Compared to what we've seen out of Elson so far this playoffs, I had to hold myself back from giving him an A+ for just going out there and playing decent. Second best plus/minus on the team and no turnovers (for only the second time in the last seven games) is more than you can expect out of Elson.
Absolutely. Considering that his expectations were going sharply downhill for most of the playoffs, you can't discount that performance. His rotations are improved, and his intensity level went up a notch when Pop put Oberto into the starting lineups. He plays hard, scored with his opportunities and didn't turn it over. That's about all you can ask of him.
