Time start Duncan and Splitter.
Blair should never attempt an unbalanced shot, put back rebounded shots, or go one on one against a defender. There was a time when I thought you cant trade this guy, but he's a liability on offense and defense.
Time start Duncan and Splitter.
Unless Pop can teach him to grow 5 inches it's Pop's fault.
is he on a contract year or some , why is his forcing to get his stats...
He's always unbalanced and leaning forward because he doesn't patiently, controllably keep his feet under him.
A bad habit, probably difficult to fix.
Spurs ain't doing , like make the playoffs, with Bonner, Blair, and RJ in the main rotation.
Speaking of putting back rebounds (didn't feel this really needed its own thread), that's a lesson to Kawhi needs to learn as well. He's got a decent touch around the basket and he's gotten a few buckets on putbacks, but every time he gets an offensive board in the paint, he always tries to go back up with it, even if he's totally in jail. I understand the Horry-mentality, but if you don't have chip shot after that board, you need to toss it out and run your some offense, otherwise it's just another wasted possession.
As disgusted as we are on Blairs play, Sure it needs its own thread to vent. Why vent on Blair on someone elses thread about Bonner? And you make absolute sense about every board he gets Blair rushes his put back surrounded by 3 or more defenders and never passes it out to run a new play. But K. Leonard has a higher IQ than Blair at this stage. Just terrible play.
By the way I love this new spurs team without Blair and Bonner. And instead of looking for a SF in the off season we should have concentrated on a Big.
Jefferson has no toughness in him AT ALL, but he's better than starting new on a new guy.
Starting 5 looks amazing
T. Parker
M. Ginobili (when he gets back)
K. Leonard
T. Splitter
T. Duncan

Parker, Ginobili, Leonard, Splitter, and Duncan sounds great and everything, but then you don't really have coming off the bench. Jefferson's got to step up if he became the 6th man.
Blair always looks like this at the beginning of the year then he comes back to life, Blair is a fat,undersized scrub who just throws up a prayer all the time is game is junk. And yeah he could defiantly get those stats on the Wizards, but not a winning team.
I think he is eligible for an extension after this season. Might be a season for the dumb plays and obvious stat padding.
He started off the season so well but has regressed since then. He desperately needs to refocus so that he can help this team.
I've said since day one that Blair has potential, but that seems to be the most commonly uttered phrase for players who never get over the hump.
With his missing ACLs and his weight and job duties, his years to improve aren't going to be nearly as many as an outside shooter. He could begin a downhill much sooner than anyone expects if his legs don't hold up.
Funny how much this site has fallen off of him. Regardless of whether it's warranted or not. Everyone used to be so excited about him.
I must say though, just looking at his Twitter account.. wow.
The new trend is to hate on anyone who is taking away Splitter minutes. And its probably justified, with the way he played last few games.Funny how much this site has fallen off of him. Regardless of whether it's warranted or not. Everyone used to be so excited about him.

Blame Pop. He's been bad at developing players the past few years. I am sure Blair with the right coaching could be more effective. I remember him being proud of the fact he had never coached Blair in his rookie season.
I think the dilemma here is that he has the starting Center position over Splitter and thus takes minutes away from Splitter. Id still love his youth on the spurs coming off the bench. But cmon, anyone with good reason (Pop) should see that pairing Splitter next to Duncan is a no brainer.
Cmon Pop do it now before its too late and our record is 36-30 and the 8th seed with Blair at Center.
Blair has potential, but until he has realized that potential he should be coming off the bench. I believe he should be there anyway since he lacks the height to defend the paint well. I realize he fell off a cliff last year when he went to the bench, but we can not leave him in the starting line up for fear of him quitting. He would fare much better battling opposing teams bench bigs.
I'm sure he doesn't practice unbalanced, just playing and reacting. I wouldn't look too much into it. If he was making them, you wouldn't call him out for lacking fundamentals.
I wonder if he's even an NBA player anymore.
Yikes.
your horrible...
Blair/Anderson for Jason Thompson please R.C?
It sucks that we have to start him because he acts like a pussy once he gets benched and starts eating fast food. It's pissing me off more that he thinks his spot is so safe that he can play like a dumbass while Tiago is actually fighting hard for playing time.
lowest BBIQ on the team and its not even close.
Blair has potential to be a stat-padder on a team like the Raptors or Bobcats..
He's undersized and has disturbingly low basketball IQ..he's one of the worst defensive players I've ever seen, in the frontcourt..he's always out of position or gambling..
He's constantly taking poor shots..instead of accepting a niche as a superior version of Reggie Evans, he tries to be Charles Barkley, which will lead to his eventual demise..
I agree. Save the dumb plays for pick-up games. Don't do that in the NBA!
He has let me down the last two years after a promising rookie year to say the least.
