If Boris Diaw does not play tonight, it would break a streak of 384 consecutive game appearances (2nd in NBA to Lakers' Derek Fisher)
Diaw's games-played streak pre-dates the trade to Charlotte, reaching back to his Phoenix Suns days.
hes done in cha i just wonder if he really would come here
Gee... what could the reason be?
Boston could be a player as well if Jermaine Oneal turns out to be finished for the year.
Typically a move like this a prelude to a trade, but I don't really see him being traded. If he's not being moved, it could very well be they just want him gone and want to move the minutes to other guys. He could also be hurt. Haven't heard anything official yet.
If he's available, spurs have to go after him. Limited options. He's a vet. He can contribute. Not ideal fit, but we haven't had an ideal fit in a long time.
So is he playing?
Any team rumored to be interested?
Nothing that I've heard.
Probably will start soon enough
I just saw a photo of him recently. He's obese. If I remember correctly, he was already slacking off when he was still in Phoenix. I don't get the sense that the lowly Bobcats is the reason for his apathy, I think it's safe to say he's just not very motivated. Furthermore, I don't even know what he could offer while playing at his ridiculous weight. He would need to lose about 40 pounds to get back to normal. Is there even time for that?
That said, it doesn't seem like the Spurs have any better options so they need to see if it's somehow worth pursuing.
Hilarious blog post on how much food it takes for Diaw to STAY fat during an NBA season.
The before and after pics are startling.
" ...In about six years, seven months and some change, Boris Diaw will have consumed enough energy to melt a full size ice sculpture of himself and then bring the water to a boil to cook some delicious spaghetti in...."
That's good interwebbin' right there
Priceless!
Thanks.![]()
He and DeJuan Blair could start their own support group.
With Oprah rooting them on.
Diaw's DNP-CD means that his situation will end up with either a trade or a buy out.
If he is bought out and if Spurs wants him, they have a huge edge over other teams because of Parker. I remember few years ago, Parker and Diaw said that one of their dream was to play together in NBA. If the lockout had last the full season, Diaw would have ended playing with Parker's team in France.
Bruno thats if he is not the fatty we see in the pic there, who wants twinkie on their team?
Is this the same kind of edge that the Clippers had with J.R. Reid and the supposed "closeness" between Reid and Paul? That means absolutely nothing.
At this point, Diaw is barely a serviceable rotation player. He's only a plus because we are short on 4/5s. Think: tan Bonner, minus the three ball.
