    tiago is too much of a finesse player to guard z-bo.... gasol.... howard..... jordan.... jefferson... in the playoffs ... blair is the only spur big physically strong enough to guard the west bigs
    1) TD is strong enough to guard them
    2) Splitter can handle all of them better than any big not named Duncan, and Diaw in Pau Gasol's case
    3) Idk if Blair is still strong enough to not get backed down by any of the bigs you mentioned, but the more important fact is that they all can easily score over Blair, they don't even have to go thru them

    Btw, does anyone know who Splitter blocked, and if he was 100% on his patented hip-release hook shots this game? I can't believe I didn't watch the game, even though I was completely free.

    EDIT: Beat me to it DAF.

    The Verizon Center was Spurs Town East as I got to the game late (at least 20% Spurs fansa and lots of Spurs jersies) - chazley is right Bonner got pissed off about something and played out of his mind.

    Spurs ball movement was special last PM as was Manu's fake out play.

    Splitter racked up the stats against the worst team in the league. I'd like to see him do the same thing to Miami. Here's hoping he does.

    Fun game against a miserable team. Hope everyone enjoyed their free passes to the hoop. As for who sits and who plays vs. Miami, well, we all know Pop gonna do what Pop gonna do.

    Haha such a typical Bonner game. Dude looks awesome when there is no pressure. He hit three after three, a pull up fade-away curling off the baseline....get outta here man. This is probably what Pop sees in practice everyday.


    He reminds me of the looney toons cartoon with the singing frog when nobody is around..." O MY DARLING O MY SWEETHEART O MY RAGTIME GAL!"

    Splitter needs minutes. He can't get into a regular rhythm without regular minutes. Pop needs to play him over twenty minutes per game, regardless of his production in individual games. He can be very good and consistent IMHO if he gets into a rhythm with consistent minutes.

    It wasn't surprising at all to see Manu look sharp. The 1-of-7 on threes against Raptors was misleading. If you watched the game you saw that all the shots were on line and just rimmed out. He wasn't missing badly wide left or right like before.

    Look, Blair has the ability to be a quality big off the bench. He's in line for a pay upgrade and on account of him being better than Bonner -atm anyway- he'll always have a place in the rotation because we don't really have that many bigs.

    What we all care about is the playoffs. Tiago playing to his potential coupled with Diaw playing more aggressively could be the combination that gives the team a puncher's chance assuming that the big 3 stays healthy and our 3 point shooters are decent. Blair probably won't be in the playoff rotation.

    Wow I had no idea James Anderson was back. I saw him go in and I was like what the heck. Is it just a temporary thing since both Jax and Kawhi are out?

    Yes. He'll probably be waived when Leonard returns.

    This pretty much sums it up. Splitter playing at or near his best can combine with TD and Diaw to form a very good playoff bigman rotation. There may be moments to use Blair in the playoffs, but he's simply too small to be a regular rotation player for a team looking to make a deep playoff run.

    ^ blir was benched the last 2 playoffs ... that didn't work out so great ... blair = the toughness needed
    I know you're a big Blair fan, but that's some seriously flawed logic.

    Blair is much more of a liability on the floor than is Bonner. Bonner at least commands a defender on offense even if he is just a traffic cone on defense (Blair isn't much better). It sucks we have these two to choose from.

    Just as impressive to me was the fact the Spurs exited the building in about a half hour after the game. Got in, neutralized their target, got out undetected. Black ops.

    lol, awesome sig.
    I looked that clip up, you could tell that cameraman wanted to hold onto that shot of perfect breasts as long as possible before tilting down. damn French have some hot women.

    back to the game thread...Nando made some jawdropping passes per par. I wish Bonner channeled this anger when it mattered most. I know it's the popular thing on here to hate on him, but I still think he can have a role on this team.

    lol is this clown really saying blair is tough
    how you seen his twitter
    he has the mentality of a 12 year old girl
    all the bad starts weve had so far on this trip have been due to blair not being able to play any defense
    david west and kevin seraphin both shat on him multiple times
