BLAIR SUSPENDED FOR GAME 5

[RD2191]

Fat scrub had the game of his life. It's not like Dirk or Monta got suspended. This will have zero impact on Game 5.

Here's the thing though. It doesn't really matter if he meant to kick him or not. Just like with fouls, you can foul someone without meaning to foul them. This is just teaching him a lesson for letting the frustration getting the best of him. Blair. ed. Up.

Terrible news, tbh, he has been atrocious in this series outside of last night's anomaly, tbh..

The Blair/Dirk frontcourt has been horrendous on defense in this series..

[dg7md]

Blair always ing himself over.

[Budkin]

Spurs just lost their best player.

Blair was destroying us last night and probably would have won the game for the Mavs if he wasn't such a mental midget.. I for one will take the good fortune.

I don't think Blair was actually looking at Tiago when he connected. He reared his head back and kicked out of frustration.

[wildchild]

Obviously, Dallas'll try push the refs to call everything and compensate...

Blair always ing himself over.

Sad but true.

I said in the 3rd, up by 20, that the game would be close in the 4th and a Spurs player would do something really stupid, but it was a former Spurs player... my crystal ball needs to be calibrated.

I don't understand the hate for Blair, the guy has some serious skills. he was a steal in the second round, and plays far beyond what a person of his size and knee condition should.

[tholdren]

Shouldn't be suspended, tbh.

I'm disappointed - Blair had his moment in game 4 and I was hoping it would blind Carlisle to his weaknesses and make him play more minutes, which 90% of the time will be a plus for the Spurs.

fail. high energy players always kill us... blair fisher barrea terry.... tiago is happy, no more getting outplayed and out rebounded

[Capster]

i'm surprised. i didn't feel like it warranted a suspension, but...there it is.

I agree!!!

LOL! Yeah Jason Terry was Nutty Buddy!

"It was an accident. I didn't mean to kick him"

[DapDaGenius]

LOL Going to funny hearing what Blair says if Mavs take the series.

This is weak. They kicked him out of Game 4. I think that was enough. He doesn't have the reputation. Heck Bowen did that to Allen in the playoffs in 2005 and didn't get suspended.

[Beaverfuzz]

6 less fouls in the middle. Take it at Dirk all night long.

[playblair]

not sure if intentional or not..................1 thing playblair is sure about..............blair proved to the haters he deserved the playoff starting spot in 2009-10 2010-11......... blairs performance in game 4 was not a fluke..........blair = toughness/physicality.........blair vs splitter/diaw/bonner = matchup nightmare..............

Any blow to the head is automatic suspension. That is the reality of today's NBA.

He cost his team that win and possibly the series.

+1

Carlisle was using the out of those fouls.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Spurs need to get Dalembert and Wright in foul trouble.
