Tonight and tomorrow.
Pau Gasol is playig really well right now we'll see who guards him.
Tonight's game could be the one that determines what direction Pop decides to go with this.

I think a loss in this game could be more useful in the long run if the Lakers dominate us on the inside and Pop overreacts and starts Tiago.
I thought about that, even before posting it initially. However, this site is purely for entertainment and community. It's a fair point and thanks for updating the stats, pad300.
That about sums it up.
It's interesting though because in the 48 Minutes of comments you'll see a lot of people who think the opposite and are convinced that Blair is one of our top bigs.
That would be nice but the more I think about it the more convinced I am that Pop just didn't think Tiago would be this good when he made his rotations earlier this season.
I don't think he's going to change anything until the team's backs are against the wall. Personally, I hope it works out because anything less than a championship is a failure in my opinion.
Well, this is solved.
He sucks.
I pretty much called it. It will be interesting to see how Pop reacts in the next game.
Blair seems like a very cool guy but he can't keep getting minutes with this team, sorry. He's just too damn short.
He won't start Splitter, if we're lucky Diaw will be starting tomorrow.
Now I know you're a troll.
It's no longer a conundrum...Blair is a 5-10 minute spot player at best. If Splitter, or at least Diaw, isn't starting by the playoffs, might as well get ready for the draft.
tbh, Blair should be in the D-League.
The problem with this is that he should have started Splitter from the beginning of the season. If he makes a panic move like he did last year when Bynum dominated us, the team is going to lose all of their confidence. son
...I think you mean *last* season. He should've been starting since he first got here last year.
It should help their confidence. They will know they are going into games with a legit seven footer and not a 6'5 midget center that can't defend.
Obstructed_View probably couldn't see the game so he doesn't know we lost. Probably thinks Blair dominated on the boards and heard the cheering and figured it was for the Spurs. Probably assembling a novel about it now, talking about how Blair > Howard.
I agree with the folks who are saying Pop can't swap Blair out now, it's just too damn late in the year and he'll just look like a complete imbecile for doing so.
It's going on 2 years too late now for Splitter, and it's now two weeks too late with Diaw.
Stubborn idiot made his bed now lie in it.
what's funny is that Blair came to the league as a beast that dominated the boards. In his first year he had some nasty games rebounding and i would never think this would be a problem for him.
Now he completely sucks rebounding. I mean WTF ? And it's not like it's just happens against Bynum because of his size. It happens all the time now.
any center with more than 6-9 can crap over Blair's defense.
Blair is the worst "big" on the team. He has no business starting. I dgaf about the ramifications. He shouldn't be here next year anyway.
I don't see how someone can say Blair is worst than Bonner. They are both ing awful. Difference is Blair plays vs. opponent starters and Bonner plays vs. opponent scrubs. Yeah, Bonner looks a bit better out there but truth is they both get schooled.
A center taller than 6 foot 9 should be able to crap over ANY defender who is only 6 foot 5.
The problem is that Blair is not tall enough to play as an NBA center, but he is being forced to play that position. The fault is not with Blair. So don't get mad at him, get mad at the person playing him out of position.
I wish both of them were gone but If I had to choose I take Bonner over Blair every day of the week. First, the +/- #s don't lie and while I'm not a huge fan of them, you can't just ignore it. 2nd, Bonner is just as good of a defender if not better than Blair.
Of course they are both regular season players and have no business playing heavy minutes on a playoff team but those are the cards we were dealt.
"Bonner plays against 2nd units" That's also false seeing that Pop has closed out numerous games with Bonner this season.
Blair doesn't even bring rebounding anymore. He's overweight and useless. He brings about 3 minutes of energy for the game and then he's tired.
A lot of us here know Blair is a huge liability. Lakers and Memphis game just show that. Blair would not be playing any minutes in 23-25 teams in the league. I really hope Pop wake up, start Diaw (Tiago would be ask too much) and give Blair the towel and a bunch of DNP
6 minutes for Splitter in the first half.
If this is a sign for things to come in the playoffs, this team won't go anywhere.
