Give Blair a shot next game?

[midnightpulp]

He's played well against the Thunder all year and looked good in garbage time, so he's not obviously not too rusty. If there's any game in which Pop could afford to gamble, it's Game 4. Bonner is absolutely fuckin' worthless, so there's really nothing to lose giving Blair his minutes.

[ElNono]

If none of the big 3 show up, it doesn't matter, tbh...

[UZER]

Bonner is useless in the series spacing be damned! He has never showed anything in the playoffs....ever. The thunder are quick enough to close out on him at the 3 point line which makes him even more worthless playing against the Thunder.

Pop will keep Splitter out until 2 min at least to go in the 1st qtr to avoid the intentional fouls. Bonner being the first guy off the bench is really hurting the Spurs. They won games 1 & 2 despite Bonner.

[Fpoonsie]

Yep. It's officially time to let Bonner's white ass warm the bench for a while, and see what Blair can do. Neither one is a focal point of anything SA does, so what's the harm? If Bonner can't ACTUALLY spread the floor ('cause he can't hit a gotDAMN thing from outside), then, at worst, it's a wash.

[Mugen]

no thanks. No major adjustments are needed. Just need to show up tbh.

[Fpoonsie]

Well, that's just it, isn't it? It wouldn't be a MAJOR adjustment since neither player is THAT vital. So why not give him some burn?

[spursfan1000]

Yes because bonner is just useless. Thunder won't really be too worried about bonner until he makes a 3, which he hasn't been able to do.

[midnightpulp]

no thanks. No major adjustments are needed. Just need to show up tbh.

I'd agree with the "if ain't broke, don't fix it" idea if Bonner contributed in any way, shape, or form, but the guy has been a detriment all series. At least Blair can grab a few rebounds and is good for an offensive put back or two.

[KD4MVP]

Hopefully not....

[DontStopBelieving]

Yes please.

[Spurtacus]

Better than Bonner.

[jeebus]

Even if Blair went into the game holding a triple meat cheeseburger, a large cake batter milkshake and a greasy uniform, he'd still be more useful than that cockgobbling red headed faggot who the people in this city blow their load for. The shitstain does his disappearing act every year and people still act shocked and surprised that he isn't playing well. So yes, pretty please play Blair, with a fucking cherry on top.

[cutewizard]

im all for it

body language is an indicator of fearlessness

and Blair's body language was better than some other Spurs players tonight

the kid wants to play,

PLAY HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Venti Quattro]

Blair can probably be motivated by Pop with cheeseburgers or his favorite food. I don't know how he can motivate Bonner to not suck though. Maybe hire some sand nigs to kidnap his family?

Kool-Aid Gun Fight Leads To Two Injuries

Two Detroit teens have been wounded after a gunfight broke out over what eyewitnesses say was an argument over who makes the best Kool-Aid.


The beverage-based battle took place Tuesday night in the city's Brightmoor neighborhood in front of an abandoned school building, according to WJPK-TV. (http://www.myfoxdetroit.com/dpp/news/local/two-shot-in-detroit-after-argument-over-kool-aid)

(http://www.myfoxdetroit.com/dpp/news/local/two-shot-in-detroit-after-argument-over-kool-aid)
"The initial argument, from my understanding, began over Kool-Aid," a witness told reporter Andrea Isom, who confirmed the story with Detroit officers.


The tongue-lashing increased in intensity until two of the men from the conflicting Kool-Aid crews started shooting each other.


However, neither shooter hit their intended mark, according to ImperfectParent.com, (http://www.imperfectparent.com/topics/2012/05/31/two-shot-during-argument-over-kool-aid/) which reported that two innocent bystanders, both 17, were hit by the stray bullets.


One victim was struck in the wrist and the other got a bullet in the rear.
Both victims were taken to local hospitals to be treated for their injuries and both have since been released from the hospital.
Meanwhile, Detroit police are looking for the two shooting suspects, one of whom reportedly left the scene in a purple 2007 Impala.


Although Kool-Aid seems to be one of the least important reasons to fight someone, much less shoot them, arguments over the popular powdered drink are not unprecedented.


Earlier this month, a woman in Pahokee, Fla., was arrested for domestic assault after she had a fight with her brother because someone drank his Kool-Aid, the Palm Beach Post reported. (http://www.palmbeachpost.com/news/crime/glades-police-blotter-pahokee-brother-and-sister-both-2349527.html)

(http://www.palmbeachpost.com/news/crime/glades-police-blotter-pahokee-brother-and-sister-both-2349527.html)
During the argument, the woman threw a vase at her brother, who was sitting on the porch.


The woman later told authorities that her brother was crazy and that he was upset because of the Kool-Aid while the brother said he was tired of his sister's disrespect.

Well, to be fair, half the time, Blair was playing w/ a "nothing to lose" mentality against OKC's starters, while the rest of the time, he was playing against the end of OKC's subpar bench.

Still, fuck it. Sit Bonner's ass.

[tesseractive]

At least Blair can grab a few rebounds and is good for an offensive put back or two.

Along with allowing Ibaka to park his ass in the lane on defense the whole time and pretty much blow the penetrate-and-kick game all to hell.

Uh. Who tha fuck cares about the penetrate and kick game if your kickEE can't hit a fucking shot to save his soulless life???

[The Reckoning]

pop was keeping the blair chained...starving it of action.

now he's gonna unleash the blair. woe to whoever is unfortunate enough to be in its path.

Fair point. Bonner is a whopping 1 for 7 from downtown this series. Ick.

[Sean Cagney]

Hopefully not....

