A nice article about Pop wanting Blair to be himself on the court, and bring the old Blair back. "All players are different," Popovich said.

As the Spurs return to Dallas today for a matinee against the NBA champion Mavericks, the 22-year-old Blair remains on a path of self-rediscovery. Blair sums up Popovich’s "just be who you are" order in two words: "Energy and rebounding."
