DeJuan Blair has circled the Dallas Mavericks' matchup against his old team, the San Antonio Spurs, next season, and Mark Cuban senses determination in his new forward.
“DeJuan already knows when we’re playing the Spurs,” Cuban said. “We already know what DeJuan is going to do to the Spurs. It’s going to be a beautiful thing.”
Blair was adamant recently that he believes the Spurs would have won the NBA championship last season had he played in the Finals against the Miami Heat.
The Mavericks expected Blair to provide a strong inside presence.
“DeJuan was a really important acquisition for us because Elton Brand didn’t return,” Rick Carlisle said. “We need that physical (butt)-kicker to put out there and be an enforcer for us.”
Mavs fans now get to cheer for Barkley 2.0
Blair will put up 20 and 10 in a loss.
Wave this from the stands and Blair should be completely distracted.
IN Dallas, he'll have to avoid not only Whataburger, but In-n-Out too... Dude's gonna put on 25lbs this season...
Cuban is a smart man, so he knows how to press the right buttons. Obviously, he knows Blair is a scrub, but he's not going come out and say "Yep, it's true, Blair is an fat and undersized 'hustle' player who hasn't hustled since 2011 and he's only here to fill a roster spot." On the contrary Cuban says exactly what Blair wants to hear: that Blair's going to beat the out of the team that figured out he sucked and wouldn't let him play.
Replacement for Elton Brand? Are they joking? He is a good 2 inches shorter... at least and hasn't blocked a shot in his life much less scored like Brand did throughout his career. No way he avg a block a game like Brand did with Dallas... Delusional...
If any of the Mavs cheerleaders look like this, the distraction will UNDOUBTEDLY be complete
What will be quite a riot is if Bonner or Baynes outplays the ol sport to the point that Jim Carrey has to bench him. Then we can all be entertained by Dejuan Blair stating "we would've won if I had played more" following the game.
blair will pretty much be a non factor now without a good PnR ball handler.
For Spurs fans it will be a beautiful thing.
I'll never get why Spur fans want to bash on former players. Some (like Jax) deserve it, but a guy like Blair does not
I like Mark Cuban.
agreed. i have nothing against blair. i wish him the best.
but he's dreaming if he thinks he's gonna roll up into san antonio and take everyone by storm.
Wouldn't surprise me if he went off against the Spurs tbh. Wouldn't be the first time...
If he had resigned with the Spurs he'd have to avoid the same thing. In New Braunfels, In-N-Out is going up right NEXT to a Whataburger.
Leon Valley, Alamo Ranch and The Rim are also getting locations in 2014.
Wait. You'll never get why fans bash former players but then some deserve it... huh?
Elton was a 20 and 10 and 2 bpg player before injuries. But even after injuries he was still a very good defensive player.
Blair is a scrub and Cuban is a troll tbh.
Why is Cuban talking about this silly instead of what they're planning to do in the playoffs?
Oh wait.
Blair isn't scoring 20 unless at least 14 of it comes with Duncan on the bench, with 6-8 of it coming in garbage time when they're already down 20.
Duncan will block almost every single shot Blair takes on him unless it's on a cut. Watch.
Blair is not a bad player. I'm sure he'll have at least one double digit scoring game against us this year.
