Yeah, he's certainly worse than Bonner, getting more rebounds in just over half the minutes.
I'm tired of his stupid play and lazy D. He thinks he's a start but he's just a scrub. This guy is too dumb to get minutes.
Worst starter in the league. Pop better wake up and start Tiago
Send Blair back to Russia

Blair is a ing re .
Blair is seriously worse than Bonner.. that gap is actually getting wider.
blair and bonner needs to gtfo
Blair just needs to quit making stupid plays. He's good enough to be a monster in this league, but his stupidity holds him back.
He has the ability to be a good passer, but he's a black hole most of the time, forcing up bad shots whenever he touches the ball. And I'm tired of him batting the ball out of bounds with one hand instead of going up with two hands for the rebound.
It's a toss up as to who's worse between Blair and Bonner.
After TD and Tiago we have nothing. Blair and Bonner would be 4th or 5th bigs in most of the teams
In other news, Mahinmi's on the floor to end the game for the Mavs. He has five fouls so that automatically means he can't play though.
He regressed back to his "I can take you 1-on-1" BS and of course he smiles at the refs when they call something on him when it was his own fault.
Blair is clearly a bench big. His weaknesses are less exploited and his strengths more pronounced, especially if the Spurs have a playmaker next to him in the second unit.
He should not start.
blair does alot of stupid in the game that cannot be explain, dump the ball down low to him, you will never see it dump out...
did pop gave him the right to roam free on t he offensive end chuckin up shots....
plays no defense, doesnt rebound
as for bonner, he might miss shots here and there, and gives up alot of points on the other end, but he usually makes shots when we need them....still better then blair
as for RJ, him and blair should go suck
Why not give Thomas a try? He's no savior but he has energy and hustle that Blair and Bonner wished they had. He's only played a few minutes and he's made a good impression.
Debatable whether Blair even deserves to be in the NBA, and yet Pop has visions of turning him into an NBA starter.
When Blair slips off the Spurs duds for the last time, his NBA career is most likely over (How many others on the current roster of which we could say the same? Therein lies the Spurs problem.)
A novelty act, ala Spud Webb.
Except he ain't as talented or as smart as Spud Webb.
Can't stand this guy, his defense is pathetic and on offense he's playing like a moron. Lets all hope Lorbek comes next year and we get some solid FA big.
Kind of hard to work on and improve intelligence. This is what Blair is - an undersized energy guy that will have several mental lapses a game. He can contribute, but not as a starter.
And while it's clear Splitter needs to start, the lack of frontcourt depth is a real issue. Does this mean we're back to Blair and Bonner off the bench? Or even worse, seeing stints with RJ at the 4 getting destroyed by guys like Patrick Patterson? There's just no easy rotation solution, and I think (or maybe hope) that is why Pop has been hesitant to insert Splitter as a starter.
what are you talking about, bonner is just as bad/worse, he just made a couple of shots tonight, he is not better than blair
Oh please oh please.

You start your best players. The FO has known about the lack of depth for a while.
But Pop has no qualms closing games with RJ playing SF?
I agree with the rest of your take though.
I did that trade on 2K12 about 3 months ago, but instead of Tony+Blair+Anderson, I did it for Tony+Bonner.
tbh, I rather keep Tony.
During his rookie season, Blair was as much of a beast on the glass, as he was in college. Now, I don't know where that skill has gone. As much as I've been rooting for him, it's obvious that he SHOULD NOT be a starter in this league. Watching him try to challenge Dalembert, and repeatedly getting stuffed was awful.
If the Spurs bench Blair, they are doomed. Just as Obstructed_View who conveniently only responds when Blair has a good game.
This is where I'm at.
Splitter has to start for the Spurs to do anything this year. Blair off the bench as the third big wouldn't be a disaster; he can guard bench bigs and his lack of size won't be too much of an issue next to either Duncan or Splitter. Bonner as a fourth big is fine.
If Duncan and Splitter combine for 60 minutes, Blair can play 15-20 minutes and Bonner can play the rest. There's no reason that can't work. And then in the playoffs, bump Duncan and Splitter up to about 70 minutes and let Blair OR Bonner fill in the rest. It'll be a three-man bigman rotation in the playoffs ... like it always is.
It's so damn obvious at this point. And, tbh, it was obvious before the season started.
