I think he'll start but not play 30 mpg. Probably closer to 25. They will try to get Blair 20 mpg and Bonner will get his fair share of minutes on the frontline too. (And Mahinmi, if he ever really plays.)
I always assumed the Dyce would start, I don't know why it is coming as such a surprise revelation from this article. I think the breakdown in minutes at center will probably be something like this:
McDyess (start) 26mins per.
Bonner 12mins per.
Duncan 7mins per.
Ratliff/Mahinmi 3mins per.
Something roughly like that will be our C rotation. I don't like Bonner playing that much, I just think it's what will happen. Before some people go nuts, Duncan will get his other 26mins from the PF position. PF will probably be something like this:
Duncan (start) 26mins per.
Blair 17mins per.
Haislip 5mins per.
I don't get why everyone gets so mad a tlong for his last comment? Sure, he says his fair share of homer/inflammatory comments, but this one is not far fetched.
Lakers win their division with the best record in the West
Denver or Portland wins their division
Dallas and/or NO have a better record than the Spurs and one of them wins the division
This is not a far fetched scenario and if that happens, the Spurs could easily wind up the 4th or 5th seed.
Haha that was funny how they quote-owned him.
The Spurs fan/homer logic is that the Spurs tied for the 2nd best record in the West last year, even with all the injuries. Now with the new additions and a healthy Manu, they should challenge the Lakers for the #1 spot.
I think it's somewhere in between. I'll predict the Lakers winning 61 games, the Spurs 58, and Dallas as the #3 seed with 56 wins.
I agree, and I think that we're going to see Manu's minutes micro-managed. He's just to fragile to start and play for extended periods. He needs to come in, go ape for 6 minutes or so and then sit his ass down before he blows out an ankle.
True, but you have to keep in mind a few things:
Yes, the Spurs did well despite the injuries, but their record was over inflated imo. They won a lot of games in the last few moments and that does not normally happen.
Also, even though the Spurs tied for the second best record, it was a 3 way tie. Plus there was another team within 1 game of those 3.
I don't care where the Spurs finish (the higher the better usually). As long as they are healthy and relatively fresh, I will be happy.
Yeah, me too, Im looking forward seeing him play.
Ginobili wont start, thats not a good option for the spurs

If the Lakers win 61 games I guarantee that the Blazers will have the best record in the Western Conference. Portland will win 62-64.
If Blair is playing 20 mins per game he won't last past the All Star break.
lmao
blair>oden
How dumb is this statement?
Perhaps turning over the entire roster would have been a better course?
Blazer fans know a thing or two about draft picks not making it past the All Star Break.
At least you admit I'm an authority on the subject!
S owhen did Ime Bounce, not that it really matters he never did much here anyways. Way to inconsistant. That brings me to Bonner where does he fit in all this? are we already benching him and making him the 3rd stringer or do we put him in a 2nd string....
It's unfortunate that the Blazers picked 2 C's - Bowie and Oden - that didn't/haven't lived up to the hype.
How much fun would it be to watch the Blazers if they had picked Durant instead of Oden? Just not enough ball to go around though.
Touche.
How's Glass Oden looking for this year? Will he get in 41 games at least?
That has to be stupidest thing I've read today.
Oh, wait...
Nevermind...

Apparently I won a flag.
