Grizzly Blair putting on a show. killer instinct right now. love it.
I hate not being able to watch this man play live.
Now Pop will sit him the next three games.
damn. some grizzly putting up a clinic tonite:toast
The last 2 dunks were amazing, he (with Manu's help) froze the D.
Great game for him, hope he gets more minutes in further games.
but, but, but he's too short and has no acls..
Dudes a beast!
dude will take care of duncan's place when duncan retires if he is steal healthy
Ian was going to sub in for him, but Blair shot him a look.
It's times like this that make me wish:
a) I could watch it live
b) NZ Internet was good enough to let me watch on league pass.
Woot... fuckin Blair! Imagine if he and Ian can get going together!
He's the team's best big not named Tim Duncan

Guess not. :lol

10 OFFENSIVE rebounds. Damn skippy.
Pop taunted the Lakers in his face and didn't let him off the leash until tonight.
CIA POP.
"Aint no one gonna give me nuthin in this world, no one gonna give me nuthin in this league no one gonna give me nothin on this team, I have to earn everything and earn respect from the team. I just have to go to work, thats all" - Dejuan Blair FSN Post game interview.
Its official, Blair is a fucking stud.
LOL Rookie Wall...
Looks like Blair just ran right through that rookie wall and knocks the bricks everywhere! Monster game. What the hell are they feeding him?
Great game by the entire team!

I can't remember a time when an entire arena gets so excited to see a rookie foul out! He is just a beast and I am loving every minute of him on the floor.Quote:

What was Elliott saying? I can't figure out how to change the audio feed on LP Broadband.Quote:

Wow Great quote.Quote:

Tonight they allowed his some play early but in the 2nd half they just started calling all these ticky tacky fouls on him, what a disgrace.
Right now, GMs are shitting their pants and they should be.
i love the blair force one nick name i think its the best!!! what a freaking game for dejuan!!!!!, the spurs better not trade this kid, i will be royaly pissed

Pop on Blair.
“I’m going to take what he gave us tonight, and I don’t know how he did it,” said Popovich. “I have no clue what his moves are. He’s just a basketball player. He hustles his (tail) off, he’s got a nose for the ball, he’s got great hands and he does what you saw. We didn’t teach him any of it. He brought it all with him.”
I've been on this for a while. The guy just flat knows how to play in the paint and create space. I'm not sure you CAN teach that. He has great instincts, great hands and a great NBA body. The Spurs got over on EVERYONE in June.Quote:

You could tell from day 1 that DeJuan had "it". You can't teach that.
Just Beastly !
28points and 21 rebounds in 31 minutes ?
wow
:flag:
lmao @ timvp

Which is the attitude a guy like him needs.Quote:

Dammnnn I just read the boxscore, this is awesome, 28 fuckin points!!!
me too man.Quote:

I think the closest Duncan got to those numbers in his rookie season, was against Minnesota, when he had 28 points and 19 rebounds in 36 minutes.

Beautiful performance
I am glad he is a Spurs!
Video highlights?
Optimus Prime! Maximize!http://img247.imageshack.us/img247/638/flightog3.jpg
Blair is slowly approacing the point where he can be considered one of the Spurs greatest late picks, together with Tony and Manu.
I think he's still quite a ways from that, just we still have to see what happens when the rest of the league gets a book on him. But he's definitely going to present nice matchup problems, especially if he starts getting calls down low.Quote:

You can't teach instinct, great hands, and heart.
When was the last time the spurs had a half hispanic, half black guy on the roster? Man, this kid is good.
The closest one was Carl Herrera but he was all hispanic and all black.
amazing performance last night. props to him for being ready and focused after getting almost no burn against LA.
Hey OKC....hows that ass taste???????
