Deserved minutes over Bonner tbh.
Not sure what to make out of that. Referring to Pop as "dude" probably won't help him win any minutes. He's not outwardly whining but it's not too far beneath the surface.
Hopefully this doesn't boil over into something more. Blair, especially when you consider his contract, is damn good bigman depth.
Deserved minutes over Bonner tbh.
I like him but just trade him, we will all be better off.
Trying to decipher what he's saying, especially the part about respect.
He's a kid. No doubt he's emotional over all of it. Damn shame he's barely taller than Sequ, tbh
Translation: "Just as I expected!...Haha! It just hit me! I'm just not what coach Popovich needs out there -- and I respect that. Just know that I am doing my part."
he wants to play to get a big bloated contract
I don't know man, in my mind running to twitter is about as outward as a person can whine these days! I know he's part of the twitter generation, but imo leave this to idiot nobodies like that crying Britney Spears' fan from youtube fame. Although I guess it fits, and is to be expected. Blair's not professional enough to take his game into his own hands and actually improve on the court like his team needs him (rebounding, defense, etc), so why should we expect him to be professional in not airing his on twitter. smh
Don't want either Bonner or Blair. If we have to pick between those two, however, being professional is another reason Bonner should be ahead of Blair in the rotation.
Of tempests and teapots.
If Dwayne Wade can verbally assault his coach in full view, then I don't think DB has flagrantly violated any code of ethic, tbh.
You don't win games just because you are a character guy. Character and professionalism isn't going to get you 20 and 20 against OKC, but it could get you a guy that curls up into the fetal position, which is what Bonner does.
Both should be traded, but I don't choose Bonner over Blair at all. Maybe it's because we're talking about Bonner that is clouding my thinking, whereas with anyone else I would probably choose the professional player first. Bonner is that ing bad, that he makes me choose against him no matter what.
I'm guessing that Blair expected not to play in this game or realized that he was not needed for this game in particular.
"It is as I suspected. Alas, I am simply not what my coach desires on the court of basketball. This became known to me this instant! It is all related to respect. However, let there be no doubt that I am providing my appropriate contribution."
I have no issue with this.
It's fair for him to want minutes over Bonner. Would we rather he be happy he isn't playing?
Lol. An excellent diatribe but I'm afeared it does not meet the 140 character limit. Besides, Pop would actually have been able to discover what DB was actually saying.
The words "damn good" and Blair should never be used in the same sentence.Blair, especially when you consider his contract, is damn good bigman depth.
Lol this why I unfollowed him on twitter a long time ago. Send his ass to Houston haha!
in blair started most of the last few years and was a big reason the spurs were successful during the regular season...you guys are a bunch of dbag haters man....I like Blair. Pop is great and all but everytime he rolls out of the bed with matt's mom, he goes from great to just good.
Pop.
, he would go for 20/20 against us...our defense is weak and hardly anybody hustles like he does...
That tweets will become a distraction, Pop's not gonna love that.
First, fair or not, if you are a superstar player like Wade, being unprofessional can be much more tolerated.
Second, when a player at Wade's caliber complains, coach and other players might make some adjustment to him a little bit. Sometimes this might result in some good changes to the team. While when a player like Blair complains, it is no good for either the team or the player himself.
That being said, I don't applaud what Wade did at all. That's the reason Timmy is my favorite player.
He's a very flawed big, but it's ing crime against humanity for Bonner to ever get more minutes than him (unless we need 3FG)
he would have been a horrible matchup against NO's bigs
It's just the beginning. If Pop continue to not playing Blair, it will be worse and could end up as an issue for Spurs.
What drives Blair is clearly money. It's not a coincidence that he suddenly is in shape and has worked all summer on his game while he is entering his contract year. With each DNP-CD, his potential new contract is shrinking.
For Spurs the situation is simple: either trade Blair or give him consistent minutes.
