Why did you forget?
Probably a fluke, guys always have like 4 or 5 games a year when they go off.
Start a thread about his line every game.
bend over, I'll show you a big ??
ibtl
ban OP NOW
The yanny-haters like Bill Buttsky must all be happy with Boner and his 1 rebound in 3 games.
Inconsistency was Ian's bugbear. He certainly seems to have an opportunity to capitalize here against some other team.
Can't develop consistency without regular minutes, something he's been getting in Dallas.
You know we are in dire straits when people are seriously wishing Mahinmi was back.

Mavs won a championship with Mahinmi filling that role of 4th-5th big last year. If that's what you consider being in dire straights, I'll take dire straights today, tomorrow and twice on Sundays.
He basically played backup big when Haywood went down. He had some really good minutes in the game 6 win in Miami.
lol dire 'straights'
Brian Cardinal played more minutes than Mahinmi. Fire Carlisle.
we can all make fun of OP but reality is we definitely need a big and I'll take Ian back in a heartbeat. Spurs have spent lot of money and energy to develop this guy, we get rid of him for nothing to a rival. This was just a dumb move in the long list of recent Spurs FO dumb moves.
Ian tearing up the Raptors' Barngani/derozen frontline.
don't forget Amir Johnson, Ed Davis and James Johnson
Ian's a "deer". He just never understood the game. AFAIK, he's also not available. People need to move on from a failed project. He's barely an NBA rotation player on the right team or teams.
The Mavs coach has been very happy with Mahinimi's progress so he's getting more minutes. He played 28 last night compared to 19 for the starter
"Mahinmi hit all six field goal attempts, went 7 for 11 from the free throw line, and added five rebounds and two blocked shots.
“I know this was a career high in points for him, but the last two nights he’s given us a really high level of energy,” Mavs coach Rick Carlisle said.“He’s given us a physical presence, he’s a combative guy, and he was really big for us tonight.”
More importantly he's learning to control his PF (4) and only had one turnover. I watch a lot of Mavs games and he really is better now than he showed here. There were several times where he moved without the ball and was open down low for a layup or dunk but didn't get the ball. He runs the court hard on offense and defense.
The guy never played much here and had very little BB background so it took him more time to develop than the Spurs were willing to invest. I don't remember the other options the FO preferred when they let him go but they weren't young athletic big men.
5 minutes in game one?
lol
Nothing new here......
Starting threads after every decent game he has.
Folks have to live in the past.
He's definitely better than Bonner. That's the only fact that matters.
