Blair has damn near a double double stfu
Dejuan continuing to go up among the trees and get blocked. He barely looks over 6-5 out there and it's painful to watch him squander all those second chance opportunities by putting up the double pump attempt resulting in a block 90% of the time. He should pass it out and reset for a decent second chance opportunity everytime unless he is wide open.
At one point before Bynum went down, he appeared to actually drop the shot over Dejuan's head and into the bucket like he was playing a big 5 year old. Sad.
Blair has damn near a double double stfu
It is sad, Blair looks fat and short out there. I agree w/ OP
At least Splitter looks good, he may actually get some PT.
Blair is the Spurs best player this game. STFU.
eat a , er
He just needs to recognize when it's best to pull it back or step through with a better angle. He REACHES for shots sometimes.
If the Spurs FO weren't already aware as to what most us already know - that the Spurs frontline is smallish and needs a size upgrade - then this game serves as just yet another painful reminder.
Or perhaps Pop should play some of our bigs off the bench. Our team isn't that small up front, just the rotation.
The only other big the Spurs have that has any kind of length or ability to defend the post, not named Duncan, is Splitter. And he's not enough.
I just hope this frontline gets a size upgrade over the offseason.
Splitters' offense looked good until the ball clanged off of the rim. I actually wanted Blair to stay in the game. That unit was really clicking.
Yes, let's completely ignore McDyess - that's right. He plays for the Mavs, right? And Blair can play the post - just not in the same way the others do.
Quit looking for reasons to , and appreciate the team we've had all year - and hope to have for the playoffs.
LOL Lakers barely beat our scrubs...
This! And talk about a confidence booster for our bench. Good job team!LOL Lakers barely beat our scrubs...
Good point. He could be more effective once his basketball IQ improves by offensive rebounding and pulling it back, but I don't know how his defense can improve much. I hear Houston's Chuck Hayes, who is a similar size is an excellent defender at Center. What does he have that Dejuan doesn't?
As a Bulls fan it's been difficult to see the Spurs slowly decline from NBA Champion to 2nd Round disaster. Especially with it paired up with the Lakers dominance
As a Bulls fan, I am sure you will get over it someday.
No one is suggesting a "waving of a white towel". It's not ing, it's facing the realization as to some obvious deficiencies along the frontline. Deficiencies that have been exposed against teams like the Fakers, Grizzlies - and perhaps now even the Thunder, who have upgraded their frontline size.
Unless Pop elects to utilize Splitter more in the postseason, the Spurs will have trouble keeping some teams off the offensive glass and out of the paint. That, my friend should be obvious - even to you.
That ability to recognize what's a good shot. Hayes knows his limitations, accepts them fully and then plays to his strengths like crazy. DeJuan is still part of that young generation that wants a highlight and wants attention. When DeJuan makes a mistake, you'll sometimes see him say, "My bad," or something to that effect. With Chuck, you look at his effort and all you can say is,"Good job." That's what I hope DeJuan accepts. If he does that, we got a career of 10 & 10 with sprinklings of 20-12 a few times a year.
I loved Blair's tackle on Kobe Bryant btw. Hard fouls like that are what the Spurs have been lacking all season!
Excellent point.
Hayes is excellent a playing within himself and toward his strengths. He's outmanned every night, yet he never tries to be somethingg that he's not.
I guess in a way, it's "getting over oneself"...to borrow a phrase from Pop.
Big Baby is another player of similar stature and limitations as Blair, but one who has found his niche. Blair would do well to emulate both him and Hayes.
What makes u more sad?? Bynum going out or that the lakers not getting pass the first round? Just a quick question.
Blair seems to frequently leave his feet too early when he's going to the hoop. Anyone else see this? No? O.k., nevermind.
Go, Beast!
