Wow-Splitter!

[mchammer]

Taking charges, awesome on P&R, blocking shots, showing toughness, even hitting free throws! The post-Duncan era doesn't look so bad. And I think we may have a shot at the Lakers this year.

[SCdac]

he's a solid big man that's for sure. great basketball instincts, and tough to boot.

[MmP]

he's only 25? wow
manu's rookie year flashes

[NickiRasgo]

So, no more Scola thread? lol

[Frenchise player]

It's just like Sean Elliott says, he knows how to play basketball. I love his help defense in particular.

[alchemist]

Manu/Tony + Splitter combo = :wow

[MaNu4Tres]

He needs to be playing 20-25 minutes a night PERIOD.

18 points (7/10 shooting)
5 rebounds - (That's because most of the uncontested defensive rebounds were whored by the guards.)
2 assists
2 steals
2 blocks

Great game Tiago :toast

[ducks]

why so he can get a bigger contract then scola

[Pauleta14]

Manu/Tony + Splitter combo = :wow

The next Big3...

[peskypesky]

so glad to see Tiago coming along. Spurs have really needed another big.

Enter Tiago Splitter

Agreed. The main thing I'm impressed with so far (very similar to Oberto) is his ability to move without the ball and give the penetrating guard a good option when the defense collapses. He needs to finish a bit stronger though. Some of those little layups aren't going to work against physical bigs.

[Frenchise player]

His first big test will come Monday against Dwight Howard. Pop will need him in this match up and I'm curious to see how Tiago handles himself both on the offensive and defensive side of the ball.

This is why a few of us were pissed at Splitter getting 2 DNP's in a row at the expense of Bonner.

It was great to have Bonner have some hot shooting-but Tiago getting DNP's should NEVER happen if the spurs are to have a chance at number 5 IMO.

[DPG21920]

Guys, he will play when he plays. When it's appropriate. This isn't that hard to grasp.

[ChumpDumper]

It was two games.

[mchammer]

I think Pop was being very cautious and not rushing him back from injury, esp. since he played over the summer. Also, seems like Pop was right- hhe doesn't need too much time to integrate - appeared like he was almost always in the right place.

[TheSpurglar]

It was great to have Bonner have some hot shooting-but Tiago getting DNP's should NEVER happen if the spurs are to have a chance at number 5 IMO.

We (Spurs fans) have no clue whatsoever why Tiago missed the last two games. He could have been ailing, Pop might have wanted to get Bonner back into game shape, etc. etc. We just have no clue. To say Splitter should never have a DNP-CD for any reason is kinda ridiculous.

[Vito Corleone]

Season is a marathon not a sprint, he has plenty of time to get his minutes in. I'd rather see him playing big minutes in March rather than now. playing him in small amounts now gets him in shape without taxing his body too much. He has never played an 82 game season before, nor has he had much rest over the summer.

I think Pop is handling his minutes very well.

Splitter breaks out as Spurs keep rolling (http://blog.mysanantonio.com/spursnation/2010/11/21/splitter-breaks-out-as-spurs-keep-rolling/)
Jeff McDonald

...With coach Gregg Popovich looking to save his starters’ minutes early, Splitter got a call in the first quarter, and ultimately contributed in a way he had not throughout the Spurs’ longest winning streak in two-plus years.

He finished with a season-high 18 points, made 7 of 10 shots — most of them layups off pick-and-rolls — grabbed five rebounds and a pair of steals, and made two blocks. All in a season-high 26 minutes, 28 seconds.

The last time Splitter had played or produced as much, he was winning MVPs for Caja Laboral in Spain.

“I was ready for this, to have my chance to play my basketball,” Splitter said.


...“He’s as efficient a player as I’ve seen,” Popovich said. “He’s always in the right place.”

Pretty much what I have stated the last few days for the Tiago cliff jumpers...marathon, not a sprint. Tiago had a hell of a night. Glad to see it, as he makes me very excited in my pants. :lol But to be serious, he did very well on both sides of the court and I trust Pop to make the right call. Tonight he did. Hopefully Tiago will be big part of our rotation towards the end of the year and into the playoffs.

