If Y'all can stomach the 30 sec commercial, a good 2 min interview with DB after the Knicks game given by the somewhat catatonic Steve Smith.

i just saw it, and man blair is always super nervous when being interviewed! i knew he was going to be extremely nervous since its nba tv. hell get better as he does more right now its just really funny seeing the beast choke up on camera. im gald they gave him some props, it will make him want to be on more often.

[lennyalderette]

thus making him even hungrier on court!!

[Donnie Hathaway]

DeJuan is so sick...

"Thats all I know, GO HARD."

Only if more players on our squad had that mentality, we'd be 2nd to lakers without a question IMO.

[greyforest]

seems like he likes satown, i hope he stays around a while.

[Evil Angel]

Solid game by him too. I went OH NO here we go when he picked up first foul so quick, but he seemed to settle in.

[exstatic]

DeJuan and George are probably my favorite Spurs right now.

DeJuan does seem a bit anxious sometimes, like he's trying to do the next thing before he completes the current thing. What he probably doesn't realize is that if he calms down just a little, the game itself will seem to slow down, and he'll see everything better and make better decisions. Bonner better pray that doesn't happen, because if it does, he won't get his spot back.

Agreed.

I get the sense that DeJuan is on the verge of hitting on all cylinders on a consistent basis. Having Timmy as a calming influence helps as well.

[TIMMYD!]

I'm hoping Tim can mentor DJB on everything so that by next season, or hell the way he's learning, this season he can permanently keep the starting job and up his BBIQ.

[angelbelow]

Defintely a great interview to watch. He still seems very happy about dropping to SA, which is great.

[Chomag]

I'm still thrilled today as much as I was the day he fell into our lap on draft day.

I have noticed TD taking him under his wing and talking to him alot duiring the games. He is so lucky to have that opportunity to learn from one of the greats.

[boutons_deux]

Assuming his miraculous ACL-less knees stay the course, DJB will be much more effective when he loses the shyness and starts to believe that he is completely responsible for the outcome of the game and assumes that responsibility, with no little amount of meanness. Right now he seems like an excited kid still playing a game for fun.

I'm very impressed that Pop has even changed the usually etched-in-stone starting lineup to let DJB in.

[SenorSpur]

As good as Blair is now, he's going to be even better next season. I just hope Pop doesn't give hm the "George Hill treatment" this year.

[TIMMYD!]

Yeah, he could average about 10 and 7 next season unless Pop finds a way to fuck it up.

[Pero]

Yeah, he could average about 10 and 7 next season unless Pop finds a way to fuck it up.

I think he could avarage that this season already.

[mookie2001]

Yeah, he could average about 10 and 7 next season unless Pop finds a way to fuck it up.
Bold prediction

[pjjrfan]

He would be more of a factor if the refs let him play.

He would be more of a factor if the refs let him play.


psssst...so would every big man

[exstatic]

He would be more of a factor if the refs let him play.

Part of it's the rookie treatment, part of it's dumb fouls that he needs to cut down in any case. He's got really quick hands and long arms, but on the perimeter, they're going to call reach-in fouls every time. He can get away with it in the paint though, when he gets a few years of experience. Karl Malone made a living off those pokes and slap-downs on defense.

[howbouthemspurs]

He could be the next charles barkley!!! Yeah I said it!

[santymrc]

He could be the next charles barkley!!! Yeah I said it!

OMG Thats a big COULD :toast

Hes getting better, and better. And plays better D than the Rocket.
I hope he continues to develop into the force that many of us are w8ing. Got to improve his FT's couse if not, hes gonna get fouled a lot to avoid dunks and layups.
