Brazilian teammates Anderson Varejao and Leandro Barbosa will be unavailable due to injury.

So, Tiago is the only NBA'er on the squad since Nene withdrew. That's just fuckin' great, means they're going to run him into the ground.

God damn it, you better be fucking careful Tiago.

God damn it, you better be fucking careful Tiago.

It makes it that much for important for us to get another big man. Yes.....I'm well aware that at it's point it's easier said than done to get a quality PF/C.

[ducks]

he needs to see the floor to get better
can not hurt

[GB20]

he did not play that many minutes last year so i think this is good for him to get in shape and maybe he can put in work that jump shot he learned during the offseason.

Last thing the team needs is for Tiago to go down.

[TimDunkem]

It's only a matter of time....At least he'll have enough time to heal during the lockout.

[mystargtr34]

The best possible thing for Tiago right now is to play some competitive basketball... and that includes International play. He hasnt played consistent minutes in over a year now, and lets be honest as long as Bonner is on the roster there will be limited minutes next season.. if there is one.

[TDMVPDPOY]

is he geico? lmao

[bdictjames]

Yep, some competitive international play will only help his game. Who knows, he'll get some post moves from this.
