Well . . . he is white . . .
Blair unless hes getting prison raped by the refs, I mean in foul trouble...
Well . . . he is white . . .
They both sucked against the lakers so who cares...Neither can play defense against the laker bigs.
I think if given the time to play, Blair can become a better version of Kendrick Perkins. Undersized center, but solid post defender w/ a better offensive game than Perk...imo
Perkins: 6-10 280
Blair: 6-6 265
Now for today's next stirring debate: cow dung or ice cream?
I don't see how you've made a post lamenting the Bonner-hate on this board but now you're hating on Blair. Bonner is a good player, but we saw how he performed in a starting role. Blair actually has the potential to be a starter in this league, and played well in his rookie season. I think if you have to compare a first year player with a fifth year player, you pretty much have your answer. Matt Bonner has probably almost hit his ceiling while Blair still has a ways to go. Either way, you don't have to hate one to like the other.
Blair is only 6-6? shiiiiiiiit my bad then...still, I'd rather have him as a defender. Bonner is invisible on defense
Unfortunately, with the long-term re-signing of Bonner, precious playing time for Blair will go to the red-headed playoff choker. Blair is everything Bonner isn't - tough, physical, gritty. If Spurs need a 3 in the playoffs, give me Duncan or even Parker before Bonner (because I know he'll miss it).

Blair's standing reach is an inch more than Bonner's. Again, listed height has nothing to do with anything.
, if you say so...I will take a 7 footer with 7'2 reach over a 6'6 player with 7'2 reach with the same skillset anyday..
Lets talk about this next time Blair can make 4-6 3pt shots in a game....They are completely different players so how can compare the two. Bonner can score the basketball but we all know rebounding is blairs game.
Blair Playoffs: 55% FG, 54% FT, 7.8 PTS, 6.4 REBS, .8 AST, .6 STLS, .5 BLKS, 18.2 MPG
Bonner Playoffs: 43% FG, 1.000% FT, 5 PTS, 3.2 REBS, .4 AST, .1 STLS, .3 BLKS, 17.3 MPG
Bonner is also a career 31% 3PT shooter in the playoffs, so there are not a lot of those 4-6 nights in there.
I really don't hate Bonner but those Bonner lovers are ing annoying.
2 reasons people hate about Bonner resigning:
1st - He will get minutes from Blair and Splitter.
2nd - Even thought he is a good 3PT shooter, he can't ing deliver in a playoff game.
A choker doesn't fit in the Spurs. We are one of the best organizations in the NBA and if the guy can't deliver in the playoffs, he should not play here. END OF STORY
Where the did you get blair playoff numbers?
blair playoffs: 50% fg, 55% ft, 3.7pts, 3.9 rebs, 9 mpg

Good try though...
I got his regular season numbers when I copied, not the playoffs. Does not change the fact Bonner is a playoff choker.
And you win the award for longest reach with the above post, since they don't have the same skillset, don't have the same reach, and Bonner's 6'10".
Blair Playoffs: 50% FG, 55.6% FT, 3.7 PTS, 3.9 REBS, .5 AST, .5 STLS, .4 BLKS, 9.1 MPGWhere the did you get blair playoff numbers?
blair playoffs: 50% fg, 55% ft, 3.7pts, 3.9 rebs, 9 mpg

Good try though...
Bonner Playoffs: 43% FG, 1.000% FT, 5 PTS, 3.2 REBS, .4 AST, .1 STLS, .3 BLKS, 17.3 MPG
So in half of the number of playoff minutes that Bonner gets, Blair gets more rebounds, more assists, more steals, more blocks and 1.3 points less per game. Well, that just got me more upset! We won't even mention the most important thing - valuable playoff experience that went to the choker instead of Blair.

lol@ bonner over blair
What are you talking about? Please show me where I have stated I would take Bonner over Blair? Your statement of "Height measurements are useless" is pretty lame. Right now, Noah vs. Blair (both players with 7'2 reach), who would you take right now?And you win the award for longest reach with the above post, since they don't have the same skillset, don't have the same reach, and Bonner's 6'10".
Time for you to check the thread le, genius. If you weren't talking about Bonner or Blair, then why the did you bother posting? And Noah and Blair don't have the same experience or the same skillset. Stated again: two guys with identical standing reach and identical skills are exactly the same, even if one is six inches taller.
Look, I like blair, but to say he clearly outplayed Bonner is pretty funny. I watched every game from the 2009/2010 playoffs and Blair was far from being a big inside presence.
Link to where I said Blair was some big inside presence? Blair was a rookie and got sporadic minutes. He still out produced Bonner per minute.
He is clearly better than Bonner all around.
Bonner has a history of being a playoff choker and his only asset (3 PT shooting) disappears in the playoffs. That is what this question is about and making your points about Bonner is just a passive way of choosing Bonner in this scenario it appears.
