It was one game, yes. But his whole career shows he's not a fluke. The guys for real. I was thinking the GM's were kicking themselves last night when I saw Blair playing and bitch slapping Scola.:lol
Some highly-educated, Ph.D.-level people are going to lose their jobs because of Blair. I hope he's happy. Home wrecker!!!

Blair already causing grief .. a successful end to Day 1 of his campaign for payback vs those who doubted him during the draft.. and the regular season hasn't even begun. I hope he NEVER loses that chip on his shoulder...:lol

Been it wasn't RC's choice to keep finley. You should have broken finleys thumbs for exercising his contract.

I think it's just one of those things though. The Spurs are the type of organization that could afford the risk of drafting him because if he didn't work out, they'd still be ok. But especially for teams that were in the lottery, it would be a much harder thing to deal with if injury concerns manifested.
But then again, there were still teams in the bottom of the first round and earlier in the second round that probably should have taken the gamble.

Well, I'm glad they didn't.
But I agree, another thing could be that those teams never expected Blair to still be there and already had specific players in mind.

I'm a big believer in the notion that preseason numbers are frequently useless. And I don't know what to make of Pop's choice to temper expectations about this kid. But what seems apparent to this point about DeJuan Blair is that he rebounds the basketball effectively from the time he wakes up unti he puts his head on the pillow. If he does that at even a 5-6 rebound per game rate during this coming season, he will make a big difference to this team.

A reserve forward for the 76ers, played with Cleveland when the Spurs kicked their asses in 07. Good 3-point shooter, role-player off the bench, seems like a decent enough guy from what I've read about him.

I'll take 5 or 6 rebounds from a 37th pick every night.

16 points and 19 Rebounds even in a preseason game is a great rookie debut game. It shows plenty of potential and promise, I can see why just after 1 game lots of NBA execs are kicking themselves for passing on Blair.

Blair is good. He might not have a long career, but I wish we would have picked him in the 2nd round. I'll take a couple years of an excellent player over 5 years of a mediocre player any time.
DONNY marshall dude
you really do make threads shitty to read. most people know what marshall's opinion is worth.

Exactly I can understand why teams would pass on him in the lottery and mid first round because its risky picking him due to his no acl's when you can get a highly talented player with good health plus most teams are rebuilding who have those type of picks. I think with those teams they can't afford to take the risk while the spurs are in a win now mode so if Blair can be good only for 4-5 years thats good enough considering nothing will matter after Duncan is retired.
