Can I get some love for Blair?

[LaMarcus Bryant]

I still think the Laker and (when Perkins gets back) Celtic frontcourts are the absolute worst matchups in the league for him. Mad props to him for tonight, but I think that the odds of him going 17 and 15 against the Lakers again are about equal to the odds of Tim going for 2 and 4 again.

No doubt. As fun as this win was tonight, I just hope Blair can be "solid" if we get into a series with the Lakers. Solid Blair is still pretty damn positive. Invisible Blair makes me wish he gets traded.

17 and 15? Mad love to DB.

I agree with you.

But isn't it strange that two of DeJuan's very best games have come against Boston last season and this LA game just passed?

I like how he didn't just settle behind Gasol. He used his strength to keep Gasol from establishing good position and then used his quickness to get around and deflect and steal the ball. It's smart play because once Gasol catches it against Blair, his strength and speed mean little and his height gets exposed.

It's risky and likely to backfire but if he can make it work, he can be effective against LA, like today.

Bumping this thread al-freaking-ready. One quarter in and Blair is dominating.

and pop rewards him by benching him.

Good game for Blair, great energy and good job on D, especially on rotations

Not a big front court. Blair does well against OKC. Well is an understatement.
