I know I'm showing my n00bness, but who was 37? And I actually like 45, even though I'm more of an even numbers, or clone numbers (11, 22, 33) kind of guy. 45 works for Blair cuz those numbers are so damn wide... like him.Blair should change his number to 37, you think Pop would allow that?
And if timvp reads this, he should merge this and all of the boday parts threads to the Blair thread, so it doesn't become BlairTalk.

Blair was picked 37th..but I'm pretty sure the people that want him to change his number want him to do it as a dedication to my own greatness..
LOL, good one...
Maybe eventually. To start the season Pop is going to focus on a Big man rotation that has Tim and Bonner starting, with Dice being the first big off the bench for Bonner, and Theo being the second coming in for Tim.
As the match up may dictate, Pop might toss Haislip against certain player like Odom (which is the whole reason we signed Hailslip). As the season wears on, Theo's minutes may be up for grabs (at least until the playoffs).
Was that Stan Kelly on the PA??
Ok, I get 37 now. And I think Blair will be Tim's replacement (not technically, since he'll be a C). The first 10 games, Tim and Bonner should start, with Dice coming in for Bonner 5-7 minutes into the game, unless Bonner is doing what he does best, raining 3s, and/or the opposing C is ot lighting him up. Then after Dice comes in, and one or both of the opposing bigs is subbed out, then Blair can come in for Timmy and just be a Meast.
Blair Thought Pacers Would Draft Him
Oct 24, 2009 6:55 PM EST
Spurs forward DeJuan Blair expected the Pacers to draft him with the 13th overall pick in June's NBA Draft.
Indiana selected North Carolina forward Tyler Hansbrough with the pick and Blair slipped to San Antonio in the second round.
"DeJuan Blair said he thought the Pacers were going to draft him at No. 13," Mike Wells of the Indianapolis Star wrote on his Twitter page.

Did anyone notice him say Carlos Boozer has done pretty well but Manu has only done OK.
Oh yeah the Celtics lose to the Knicks and who cares but we lose and we're suddenly old and boring again.
Who said that?
What the Lakers did = David Sterning
What the Lakers did = Engineering
What the Spurs did = Opportunistic
Big difference.
What the Spurs did = San Antonio Spurring

37th pick in the draft . . . and also, the number of weeks Michael Jackson's Thriller was #1, according to Ron Artest.Blair should change his number to 37, you think Pop would allow that?

What kind of impact do you think DeJuan Blair will have this season?

First, great Twitter handle. Second, I can't go to one city without hearing something positive about Blair. The New York Times' superb reporter Howard Beck was at the Spurs-Thunder game this week and tweeted that Blair was "the future of rebounding". A columnist for the Austin-American Statesman, after seeing Blair play, called San Antonio's second-round pick "the biggest NBA steal since the Lakers ripped off the Grizzlies for Pau Gasol."
Scouts love his physical play and think that his offensive game -- while raw now -- will develop quickly, especially with Blair under the tutelage of Tim Duncan. Blair is averaging 14.7 points and 8.2 rebounds in the preseason, making the Spurs look like geniuses (again) for locking him up with a four-year, $3.8 million contract. If Blair can be a more offensive-oriented version of Kurt Thomas this season, San Antonio is going to be a very tough out in the playoffs.

Larry Bird and the Pacers brass realized almost too late that Blair's a black guy. Realizing their mistake, they quickly submitted Hansbrough's name instead.
The Spurs were able to use part of their MLE to sign Blair. Contrary to popular belief McDyess' contract was not for the full mid level exeption. The Spurs were able to structure Dice's contract so that there was enough money left to sign Blair to a 4 year deal for more than the rookie minimum.
Who's makes the All rookie 1st team this year?
