And lastly, I dont believe Blair will avg 12 and 12 for the spurs this year, I do think on many teams he could. Blair dominated the paint last year just as Larry Johnson did at UNLV. Blair destroyed the second overall pick twice last year. His rebounding rate translates to a guy averaging 18rpg in the pros. He is a beast that many teams wanted to take but have a policy against taking red med flagged players at any spot in the draft!!!
Make sure you sign on this year when he eats Gasols ass in the paint. Do your homework kid, go find video on Blair againt Thabeet and tell me this guy is gonna struggle in the NBA. He was an absolute steal in the second round. Spurs even tried to get into the lottery on draft night to take him. The guy dominated against several teams that over the next year will produce lottery Centers.....Florida St, Louv, GTown and Uconn as well as crushed several big east teams that are know for very good D in the Paint....Xavier, Syc, W Va..ect..
We got a big, who avg 15ppg and 12rpg 1.5steals while shooting 60% from the floor with the 37th pick in the draft
Thabeets numbers-13.6 and 11 while playing 5 more mpg!
:lol:lol:lol
Some of the comparisions you just mentioned are laughable....I played abit of college basketball and even played minutes in the NCAA tourney and full well know the difference between playing great in college compared to the highest level.
Adam Morrison was freaking college player of the year, was a high draft pick and we all know how good of an NBA player he is. wow he averaged 15 and 12..big deal there are plenty of players who averaged that in college that aren't going to do shit in the NBA...bringing up stats isn't going to make your point any stronger.
Blair COULD average 12 and 12? NO HE FREAKING COULDN'T....not even on the worse team in the league.
Blair is going to be soild...there is nothing in his game that suggests he will do anything in this league for at a few years.

Artest is still an ELITE defender...he gives plenty of guys problems on defense. He may not be as quick as he was but he still gives bigger guys nightmares. He is so strong in the post...guys like Lebron, Pierce, Melo are guys who he guards real well which will help L.A in the post season.

Jefferson came into the NBA as a defender and slasher.....the knock on him was he couldnt shoot, which he seems to have improved the last couple years. Jefferson is a guy who keeps to himself, does not beat his chest or anyone else, doesnt make shitty rap albums that no-one buys, nor does he talk as if he is the best player in the NBA when its obvious hes a third wheel.
WTF? what the hell has him being a good guy got to do with how good a player he is? Jefferson is a good scorer who now plays below average defense...he was a good defender but hasn't done shit the last two years guarding anybody.

Artest is a slow witted, slow footed hot head who jacks up way too many shots, cant run the wing on the break, and will have a hard time defending Manu or RJ.
Yeah Artest is not as quick as he used to be but that somehow means he is suddenly not going to still be an elite defender? why will he have a hard time defending Manu or RJ? you act like those two are some kind of unstoppable forces...Artest will give RJ real problems with his length and strength...as for manu lets see how he quick he is anymore given his injury problems

Good luck to you clowns this year, your gonna need it. I do like Laker fans being on our board, but guys like you have less Basketball knowledge than one of my ball hairs, so please stop posting untill you get a clue.
Says the guy who think Blair can average 12 and 12 this year
FREAKING MORON
your whole post about Blair makes you unable to ever call somebody else out for lack of basketball knowledge. You are clearly some 15 year old kid who likely has never picked up a basketball in his life and just lives on his nice little stats.
Re: Lakers Still Hold Edge Over Fortified Spurs
You cannot say Blair is a better player than ANYONE in the NBA for the sole reason that he has not EVEN PLAYED ONE FUCKING MINUTE OF NBA BASKETBALL.
If he was as good as you say he is, he would have been picked up WAY earlier in this incredibly weak draft.

Looks like a die-hard Lakers fan trying to keep his hopes up.
The Spurs cant win w/o a healthy Manu, that's not keeping hopes up. That's making a comment based on the last two years
