R.I.P Tiago Splitter

[Venti Quattro]

[timtonymanu]

:lol guy can't catch a break.

Even if he goes up hard, he still gets rejected.

[Stabula]

Splitter was softer than teenaged pussy tbh

[Nathan89]

Good he can't even get rebounds vs the heat.

[siraulo23]

:lolsplitter

[crc21209]

I dunno what Venti is so wet about. Black guys are more athletic and can jump higher than white/foreign guys. We already knew this. Remember Nate Robinson blocking Yao Ming?

[tim_duncan_fan]

No negotiations for Splitter. He either shuts the fuck up and signs the first contract presented or get him the fuck out of here.

[testies]

He was one of the best in the game

As for you fans, bunch of sado masoquistt FAGGOTS

I never had a touch with American sports fans, but the pathetic atmospheres are compatible with the posts in this thread.. Less self-love and support in the bad times than a shit wife

[hater]

that's probably going to be his career highlight

:lmao

nigga's rest of his career is fucked

[hater]

watch Splitterred be the next trend IMO

goddam that is just sad

[Venti Quattro]

You don't get yourself blocked like that in the Finals, nigga. That is all, thank you.

[rascal]

Can he dunk strong with two hands? Can't jump for a guy his size.

[Ice009]

Splitter is so soft with his moves, that when he tries to be aggressive, he still gets his shit packed horribly.

He doesn't look slow, but somehow his moves seem slow. They seem like invitations to come block his ass by anyone. Doesn't matter if you are a guard, forward or center. It seems Splitter somehow gives off an invitation to get his shots blocked by anyone.

I don't think he is slow overall, but I think he is just slow enough with his moves and decisiveness that it makes it easy for defenders to make him look stupid. I also wonder if his lack of vertical has anything to do with it? Can you improve you vertical much when you are at this age and level of basketball?

[ffadicted]

Shit that's a nice snap... dat block was something else tbh

[crc21209]

You don't get yourself blocked like that in the Finals, nigga. That is all, thank you.

Shit at least he's in the Finals right? I don't see you out there :lol

[Johnny RIngo]

You don't get yourself blocked like that in the Finals, nigga. That is all, thank you.

Splitter gets blocked like that nearly every game.

[TheGreatYacht]

Good he can't even get rebounds vs the heat.1 rebound in 22 minutes. Are you fucking kidding me. He deserves a "TIAAAGO SPLITTER" from Stephen A Smith tomorrow.

[Capt Bringdown]

That was humiliating. But at least he was trying, instead of tossing away the ball carelessly, ala Manu.

[$pursDynasty]

there are some that praise Tiago and talk about him getting a big payday, but when has he ever been anything better than complimentary? The Birdman for all the hype was at hope pumping gas this season working on two 10 day contracts and Splitter can't dominate him? Yet we want to give Splitter big money and lock him up long term? Splitter is the closest thing to a good compliment to Tim on the roster but he is at least right now Umberto at best. He can pass has that soft Euro game but can't shoot it like Dirk. So yea I want him but I wouldn't go in a bidding war for him.

[Sleepy_Floyd]

That was humiliating. But at least he was trying, instead of tossing away the ball carelessly, ala Manu. Yes. He needs to get over his fear of taking it to the rim. Shit like this happens its part of the game.

[DeadlyDynasty]

RIP indeed...poor bastard never saw it coming

[davidbowie]

feel bad for the dude but it was tiago fuckin splitter lol

and the game was already out of hand whatever

atleast he went for it. he needs to go up stronger with two hands. u shouldnt get blocked like that being how tall and big he is. or he needs to go big with his left hand and shield the blocked with his other arm like every other fuckin big time dunker does

[dg7md]

Funny how that worked out. Had Tiago dunked on LeBron successfully, LeBron's entire career would have an asterisk on it. :lol

Good block of course, but Splitter at least tried to dunk it. Had it been another player, Splitter would have had a successful dunk.

