Is it time to unleash the ....

GRIZZLY BLAIR!!!!

They need some athleticism in that front court, well he's not that athletic, but for his height and stature he is..... Blair has been waiting patiently... i know one thing, he'll have alot of energy and much to prove if the steps on that court tonight. he had a great game against the thunder in the regular season, maybe he can re create that performance or at least be an X factor on the way OKC has made adjustments...What do yall think?
I know its starts with Tony, TIM and Manu, who will have to bounce back with a strong performance, but I think Dejuan can add some nice playing time, he's fresh right now, and prove dividend. Just Saying!

agreed

[Ditty]

I think they will stick with the original rotation unless Bonner is playing horrible in the 1st half, then I think he will put Blair out there, the same for Green I wouldn't be shined if Green doesn't get rolling that Anderson may replace him in the rotation, but I hope the big 3 each still get close to 40 minutes tonight.

[Paranoid Pop]

No.

[ThePop]

Over Bonner, sure.

What has Bonner done this entire series?

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

pass

[InRareForm]

Trial Run him for a limited amount then see what happens.

[spurraider21]

I'm all for the dancing bear. Have him sit in front of fisher/Thabo on defense where he won't have to do much, then let him punish them in the paint

[smrattler]

I think the minutes at that position should be given as the performance dictates.

Start either Boris or Blair, and if the starter does jack, throw the other one in just to see if they can produce better. I bet if you sit both and tell them that's how it will work, BOTH will bust their ass trying to make a positive impression on the game.

Diaw didn't really stand out last game but he never really got a chance. If they're going to insist on getting the ball out of Parker's hand the Spurs have to play through him more like they did against the Clippers.

[BatManu20]

He can't be any worse than Matt "I Suck Ass at Basketball" Bonner

[mercos]

Blair has had his moments against the Thunder, but I would not play him outside of garbage times in the Conference Finals. Of course, I wouldn't play Bonner either at this point. I'd run Diaw a little longer in his initial runs. Tiago should be the first (and only) big off the bench at this point. OKC has nothing inside, and they are playing small quite often. The Spurs have the weapons to match and even surpass OKC in terms of small ball. I am very confident in a rotation that involves either Leonard or Jackson at the 4.

[DJB]

I'm not opposed.

[JRHernandez88]

Historically he's been great in OKC. I don't see why not, give him a shot.

[smrattler]

Doesnt matter... looks like Pop is sticking with Bonner again tonight.

[PublicOption]

If blair doesn't play I will give up on the team now. Fuck you Pop.

[urunobili]

can't believe that at least he's not given the chance to bang some...

[Danny.Zhu]

At least put him in before red rockets.

[slick'81]

no come on guys if the last few years have taught us anything its that bonner will eventually come thru.I mean hes great in the regualr season i mean he tries so hard

[slick'81]

[cd98]

Give him two meaningful minutes and see what happens. Could he be worse than Ginger and Splitter?

[venitian navigator]

I understand Pop's stubborness 'cause his record speaks for him, but that's getting ridicolous...
Blair has been one of the main reasons we beat OKS in the reg season for two times in a row.
For some reason he's been a very good match up against them...something that the red rocket obvioulsy is not (not enogh athletic for them).
On defense we're just playing bad...but at least on the offensive end Blair should have been useful.
Imho It's weird we didn't prepared some the games with at least some minutes for the beast...

[cd98]

Let him go in with Manu. He won't drop passes.

[ace3g]

I think Blair has carved his spot into the rotation, "finally got over himself"

[antgomez2009]

He needs to be out there!! At least give him 15 mins next game see what he can do..he's fresh, hasnt really played all playoffs...

[Spur|n|Austin]

The game changed in favor of the Spurs when Pop finally decided to give in and play DB. Series shifting back to SA, keep your heads up fellow Spurs fans, home court is huge right now.
