He needs a steady J. Or maybe Tim can teach him his patented banker.
He will get his time with the final rotations are final.I think its just a matter of seeing what we have first and what will go together.

Yet another fabulous Fabbs fact fail.
Finley did not start in either of the Dallas games.
Of course, any mention of Finley's minutes is entirely irrelevant to any informed discussion of Blair's current or future role on the Spurs.
Which is why I mentioned Ratliff's situation.
I don't know how much you watched the spurs prior to 2008 but Bonner didn't produce before last year when he was given the starting role. And idk how much you get on ST, but there was certainly a shared concern that Bonner was not good enough to be a starter while not having the confidence necessary for his game to survive being moved to the bench.
I don't know if you've been reading long, but when terms such as "some Spurs fans" are used it is the author's intention to put distance between him/herself and the subject. As such, opinion's expressed in the name of that subject should not be attributed to the speaker.
Maybe he should try banking in his free throws?
Yes, Finley didn't start, he only came in after 7 minutes and played 33 minutes.
That changes everything.
You're like the pinhead liarwyars that say yes OJ had a mask and gun in his White Ford Bronco but because the evidence report failed to dot the i over "White" lets toss out the whole thing.
not meritorious of a response.Of course, any mention of Finley's minutes is entirely irrelevant to any informed discussion of Blair's current or future role on the Spurs.
So your facts were wrong yet again.
More like not capable
Um..I think we've been actually agreeing on the same thing without realizing it...
Opinions are so hard go gauge in type form.
Because Blair was not blessed with great height, he needs to take advantage of his strengths. He's already blessed with natural, raw strength, good hands and a knack for rebounding. I believe Blair needs more weight room work to make himself stronger so that he can literally overwhelm opponents with that physical strength.
Offensively, he's already got a nice touch around the basket, but he could stand to develop a couple of "go-to" moves, along with some hard pump-fakes, that should enable him to create enough space to get his shot off. Because he is chocked full of that "get after it", kind of desire, he will draw his share of fouls, simply because of the way he pounds the glass. Therefore, he needs to improve his FT shooting. A summer with Chip should take care of that.
The Spurs are really fortunate to have had Blair land in their laps. Whether he plays 2 years or 12 years, he brings a set of skills that can really help this team - if they're willing to develop him. Since most young players make their biggest developmental leap from year 1 to year 2, expect bigger and better things from him next season.
Whatever initial confidence he seemed to have is gone. He's caught in a negative feedback loop for sure. He doesn't possess the same energy and positive emotion he did earlier. He should always be able to rebound but he can't even do that right now. Hopefully things will start to click for him. I still believe we need for him to be productive for us to do something this year. I'm not expecting Ratliff to always be healthy or productive.