[greyforest]

pop has no choice but to use tiago extensively in the playoffs. he is going to be a nightmare for opposing frontcourts on defense. book it.

[Bukefal]

This is awesome! great night Splitter :tu

[awktalk]

Splitter needs to put on about 20 LBs of muscle and develop a mid-range shot. Until he does that, he's just average.

Great game from Splitter, wish I could have seen the game. :cuss

Looking forward to seeing him play 25+ minutes again when the spurs play their next back to back, which, um.. would be Dec 16 against the nuggets.

Till then, hope he likes getting Bonner's leftover minutes.

[romsho]

It was two games.

True, but it isn't the individual game performance or the numbers. His basketball IQ combined with his size, athletic ability and defensive skills bring something to table the Spurs have not had in a long time. I could care less that it's two games. Not fools gold.

Good point about not having played 82 games. That's the best reason I've seen regarding his lack of playing time. I wouldn't want him to hit the rookie wall towards the end of the season.

[eisfeld]

I wouldn't be surprised if Splitter's minutes vary over the next couple of games. 10 here, 15 there, 20+ the next night. He's still getting in game shape and has to adjust to the system. What he showed already is very promising but when he starts to struggle a bit those threads will go away and the Splitter is soft threads will emerge.

I have admitted before I was wrong about Splitter, and to be fair I made those comments about him tongue-in-cheek for the most part.

As for T squared, he's ballin' right now. I'd still love to see him in a spurs uniform once McDyess retires and a roster spot becomes available.

[Rummpd]

Can't wait to bend this bitch over.

Darko M bitch slapped the LAL last night and if he had any talent around him the Wolves would have won.

Dear LAL fan be very afraid the perfect storm is coming as the Spurs surge and the LAL regress to the mean. The difference in talent between the two teams was never as much as LAL fan presumes and if both teams healthy the LAL should be favored but the gap is narrowing and the Spurs with Anderson/Splitter and Neal now onboard definetely have the potential to beat the LAL and make Byrant really cry again.

Good post. Splitter will have his ups and downs in minutes and in his overall play.

[silverblk mystix]

It was two games.

It was two games, and if you read the article, Tiago was receiving advice from Manu on the plane-on why Tiago wasn't playing. So evidently, this was troubling Tiago to some extent.

So hopefully it was a matter of Pop concerned about proper healing of Tiago's injury-and NOT some kind of Pop head game-due to Tiago being a rookie.

How often have we seen a rookie come in and make things happen with minimal mistakes? I can only compare it to Manu's rookie year.

Tiago will be a pretty special player, and if the spurs had just won titles the past two seasons,then I would say Pop is completely right in his handling of Tiago.

The Spurs had fallen off quite a bit for numerous reasons, but they are looking promising again, so this would seem like an opportunity for Pop to really emphasize the importance of Tiago to the teams chances rather than minimize his importance.

If the Spurs were heading towards the lottery this season I'd agree with your post. No matter if Splitter plays or not - they'll make the playoffs anyway. I'd rather see his minutes limited at the beginning of the season then him struggling at the end.

I love what I saw from Tiago, and that's what I expected. Hopefully we get to see him play minutes like last night from now on instead of some yo yo effect in minutes from Pop. And hopefully he ends up a starter.

Really enjoyed watching him play. The way our team is playing, and if we continue to improve our defense, and Tiago ends up starting and contributing like last night, then we have a great chance of competing with LA :tu

Never said that and no, I'm not an idiot.

What I did say was that Pop should emphasize his importance-not try to minimize it.
Such as when Pop stated, ``anyone thinking that Tiago is coming here and is going to average 20 points,etc.... should realize that what he does is the little things,rebound,blah,blah...''

This is the definition of pre-judging IMO.

How the fuck does anyone know what Tiago can or cannot do? Instead of being open to maybe Tiago being great-Pop is already presuming that Tiago will just be a role player.

