[tholdren]

paying for tiago stupid when we could have signed-trade or let walk. trade splitter he is useless against thunder heat pacers

[Johnny RIngo]

Where are these advanced stats you speak of? IIRC, Blair's impact stats are pretty awful.

DeJuan 5.8
Tiago 5.3

Not much diffrence tbh

[Boomersgold]

Tiago has something that Blair doesn't. Post moves. Bigs who only shoot floaters aren't as important to a team as bigs who have height and legitimate post moves.

where are those defensive stats per 36 OP?

blair > ayres
splitter > blair

[itzsoweezee]

Tiago's been a monster on the defensive end. Don't know what you're stats say about that.

Atleast Blair doesn't finish like a damn bitch. And plays even after getting a tiny little bruise. Oh yeah and actually catches the ball, unlike that other little hand bum (Not talking about Ayres)

No homer will reply to this man. Lmao when Aldridge, Ibaka, and West torched this bum

[mute]

I would ABUSE players like 6'3" wade LOLOL. literally, i would abuse them downlow. how can u be gifted with such length and height and be a bitch in the post

The Spurs didn't put put Blair on Aldridge and Ibaka you damn clown.

Talking about splitter dumbass. Comprende?

Aldridge was guarded by TD.

[ElNono]

Tiago was paid market value, and considering how difficult it is for small market teams to retain solid talent in this league, it was just the price to pay. Since Tiago has been an integral part of the rotation this team reached the WCF and NBA Finals, big improvements over the seasons prior. He still has his weak spots, especially on offense, but he's without a doubt a much better and complete player than Blair will likely ever be. That's no knock on DeJuan, he's highly spirited, but unfortunately very limited on the defensive end.

[TheGreatYacht]

Aldridge was guarded by TD.

WHAT?! Pop always puts Splitter on shooting big men. Diaw did a better job.

Diaw has better D, O, can guard 2-5's, won't airball his hooks, and can space the floor

LMFAO look at his face...looks like he has a 'touch of the downs'

Hahahhaahab

[hater]

and no amount of statistics will negate the fact that Blair is a damn scrub and 4th big off any bench in the league at best

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Blair's not going to stop anyone taller than 6'6".

[Cry Havoc]

Blair just gets eviscerated in the post-season when teams have multiple games to break down film and every possession is important. They would go right at him every time and he's repeatedly shown that's he's incapable of guarding anyone with size.

Meanwhile, Tiago is an excellent defender, and even though he's been hurt this season, when he is on the floor this team is very stout defensively.

and unfortunately the exact same can be said about Bonner

[Cry Havoc]

Bonner is currently our 3rd big off the bench, after Diaw and Ayres. It's not a big deal that he's weak defensively. Blair started for us. That's a huge difference.

DUMB.blair never played playoff basketball. keep saying same homer trash, tiago blows in playoffs. see finals...WORTHLESS. didn't need signed period

I bet that seemed so much more controversial in your mind than it appears here. Must be a huge letdown.

He played in 36 playoff games for us in the playoffs. Averaged 3.8 points per game, and <3 rebounds per. Got anything else, or would you like to bow out of this discussion after making it plainly obvious that you haven't follows Spurs basketball?

[Texas_Ranger]

All I know is that Blair is a GOD compared to Errors.

[Jwash_1986]

DeJuan 5.8
Tiago 5.3

Not much diffrence tbh

Much difrence contract wise and that's what matters at the end of the day. You pay 36m for a more productive player then a 1m player. Correct your boy if I'm wrong? Simple mathematics mane.

Market Value, If Spurs didnt pay'em that someone else would. Spurs woulda lost a big man!

[Spur|n|Austin]

So what OP is saying is that Blair > Splitter? :lol

[Jwash_1986]

So what OP is saying is that Blair > Splitter? :lol
Maybe not Blair but Robin Lopez was available and Blatche. I don't know why motherfuckas be in his jock so hard. Dude soft as toilet tissue mane. I give it to him he does well in certain areas but he ain't worth the money. The dude getting paid Duncan money. But I'm not going to argue it debate te shit because he isn't going anywhere so I just get use to it.

Blair played 8 min a game... So those are pretty good numbers for 8 min

[tholdren]

Ps Blair avg 8 mpg in playoffs tiago 17 mpg and 3rpg... Fucking shitty
Blair avg same in less than half the minutes

[Cry Havoc]

DUMB.blair never played playoff basketball


Ps Blair avg 8 mpg in playoffs

:lmao

You can't make this stuff up.

[Obstructed_View]

Opposing front lines get season high numbers against Dirk and Blair. Advanced stats don't make up for that.

[ducks]

people splitter does a lot that does not show up on stat stats

[FireMicoHalili]

I hope you get warped to an alternate universe where Blair is your starting C/PF while Nowitzki and Aldridge keep shooting jumpers over you

[spurraider21]

the difference is you can put tiago in the game and not implode defensively

[senorglory]

Atleast Blair doesn't finish like a damn bitch.

out of control spin move, blocked about a foot from the rim. out of control spin move, blocked about a foot from the rim. open path, jump too soon, stuffed by the rim. out of control spin move, blocked about a foot from the rim. repeat.

[Biernutz]

the difference is you can put tiago in the game and not implode defensively

And Tiago does not get 3 fouls in the first 3 minutes he comes in a game. Blair is a foul machine.

[Texas_Ranger]

Splitter is way better than Blair for the Spurs, but he still aint worth the money he's getting
