they know the system
Our second unit bigs are very scary right now. when we throw blair out there with diaw we are very very limited!! why have we been so hard headed to fix this?
Bonner played well, tbh
Nothing to worry about. In the playoffs Timmy and Tiago will see a big increase in minutes. Bonner or Blair will play a max 5 min/game
only took 2 minutes for Bonner to let OKC get a 10 point run fueled off Perkins fastbreaks and Nick Collison putbacks
failure to integrate Baynes can be the death of the team
even if the Spurs do fight back the 2 minutes are on the court give the other team all the confidence in the world which you cant recover from
It's basically dividing 92 minutes between TD, Splitter, Diaw and Jackson (who i suggest will play some 4) as the main 4. TD+Splitter= 65 to 70min. Diaw will play 10-15min. That leaves Jackson and the rest of the bigs with around 15min.
Yep. Bonner (in small doses) is a good change-up during a game.
Baynes needs to sit on the bench for three years before he's ready to play. Somehow that makes a player good.
Haven't you heard sitting on the bench is the best way to learn the system in real game situations.
baynes right now could do what blair does and more!!
Wouldn't be fair to the team
I don't post much, just follow you guys a lot. But I don't understand something. I never thought BAYNES was going to play much this year anyway. But it seems like the rest of you did.....BAYNES won't get any burn until next year when BLAIR departs.
True but still sad. He can do that an then more like someone else stated. I wonder whats the ing wait everytime I see Blair or Diaw an Bonner. No knock on them, but that lineup sucks.
Yep, with Blair or Matt getting a few matchup/tactical minutes game by game.
This. You can't waste playoff minutes. You have to keep the defensive pressure for the full 48 minutes. Letting the other team get confidence is a bad idea.
Baynes would actually be playing right now if the Spurs were able to dump Blair like they have been for the past 2 years
but hes so bad no team wanted him for even a second round pick
Ah, the contractual obligation minutes theory appears again on SpursTalk.
You guys work yourselves up so much about non-rotation players.
Lately it's usually only the first half Pop does that. Then in the 2nd half, you're seeing Diaw/Duncan/Splitter. Sometimes Bonner can come in and provide a spark, as can Blair. But Blair has been underwhelming in his limited minutes.
Pop lengthened the rotation last night. Normally it's Duncan and Splitter, with Diaw off the bench, paired with one of them. No idea why he was throwing Bonner and Blair out there with everyone healthy. He hasn't done that in ages.
I did like it when Pop moved Kawhi to the four to match with the undersized Millsap. That went better than Blair, and Millsap seems unused to guarding out to and beyond the arc.
Is it just me, or does Blair seem uninterested in playing to the point of intentionally committing 2-3 fouls in like 2 minutes game time his first rotation, lately.
