I'd go further and say that he's actually looking very good one-on-one - he's learned to use his bulk without fouling, and just keep his arms straight up. He's really put Kaman off.

Grizzly is a super-quick learner.

He's much better than the 1st preseason game

If they keep this up maybe Hairston will get to see the court for more than a few seconds tonight.

Looks like they are leaving Manu wide open on the threes.

And to everyone saying Manu is back...

Please knock on wood with me...

The Clipper defense in the perimeter sucks and Manu is making them pay.

I think it's utter disdain for the Lakers that makes the Clips announcers like us so much.

I guess putting in work with Duncan/Dice/Theo is good for the young Jedi Blair. What large strides he has made in such short time. Definitely surprised me so far. I hope this is sustainable defensive skill from Blair.

Ricky Davis should be benched by Dunleavy. He is over there arguing with the ref instead of trying to deny Blair. Blair got the rebound, missed, got the rebound, and made it.....all while Davis was bitching about Blair.

This game has been all about depth for us. We have so many weapons now. Drastically upgraded from the Kurt Thomas/Ime Udoka/Jacque Vaughn version of the spurs, and no I'm not just saying that because we're playing the Clipps... It's only a matter of time before our team starts taking advantage of having 2 or 3 or 4 more impact players than last season.

For sure. Very surprised.

Al Thornton is still a chucker.

For some reason Bonner absolutely cannot defend Thornton. Thornton has like 10% of his career points against Bonner in isos.

(insert that pic of the little kid praying with the dog)

Manu is all over the place. Great block.

Blair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love the Grizz!

Bogans with the nice dribble drive and dish.

Man, Blair is just amazing sometimes.

Blair is wrecking the Clips on the inside.

Blair is growing up fast.

55-32 Spurs.

Bogans to Blair for the finish.
