Dejuan Blair finding rhythm?

[Halberto]

16 and 12 tonight making clutch shots and rebounds.

Also, 3 double-doubles in the past 6 games.

If he can keep this pace all season long.... watch out.


Everything seems to be going right for us so far. I haven't been this excited for our team in years.

[ducks]

forgot abuot his 4 steals

[spurspokesman]

Same old thing here on spurstalk. Love em when he is up. Trade em when he is down. Blair and hill are going to be huge for the spurs future. Big east baby. Represent Dejuan.

[Spurs Brazil]

Blair is finally looking comfortable there. It took a little more time than Hill but I'm glad he's back

[Nathan89]

Warriors, Warriors, and Hawks. All small.

Maybe he can build his confidence and play better against bigger teams.

[Dice]

He looked great tonight. His defense is improving in the post and that's probably the biggest knock on his game. He keeps this up and how dangerous is this team come playoff time?

[Spurs Brazil]

Warriors, Warriors, and Hawks. All small.

Hawks is not small

[Interrohater]

I think he screwed himself up this offseason by trying to extend his range and implementing that tony parker floater. it looks like he's back to his beasting ways and discarded all of that junk. if he wants to add something, he should look to add a hookshot

[the crimson blur]

Hawks are one of the biggest teams in the league...

[LeCrab]

rofl @ hawks being small ....

[spurs1990]

I think Blair has it in him to be a focal point.

He had a game last season with 28 points and 22 rebounds, and that was against a team that took the Lakers to 6 games in the playoffs.

[justinandimcool]

The Hawks are fucking towers :lol

doesn't invalidate my point. it doesn't matter who said what, just that it seems the extended range experiment was the problem. he belongs near the basket

[peskypesky]

the Bear is starting to prove himself. puts a smile on my face!

[TimmehC]

The Hawks made the Spurs look like midgets, tbh.

[HarlemHeat37]

I still prefer him as a bench player, but it does look like he's finally adjusting to his role, instead of trying to be something that he isn't(trying too much to create off the dribble)..

I don't like him as a starter, because he has way too many mental and defensive lapses, but he's currently the best option to start(Splitter isn't ready, Bonner isn't ideal and McDyess seems to prefer coming off the bench), so I don't mind it that much, since Pop doesn't hesitate to pull him when he's struggling(unlike Bonner)..

[Nathan89]

The only big with with talent was Al Horford tonight.

Pachulia out.
Collins sucks. Didn't guard blair.
Marvin Williams small.
Powell small.
Josh Smith small.

I guess Blair was bully some true bigs tonight. LoL at people thinking the Hawks bigs are big and play big.

[Borosai]

The Hawks are considered big because of the size of their guards and small forwards. The guys Blair was playing against aren't that big (6'9-6'10). So yeah, as far as Blair is concerned, the Hawks play a smaller frontcourt.

[HarlemHeat37]

The Hawks are long and athletic, but they are one of the worst teams in the NBA at defending the paint, to be fair..with that being said, obviously Blair is improving and deserves a lot of credit..

This team potentially has a pretty crazy amount of weapons..

[The Truth #6]

COS hemming and hawing, afraid to back away from the altar of the Brazilian Jesus. Nothing wrong with liking both players - no need to put Blair down as a way to inflate Splitter. I still can't believe all the numbnuts on this site who wanted to trade Blair without giving him a chance, while we're on a franchise best start.

Blair earned more minutes last year. He's getting them this year. The same will happen for Splitter next year, but if it happens later this year then that's great also.

[biskvito]

People said Splitter was a key piece to beat the Lakers, or something like that. I'm not getting this vibe from Pop, though. It'll be interesting to watch how Spurs adapt to each team.

[DMC]

Let's call it like it is: Sure DeJuan had some points and some rebounds, but he also made a few boneheaded moves. Sure he got some putbacks and made a couple good power moves, but he also missed several easy chip shots at the rim. Sure he got a few and-1s but he bricked a few freethrows.

