wow dejuan blair

[LC AAU]

I saw Thabeet miss two free throws while taking a picture of the description of the Grizzlies and Pistons game.

...how did he slip to the 2nd round?

 

[LC AAU]

His ACL's.

...how did he slip to the 2nd round?

later on in the season you will see hopefully he doesnt get injured but the spurs dont just have 1 player with bad old feeble knees

 

[ralaw]

Typical for Pops he isn't going to play his key guys a lot of minutes so that they'll be fresh for the playoffs. Blair lost a lot of weight and looks good out there and playing only 20 minutes or less a night should be good for his knees.

The Spurs have the best depth in the NBA. Just look at the key players that come off the bench: Ginobili, Mason, Hill, Blair and McDyess. This is gonna be a tough team to beat, don't care if we play the Lakers or the Celtics.

true i think they have the best bench in the league, bench looked great last night

Low ceiling. What you see is what you get.

High injury risk.

Not a very potent jumpshot.

Good thing I picked him in a 12 man Fantasy BBall league with friends. Got him in the last round. Nice Double Double last night. The Spurs always find a way to get a steal.

 

[BUCK3YE5]

i was pretty upset when the cavs drafted a fuckin spear chucker and not him

 

[Archer]

2pts 1to 0rebounds 2fouls at the half

I guess he is back down on earth

 

[Archer]

WOW, this is like the lamest post I've ever seen. Is that suupposed to mean that if a player is good he is not gonna have a bad game? Plus Blair has Duncan, Ginobili, Parker, Jefferson and other couple players who are better than him. The Spurs don't have to expect a double double from Blair every night.

WOW , I somewhat said all that ? Shocking . People have been talking all week (not just this thread) like the kid is the second coming of jesus christ and everybody who passed on him is an idiot after 1 game

If he is god after one game , I will say he sucks after one game .

He is neither but it just goes to show how making a dick sucking thread after one or two games is fucking retarded

I wasn't the only person who pointed his performance out in the chatbox tonight either ..... go enjoy your Spurs losing

Orlando and Boston disagree on your depth

all the blair love is pretty crazy, sure he will be a solid roleplayer in the league, but does anyone really expect him to be anything else but that? the love he is getting is pretty crazy

 

[Archer]

I believe this thread was made in the pre-season. Blair has been impressive when he gets some time on the floor but that tonight wasn't the factor. Blair is a steal in the draft especially if he was a projected TOP 10 pick. Spurs really don't have anything to lose if he goes down because I believe others can take over but he does make our team better when he is out there.

Exactly

Making a thread based on one or two pre-season games is about as useful as me mocking him for having one bad game in the regular season

You should see how "lulzworthy" you attacking me for mocking a guy after one game is when it's in a thread that sucked his dick for one or two good games

That made no sense. So at that point he was 1/1 from the field and did his job. He only had 4 minutes then. Now he is 2/2 4 points and 2 rebounds after 11 minutes. Honestly that doesn't say anything at all. All that says is that he didn't get many touches or too much playing time. The whole thing with Dejuan Blair is that he was a great pick for where the Spurs got him. He could become a nice starter in a year or 2 and be an average player and possibly average a double double. He hasn't shown one sign of a bad game as of yet where he may go like 2/9 from the field. You can't say a statement like that after a player had limited touches. The hype is true it is just that a couple of people are taking it out of proportion.

EDIT: 3/3 6 points 4 rebounds. Yeah that is terrible for a guy picked in the 2nd round...

 

[Sean]

Spurs just played like crap tonight, TD really the only Spur scoring, Blair will come out play like his first game, maybe better eventually

He got 4minutes because he had two fouls :facepalm: (in the 1st half)

Or is that part of his job too?

Yeah but the way you expressed yourself in that post was pointless. You put his stats out there like he was a #1 pick like Blake Griffin, but he wasn't and people expect a lot more from Griffin than Blair. Griffin is expected to drop 15-20 points and grab 10+ boards every game. Blair isn't and he doesn't have to so when he gets a double-double, it's impressive especially for a bench player and being a rookie on a good team like the Spurs.

My post? My whole point was to show how his stats aren't expected to be that great of someone picked in the 2nd round so of course he isn't going to get many touches. Jesus you just reiterated what I said...

Blake Griffin did not get his own dicksucking thread after one game ... (that I can see) Griffin did not get every person in the chatbox saying "I bet Gms feel st00pid for passing on Blair .... duh duh duh" .

 

[Primetime]

I don't think Blair will do much this year. The only way he's going to get his points is off 2nd chance points from getting the offensive board. That was the only reason he had 14 points in the opener, with 10 of them coming from 5 offensive rebounds. I agree with Archer, he's a role player and the hype wasn't necessary.

 

[Archer]

They should feel stupid because when he gets a chance its an automatic double-double. The guy is a beast...

That's if he manages to not foul out or lose his knees in that time
