I think those lines spoken by Bilbo at the beginning of the story could have referred to both Smaug and the elves. Certainly he thought that their 'abandonment' by the elves in their time of dire need hastened their downfall at Erebor and at Moria. So, yeah, no love for the elves there. I noted also his look of disgust when he pulled the arrow out of the orc's neck after they had escaped down the slide into the cave. Looking at the arrowhead, he spat, "Elves".

They're trying to emphasize the Dwarf vs. Elf friction.

There was an earlier thread where a poster got rather upset about reading something in the thread that he didn't know.
