If you had any balls or dignity you would just STFU and admit that you were wrong....

I don't mind Blair starting against other teams, but when the Spurs play big teams the Spurs need to use Splitter and Diaw like they did tonight.

Agreed about not using Blair against the Lakers, and the Lakers did have 7 offensive rebounds in the 1st quarter last Wednesday. However, the score at the end of the first was 24-21 Lakers; the game wasn't nearly over.

Don't see why Pop should care one hoot about Blair's confidence since he hasn't about Splitter's - leaving him on the bench for pretty much 2 years. On almost any other team, Splitter would be starting and/or playing 30 mins. Only because he's Pop that he gets away with playing an undersized, 6'7" center who sucks at what was once his calling card (rebounding). I cringe everytime he throws up one of his circus shots. That junk ain't going to work come playoff time so bench him as soon as the regular season is over.

It's pathetic what a waste of time and energy it was to invest that much PT (starter for over 2+ years) into a player whose important attributes are all falling steadily and the only thing increasing is his waist size.

All that effort into a player that won't hardly even play the rest of this year (unless Pop flies over the cuckoo's nest) and most likely won't even be on the team next year. :ihit

All that development time that could have been going to Tiago instead got sucked into a black hole faster than a whataburger getting sucked into Blair's stomach. :ihit
