ing Bonner. He brings to this team.
At least Ian brings some shotblocking, rebounding, and massive dunking ability.

The stats don't even show what he did tonight too..
He's going to make mistakes, but his presence was felt whenever he was on the floor tonight..he altered multiple shots, he blocked a shot, he hedged on Brooks all over the perimeter, he was active..
And he doesn't have T-rex arms.
He showed that he is better than Dice as well. It makes no sense that he has not started next to Tim most of this year. Let the kid play and grow. He is going to make mistakes. I would rather see mistakes then out right suckiness by the players we try to play at the 4-5
it would be great to let him grow a little bit. he fouls too much but he'd have a chance to correct that if he could just play through it a little bit....
And we're probably going to resign Bonner in the off-season while Ian finds a team that's going to give him minutes.
God help us all if that happens. I'm throwing up in my own mouth thinking about that. Knowing Pop and his zeal for both corporate knowledge and limited skillsets, I can see it.
Very good take. IT was awsome to see how active they were even when stats don't show all of that.
damn, im gonna watch the replay for this game. when do ian and hairston come in?
The latter part of that was guaranteed before the New Jersey game, and assured afterward. Might as well get whatever help they can from him now.
Ian did a good job of sealing men off and creating driving lanes for Hairston and Jefferson as well.
He couldn't guard Scola, but neither could McD (how many open shots did Antonio give Scola?)...
can becky hammon come to the spurs?
Mid third for Hairston.
Late third for Ian.
Ian actually had some minutes in the 2nd quarter. Which was the first time this season I recall seeing this happen.
Damn right Ian is going to make mistakes. As far as I'm concerned his raw skill, activity and defense should negate those risks.
However, Pop's impatience and short leash when it comes to living with those mistakes is the sort of hypocritical bull causes this team to underachieve. Especially when considering the fact that veteran players make some of the same mistakes, yet have a longer leash.
Why are yall so hype over ian did yall see malik harriston he was makin plays but yea ian > bonner
lol wut
Yeah, how many points did Scola have before and after Mahinmi came in?
Seriously, can anyone figure that out? Surely there's a website somewhere that does it in like three clicks. I have to go through the game log and count.![]()
They both had the same line i believe: 8, 5, 1 bk (hairston might've had 2 blocks i listened on the radio so not sure.)
Because people are sick of small ball, so a big playing well is more important than yet another wing player (spurs are overloaded at wing anyway).
But yes, Hairston was very impressive.
yes, but who needs a center who brings shotblocking, rebounding, interior defense and quickness, when you can have a center who hits one three a game???
Imagine if the lakers would have given up on Bynum because he was a foul machine a year or two ago...
not that bynum is that great...but his length gives other teams (like the spurs and small ball) many problems...
they allowed him to PLAY...and now he is not that bad...
if Ian got that kind of a chance....he would at least be better than the garbage that is bonner...
Ian has something you cannot teach....height and length and jumping ability on top of that...
i want to punch Pop right in the ing mouth right now...
but hairston....geez that guy is ready NOW...
it is just frustrating to watch pop's decline and apparent onset of senility...
