Thanks LA fan, always enjoy your posts. You've got some solid takes plenty of times.

He's still raw but I see him really blossoming in about 2 years if not sooner.

He would be pretty sick if he could get just a Big Baby Jumper.
Yeah he would. I just remember how he man handled Garnett and the rest of the Celtics front line several weeks ago. I knew when I saw that game this kid had somehting.
Hopefully he doesn't get injured. If he plays smart and develops moves that won't affect his ACL I think this kid will surprise many.
Anyhow, good kid in a good system.
The Thunder had no answer for the kid. He is definitely going to be a key piece to the future of the Spurs franchise. Nice pick-up and shame on all the other teams for not giving this guy the proper respect he deserved at the time.
Great Rookies:Bill RussellWilt ChamberlainElgin BaylorOscar RobertsonJerry WestJulius ErvingElvin HayesLarry BirdMagic JohnsonMichael Jordanooops, let me stop. break out the "Is Blair greater than Michael Jordan threads"!
Actually, I'm glad he doesn't have a jumper. One less Spur to come out and try to rely on it in the third quarter or the last five minutes of games.
The most impressive thing about Blair is that he seems to LOVE contact underneath the hoop a la the Chuckster.
Maybe Ive just been watching Amare for too long.
Bump. What happened to this guy?
people found out he's 6'6 and can't play defense.
28 pts, 21 rbds, 2 blks, 2 stls on 31 min
I feel for you fans of other NBA teams that let this guy slide.
lol i told everyone from the get go that blair is mediocre at best, and got ridiculed by spurfans like jews in 1942
popovich tried turning blair into a diaw type player.............................
I think it must be athletic somehow..his rebounding-which was his differentiating skill-was spectacular his first two years and now is just average..if you go by them rebound rates and ..
Serious decline of Blair... went from his first 2 years to whatever the that was he did last night... running one hander from the top of the key that didn't even come close to going in.
This thread
I don't know if its his acls or his weight but he does not look like the same player from a few years ago.
F***, who is that guy on your sig. I know I know him!
You should apologize to Steve Kerr ASAP tbh...
I'm still glad we drafted him (Who else? Jerebko may have worked. Budinger?, De Colo?....uhhh wait!).
Only sad, we didn't trade him when everyone loved him (at his peak he might have landed us something just shy of a lottery pick).
Overall I think he is likable and in the right situation (fast pace, offense first teamm with an athletic big next to him...think Denver) still may be an NBA player. Just not for a contender.
i think you missed the sarcasm. i made this thread during the 09 pre-season in which all Spurs fans were going ape- over Blair.
I got ridden out of town on a rail by the bnsf when I said Blair was not NBA ready. In fact, one poster even went to far as to say the Spurs would have won 70 games had Blair not been benched that year the Spurs got beaten in the 1st round by Memphis.
Blair was ok before he was trained to not foul out. When they were allowing him to gather fouls for rebounds, he was doing good on the boards but he'd foul out by the end of the 3rd quarter. After the summer he worked on his footwork in the paint and his FT shooting. The following season his rebounds dropped off and he just didn't have that natural positioning any longer. I suppose raw talent can be diluted with fundamentals and some minds cannot adapt.
blair 30/20 game >>>>>>>>>>>>> diaw/bonner/dice ........................
