To me it was

He had no reason to move his leg like that.

No, i dont think so. He said that it was him reacting to the call and i can understand that. And blair doesnt have history as that type of guy. Unless we see this happens again, im gonna say i believe him when he said it was unintentional.

idk man, looking at that he could have kicked out on splitters torso a lot easier and less aggressive. He was probably pissed at the call but when you go swinging your feet around someone's head you can't really expect to get away with it.

It appears the league thought it was intentional because they suspended Blair for game 5.

I thought it was.

He had a head full of steam the whole game and it was shown a number of other times. Definitely meant to kick out in frustration. Probably lost his team the game and series too.

It certainly looked intentional, but I don't think it warrants a suspension. The ejection was enough to me.

Damn, I wanted Blair to get more minutes! Especially now that he would have really believed he was the answer to beating the Spurs

I hate the way Blair flails his fat body around against the Spurs because he feels like he has something to prove. His lying around on the floor and diving about needlessly is going to get one of our guys hurt. Hustle is one thing but diving around at people's knees going for a loose ball that you are never going to get to in a million years is dangerous.
I've played with the same bunch of guys for years at the local gym here. Everyone knows how to play and none of us are even close to NBA talent, but we all know how to play. There will always be some straggler who comes in that hasn't had much experience playing basketball but hustles and runs around like a chicken with his head cut off, diving around everywhere. Those guys get people hurt, I've seen it happen too many times. Blair plays like that guy.
As much as he sucks, I'm glad he is out. Lets get through this series without an injury if we can. If Dallas takes it from us, let it be because they played better.

Agreed. We gave him more chances in the four years he was here than any other team would of and instead of capitalizing on those opportunities he pissed them away and ate whataburger three times a day and now he acts like we did him wrong somehow.