[DeadlyDynasty]

If Splitter has kids then they felt that down in their souls...probably shook his g/f`s sugarwalls too

:lol OP talkn... b*tch!

[resistanze]

Splitter plays too slow and soft. Takes him a year to gather and he usually flips it up like a wuss.

Thanks for pointing out that Manu and Bonner should've been called with fouls there.

Also, why is there an extra hand there?

[GSH]

Thanks for pointing out that Manu and Bonner should've been called with fouls there.




Thanks for pointing out how incredibly butt-hurt you are.

[mercos]

Appreciate Lebron lowering Splitter's price tag in the offseason tbh.

lol ya fouls that came to him be'n ejectd... thanks for pointn out ur salty :lol

[Trainwreck2100]

we'll see how he bounces back

[Venti Quattro]

:lol :lol Do you need Horatio Caine to arrest LeBron? :lol :lol

[td4mvp2k]

splitter > b kemp by 20 miil... :lol

[Bill_Brasky]

What's was funnier, Splitter getting rejected by Lebron or Lebron getting rejected by Green?

[Venti Quattro]

What's was funnier, Splitter getting rejected by Lebron or Lebron getting rejected by Green?

I think LeBron being rejected by Green is funnier. However, LeBron blocking Splitter will have a lasting effect.

[Bill_Brasky]

I think LeBron being rejected by Green is funnier. However, LeBron blocking Splitter will have a lasting effect.

Lebron on splitter was way filthier I'll agree.

However, Lebron just has no business being rejected by DG.

[PingPong]

Or Splitter lost his confidence for the whole series or get so pissed and will go so hard that breaks Le Bron's wrist next time he tries to do it again.

[DeadlyDynasty]

splitter > b kemp by 20 miil... :lol
:lolIt's adorable how desperately you're trying to deflect from your brazilian boytoy getting deebo'd

[pgardn]

One play on a guy who has been humbled before. Even with a running start he can't get up much. They were not that high, the timing was impressive though.

I think Pop has probably humiliated him worse in practice. Duncan has probably blocked his shot multiple times in one possession during scrimmages.

[Bill_Brasky]

:lol Spurfan calling for Splitter to be more aggressive, this is what we get.

Yes, that's the same as getting emasculated on national television with the world watching. Very astute correlation, Donovan.

[testies]

I don't see how you guys have less self love than anythign I've ever seen. How can you make threads and threads mocking your own players, teams, calling them names.. Go suck on fucking hispanic Miami dick, retards

[davidbowie]

did yall see lebron stand there like an asshole too after the block. just staring at the crowd. didnt even run back on defense

smh

[DarrinS]

I'm just glad Spo chose to play his big 3 for so many garbage minutes.

[DeadlyDynasty]

The good news is Splitter went from obscurity to household name overnight. He'll probably get more YT hits than Rebecca Black:tu

[Gkm]

that is why he goes "soft" to the rim, if he fakes he gets a open layup.

[BatManu20]

Appreciate Lebron lowering Splitter's price tag in the offseason tbh.

If the Spurs will still overpay tbh.

[pgardn]

Yes, that's the same as getting emasculated on national television with the world watching. Very astute correlation, Donovan.

That's the difference between a very athletic team and a team that relies on prowess.

If Tiago folds up we will know he has Dwight Howard mental toughness. These moments tell us something about competitors and guys who quit. I like the test.

Thanks for the assist Watson.

[pgardn]

Oh shit...

The series is all about Internet hits, we are doomed.

So LA...

[DrunkTXLabrat]

true. somebody else said it best. splitter needs the fake and finish. going strong ended up ugly for him, there. i do think it's good that he's got the game to go up strong though.

that rejection might be loud enough to rock a mill or two off the restricted offers?

[jimbo]

I think LeBron being rejected by Green is funnier. However, LeBron blocking Splitter will have a lasting effect.

It really won't. He's not the little baby you've got playing center. Splitter's gotten his shit destroyed like this in the past and he's been fine. Mentally he's gone through a whole lot worse in his life and still been successful (read his wiki), he's not mentally weak.

