If he does not play in any more SL games, then we can suspect contract neg. issues.
The fouls were divided 30-30 with lots of bad calls on both ends. I think Denver got the better of them but it probably was close. The problem is that these refs called 1.5 fouls/minute. That makes the game entirely unwatchable. Dear God do we need Simmons ref academy because if any of these refs are the future;
ian has already showed a great improvement just from game 1 to game 2, if he can keep his fouling down he has the potential to be a great player
Also, first post. Gotta love australian schools allowing me on forums
can this thread go for 50 pages
Agreed. We'll probably know one way or the other on thursday.
Mahinmi's reaction in his interview when asked "Was this your first career triple double?" was priceless!
So I couldn't really tell did Hill guard Lawson most of the night or did he guard the 2's also?
I'll add a post just to help it along.
Ahem,
Ian Mahinmi looked great out there. George Hill also looked great. Also, the refs were horrible.
Dunno. Wanna talk about Booner?
Just heard that Blair sitting is definitely contract related. Perhaps not 100% but it factored into him sitting.
booner for that boozer fellow
Classic!
Sure. That guy will be great for us coming off the bench. As in, I hope someone takes him off of the end of our bench.
Have you heard if it's Spurs sitting him or his agent?
Damn. HW might be right for once? I guess I'll have to eat
I don't like this kobesque I'm a spoiled rookie I do what I want .
Blair just lost faith points and he hasn't even suited up for a real game yet. What kind of pussy are you making yourself out to be if you're worried about getting your pay day as a second rounder during summer league?
Lasme is better than Gist
Well, that was enough to get by against Kobe once upon a time...
That is what most people suspected. Prob. on the agents end.
Most unfortunate.
His voice even sounds deeper after this effort.
A bit of a Mutombo cackle at the mention of his "triple double."
Blair would be crazy to play another minute without a contract. He made his point (and his money) last game.
Mahinmi sounds like a blacker, taller, younger version of tony parker....why is that?
Having him sit out was an agreement between the Spurs and his agent. Supposedly prior to the game, Blair wasn't even told the reason why he wasn't going to play. As of right after the game, Blair was still out of the loopn
I'm guessing he'll learn about it now. And it sounds like both sides are confident Blair will suit up again before summer league is over. Perhaps as soon as next game.
I was one of the people down on Ian last game. Not one of the ones wanting him waived or traded but was disappointed.
Not tonight though. He really showed what he is capable of and hopefully he can continue that with the SL play.
For me so far, Beck is ahead of McClinton and Hairston is way ahead of Gist in terms of who I'd like to see make the roster.
I like what I see in Lasme but I just don't see any space for him.
