Spurs starters: Parker, Ginobili, Jefferson, Duncan, Blair. Pop won't say it, but guessing that will be season-opening starting 5 as well.

If you have to play Blair and Jefferson, then I guess it's best to try and hide them on the court with the big three.

To be fair, Scola is only 6'9 and he's not posting up/looking to score in the paint.

If Lawal is 1-4, why on the game blog did he seems to throw it down AND use the glass like Timmeh? I'm guessing there was no money in the bank.

The problem with Blair's defense besides his height is he is often in poor position when defending in the post.

Yeah but unfortunately Ford is most likely going to be Parker's backup all year. He's another one of those vets that Pop likes to play over more talented younger players.

Is Blair too heavy to dunk? There have been a couple of instances on the break and pick n roll were he couldve thrown it down tbh.


Keith Bogans to Malik Hairston


:lmao

Hairston was a scrub. Might as well add Mahinmi while your at it though, since Pop not giving him and Hairston minutes was the Spurs downfall two years ago according to Spurstalk.

Would you have preferred playing Bogans over Hairston? I never said Hairston was a difference maker, but compared to Bogans shitty offense and overrated D, give me Malik.

Malik was a scrub. He looked awkward on offense, with no shot and terrible handles. Defensively he was nothing special, people simply assumed he was a good defender because of his athleticism. Bogans was atleast an NBA player, a lower-level one but still one...Hairston wasnt even that.