[DeadlyDynasty]

smhSpeaks volumes. makes you really want to see this guy lose.....yet again!

[jimbo]

Well he's sure as shit physically weak

He doesn't have negro, Iranian or east euro blood. Bound to happen tbh.

[Tuddy]

Lebron saved Splitter from embarrassment, he was gonna fall short of flushing it anyway :lol

[DeadlyDynasty]

Can you imagine the psychological fallout if LeBron gets to the rim early in Game 3 (very likely and overdue) and puts Tiago on a poster. Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

[Budkin]

Who gives a shit tbh. No one will remember that when we win the title.

[td4mvp2k]

Who gives a shit tbh. No one will remember that when we win the title.

just hater jizz whos gunna lose again... LBJ did a play like dat in 07 vs spurs and in da end had his azz beat... :lol

[TheyCallMePro]

This has probably already been said but Splitter was already losing the ball on his way up...he would have either lost it over the rim or have been stuffed by the front of the rim...either way, it wasn't going to be a dunk.

And the game was already over. Splitter knows he was soft and so he was trying to make up for it. Frankly he avoided the embarrassment of being stuffed by the rim instead of by Lebron.

Skip Bayless seemed to be the only one to notice this. He had a tweet that read something like "Why's everybody making such a big deal on the Lebron block? Game was over and Splitter was losing it on the way up."

But still. It's embarrassing for Splitter. He's the one who screwed up. But Lebron is going to get all the credit and Splitter can at least pretend to credit Lebron for making a 'great' play. Guess he can save face that way. He's so soft I wouldn't be surprised.

nba n bspn will do wateva to make it more then it is... tbh

[DeadlyDynasty]

You know you guys don't have to throat his scrote, right? There's no way in hell bricking a dunk (something done by Wade numerous times this playoffs) is more embarrassing than getting rejected LIKE THAT.

Own it and move on.

[Baam]

http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/2746093/leblockepic.gif

I can't help but LMAO tbh, that's hilarious no matter how you put it.

[Baam]

Btw that's what happens when Tiago listen to Spurstalk and takes it strong to the rack instead of using pumpfakes and the likes.

[temujin]

Irrelevant stuff.
Fakers fans have a passion for.

1-1.
Mission accomplished.
on to G3.

[Heath Ledger]

Wtf cares he got blocked by a stud nothing to see here. It's not like he got blocked by Nate Robinson.

[HI-FI]

it's pretty hilarious, because Tiago is kind of goofy. But it's also funny how the Los Angeles Heat fans are getting a boner from it. Probably their most downloaded gif since Kobe blocked Lebron in the ASG.

[TimmyDuncan21]

As a team they lost...but why play Gary Neal when we have very good depth at the point :bang Manu looked like shit...even Duncan looked bad missed some easy shots

[ezau]

Only pussies and assholes get affected by getting blocked. Everybody gets blocked. Heck, even Michael fucking Jordan was blocked many times. Splitter will be fine.

[ezau]

Anyone who has played basketball knows that getting blocked is part and parcel of the game. Much like getting knocked out or getting punched in the face in boxing.

[Austin_Toros]

Hopefully this wakes up Splitter and he will finally grab some rebounds.

[slick'81]

Yup welcome to the finals tiago

[Spursmania]

Splitter to ST:
It's 1 game bitches. Chill.

[smaka]

I'm just glad Spo chose to play his big 3 for so many garbage minutes.

exactly my thoughts :lol

:cry LeDiva playing garbage time to pad stats

[BatManu20]

Am I the only one who thinks this block is overrated as hell? Not being a homer here either. Lebron's a 6'9" physical freak of nature and Splitter's a 6'11" softie who can barely jump over a phone book.... I mean seriously. It looked like he was going to get rim checked anyway. But ESPN will of course cream their panties over anything Lebron does.

