The more I think about it, the more I realize that we should keep Blair on the Bench. It wouldn't be smart at all to automatically throw him in the Starting Lineup and against the great bigs in the League. McDyess is a smart veteran who will do well with Duncan, and Blair will provide great energy off the Bench along with Ginobili and Hill.
Yeah, McDyess should start and Blair should come off the Bench, no doubt about it.
I am liking the thought of Mahinmi and Blair together. Their teamwork down low has been really impressing me.
Timmy is is verstile. He can hit from the outside and let Blair grab rebounds. He can man the post and let Big Mac hit the mid-range jumper. Both models work.
Well, it is insane since that lineup has 6 players :downspin:Quote:

There's no way to even guess until we see Blair in some real games. In theory, I'd love to pair him with Duncan as starters and just dominate the boards, while pairing McDyess with Manu off the bench for a 1-2 punch. But this is all unfortunately way premature.
Anyone who thinks Blair should start is retarded. Im all for being optimistic about Blair, but wanting him to start and labeling him a future star before he even plays a regular season game is becoming annoying. A bunch of you are overrating him way too much.
agree...just look at the contract he signed...if there where signs of him beeing the next coming of *insert multiple all star powerforward*, he would have aked for more and the Spurs would have paid it!Quote:

furthermore he should be labled "prospect" coz if things go well, he might become that inserted multiple power forward.
I'm also excited about Blair, just not as optimistic, as everyone else here!
Id like this idea but what if Blair can't guard the big men like Gasol and Bynum who start for the Lakers, Rasheed and Garnett who start for Celtics, I would much rather have Mcdyees start for defensive purposes.Itd be nice to see Manu and Blair come off the bench together also.
I guess on a rebuilding team this would be a fantastic idea. But since were playing for a championship, we have to be more cautious.