That to me is minimizing his importance when he doesn't have to.

[timtonymanurich]

All this talk about Splitters minutes; Spurs fans recognize! Pops the one who has won 4 Titles, not us. Pop knows what he's doing, not us. We fans have the luxury of saying both before and after the result and/or outcome of a game what we coulda-woulda-shouda done. Pops usually right 90-100% of the time. Ease offa him.

Yes, all laker fans are gay

[wildbill2u]

Coming off his successful award winning year in Europe, Tiago was probably a little mystified as to why a 6'6" center who wasn't playing well was ahead of him in the rotation.

As Pop said, he knows how to play, knows where to be in the scheme, and is one of the smartest basketball IQs around for a young big.

He needs to start and get in NBA shape asap. He will vastly improve this team by improving the players around him.

Another Spurs steal in the draft.

[silverblk mystix]

Faulty thinking.

How so?

And what is your opinion, since you seem to exist only to poke holes in everyone else's opinions,arguments, theories-everything.

What is your opinion on Splitter ....his performance...his playing time and lack of playing time?

You also seem to defend every single thing, every single decision that Pop makes...so what is your opinion of Pop and his handling of Splitter so far?

This way at least everyone knows where you stand since 99.999% of your posts are to poke holes in anything anyone has to say.

[ChumpDumper]

I think Pop wanted to ease Splitter in since he played so much this summer.

I think he will continue to monitor his minutes just as he has in the past for any player he felt was in a similar situation.

Splitter plays well, but is in shitty shape and has a history of little injuries that keep him out of games, including this season already. Those are additional factors limiting his playing time.

It's pretty simple. I don't know the exact number of minutes he should be playing, but there seems to be a logic to Pop's approach. I don't really give too much of a shit if people approve of my opinion.

Do you have any more questions about where I stand?

[jjktkk]

You misinterepted what Pop's meaning was. The reason Splitter will not put up consistant 20/10 games, is Splitter will not have the offense run thru him, or be a #1 scoring option. And starting out Tiago will be a role player. That doesn't mean Tiago won't improve and become a good enough player where Pop will start running more plays for him. If Pop told the media, "I expect Tiago to average 20/10 and dominate in the post, thats putting unnecessary pressure on Tiago. IMO Splitter's role will gradually increase to the point where he can start, or at the very least be the top bigman reserve. It might not fully happen this season, but Splitter looks like hes gonna be a very, very, good player.

Makes sense, but here's another take;

If you don't want to praise him or predict that he will be a good or great player-then that is understandable since you don't want to set him up to fail.
To say that he WON'T be a 20/10 player...BEFORE...he even plays is not exactly encouraging either, IMO.
I would argue that it would be preferable to not make any comments than to make comments which seem to minimize him as a player.

On the contrary. Pop hasn't minimized Splitter. When asked about Spitter's play against Cleveland last night Pop commented,
“He’s as efficient a player as I’ve seen,” Popovich said. “He’s always in the right place.” That doesn't sound like Pop minimizing Splitter at all. I think thats the proper way to go with dealing with a rookie, albeit, Splitter's a different type of rookie. It would put undue pressure on Splitter, if the media and we as fans place annoint Splitter as the Spurs next great big man. Let Splitter continue to grow and learn the Spurs system.

[silverblk mystix]

Please, suggesting I start my own thread where only people who agree with me post is the epitome of butthurt.

Don't really wish to re-hash but you suggested that If I thought that Pop didn't think Tiago was important-then I was an idiot.

Again, it wasn't what I had said and you calling anyone an idiot says nothing about that person. All it says is that you like to name-call. So be it. I don't see myself losing any sleep over it.

I did try to clarify that I never said Pop thought Tiago unimportant..and then it became a back and forth that did not accomplish much, so continuing seems pointless.

Now, you are labeling me as a whiner...and again...all it says is that you like to label people. So be it. The sun will probably rise tomorrow regardless of whatever other insult you decide to hurl.

He does not need to bulk up.