[biskvito]

Splitter had a huge block against Wade, right after scoring some point, when Spurs was still in the game. Then he was benched for Diaw, and comes back when Spurs is down by 10 points. Nobody talks the good stuff.

[timmy2003]

Appreciate Lebron lowering Splitter's price tag in the offseason tbh.
This.

[AchillesHeel]

exactly my thoughts :lol

:cry LeDiva playing garbage time to pad stats

One of these days he will blow his knee out while padding during garbage time.

[SenorSpur]

It seems only fitting that the one time Splitter elects to "man up" and go strong to the hole, that he gets denied in such a spectacular way. Considering the fact that he came up so small in last year's OKC series, following the hack-a-Splitter strategy, I only wonder whether his confidence will be shaken after this embarrassing play?

[PingPong]

" At least, I got the News headlines" - supposedly said Splitter after de game, joking about the block.

[bus driver]

nothing to see.
good block by HOF vs non HOF

[Jenks]

RIP Tim Duncan, he was never the same after this. Whatever happened to him anyway?

"Splitter Blossoming For Spurs"

http://scores.espn.go.com/nba/scoreboard

[AaronY]

Shoulda went up with two hands..and then wrapped the ball around Lebrons right hip and dumped it into to Kawhi, cuz he wasn't dunking on that play at all

[Jenks]

If there's anyone who will appreciate that block by Lebron James, it's Lebron James.


In his locker in Cleveland, LeBron James (http://fantasybasketball.usatoday.com/content/player.asp?sport=NBA&id=927) of the Cavaliers has a poster of himself dunking over Tim Duncan (http://fantasybasketball.usatoday.com/content/player.asp?sport=NBA&id=467) of the San Antonio Spurs

http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/sports/basketball/nba/spurs/2007-06-05-bowen_N.htm

[SpurYank]

Love this team, win or lose. There is a video put out in NYC calling the Spurs a team with class. On the other hand this great team is blessed with a GREAT number of fools who run threads like this one.

[Leetonidas]

Poor Splitter. That shit is going to be remembered for a long, long time, especially if Miami wins. Carmelo should call Tiago and thank him tbh the nastiest block of the POs isn't on him now

[King]

Honestly, Splitter was trying to go hard to the rack, and was blocked. Far more aggressiveness than anyone else played with last night.

[mercos]

On a serious note, this is not going to affect Splitter. When you score near the basket, you are going to get blocked. It happens to everyone, including Lebron in the same game. Danny Green even got him on a fast break.

[TampaDude]

I have to :lol at all the dipshits on ESPN who are ejaculating all over that play. It's not like it was a game-tying or game-winning dunk that got rejected...the Heat were already up by 19 points at that moment...that block had ZERO impact on the final outcome of the game. If Splitter makes that dunk, the Spurs still get blown out.

[davidbowie]

game 3 cant come quicker. this shit aint goin away. dan patrick "caption that block", first take 3 segments devoted to it lol

[rascal]

Splitter wasn't going to make that shot ayways. He was too far out for his jumping ability to do the dunk. Did you ever see Splitter make a one handed dunk from that far out?

[TampaDude]

Splitter wasn't going to make that shot ayways. He was too far out for his jumping ability to do the dunk. Did you ever see Splitter make a one handed dunk from that far out?

^ this, tbh

LeBron saved Splitter from the embarassment of brutally clanging that shot off the front of the rim. :lol

[davidbowie]

Splitter wasn't going to make that shot ayways. He was too far out for his jumping ability to do the dunk. Did you ever see Splitter make a one handed dunk from that far out?

ive seen him miss more of those than he has made thats for sure

The fact is that LeBron saved the Heat's season with that block.

You don't get yourself blocked like that in the Finals, nigga. That is all, thank you.


Lebron blocked Duncan's shot? YES

R.I.P. L. A. LAKERS LOL. Splitter has a better chance of bouncing back than the lakers do breaking 500 next season lmfao.

