Blair playing the Spurs will be a beautiful thing for the Spurs.![]()
I think Blair is gonna try too hard to make an impact against us and hurt himself. Might as well let Baynes shut him down.. Blair doesn't deserve to get blocked repeatedly by Timmy.

I can see him doing well against us as our front line is not what most call physical. But with that said he gets blocked several times and dallas still loses.
The best team in the league coming to town and cuba has to promote the game months ahead of time.
Blair will have a huge game against the Spurs, pound his chest, tweet about it, etc. Then he'll go back to averaging 4 rebounds per game and playing terrible defense.
Wish Blair the best. He is a limited player with no ACLs and the fact that he has survived in the NBA so far is good for him. He was a liability for the Spurs; hopefully he will contribute to the Mavs as they miss the playoffs again this season.
Cuban has built a large part of the Mavs iden y around the Spurs as the bad guys. The spurs get mentioned is timeout jingles and animated bits throughout the game. It's good stuff, he's a smart man
I bet there are many big men in the nba salivating at the thought of going up against mr Blair. Imagine him trying to defend Tiago on the PnR or try stop Timmy hitting 20 bank shots.
Good luck to Blair. I don't wish him ill will but I am glad he's off the team.
We saw what a motivated Blair can do his rookie season when he wanted to prove all the teams that passed on him how wrong they were. No doubt he's going to be motivated to play the Spurs because he feels slighted by Pop for not getting playing time.
But we also saw what happens when he doesn't get his way. Overweight and emo tweets. Contract year rolls around and he gets in probably the best shape of his career. I hate when players do that.
So maybe he'll have a banner year or maybe it'll be another ho hum season. I don't really care. The important thing is he's no longer on the Spurs and they can move forward with other players.
Successful troll job is successful.
I am really scared...
Blair's one of those guys who gets up for a single matchup for personal reasons, and then coasts the rest of the time. That's why he's not on the team anymore. The Mavs might actually win one of the games against the Spurs this year thanks to Blair playing with passion that one time. The Mavs can have their parade the next day.
Worst post you've graced us with in some time.
Barkley is a top 50 NBA, Blair is not a top 50 Spur.
splitter/diaw/bonner = non rebounders .................. blair will dominate all 3 finesse players who are not used to banging in the post............................
Diaw rebounds moderately well for a back-up tweener forward, at 3.4 per game last year. For a back-up center Blair's 3.8 per game isn't that awesome either.

DPG i agree theres no need to bash former Spurs when it isnt warranted. But DeJuan has been a whiny ever since Pop realised he had no chance of ever developing a jump shot or any brains for that matter, and rightly removed him from the rotation.
He openly pouted numerous times on twitter and in the media during his time with the team, not to mention after being traded.
Besides i think the Mavs are going to be in for a rude surprise with Blair. No lift anymore, no jumpshot, or any real basketball skills besides a nose for the ball, 6'5", and one of the dumbest players in the league. He will be out of the league in two years imo.
I thought that was a pulled tooth![]()
Beno!!!
Our biggest problem was rebounding. Blair is undersized. He wouldn't have won for us.
Keep talking loser, enjoy your mediocrity on a mediocre team.
Cuban is being Cuban. What more can you say? This is the same spoiled rich kid who bad mouthed the River Walk!