I like DB, and have since I first saw him play, but he's got a lot of room for improvement. Tonight there were windows when the Spurs played around him, and overcame his mishaps as if he was just a body on the floor they had to contend with. After he gave up that save to Atlanta for an easy look, he turned on the gas and got a bit energized. That's the Dejuan we need to see at the beginning of the game.

I think Pop and the coaches have worked with him to the point where his effectiveness has dropped because his old habits that made him effective are dying, but then he will hit a higher peak when his fundamentals become second nature.

I do think some of his shots tonight were rushed, but he's finding his rhythm, and it's good to see him do well against a >.500 club.

It's not like some other players that you know are playing at their dead level best. You know, just know that DB is a beast waiting for his moment to break out. Like Sean says, he's a man among boys out there (some of you don't get all excited) and he pretty much gets his hands on every rebound and affects the break.

As a side note, how about Matty's defense lately and those offensive boards? I thought Matty was huge in that regard tonight.

[mystargtr34]

Its really good to see this improvement from Blair... but i still would prefer him coming off the bench. He has too many deficiencies to be a starting bigman if you want to win a championship. Plus the Spurs two biggest roadblocks to the Finals are the Lakers and Mavs... both who provide matchup nightmares for Blair if he were to start.

Playing great though.

I feel you on this one because Dejuan Blair lacks the defensive presence of a traditional PF and sucked it up early in the year. BUT, I still think Pop made the right move by putting him in the starting line up and developing him. At least were not starting Bonner right? :wow

I never said he sucks. My point is that he hasn't proven anything yet. Just performing against the small teams. Lets see if he can continue with this play against other teams with tall/physical bigs.

The other guys with four rebounds do not continuously take rebounds away from their teammates. Among other things that factor into statistical differences between the bigs because Timmy is still a much better rebounder than 6'5 grizzly.

[Roger Freemason Jr.]

If you cannot see the roughness around the edges of Blair's game, you should just keep reading the box score and shut the fuck up.

You gotta be blind to not see the roughness, but that doesn't mean he isn't an all around useful player. Blair makes up with power, what he lacks in size. He is aggressive and his D is great. He's been stealing the ball every chance he gets, and the Blair we're seeing right now, isn't yet the Blair who contributed like last year, but he's rapidly getting back to that point, and will surpass it greatly this season. Don't you worry, Blair is the bomb.

[mingus]

If you actually watch what he's doing though instead of saying "they're small" and oversimplifying things, you would notice he's making improvements/adjustments in his game that will translate against bigger frontcourts.. That move he had on horford where he used his body to create space is one of those things. He wasn't doing that before.

[jermaine]

16 and 12 tonight making clutch shots and rebounds.

Also, 3 double-doubles in the past 6 games.

If he can keep this pace all season long.... watch out.

Its because of the big booty white gul that he bonning! That one with his number painted on her body. :toast

[Cessation]

lol blair homers taking the truth for hating, no denying blair was licking the chode at start of season, and only had about 3 good games, all vs weak frontlines

but last 5 games hes been looking much better, his play against the hawks was real impressive, sure he made some dumb plays, but he played threw them and put timmy on the bench in crunch time, which is saying something

hopefully the confidence he gained, will translate against the top west teams, and if blair can pull his weight in the playoffs, our chances at a title increase greatly

I guess Blair was bully some true bigs tonight. LoL at people thinking the Hawks bigs are big and play big.

So the fact that Horford guarded Blair and Blair still scored and rebounded well against him still going to be a knock against Blair? Open your eyes, Blair had a good game against a big front line. And just to show that they are big. Horford is listed at 6'10, Collins 7'0, Williams 6'9, Powell 6'9, and Smith 6'9.

These guys aren't the Lakers or C's but they are a big line and they are a talented front line, and most of all they are a excellent barometer for how good Blair is getting.

For every bone headed play Blair did he make two good plays to make up for it. Case in point the inbounds pass to Bibby. Right after he was like a man possessed with two straight buckets, getting to the line, and good rebound.


