    Because Melvin Ely, who hasn't played a lot this year and who doesn't know Spurs' systems, isn't good enough to crack the rotation for the moment.

    He has been really into the games on the sidelines. That's a good sign from a guy who has been labelled as having at ude issues in the past. Looks like he may truly want to become a part of this team.

    He's obviously been the savior everyone pined for.

    Have we lost since we traded for him?

    It's not like he was putting up numbers for Charlotte. His 2.9p/1.6r on 39% shooting in 10 minutes didn't blow anyone away. If you can't be effective in limited minutes, you're not going to succeed off the bench here.

    Fatness. I like him, maybe I'm just disappointed he hasn't gotten as excited about this opportunity for him as I am.

    Who said he was fat? When they said he wasn't in shape when he got here, they weren't talking fatness - they meant he didn't have his lungs and legs because he hadn't been playing much. They didn't mean it like the same as they talk about Butler.

    And what makes you think he isn't excited or working hard?

    The Dirk Stopper is a Myth.

    Man, it's funny. Kori hates me. If you look at her replies to any of my posts, it's obvious. Maybe I'm sensitive...or maybe it's that Kori hates me. Maybe we should start a "Countdown till Chugz is banned" thread.

    I mean that when he runs the court it looks like he's running after a Subway sandwich: it's food, but I'm not gonna kill my fat ass for it...it 'aint like it's Popeye's or no $h!t. I mean when he tries to switch on a rotation, it's like he's got the "Who's on First" confusion. When he's going to shoot the ball he's more worried about looking cool right at that second...not that he couldnt evolve into something really solid. But the question wasn't "Where is Melvin Ely IN 2008?" It's "Where is Melvin Ely NOW?" NOW...he's completely out of the loop. Whether it's conditioning or lack of comfort with the system, he still LOOKS the same.

    The team's on a 13 game winning streak and some fans are calling for the last guy off the bench to get more burn?? Did I miss something here?

    He has played like 8 minutes as a Spur (and gotten five points and three boards). You gathered a lot from those minutes.

    I didn't say he didn't look confused or lethargic on the court in his brief time. I just didn't get why you said he was fat.

    Oh and I think you are sensitive. I don't even look at the user names when I'm replying most of the time. So believe me, it's not personal

    So...If I looked at somebody for LESS than eight minutes do you think that I could tell whether or not they were fat? Just asking a question...


    Oh, I forgot this " "

    No, you usually should be able to tell instantly if someone is fat.

    But by your last post, it sounded like you were saying he was playing like he was fat.

    So you think he actually looks fat???

    No, I'm judging by his EFFORT that he's "playing like he was fat". Confusion is one thing. Unsureness is another. But being UNABLE to get to your spot is quite a different third.

    I think he moves like he smokes too much, not like he's fat.
