    What's happened to Oberto? I remember a few years ago, he seemed productive. He'll get some rebounds and made some baskets by being at the right spot. But now, he's getting no playing time at all... Now he doesn't seem to be able to rebound or defend. Does he just suck now or does he need some mins? Why are we paying him 3.5 mil?

    If you dont play you cant produce.

    Maybe hes treating Oberto the same way as Bowen.

    Saving him for the playoffs and taking his starting spot back.

    his 1 inch vertical has decreased to no vertical which means past used-by date....

    so we are actually paying a guy to give 6 fouls at 3m a season, something any of us here could do for 1% of that salary or nil

    Yea I wondered about this too. Oberto's effort last season and his history has shown that he's better at the defensive end than Bonner but other than easy layups he has no offense unlike the redhead.

    I think Pop wanted to give more minutes to Bonner and I think the Spurs are scared of letting a guy with a heart condition play on the court.

    Can you imagine seeing Oberto get a heart attack on the court? Pop doesn't want that to happen.

    i too want to see fab get more minutes. his great passing always got us some easy layups.

    hard to contribute when Pop isn't giving you minutes and bonners been shooting the way he has. i hope that Oberto gets more playing time as the season dies down and we go into the playoffs.

    Pop always seems to put someone in the doghouse about this time of year. Last year it was Bonner.

    Pour encouragere les autres.

    He's always blown.

    He wouldn't start on any other team in the NBA.

    Two things happened to Oberto:

    1. Thomas > Oberto
    2. Bonner's offense - Oberto's offense > Oberto's defense - Bonner's defense

    Wow, saving Oberto for playoffs.... He can`t be exhausted playing 20 mpg. He sucks too much to use more of him in playoffs
