Gregg Popovich on Tiago Splitter:
"Tiago is going to give you that every night. He's going to bust his butt to rebound and play defense. He's going to give you that grunt that every team needs and every coach loves."

Won't be easy but we can definitely win this!
Next 4 games will show some serious resilience if we can gut them out without Timmy!

Yep. I dont see why not.
Not having Duncan is a bad thing but it shouldn't matter too much that they cant win without him. Well at least to teams like the Nuggets and the Hawks.

Denver is a tough matchup for the Spurs defensively. They have a lot of long bodies that can score. The good news is that the Nuggets aren't that great defensively (they allow the most ppg of any WC playoff team). The Spurs will have to play above par team D and uptempo offense to win this game. Tony and Manu will both have to have big games and Blair/McDyess/Splitter will have to play focused defense to make up for Duncan's absence. RJ, Hill or Neal will have to be an X factor.
Should be a fun game to watch.

as everyone else, i wanna see Splitter play and play well hopefully. it'll be interesting to see how tired he gets since he's not really even in game shape and he's playing at a higher altitude. he's also playing against a physical front line. it'll be interesting to see how he handles himself, if he gets intimidated or not. it's definitely an opportunity for him to make a statement.
DesignatedT
03-23-2011, 03:16 PM
Splitter is well out of game shape. The altitude should give him some problems also. Not sure how many minutes he can handle at the moment. Hopefully around 25. He played that last game and was clearly fatigued leading to missed layups and him slowly getting back on D. Throwing him out there for anymore then that right off the bat isn't the right thing to do for him or the team.

im just hoping the officials let him be somewhat physical out there. he picked up 2-3 bs calls against the Warriors.
I think he'll start and probably play 20-25 minutes i hope. Pop's baby'd him all season long. I say just throw him out there and see if sinks or swims.

Should be interesting to see if he can keep with a very improved Nene since they play together on the brazillian national team and all.

Would be nice to win this one comfortably, but .500 ball gets us HCA...that said, I think we go something like 8-4 to finish the season, and rest the starters for the last 2-3 games.

im much more confident about this game than the Portland game. I actually think we go 2-1 on the trip with victories tonight and against Memphis.
i always enjoy when the Denver crowd boos Manu. They hate him down there especially since he was close to being a Nugget.
I think Bonner is due for a good 3-pt shooting game.
He hasn't had one in quite some time now.

They hate him because he kicks their ass.
BTW, how scary deep is this team when the tenth and eleventh guys are capable of leading the team in scoring and/or rebounding? If only they had a backup point guard. Is it too late to pick up AD?

Since I have been wanting to see Splitter get time, and since I think the Spurs are better defensively with him in the rotation, and since I think the Spurs can't get past the Lakers or the Celtics without some lock-down defense, I think this couldn't be a better turn of events. It's too bad that Timmy had to get hurt, and I certainly wish Pop were smart enough to realize that defense has been buttering his bread all these years, but short of that, I'll take a little divine intervention. :)

Exactly. I think most people assume that Pop really meant he'll be back in 5 games. I see it as 8 games max. Either way, as long as he's back with a couple of games left, we should be fine.
duncan228
03-23-2011, 09:20 PM
Duncan will miss 4 or 5 games 'for sure'. We wait it out to see when he'll actually get back.
..."Once he gets back on the court in a couple of days, we’ll be able to tell more,” Popovich said. “But four or five games for sure.”

Give Tiago some time. He is right there. Playing well overall, just has to convert that. Tim misses a ton of chip shots as well. Our bigs just aren't elite finishers.

That's what I have always attributed it to but it's still pretty early in the game. He misses a lot of shots around the rim.

He came in with those awful, low, half-flip-shots, and now he's at least got the proper form on the hook. With an offseason of work on it I think it'll be markedly better next year.

It's not going to help us this year, but this offseason I think Timmy and the coaches will put him through a low-post clinic. All he needs is a reliable hook and a counter, say an up-and-under. A drop step would also be nice.

TP's touch on the teardrop is exceptional. Whenever he gets within 10ft of the rim he just flips it up there and rarely sees anything but net. Remember in his first two seasons how he couldn't finish at the rim? Now he can layup with either hand and tear-drop from 10ft in. Amazing. Here's to you, TP. :toast
