Has Blair really regressed?

[YoMamaIsCallin]

Answer: yes. He doesn't seem to care much any more. He makes mistakes and fouls way too much. And his at ude seems to be to laugh it off, as opposed to the intensity you see from everybody else.

The Spurs are a precision execution system oriented team. Blair clearly doesn't buy into that. He's loosey-goosey out there.

I think he's just waiting to get traded.

I'm waiting for that last sentence to happen too!! Only 7 days left.

So you conveniently delete the part where I mention he's a ty defender. He's not just ty, he's legendarily ty. It's why he can't get any playing time. He's by far the worst defender on the team, and the guys he covers put up MVP numbers when he's on the floor. If he's not putting up Kobe type stats, he can't crack the rotation.

So true. And when every possession matters (aka the playoffs) you can't afford to have him on the court, due to his physical and mental limitations.
He's useless IMO.

Blair starting = 30 rebounds for Bynum
Splitter starting = 2 rebounds for Bynum

case closed

I remember those two games. Night and day.

That truly does close this discussion.

WS/48: .147, .132, .142, .141. Career .140.
PT reduced.

Blair is producing as usual. Diaw (and Splitter) have cut into Blair's playing time.

Hah.

That is one cool gif in your sig Obstructed_View! Besides the awesome animation part something that may not be apparent in this play is Splitter reads that crossover a split second before the defender does... and that's all the window Parker needs.. shows some serious IQ going one and just how far along chemistry has come. Merci!

Someone posted it from another website. It has its own thread. It was too cool not to share.

And yeah, the Spurs are a fun offense to watch. I seem to recall someone predicting that the Spurs would pick and roll teams to death with Splitter in the starting lineup.
