blair statistically better than tiago advanced stats this year

[hater]

Blair just gets eviscerated in the post-season when teams have multiple games to break down film and every possession is important. They would go right at him every time and he's repeatedly shown that's he's incapable of guarding anyone with size.

and unfortunately the exact same can be said about Bonner

Bonner is currently our 3rd big off the bench, after Diaw and Ayres. It's not a big deal that he's weak defensively. Blair started for us. That's a huge difference.

Meanwhile, Tiago is an excellent defender, and even though he's been hurt this season, when he is on the floor this team is very stout defensively.

DUMB.blair never played playoff basketball. keep saying same homer trash, tiago blows in playoffs. see finals...WORTHLESS. didn't need signed period

[DMC]

paying for tiago stupid when we could have signed-trade or let walk. trade splitter he is useless against thunder heat pacers

I bet that seemed so much more controversial in your mind than it appears here. Must be a huge letdown.

He played in 36 playoff games for us in the playoffs. Averaged 3.8 points per game, and <3 rebounds per. Got anything else, or would you like to bow out of this discussion after making it plainly obvious that you haven't follows Spurs basketball?

All I know is that Blair is a GOD compared to Errors.

[Jwash_1986]

DeJuan 5.8
Tiago 5.3

Not much diffrence tbh

Much difrence contract wise and that's what matters at the end of the day. You pay 36m for a more productive player then a 1m player. Correct your boy if I'm wrong? Simple mathematics mane.

Market Value, If Spurs didnt pay'em that someone else would. Spurs woulda lost a big man!

So what OP is saying is that Blair > Splitter?

Maybe not Blair but Robin Lopez was available and Blatche. I don't know why mother as be in his jock so hard. Dude soft as toilet tissue mane. I give it to him he does well in certain areas but he ain't worth the money. The dude getting paid Duncan money. But I'm not going to argue it debate te because he isn't going anywhere so I just get use to it.

[SupremeGuy]

Tiago has something that Blair doesn't. Post moves. Bigs who only shoot floaters aren't as important to a team as bigs who have height and legitimate post moves.

Height, tbh.

Blair played 8 min a game... So those are pretty good numbers for 8 min

[tholdren]

Ps Blair avg 8 mpg in playoffs tiago 17 mpg and 3rpg... ing ty
Blair avg same in less than half the minutes

[Cry Havoc]

DUMB.blair never played playoff basketball

Ps Blair avg 8 mpg in playoffs

You can't make this stuff up.

[Obstructed_View]

Opposing front lines get season high numbers against Dirk and Blair. Advanced stats don't make up for that.

[ducks]

people splitter does a lot that does not show up on stat stats

[FireMicoHalili]

I hope you get warped to an alternate universe where Blair is your starting C/PF while Nowitzki and Aldridge keep shooting jumpers over you

[spurraider21]

the difference is you can put tiago in the game and not implode defensively

[senorglory]

Atleast Blair doesn't finish like a damn .

out of control spin move, blocked about a foot from the rim. out of control spin move, blocked about a foot from the rim. open path, jump too soon, stuffed by the rim. out of control spin move, blocked about a foot from the rim. repeat.

And Tiago does not get 3 fouls in the first 3 minutes he comes in a game. Blair is a foul machine.

[Texas_Ranger]

Splitter is way better than Blair for the Spurs, but he still aint worth the money he's getting
