Why might Splitter not play?

[TimmehC]

Why might Splitter not play?
He'll be too upset about getting trading to some shitty lottery team.

:stirpot:

[GB20]

Why might Splitter not play?

he has a broken nail.

[BRs.Ganso]

teeth pain! :lol kidding

its because he arrived late in training camp (because of his son), need a time to adaptate like other players, let's see.

Is Kostas Papanikolaou playing? Spurs rumored to be interested in him?

[TE]

What time is that PST?

Watched Greece play a very average Australia squad the other day and they lost by 40. I don't know if this Greece team has been beefed up with older players since then, but if it hasn't, any performance Splitter throws up should be taken with a grain of salt.

That's our B squad, made up by 20-22 years old players, mostly.

So what happened here

Marcelo Machado shines as Brazil beats Greece (http://www.lancenet.com.br/mais-esportes/BRASIL-GRECIA_0_727127515.html)

37 years old scored 22 points in the game that earned the title of the Super 4 Tournament of San Carlos

Fabio Alexius, special envoy to San Carlos (SP)

In the most difficult test so far in preparation for the London Olympic Games, Brazil won. On the evening of Thursday, the men's basketball team beat Greece 78 to 71 and took the title of the Super 4 Tournament of San Carlos.

The veteran Marcelo Machado, 37, Brazil was the leading scorer with 22 points. He hit five of six shots from three. Marquinhos with 17 points, was another highlight.

About 4500 people attended the Gymnasium Milton Olaio to watch the match. It was the best attendance in the three-day tournament.

Brazil will play next on July 5th and 6th in Buenos Aires (ARG) in a Super four tournament that will include Argentine, Chile and Spain B.

Does anyone know what the article says about Splitter? I know a little bit of Spanish (but absolutely zero Portuguese), which leads me to believe Tiago had 9 points and 8 boards.

Splitter played pretty good 9 points and 8 boards, his first game since he played with Spurs, he just arrived last week in brazilian training camp because of his son.

Nene did a facial on Bourousis.. :lol

Splitter was our best center yesterday. We started bad, too many turnovers, greece got a lead early but he got in and grabbed like 5 boards and scored 4 points in a couple of minutes.

he was 3/4 from the FT line too IIRC.

He didn't play much (nobody did, Magnano is playing our full rotation).
