Game 6: Time For Fabricio Oberto To Return To Starting Lineup

With the Spurs facing a win or go home game tonight, I think it's time for Fabricio Oberto to return to the starting lineup. Ok say what you want about Oberto, I know a lot of people don't like him and don't think he is very good. However, I think when he starts and play major minutes the Spurs offense and defense are better and the numbers don't lie. Take a look:

In the 64 games Fab started in the regular season:
Spurs record is 46-18 72%
Fab avg 5.6ppg 5.6rpg
Spurs avg 95.6ppg
Oppt avg 89.7ppg

In the 40 games Fab played 20 plus minutes in the regular season:
Spurs record is 30-10 75%
Fab avg 7.1ppg 6.9rpg
Spurs avg 96.8ppg
Oppt avg 90.0ppg

In the 18 games Fab didn't start in the regular season:
Spurs record is 11-7 61%
Fab avg 2.1ppg 4.1rpg
Spurs avg 94.6ppg
Oppt avg 93.7ppg

In the 42 games Fab played under 20 minutes in the regular season:
Spurs record is 27-15 64%
Fab avg 2.7ppg 3.7rpg
Spurs avg 94.0ppg
Oppt avg 91.1ppg

In the playoffs Fab has started 2 games both games won by the Spurs. With him off the bench and Kurt Thomas starting the Spurs are 4-4.

Pop Start Fab tonight!!!!