[spurspokesman]

Good he can't even get rebounds vs the heat. This

[spurspokesman]

It's a block, and it has happened to every player who has played basketball long enough. Unfortunately splitter with his soft ass play has many more of these coming tbh

[spurspokesman]

Poor Splitter. That shit is going to be remembered for a long, long time, especially if Miami wins. Carmelo should call Tiago and thank him tbh the nastiest block of the POs isn't on him nowyup

[spurraider21]

After other teams saw this, we can resign him cheaper :downspin:

[Capt Bringdown]

Apparently LeBron James invented shot blocking.

[TDomination]

After other teams saw this, we can resign him cheaper :downspin:

CIA Pop

[Chief]

Poor Dude, his neck vains almost came out of his throat, if he knew any better he would've used his left arm to shield himself from getting blocked.

[Reck]

Who was he?

[Reck]

Shit that's a nice snap... dat block was something else tbh


RIP indeed...poor bastard never saw it coming

Talking about getting blocked, you guys just got denied by Google. WTF is in you're guy's sigs? :lol

[Spurs Brazil]

This block doesn't bother me. Tiago getting 3 rebs in 2 games does

[TwAnKiEs]

http://d3j5vwomefv46c.cloudfront.net/photos/large/779973945.jpg?1370830733

Lebron has a "Witness" Calf tat???? lol

[Beaverfuzz]

Throw it down two hands the next time Tiago. Still, that was his shot to shut up everyone about not dunking, and he gets more attention for being blocked than if he threw it down over Lebron.

[ace3g]

Couple of thoughts:

56 dunks in reg season and 3 in POs from Splitter (highlight reel), I can see why everyone is making a big deal about the LeBron block...

If he takes another dribble and goes for one of those underhand hook type shots, might have drawn the foul and/or made the basket, lol

[pikkiwoki]

Lebron has a "Witness" Calf tat???? lol

:lol that shit can't be real. just can't be.



:lmao

[cd021]

I dunno what Venti is so wet about. Black guys are more athletic and can jump higher than white/foreign guys. We already knew this. Remember Nate Robinson blocking Yao Ming?

that was a foul. He bitch slapped Yao in the face.

[cd021]

This block doesn't bother me. Tiago getting 3 rebs in 2 games does

48 minutes in 2 games

3 Rebounds
11 points

Kawhi Leonard had 25 rebounds in two games at small forward.

Lebron had 18 in game 1. 6X more than Twilight has this series

Miami 29th in boarding...

those numbers are stunning to me.

[ViceCity84]

I bet Fabricio Oberto doesn''t even get Lespazzed like T.S-Transexual

[TheGoldStandard]

48 minutes in 2 games

That block happened in the same year the Spurs swept the Cavs. :lol

[Slippy]

Did you all see Lebron posing for good 5 seconds while his teammates and the spurs including Tiago ran back up the court. In the real bball world outside of the ESPN hype machine that's what really stands out and is frowned upon. Like what's already mentioned, blocks happen all the time. I was damn impressed that Tiago took it strong and you all don't understand the game if you think this bothers him. If every white guy that plays and makes career out basketball lets a blocked shot bother them, there would be none playing at all. Since Tiago started with the spurs the only guy that probably effects him in any way is his coach because of all the mind games and favourtism to other players.

You want an amazing block , check Nate Robinson swat on Lebron series before.

The handful of Spurs fans pissing on their own doesn't surprise me. It's all to familiar to the way way DROB got treated. Pathetic. Their only concern is with the higlight reel and will be back to being laker fans when it's in vogue.

Finally an optimistic post. As I've said before I hope Tiago attacks the rim more and more frequently, hopefully with TWO hands on the ball.

[SpursDynasty21]

I would not care if Splitter leaves the Spurs after this season.

I think that says a lot about Lebron.

[rascal]

did yall see lebron stand there like an asshole too after the block. just staring at the crowd. didnt even run back on defense

smh

That is showmanship, playing up to the crowd. The Spurs were whipped at that point anyways.

[Jenks]

stand there like an asshole

That is showmanship
It's the same thing.

