Uh, they'd have been calling fouls on Ian against Dirk across the court. He would last 6 minutes, tops, 1 minute per foul.
he has size and athleticism...if anything he will get us rebounds and blocked shots.

this is where you ask yourself why in the world Mahinmi wasn't given playing time in this season. it should've been anticipated that Bonner would be useless in the playoffs. a refined Mahinmi, in tune with what he can and can't get away with defensively, could have helped this Spurs in this series. his athleticism and length are things that in tandem with a feel for the game - that could have come with more pt ala Blair - could have been valuable.
Pop threw his eggs in one basket, the Bonner basket; and never bothered to give Mahinmi a chance. so now that he finds out Bonner can't guard him, plus the fact that he can't hit a three - i could have told you that he'd choke - and what does he do? he throws Bogans on him. Bogans! that's right, mother in' Bogans!
pop a defensive genius? yeah, lmao. that word gets thrown around way to casually. Pop is an average coach that has been blessed with great players that made him look like a genius.
I'd rather see Blair get more than 8 minutes!!!!
Give me Ian and Blair at the same time.......with Temple, Manu, and Hill
lol yes, fix the foul problems by pulling on Ian "Foul Machine" Mahinmi on Dirk "I get fouled a lot" Nowitski
He'd be a better option than Matt "0 IQ" Bonner
re-signing Ian >>>>>>> playing Ian
No, he wouldn't.
Matt played high-IQ defense. Dirk just shot over him.
some people see what they want to see, they aren't worth your time...
Maybe, but the playoffs aren't a time to experiment. Sure you adjust, but maybe if he had played more in the regular season
im not experimenting and im not putting Ian on Dirk. I am putting Ian on Dampier and Haywood.
i don't know why people are hating on Matt Bonner. yes, he sucks. but it's not his fault he's out there.
Too late now. When I was ing at Pop to play that kid 4 months ago? That was the time. Now it's just sink with the ship you chose to ride on time.
Ian is SOFT. Just like every Spurs big.
Spurs fans needs to forget about soft Ian. Seriously. Year after year and the fixation remains.
Please.
If Ian got in the game Dirk would go off, and shoot like 86% and go to the line a dozen times.
I'm the first to admit that the Spurs need rebounds in this series, but Ian isn't the answer. The Spurs are going to have a hard enough time keeping the mavs off the free throw line as it is.
Ian can't play, all those bs calls given to other people last night were for Ian fouling from the bench.
Exactly. Do folks really think Ian is going to contribute enough with in the short window he will have before fouling-out to displace the 12 points he will almost certainly gift the Mavs?
Ian would have fouled out in the first 3 minutes.
That being said, I still would not mind seeing a little of Ian. Size and quickness, , let him guard Dirk for a few possessions.
Becaaaaaaause, THEY'VE been our matchup problem?
Ian on Dirk is the last thing I want to see. If Ian somehow does find his way on to the court during meaningful minutes he damn sure better be guarding Dampier or Haywood.
I don't care who they put on Dirk, he will make a lot of shots. What I want is rebounds, and I like what I've seen from Ian/Blair in terms of not giving a who is near the basket when they got to get the ball.
I don't know anything, but is it really too much to ask that Timmy take Dirk and Ian/Blair hide under the basket to grab his missed shots as Manu/TP/Hill/Hairston/Temple scramble down the floor to punch a couple points in? Am I being delusional?
Bonner on Dirk is even worse.
Disagree. And that doesn't mean I like the idea of Bonner on Dirk. Ian on Dirk is pretty much a guaranteed trip to the free throw line.
