no center, no win?

I didn't get to see the Bucks game, but I did notice that Elson only played a third of the game, while Oberto and Butler didn't play at all.

Then I notice that the Bucks had 20 more rebounds than us!!

And I have to wonder if this is not one more example of Popavitch's idiotic desire to play small-ball.

Elson may not have played "great", but his numbers don't look awful for 17 minutes, and I can't imagine that having another 7 footer in the post would not have helped.

Of course, from reading the threads about how much the Big 3 sucked, maybe small-ball wasn't the sole reason we lost. But I still wonder. Cause I F-----G HATE SMALL-BALL!!!!!!!

Small ball would have been fine if Tony, Manu, and Tim had shown up.

In a recent game where the Spurs actually won rebounding with 39, F0 played 2+ qtrs, IIRC, and grabbed only 3 RBs. Must have been bad luck or bad bounces.
