ton in the 10-15 minutes left is asking alot. And anyway, why is it such a bad thing if Tim is making people better? Isn't that kind of the point?
I'll see your Mercer, and raise you:
(Beno being in the shot is just an added bonus.)
Do you think Elson is worth his contract?
I'm sure you already read the Church of Elson joke thread, but I actually think he's hurting the team more than helping at this point.
The Spurs rebounded well against Dallas, and even held their own tonight against a team that pounds the boards. The Spurs grabbed 26.8% of potential offensive rebounds, Utah grabbed 24.2% of theirs.
I'm enjoying the boardwork of the past two games as much as anything else.
So is Elson worse or the same as Nazr when it comes to the D? IMO Elson IS Nazr. But I just have a feeling that Nazr has a knack for getting O rebounds better than Elson.
Finley's play these past two games suggests that he may be more comfortable coming off the bench than in past seasons.
Is there a possibility of a change at starting SG when Duncan returns?
I would take Nazr any day of the week.
As a matter of fact, he was crucial to our 2005 run.
Also, nazr's rebounding >>>>>> Elson
and for that reason alone, I'd take Nazr
(and sorry, I know that question wasn't directed at me)
Must say TIMVP does an excellent job in these post game breakdowns.
It was actually directed towards everybody.![]()
While I agree with the general consensus, I just don't see who else we'd get for the money.
As far as hurting the team, I wouldn't be surprised if there was an upcoming loss where an Elson goof could be seen as the turning point, but I don't think they'd happen frequently enough to move him to the far back of the rotation.
I don't...just depends on if the criticism makes any sense...
I'd be willing to bet some of Barry's best games as a Spur came with Duncan injured...
The point is..
You guys made absolutely no sense...
TimVP said he guess Barry is dependent on Duncan..I said he was better before he came here...
You guys listed a bunch of guys that Duncan didn't make better...
I appreciate you giving me Boardwalk..but I was plenty happy with Park Place.
Playing on the Spurs isn't a known way to improve a players numbers...
I can list about 50 players whose numbers went down on the Spurs..and I can only think of two whose numbers went up...DA and Bruce Bowen.
Less minutes don't always = poorer play
Barry didn't play bad tonight...he got 10 minutes of PT.
Why? Fin started today, and played great.
Oops. Brainfart on my end.
You still aren't getting the pointNo one said that Tim made Barry better than he was back on the Sonics. Just saying that he maybe plays better ON THIS TEAM with Tim rather than without.

Anyway ... I'm not going to argue with Whottt because I have a lot of work to do and because I don't really care about Barry that much.
Good night Whottt - you are one of the few people who I can't ignore your posts.![]()
I can't even put into words how i feel about this team at the moment. Ive tried my hardest to thinik that an inevitable slump is coming... a string of 3 or 4 games where we play like we did against sacramento. to be able to beat 1 powerhouse without duncan might be considered a fluke... but to do it twice, one oafter the other no less... is simply amazing and gives us a glimpse into how special this team can become.
with that said... i reeeaaaaaaaallly want a slump to come up. i dont know why. i always felt it was necessary to get things picked up a few notches.
i dont know what's better... spurs peak after march.... or spurs hit a really high platueau in november and kick ass all the way to another le.
Mohammed is making the mid level and putting up Elson numbers.
So thats hilarious![]()
or maybe he's on a different team in a completely different environment

Elson's saving grace this season is his rebounding. His rebounding rate is actually good. However, outside of his rebounding, he isn't doing anything to earn playing time.
Not long ago, whottt was on the Barry and Elson bandwagon. I guess he dumped Elson. Don't hear much complaining about how timvp is doing Elson wrong these days.
I still think he's useful, just for his physique, and atheliticism.
He's a better body than our past centers. If only he could concentrate better or elevate his presence where he's not a liability. Horry yelled at him I noticed
I still think Nazr's stone hands are way worse than Elson. Also Elson knows how to finish better than Nazr.
How does that make him better than Elson?or maybe he's on a different team in a completely different environment
So thats hilarious
the way Mohammed finished his last season in SA.
I'd say Elson is close to him.
