Where's Sequspur?
I was wrong.
I underestimated how slow Nazr and Rasho were and how much of a difference it would make to have a center who can run. I also underestimated how smart Francisco Elson is and how fast he could pick up the system.
Elson was awesome tonight. He's the most agile Spurs center since David Robinson circa 1995 and that alone makes a huge difference defensively and offensively. Pop hadn't ended an important game with a center playing down the stretch since Game 6 of the 2003 NBA Finals. It took Elson all of one game to end that streak.
Once again, I apologize and if Elson can play anywhere close to as well as he played tonight, the Spurs will be very good.
I'm sorry to Pop, RC, Presti and whoever else I offended with my comments. Elson's speed and willingness to learn are enough to justify his contract.
Thank you Francisco Elson for being better than I ever dreamt possible. Continue to play like this and you have a new fan.
Sincerely,
timvp

P.S.
I take 10% of the credit cuz of the new avatar that debuted before the game.
Where's Sequspur?
I think everyone is in that boat with you.
MAKE your 20k post a classic.
I dont want to say I was right.
I wasn't, I didn't see alot of this coming.
But damn, the Nuggets fans said to me when the Spurs signed em.
"This guy is quick, hes tough, he takes it up tough, and he will be the reason you guys beat Dallas"
Well, so far Nugget fan was right, and Im excited that they are.
If Elson can bring the quickness and the agression, he will be a tall longer version of Malik Rose.
Hopefully smarter though.
Elson did great. Hopefully he'll be the fixture at C down the stretch for the Spurs and come up huge
if elson can play like this against suns and mavs he earns his contract
What's his contract anyways? I done forgot.
And I apologize to Elson for being mad that yahoo auto drafted him for my fantasy league.
My bad.
@ Shoogar
Im scurrrrrrrred that hs makes the Spurs even scarier
Camby vs Elson , its going to be great to see!
Argh, I was this close to choosing him about 8th round.
And I apologize to Elson for being mad that yahoo auto drafted him for my fantasy league.
My bad.
I forget about checking my fantasy leagues for drops. The day before the Laker's opener someone picked up Bynum from the FA list!
leave it up to the timvp to turn an ownage into another timvp classic
If the Spurs can get that kind of all around effort from their starters and role player and stay healthy they will have a dominant season. Timmy had to do very little tonight with everyone contributing the way they did.
It's nice to finally have five good players at all five positions to put on the floor again.
Elson was tremendous. Loved his movement and ability to run the floor. Tall, quick, mobile.
i didn't think he could contribute so soon too! and he can run...
but if the Spurs fans are happy who needs a sorry?
the Q is will he be consistent? let us hope so
What's a SequSpur?
Masterful owning up. Nice use of charm to disarm potential gloaters. *jots down notes*.
I gotta admit man...never in a million years did I think Elson would be the guy who ended your undefeated streak(IF I had I would have been 100% in the Pro Elson camp). Never even saw this coming.
It was a great undefeated streak. And I'm kinda of sad to see it end *sheds tear*, Damn you Elson...
@#$#$@$# I coulda sworn I deleted that. Link?
It was post playoff loss bitterness...nothing more.
I remember when whottt used to post high bball IQ posts all the time, he'd never be wrong. Then he was dumped, chumpdumped.
Thanks. I guess all good streaks come to an end. With the branches that I've stepped out on, I'm actually kinda surprised that it took this long for me to fall face first back to earth.
Oh well. Time to start a new streak.