THUNDER FAN says this here, I would then go out and look at it. See POP Thunder fans want you to stay with BONNER, damn him he is shyt.

[100%duncan]

Yes. How can someone be worse than what Bonner has done.

[Stalin]

wonder if bonner knows how much everyone hates him

[Fpoonsie]

Fair point. Bonner is a whopping 1 for 7 from downtown this series. Ick.

It's maddening.

[MR.SILVER&BLack]

Yes. He is at least physical in the paint & his reverse layup kills the thunder.

[smaka]

Put Bonner in a small cage and give Blair a shot.

[midnightpulp]

:tu

Well done, Greggory. A whopping ten minutes and didn't have the sack to keep him in any longer when it was obvious he was making an impact. This was the game which you could've afforded to gamble on him and you blew the opportunity. You had an open-ended straight flush draw and folded your cards like a pussy.

Now what? Game 5 is too important to give meaningful minutes to Blair, who hasn't seen much action in the post-season outside of garbage time.

Sigh.

[LkrFan]

We know what happened the last time y'all started a 6'3" fatass center in the playoffs. Do it Pop! :lol

And since when has scoring garbage buckets meant any damn thing? He's a pro. He's supposed to make them shots. That's considered impact? :rolleyes

Garbage buckets don't mean anything and have zero impact on the game since they come at a time when the outcome has already been decided.

Except Blair got minutes last night during an important stretch in the 3rd when the Spurs made a run to cut the lead to 2, which you would've known if you watched the game.

I would've responded to it if it was at all relevant to the discussion. But since I'm not advocating starting Blair and Oklahoma City is a totally different team from Memphis, there's no point entertaining your nonsense.

Some gay shit. And the fact he tatted his arm with her name shows how pussy whipped he is.

And he'll have the name of the woman who took half his money branded on his arm for the rest of his life. We know he ain't getting it removed or covered up.

Talked about owned.

listen mid...all bullshit aside...nothing is more wrong in the world...I MEAN NOTHING is more flat out wrong than a man with a tattoo over his asshole like Duncan has...NOTHING is worse..Duncan even has one of a clown on his upper back...that shit is going down in history....a tramp stamp and a upper back tattoo of a fucking clown...ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!!!

to add insult to injury he has a tongue ring for fuck's sake...WHY...in the name of all that's decent...tell me FUCKING WHY...

there's just too much shit lining up the way that it shouldn't with your guy :lol

If we accept your premise that Duncan is a homosexual, then you have to live with the fact that a faggot denied the Lakers 2 championships and has more Finals MVPs than your boy Kobe.

Take your pick.

You got a deal :toast

I can easily always explain away the MVP's and as long as it's 5>4 I could care less about how many titles you denied us...but I could never explain Kobe being gay...I would flame out and quit basketball altogether...:lol

So you're a homophobe?

Why would it bother you if Kobe was gay? (which he very may well be since he couldn't climax when he raped and the fact him and Artest forged a bond in, get this, the shower.)

[Goran Dragic]

Tbh, Popovich playing Blair would make a small difference, but the decider of this series is going to be whether or not Parker shows up for the rest of it. The Spurs simply don't have enough other options in the half court if Parker doesn't show up.

:lol PG oriented basketball

I don't fear Homo's thus I'm not a homophobe...:lol try again...I'm all for pretty blond or brunette lesbians only....as long as their young and pretty let them marry..but once they get fat it should be outlawed...:lol

Kobe being gay would be a deal breaker for me...I'd turn in all my Kobe gear...it would be too much to bear...

But now that you accept Duncan as gay (or your equal) :lol I'm happy for you...

Their offense was fine last night despite Parker playing poorly. And yes, I'm a supporter of the "teams built around PGs don't win championships" theory, but the Spurs do have a well rounded offense that can attack opposing teams from practically every position.

I don't think the Spurs did all that much wrong last game (of course there's always room for improvement, but I don't think there's ever been a perfect game played in the history of the sport). Ibaka was 6 for 6 on jumpers from 15 feet and out and Durant did what is required of a top-tier superstar and countered every Spur run with a big basket and a succession of big baskets. If Ibaka shoots 50 percent and Durant shoots 50 percent, the Spurs win the game and we're sitting here this morning talking about how "great" the Spurs looked on the road.

Sometimes, despite what you do, the other team just steps up and takes the game from you by performing beyond expectation.

The Spurs had to go small for long stretches to create spacing and offense. PG oriented teams having to go small to create offense/spacing leads to shitty defense from PG oriented teams. That's why Ibaka and Perkins exploded last night, similar to how random Spurs big men like Oberto and Mohammed would explode against the Suns several years ago. Yeah their offense looked good, but they sacrificed size on defense in order to create it. If they weren't a PG oriented team they wouldn't need to do that.

Yeah their offense looked good, but they sacrificed size on defense in order to create it. If they weren't a PG oriented team they wouldn't need to do that.

The lineup that made the run was Duncan, Blair, Jackson, Manu, and Parker, and even though Blair is short, he plays more like a traditional big than a stretch 4, so the spacing wasn't exactly optimal, but the Spurs were much better defensively (weird, since Blair usually gets abused by opposing bigs, but for whatever reason, he's historically bothered the Thunder) and the offense was still good enough.

The reason I think the Spurs can break the "PG oriented teams don't win championships" trend is that, unlike other past teams built around star point guards, Parker isn't a ball stopper who over dribbles and stagnates the offense. In addition to that, the Spurs don't run too many isolation plays for him, ensuring the offense is more about the whole than any one player.

[midnightpulp]

Another problem is the Spurs don't have the size even to sacrifice, at least in this series, as Splitter hasn't exactly seized the moment.
