    As a card carrying Elson supporter, how do you rate Elson's play as of late?

    Thanks in advance.
    Read my edit....


    Elson doesn't have the mind to do it....he's definitely got the talent though.


    Ian is too green...I imagine Splitter will be as well...and no way can Bonner do it...


    So basically even if Splitter or Ian is capable of growing into that role, you are looking at a year learning curve..and you are looking at a 33-34 year old Duncan and a 32 year old Manu by that time.


    So this could concievably be the last season we are contenders for a le in the Duncan era....unless Pop has a rabbit in his hat somewhere, or Horry can turn the clock back....


    When is Udonis a FA?

    Bonner, when he's on the court, doesn't hurt the rebounding numbers at all.
    Sure he does. He is too slow to be a good rebounder. Elson is averaging 5 boards a game vs Bonner's 3.5 in about equal time. Bonner is grabbing about 17% of defensive rebounds vs Elson's 23%. Offense doesn't seem to be a problem, we don't need Bonner out there 17-18 minutes a night or Finley shooting 35%. I rather have more Elson/Udoka than Bonner/Finley, at least until the playoffs start. Then it's Horry time

    Manu learned to take those risks when he had Tim and Dave and then Tim and Rasho behind him. He is taking the same risks he always has just without the same back-up behind him.

    It is very obvious that the interior defense is not good.

    Conveniently forgot about last year.

    And the Spurs never won a championship playing Rasho significant minutes.

    And Rasho didn't even get off the bench during the 05 le run


    Fixed

    What makes it even more strange is that Bruce Bowen is having one of the strongest starts to his career ever...and Brent Barry is actually trying on D...so where does the blame lie?
    Duncan is playing weak. Rebounds down, Blocks down.

    Opponents FG% up.

    After the Sonics game I actually looked up this statistic and laughed my ass off. Then we drop even further after the Kings game. Pretty bleak if we keep this up.

    actually something like like happened earlier this year... so I am very careful these days, and I stay out of the Troll forum while at work. Somehow, someway they are watching me...

    You can pretty much bank on the fact that any thread started by timvp will be suitable for work...at least before the regs get involved.


    I'm trying to work some Pat Boone smack into this but I just can't make the full connection right now...

    Yet they are 3rd in PPG allowed and 2nd in +/- differential. I wouldn't get too upset just yet.
    Fool's gold. If opponents are routinely shooting 47%, a shooting slump by one or two Spurs can snowball into a 2-8 stretch.

    yeah, the only reason I finally decided to click on it at work... after 8 hours... was that it was timvp that started it. I took the chance that it wouldn't really be NSFW...

    If someone else started it, especially the Troll Forum posters, I wouldn't have taken the chance at work!
    You mean the Sequ threads aren't safe? How about my posts w/ the badonkadonk pics ... Anyway, while Bonner may hustle on the rebounding end, his arms are wayyyy to short to ever become a significant defender. I hate to say it, but if we met PHX in the playoffs like this, we would lose b/c we would not be able to outscore them! I believe it was Whott that said it... This may indeed be the last year unless someone is signed (don't know if they could), or someone was traded for a Biedrins-type player. Hey is that Williams dude from Jersey that got busted for toking @Boston College a 2nd rounder? Can't remember, but if so.... I've watched him several times on league pass. The kid may like the green pastures (so do I ), but his game is actually pretty good. Maybe Okafor will take a mid-level salary so he can win (just dreaming).
