I'm heading off for dinner then the game. Another night without Timmy and Manu. Damn, I bet Tony feels lonely. I hope I get to check out Pops-I want to see if he's all that...I hope he is...

Elson!!!
"Can you Dig IT???!!!"
Francisco elson. If pops has a higher bball iq then he might be fine.
From what I remember of him at GWU, while both are largely limited (offensively) to dunking, PMB isn't nearly as bball IQ bankrupt as Francisco Elson.
Yeah Pop will play Pops because he can hop but has no flops
If he can be smarter than elson and bring what elson brought basketball wise; then he's gonna be great.
well Elson's a 7-footer, which is the big difference..
Pops will definitely get a shot..
Tolliver got his shot, Farmer got his shot, and now Malik has been getting a shot..there's no doubt that Pops will, since Duncan is hurt..
Spurs Sign Pops Mensah-Bonsu
SAN ANTONIO – The San Antonio Spurs today announced that they have signed free-agent forward Pops Mensah-Bonsu to a 10-day contract.
The 25-year-old Mensah-Bonsu had most recently been playing with the Austin Toros, the Spurs NBA D-League affiliate. In eight games with the Toros, he averaged 26.6 points, 13.0 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 2.50 blocks in 39.8 minutes. His best game with the Toros came on 2/22 vs. Colorado where he had 39 points and 18 rebounds in 47 minutes.
Mensah-Bonsu was signed by the Dallas Mavericks after going unpicked in the 2006 NBA Draft. During the 2006-07 season he appeared in 12 games with the Mavericks, averaging 2.4 points and 1.0 rebounds in 5.9 minutes. That season he also appeared in 26 games for the Fort Worth Flyers of the D-League, averaging 15.8 points and 10.4 rebounds in 30.7 minutes. Mensah-Bonsu was selected to the 2007 D-League All-Star Game where he captured MVP honors after scoring 30 points and grabbing 7 boards.
The 6-10, 240-pound forward was born in London and played collegiately at George Washington University. He spent four years with the Colonials finishing his career second on the school’s all-time blocks list (141) while earning Atlantic-10 All Conference First Teams honors during his senior year.
Mensah-Bonsu will wear uniform #54.
i'm hoping he'll give us at least 5-6 ppg, but more importantly give us about 6-7 rpg, maybe 8-10 but i'll probably be pushing it, though.
LOL he'll be lucky to get 5 mpg
by saying that you're acting as if you seen him play already in the dleague and think he is a scrub or something.
his mpg/playing time is probably a direct result of his dedication/pop-satisfactory level/etc. it's not like popovich/the staff is wasting their time signing useless guys just for the heck of it.
he'll definitely get minutes against the Clippers soon, so that will be interesting..
It comes from watching Pop deal with end-of-the bench guys for years and years. Don't take it personal, that's just the way it is.
maybe in the first few games in the season
not this late in the season
Next team with size would be the Clippers, hope Pops has been given a chance to earn minutes by then, so we could possibly see him on Kaman or Camby or "insert third Clippers big here".
Good call
Poor s for how long are you going to be able to play without duncon?
lucky bas s
