[ABM]

I thought all of the, so-called, pundits had shied away from him due to his degenerative knee condition?

How does SA get so friggin' lucky?!

I was looking here:

He was shown in the "who's hot" section.

Just made me mad.....especially in light of our backup PF needs.

gotcha. Sorry carry on people

Blair has a 14.7 PER and a WS of 1.0 for one of the better teams in the league. What is odd is that he starts for the Spurs, but plays only 20 mpg. Either he is off to a slow start, or teams have scouted him and helped offset his obvious rebounding strengths.

Blair has been pretty bad this year if I remember correctly.

Blair's PER was hovering around 2 after the first couple weeks of the season and the small-sample size morons were declaring his career over. He's obviously been playing better lately to pull his PER up to a respectable 14.7 and the Spurs have won 11 in a row with him as their starting PF.

He had a slow start, that's all. It happens.

He's a solid role player. People shouldn't expect great things from him, but just enjoy him for what he is.

Maxiell?

I love his game. He reminds me of what Bass did with Dallas...... wow has he disapeared in Orlando or what?

 

[BrianFromWA]

I'm kind of impressed by the 104-out-of-104 games played. No one on our team can say that right now.

I was pissed when Portland passed on him for Pendergraph and Cunningham. Could go either way at this point

I was pissed when we passed on him for Claver. Still am. This team needed a solid back-up power forward much more than yet another euro-stash. Still does.

Why the fuck did we draft Claver?

Why the fuck did we draft Claver?

KP (i.e. PA/Vulcan) thought we were set and didn't want to pay 1st round money at that point?
