future

[Truckules]

Tony (if he can stay healthy for an extended period of time), GH3, Blair, and Splitter looks like a pretty good nucleus of players for the future.

Could Splitter be the next Paul Gasol? People here say he's soft. They said that bout Paul to. An Blair is Mailk in a new body.

:rolleyes
Thanks for letting us know, we had no idea. It's not like we've been hyping this dude up since the offseason or anything.

Dejuan gives me much hope for the futures.

[Blackjack]

Blair shook Anderson's soul with nothing more than a chickenwing under the bucket; meast. . .

[ElNono]

More points and rebounds than Tim tonight on just 18 mins... One rebound shy of a double double

[easy7]

Blair is raping people out there that are taller than he is and throwing them around like ragdolls.

[HarlemHeat37]

Imagine how scary he's going to be when he learns the tricks..right now he still isn't used to going up against 7 footers, he's going to learn the tricks of going up against them and how to get his shots off easier..

I knew he was going to be good, but I didn't think he was going to be this good so soon..

[exstatic]

dude plays like he's been in the league for years.

That's a good thing, because his career can probably be measured in a 4-5 year time span. Why so short? Those doctors weren't totally wrong. Having no ACLs, both of his knees are less stable than normal. What does that mean? That means over time, his knees are basically wobbling and grinding. Eventually his meniscus will both be shot, and his knees will be bone on bone. The mistake around the league was the GMs not wanting to give him 2 years guaranteed on a first round contract.

[timvp]

Blair tossed around Nene a few times like Nene was Barbosa.

Yeah, Sean Elliott and Hines Ward were both plagued with knee injuries and short careers.

Not necessarily true. Blair had the surgery in high school and was probably already very strong in the leg. After the surgery, as his legs strengthened even more, his quads began to compensate for the wobble. By now, his body has adapted to the intense physical activity and is probably just as stable as anyone else.

Don't count out the human body or spirit. There are people who re-learn to walk after being told by doctors that there's no hope. It's not unfathomable to think that he could have a long and healthy career.

[blizz]

who is paul gasol?

[greyforest]

watching blair beasting is great fun

[Ikstomi]

fuckin' beast

[Old School 44]

Could Splitter be the next Paul Gasol? People here say he's soft. They said that bout Paul to. An Blair is Mailk in a new body.

You don't know who Paul Gasol is? He plays for the Lakers.
He also has a brother, Mark Gasol who plays for Memphis. :lol

Splitz ain't not comin'.

[sendman]

...a fat man.
Fixed!

[mattyc]

If we can keep a hold of Parker, Blair and Hill over the next 5-10 years, we will be okay.

[8FOR!3]

future

He's the right now too after games like that.

[stéphane]

His physicality is an indeniable bright spot in this kinda disapointing season. I really hope his ceiling in terms of consistance and defense is high enough for our spurs future.

[fyatuk]

Uhh, the comments were because the name is Pau not Paul....

[exstatic]

Yeah, Sean Elliott and Hines Ward were both plagued with knee injuries and short careers.

Right, becuase they both weighed 270 lbs and had it in both knees. Oh, wait, no they didn't!.

[TIMMYD!]

I know, right. :lol

Reminds me so much of a young Malik Rose, but potentially even better.

Duh! And his brother's name is Marc, not Mark, get it?

[silverblackfan]

I think the Birdman might be carrying Blairs baby, the way he raped him on that play..

You're gotdamn right he is.

[TampaDude]

Blair is a monster...he was the SOTD, hands down. :hat

[Obstructed_View]

First off, I certainly agree with your take that the mistake teams made was by not being willing to risk a rookie contract on the guy.

On the other hand, Ward played 4 years at Georgia and has currently been in the NFL 12 years, all that time running and cutting and jumping and getting hit and tackled by the biggest, strongest, fastest people in the world and his knee still hasn't broken down.

Elliott played 4 years at Arizona and played 11 years in the NBA as the team's primary defender and a guy known for his leaping ability, and would likely have played longer if not for his kidney problems.

The fact that niether player's knee was a concern in a combined 31 years of competition at the highest levels leaves your characterization completely without any basis in fact.

The average career of an NBA player is five years. It's not surprising that we as fans don't know that fact, but there's really no excuse for all the teams that passed on Blair not to know it.

[Old School 44]

lol paul gasol. But hey, I agree that Dejuan is a bad motherfucker

"Shut yo mouth!"

[Budkin]

Any chance he wins Rookie of the Year or has Brandon Jennings wrapped that up?

[Muser]

Anyone got that lol rookie wall picture?

And Budkin Tyreke Evans has that locked up.

[Obstructed_View]

If he got the minutes he might have a shot, so no.

[Budkin]

Ok yeah forgot about that guy... he's pretty good. :p:

[hater]

DBlair owning the allstarts damn!!!!

[himat]

Brandon Jennings looked like the winner early on but the guy shoots a crappy FG%. I thought I had a big steal when I picked him up 1 day before he scored 55 points.

Blair doesn't have a chance because he doesn't get the minutes. If he can keep improving though he could be in the group of second round steals (Arenas, Redd, Lewis, Boozer, Ginobilil.)

Wow I didn't realize how many all stars came out of the second round. Monta and Okur were second rounders too.

[Cry Havoc]

Maybe he'll get more than 3 minutes per game now.

[DMX7]

Reminds me so much of a young Malik Rose, but potentially even better.

potentially? He's already had a better career than Malik Rose. Pretty sure Malik wasn't a 1st team NCAA All-American as a Sophomore either.

[Budkin]

So much better than Malik at that stage... and so much more potential going forward.
