Around SBN: VIDEO: Austin Rivers' Buzzer Beater Finishes Off UNC

"I think its the perfect situation for me. All the teams that didnt pick me I’m gonna make you regret it. I’m with the Spurs. I can’t wait to get down there to San Antonio."

DeJuan Blair's Twitter - Last night, right after the draft.

Hell yeah.

"We suck on 'D. Both individually and team-wise, we suck. We're pretty consistent that way. I don't know if I have an answer to that. If I did, we wouldn't suck quite so bad." - Popovich

I pretty much knew after the Nuggets past up Blair and the Spurs took him that he'd be a dangerous man.

Like they said over and over on the telecast … REBOUNDING in college translates to the NBA and Blair now has a major chip on his shoulder.

The Spurs are looking good.

Yes

I belevie blair well have enough skillls to conturbte to our team as soon as the sesason starts. All though im not seeign us get off to such a hot start. With RJ and the new players who probaly be coming. They need time to get adjust but come all star break i think they well have there rotation set.

Nice find. I’m loving his step back jumper. He’s a stone cold sniper. Jack-um!

That 3-on-1 step-back 3? Dayum!

Pop might bench him for the rest of his life if he does that.

thing is, that’s a 2 on 1 rebound opportunity

pretty sure I’ve seen Manu do that once or twice, also they needed every point that he could muster for them that night.

I want my Manu

Manu has done it many times. Horry, too. But they’re Manu and Horry. Completely different situations in Pop’s mind.

I love how you can see right into his thought process. Can you shed some light on why he decided to go with a beard this year?

Pop or Manu??

Good point — David was speaking for what our beloved coach would think in a hypothetical 3 on 1 fast break, which made me wonder about the motivation behind Pop’s hirsute visage.

So, LD, your powers of understanding Pop’s mind, please enlighten us all as to why he decided to stop shaving.

by J.R. Wilco on Jun 27, 2009 2:09 AM CDT up reply actions  

He thought his face was too expressive when clean-shaved.

I can see that

You definitely get the feeling with Pop that he’s constantly trying to find ways to show less emotion. Like he’s in the film room, breaking down tape … of his last press conference. And he has a consultant with him who’s pointing out things. “Ahh, right there – back it up, right there! See? Just after he asks you whether you’d every consider trading Tony, there’s a tiny little twitch over by the left side of your mouth. You’ve got to watch that!”

Based on that video and his cowboy sounding name, i think the nickname gunslinger fits him perfectly.
