You asked what's wrong with Elson guarding Bosh. I simply answered. Bosh is not the same player as Dirk. If Elson got 4 quick fouls tonight, he will be in trouble on Bosh.
I see your point. In November Elson played against Dallas and had 4 points and 6 rebounds. In April he got a DNP-CD.
It all becomes clear now.

How are they different.
both are long power forwards who shoot jumpers from the outside.....
One is a little more agressive, but other than that....
Once again, Rasho is gone. Time to move the on.

Tell that to Bosh's 3 dunks tonight-- two set up by beautiful hi-lo passes from Rasho.

Whoever this is boy or girl, has gone to the level of mental sickness.
The issue is dead...
Oberto, Elson and Horry won't do a worse job on Bosh than Rasho.
Rasho is a slow center, he isn't great at defending PFs.
Rasho is great a team defender and a great team defender against big centers like Yao and Shaq.
Well, I'd have to agree that absence of Rasho will not decide this game.As for that game, I think Rasho's main quality was great help defense - when he needed to cover Bosh for few seconds and deny a single move.
Pop might try with Horry, but TD is probably going to take over as the game goes on. Or maybe not.
The truest words i've read all day.For once I think I agree with BH- Oberto MUST go... I can't stand his play. He looks lost out there.
So Oberto on Bosh then?
I don't think ploto will be around. Looks like a whottt like retirement when the Rasho jocking got owned to the tune of 18 points and 17 rebounds.
Pretttttyyyy quietttt....
...from the people wanting to put Oberto on the bench.
I still want him on the bench.
Elson will eventually take over, he seems to be a better defender, and a better scorer, but right now he is still learning the system and Oberto as he showed against the Raptors and the knicks can do some good things. Oberto did a great job on Bosh and on Nowitski in the 2nd half of that Dallas game. I just think that right now Pop is very comfortable with Oberto. But eventually the change will come.
Oberto shouldn't even be playing, let alone starting.
Wow. That's pretty drastic. He was the best big on the floor against the Raptors.
I don't know why it's always one or the other. Spurs fans should want Oberto and Elson to both play and play well. Both of them have big weaknesses and in order for the Spurs to be successful they need to both do what they can do.

Oberto is showing that there are situations where he can be effective, which is something I never thought I'd say after last year.
I still think Elson's upside is much higher, especially after he's comfortable in the defense and his offensive roles have been defined.
I think all sane Spurs fans want that.
I just want Elson to play along side Duncan. And coming off the bench limits that time.
Can't wait to see how Elson performs against the "setting" Suns. I feel like he's going to be a big asset in both our rebounding and transition D.
I was alittle drastic sure, I just don't think he is starting material though.Wow. That's pretty drastic. He was the best big on the floor against the Raptors.

He's shooting 80% from the floor and outrebounding Elson. So I think he's going to be starting for a bit.
Plus, Oberto plays better with Manu, so that helps that Oberto starts.
That being said, I expect a big day from Elson against the Suns.
