Oh great, this guy's back.The yanny-haters like Bill Buttsky must all be happy with Boner and his 1 rebound in 3 games.
I've been patiently waiting on the Ian thread. Pretty disappointed that it's taken this long to get made. I guess the lockout has affected the greys too.

glad we could accommodate - now get back to posing in front of the mirror
Oh noes...another grey is making fun of my picture. Aggie did that too. Always considered you guys to be a step above them. Disappointed...yet again.
come on now - just givin you a hard time, but I won't back down defending my grey brethren. We keep folks here entertained and frustrated with our bold and astute observations
That you do. You are part of the internal fabric of this place. ..I even welcomed you guys back after the lockout.
Consistant minutes in 3 games this year so far. Wow, it only took 6 seasons,
Dallas won a championship with their lineup and still managed to find minutes for him. What's San Antonio's excuse?Consistant minutes in 3 games this year so far. Wow, it only took 6 seasons,
Against Toronto? lol Toronto is a joke, & btw how many rebounds did he have 5? smh he will always be a scrub.
His last season in SA: 6.3 mpg
His first season in DAL: 8.7 mpg
Fire Carlisle.
The whining/pining for a 3.5/2 player is laughable. I don't give a if he's 7'0" tall, he still can't hold DB's jock as a basketball player.
And for the record...I'd wouldn't mind having Ian back and considering the 5th big options out there I think the FO would too if he was available as he knows the Spurs offense and defense.
But he's not...the ship has sailed...so just move on.
the mpg is not as important as Ian getting minutes during the playoffs - heck even Tiago had a hard time getting minutes and he's much more important to the Spurs chances than our center in a fat SF body.
The point of even bringing up Ian's stats is to point out that keeping or bringing in a young project would have probably helped the Spurs vs. the lack of depth now.
I'm obviously glad DB had a good game (had some last year too), but the odds of DB and Bonner getting abused often this season and in the playoffs still remain high. DB is a good 4th, but the Spurs still need a 3rd and a 5th big with TD needing rest - Bonner shoots 4 three pointers a game and that is pretty much it.
Mahinmi played in the finals, despite the Mavs having two centers that were better than anything that was in San Antonio when Mahinmi was getting DNP-CDs. Mahinmi left and was replaced by Splitter who also didn't get any time.
DB? I think you mean MB, since he's the reason the Spurs are looking for help on the front line. And double check your numbers, plz. Mahinmi's putting up 8 and 3 and shooting .733 from the field in 17 minutes, while Bonner's putting up 4 and 0.3 in 20 minutes on .267 shooting.
Allowing him to watch the other guys play doesn't really develop a player.
He had his chance to develop in Austin & in limited minutes he looked like a train wreck.Allowing him to watch the other guys play doesn't really develop a player.
And now he's clearly better than Matt Bonner and making a fraction of the money. Funny how actually getting PT helps a player, just ask Tiago Splitter.
Again, I understand that he's gone to another team but he's a good kid and I feel compelled to defend him:
-I don't know about a train wreck - he averaged 17 and 9, plus his team when to the d-league finals.
-He's only 25; he didn't go to college and his skills are still developing a bit (even though his ceiling is going to probably be lower than first thought)
-Some players take time - look at Tyson Chandler. He's played for 10 seasons and guess how many times he's averaged a double-double? He was still very important to Mavs finally getting a ring and some will say he didn't mature until after he spent 5 seasons in Chicago and moved on to NO.
I think you're way too overconfident to think the Spurs couldn't use a big even on Ian's level this year and especially with the shortened season.
Nice to know there are still a few little Tparks running around.
I agree Tiago getting playing time helped him, but this is one good game from him against the Raptors, & you suddenly think he's improved? And I wouldn't compare the 2, Ian is raw garbage, Splitter was proven overseas.

Ian is no Chandler.
Please don't tell me what players I'm talking about. DB means DeJuan Blair. DB is putting up 16/6 in 21.7 mins per game. Kinda smokes what Yawn Mahinmi is doing. Pardon me for not missing a disinterested Frenchman.Mahinmi played in the finals, despite the Mavs having two centers that were better than anything that was in San Antonio when Mahinmi was getting DNP-CDs. Mahinmi left and was replaced by Splitter who also didn't get any time.

DB is the starter, and isn't who Mahinmi would be taking minutes from. Try to follow along.
yeah - no kidding
point of comparison is to give an example of development for a young big
Ian can't be that much of garbage since he's getting minutes on the defending champs.
they signed another player the mavs did
guess what he is a big