Its really good to see this improvement from Blair... but i still would prefer him coming off the bench. He has too many deficiencies to be a starting bigman if you want to win a championship.

I would prefer Duncan and Dice were getting fewer minutes, this is all that matters. When will some of you realize, these games are good and all but the two goals that matter are staying healthy, and monitoring the minutes of Duncan, Manu and all the rest of our over 30 guys.

you keep saying the Hawks are small, please point out what teams are big compared to them. I get that the Lakers and C's are bigger, but really how many other teams are bigger? This is not a small team no matter how you call it. Their front line is talented and big. I would love to have either Horford or Smith. Olajuwon was 6'10, I guess he was also small. I have never seen a better big man in all my days of watching basketball (1975 first ABA basketball game I attended).

Blair did well last night, he gave the Spurs everything they needed. For what we are paying him, we got a hell of a deal.

[Cessation]

I'd call hawks a medium sized front line.

[bigbendbruisebrother]

Warriors, Warriors, and Hawks. All small.

The Hawks are huge and physical, which makes DeJuan's performance even sweeter.

Stats don't indicate the quality of the game. Even rookies know that. If every single event was recorded, perhaps stats would indicate the quality of the game, but picks aren't recorded, screens aren't recorded, fast break points aren't in the box score, no one records a "good" foul... ad nauseum. Likewise, being out of position on defense isn't in the stats, nor is a missed connection that results in a turnover for someone else on the team, or a missed rotation or just flat out being lost on the floor. Those things aren't recorded in stats, but you see them if you aren't watching the ball all the time.

Spurs’ Blair aims to reclaim identity (http://blog.mysanantonio.com/spursnation/2010/12/11/spurs%e2%80%99-blair-aims-to-reclaim-identity/)
Jeff McDonald

...After earning All-Rookie recognition as a rebounder and put-back artist last season, Blair spent the summer honing other skills. He worked on developing some post moves. He added a mid-range jumper. He rebuilt his free-throw stroke.

When the regular season began, Blair — the shortest regular starting center in the NBA at 6-foot-7 — seemed intent on unleashing all of it at once. The results were not good.

“I was trying to do too much,” Blair said...

He's still improving his game and learning the Spurs. He's shooting free throws much better than last year. He steals the ball more than twice of last year. His foul/minute ratio is better than las year. And he's playing for 1M this year. Why aren't you happy? What do you want?

This is actually a good series of questions.

Dejuan is much improved over last season. However, I don't get all creamy when I see a good stat line. You have to see the game, watch the finer points of the person's play. DB has a knack for finding the ball, that's known already. He has improved his FT shooting (though he does rush that second one as he's anticipating getting back on defense it seems) and he's getting some minutes. He's not trade bait, that's for sure.

I used to critique Tim in the same way. Tim would bring the ball down in the low post and get stripped quite often, and that line drive shot is painful, but over the years you just accept he's worked on it over and over and it is what it is. With Blair, I feel strongly that he can probably be one of the best low post guys in the game, despite his height. I see things he can change, but then so do the Spurs trainers.

I am not here to change Blair, couldn't if I wanted to anyhow. I am here to tell you guys that his stats don't indicate the level of his game EVERY night. If they did, he didn't play so well tonight against the Blazers, but we all saw the game and I personally thought Blair was quite dominant. The stats won't show it though.

It would be refreshing to see some conversation around a player that didn't center on the box score. I suppose that would require someone who doesn't just glance at the score on occasion during the game, or flip over to it during the brief intermission in their video gaming.

Right, so based on Duncan's box score, he sucks and needs lots of work.

Ok, alcohol and posting don't mix.

I don't think its alchohol so much as a rampant George Hill envy.

Seventh double-double in nine games.

Warriors, Warriors, and Hawks. All small.

Maybe he can build his confidence and play better against bigger teams.

Uh he has also dominated games vs. the LAL, Kings, and Denver since the Xmas holiday period all not small teams.
Blair can play against anyone (his reach for his size is incredible and his bulk can bully people around inside) if Duncan is also playing at a high level watch out.