[rascal]

It's the same thing.

Depends on which side of the fence you sit.

[Seefourdc]

When your team is on a 33-5 run you can grandstand. Notice how they still scored on the possession he got there late on anyway off his PnR...

[PingPong]

Uhn!

[Jenks]

Depends on which side of the fence you sit.True, I'm on the side that doesn't glorify asshole behavior.

[cutewizard]

Guys, lets not badger Capitan Tiago that much....

he has been playing well this season for us, and was important in our earlier series wins

what im wishing now is for Splitter to dunk on the Miami Heat so strong as to deliver a return statement....!!

Go Captain Tiago, go Spurs go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cutewizard]

There is one thing I noticed about Splitter............i wonder if anyone of you nnoticed this....

After the Memphis series, and the guys are congratulating each other....

Splitter approached Zach and gently played with his headband, i really liked that scene

it speaks volumes of the man, Splitter is a good person, and I dont know about James but


if i had a daughter and the two of them courted her, i would pick Splitter!

James??? just a small child who does not know anything about Life, the Cosmos and the Universe OUTSIDE OF BASKETBALL!

Period. end of story

[cutewizard]

That is showmanship, playing up to the crowd. The Spurs were whipped at that point anyways.



James is a little child, afraid of the real world, who happens to be athletic....

Lebron James is so ignorant of Life, that he does not know anything about being a really good and spiritual person


Chamberlain would eat Lebron for breakfast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rr2418]

It's not as if LJ blocked Duncans shot or Kawhi's. Would people still be making a big issue if it was Bonner?

[DarrinS]

It's not as if LJ blocked Duncans shot or Kawhi's. Would people still be making a big issue if it was Bonner?

Lebron blocked TD in that game, too, IIRC.

[hater]

Splitter is overrated, but so are all of today's bigmen. They would not stand a chance in the 80s or 90s.

fucking soft ass midget league

[siraulo23]

I won't be surprised of he plays worse for the rest of the series

[pgardn]

It's one frrgn play.
I remember Ginobili's block on Durant above the rim.
People went on and on about it. It's such a little boy" I gotcha that time " NBA crap.
Tiago can't get up so the only surprise is that it was perfectly timed. And that it happened above the rim, which is unknown territory for Tiago.

Lebron blocked TD in that game, too, IIRC.

This occurred at a lower altitude, so in Teenage NBA ratings its no biggie.

Tiago threw down a couple of pick-n-roll dunks tonight. He's slow as shit but he knows where to put himself. Bill_Brasky I was wrong. Yo nigga Splitta showed no side-effects.

If there's one thing you never doubt a Brazilian on, it's confidence level tbh.

Tiago threw down about three dunks tonight. All were two handed and he even backed off King James in one dunk. Tiago is a good match for Tim. He works like Fab did and does the things like passing ,setting screens ,pick and roll rebounds and scoring some points. If we get a Fab out of him that's all we need. He will get better every year. Sure he screws up at times but he has also played very good this year. He is a good fit for the Spurs and they will resign him this year. "Haters got to Hate"

Re-sign him or sign-and-trade for Gortat or someone.

how can you make fun of your own player like that? neal too

Splitz needs to spend the summer in the gym, get some volleyball jump training. Guy can't jump and has weak forearms, is stripped off the ball with ease.

And he barely made the two handed stuff. And he got stripped and blocked again (below rim so in the NBA world it does not make a video game random selection of possible scenarios).

But he set some great screens, got in the way and caused misses, and played a great POSITIONAL game which is so critical when one is deficient athletically. Being in the right spots at the right time makes up for lack of hops. Kevin Love, great hands with no hops. Unfortunately Tiago lacks the hand strength. And the shooting range.

We would not be in the finals without Tiago.

[Capt Bringdown]

He is risen!

[pgardn]

He is risen!

Not above the rim.

[Venti Quattro]

What happened to him? Lol

Splitter sucks tonight, they should have just gone next door and grab the tallest kid graduating to replace him.
