Well at least he tried to
2 or 3 traveling calls??????
Pop laughing his ass off at him?????
he tries, he's a good guy. But that doesn't make him an NBA player. he's done and he never even started.
He had 1 travel and a moving screen..that was bad..
He altered multiple shots on D and got to the free throw line in his only other touch..
He never gets to play to get in a rhythm on the floor and he always has to have pressure on him because he doesn't get consistent minutes..
Better to see him fail than let him walk not knowing...I think he at least deserves a leash as long as some of the other spares on this team (Bogans, Jefferson, Mason, etc.).
Spur fan ladies and gentlemen.
gimme a ing break. He looked bad vs. Cavs D league. Anybody that calls for minutes for him, is an idiot.
5 mins, 3 TO.
Pop is laughing at all of us when his centerpiece is getting burned by jawad nobody and he sets up the last play to a 0-7 Mason... but yeah, you have a point about Ian. On the other hand, I much rather find some minutes on the rotation for Hairston when guys like RJ take 3 jumpers in a row...
So then what about Blair?
Yea your right, because he's had way too many chances to prove himself.![]()
Ian only had 2 turnovers, 1 of them was a moving screen and the other was a travel call..
The other turnover was clearly Roger Mason's fault, I can't believe they credited that TO to Ian..
I think it was the worst game of the season for Blair, he was terrible
I liked Ian D, but it's difficult to get some rhythm on O when you barely play
plus roger was running point at the time
Mahinmi show tonight promise that if he would have got playing time he would be great to this team, all of his mistakes was for luck of playing time!
3yrs with the spurs and this is what he has shown us?
saviour my arse
LMAO everytime Ian makes a mistake it's "bad luck"
he still makes about 1 mistake every 30 seconds
The point is, this was a lineup that Blair should have done well against, and he sucked. But I wouldn't take this game and extrapolate that Blair is garbage from it.
I thought he defended fairly well... I'll give you that much... and in nights like tonight, when Dice looks like a rotten corpse, I wouldn't be opposed to give him some minutes.
He's still largely raw though...
Hickson also made a few bad plays for the Cavs... I still think you have to give Mahinmi some time
Yup, Ian is simply a garbage minutes player if he's lucky especially on the Spurs. The mains things he contributes are lack of basketball IQ, fouls, and turnovers. He doesn't have a NBA-ready mindset, footwork, hands, or strength. Pretty unfortunate since the Spurs could use all the help they can get but its best if his role stays very limited. After injury his lateral quickness never looked the same either. In his opportunities he hasn't shown that he deserves substantial time against NBA players.
Never understood how this d-league project got so many forum fans...like a cult or something![]()
I started watching in the third. Didn't realize he got PT. Someone please give me more details if you don't mind.
More like lack of playing and development than "bad luck". Ian could have been making these mistakes early in the year and corrected them by this point of the season...this is all on Pop.
It's only March though...

can't talk bad about Jesus (Ian) like that.
