Another great game. Played very well against Gasol.
I hope Pop keep playing him big minutes

One of our huge keys in the playoffs, tbh.
I agree. I don't know if he starts or not, but he sure does seem to fit in with this offense and he is mobile on defense and a decent rebounder. I'm pretty impressed!!
After a Timeout where things got a little close. I guess in the 3rd he made a nice move and then banked the lay up against Gasol. Now what i loved about is that he showed great confidence and that's the best of it.
Superb defense on gasol
Blair ain't going to like this but as much as I like the kid Diaw is so much better. Going into the summer I hope we will be able to trade Blair, and Amnesty or trade Bonner. So then we can hopefully sign Diaw and also Lobrek...........
A bigs rotation of Duncan-Diaw and Splitter-Bonner would work very well.
Cannot say enough about how well he's been playing. Especially against the likes of the Lakers, Mavs, and Grizzlies.
Will be huge for us in the playoffs.
Diaw should start with Duncan the rest of season and playoffs. Bring Splitter off the bench to pair with Manu.
BTW with Diaw and Splitter finally breaking the big rotation, Bonner is used the way he should be, and logically shines right now. No way we should get rid of him.
Splitter has been in the rotation all year, and Bonner's role is what it has been all year. The only change has been a Diaw/Blair switch.
splitter starts, diaw finishes. there is still room for bonner and even blair to contribute, but for the important stretches those are the guys. diaw has shades of horry in him, I know he will not shrivel in the PO.
I am surprised how well he battles Gasol. You can even tell he was getting Gasol frustrated. I think if Splitter is going to start Pop has to make the offense work by run plays to take advantage of TD and Splitter.
No kidding. I've actually been very happy with Bonner's production/minutes these last few games. A rotation of Bonner-Diaw-Duncan-Splitter is solid enough that this team can make a deep run imo. Spurs need to let Blair walk.
He and Jax play D the way it should be played, getting into the jersey of the opponent and annoying the out of them. Splitter and Leonard could learn a thing or two from the vets.
leonard is a rookie and if he got in their jersey he call for rookie foul
And don't forget Tony's credit in signing him.

This is a Diaw thread. He completely neutralized Gasol. Amazing.
He was the reason we got on the little runs. damn good
This was a HUGE SIGNING! Bringing Jax back was big yes, but man this dude can pass and play D on BIGS TOO! He can also play the pick n roll! Blair is not near him on those end of things. This was a huge add for the Spurs.
Was at tonight's game and watched Diaw closely. Great mobility and positioning, terrific moves in the paint and under the basket. Such a valuable asset for this team. Diaw really impressed.![]()
I really hope Pop keeps giving Blair's minutes to Diaw.
Diaw BB IQ >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Blair
(hopefully Dejuan can learn a thing or 3 from him)
What makes Boris such a great fit is his unselfish play. We have to have this guy back next year!
