Tiago

[Chinook]

Baam I'll give you credit for continuing to hold the anti-Splitter banner.

[doobs]

Tiago has been a beast so far in the playoffs, especially on the defensive end. If we make it to the Finals, I feel he's more than capable of reducing Bosh to a non-factor.

[DrSteffo]

Tbh some grey posters like me have defended Splitter from the stupidity of some BNSF for several years. Splitter has been shitting all over folks here and not just trolls like Baam but also serious but ignorant posters. I could name a few....

[Raven]

:lmao OP

what a dumb shit :lol

Look who's talking:lol

[BillMc]

When you include the passing, court awareness, defense, and some aggressive moves to the hoop, I can't recall Tiago ever playing better. He's worth every dime we're paying him.

Issue here is Bosh camps way out and can hit threes - but let Splitter guard Birdman or whatever hack they have in there. Might see alot of Splitter and Diaw on court same time. Splitter has been fabulous in playoffs any naysayers not paying attention - other than Howard [for his one series] Splitter might be the best center in the playoffs this year.

Its strange how all of the TV commentators, most of whom actually played in the NBA, have had nothing but good things to say about Splitter's play in the playoffs--considering how on Spurs Talk we have some REAL experts who have nothing good to say about him.

It's great to have these Spurs Talk experts give us the real scoop on Splitter from their deep fund of knowledge. Otherwise we'd be believing our own lyin' eyes.

I'm a splitter lover, but the press also regularly sucks belinellis cock, so its not really an argument

Splitter has the mobility to guard Bosh even out that far from the rim. It would only really be a problem in that it would draw out Splitter leaving Duncan or Boris which ever is on the floor as the only big for help D on a driving Wade or LeBron. I doubt Boris a bit size wise as a help defender when it comes to altering shots, and doubt Duncan consistently having the mobility to arrive in time.

[DrSteffo]

He can be valuable only against Memphis in the playoffs and plays 20 minutes a game. LOL @ the money he's gonna make.

also he's a major pussy...

LOL BNSF with the goods

[DrSteffo]

Come on guys who sets better screens then splitter ?this is where we need him right vs big lineups? Lol 9.5 million

stupid as fuck u are

[Leetonidas]

retarded gnsfs :lol

[DrSteffo]

He is so soft it makes my head hurt...

Sir, you should get a new hair style because you have no clue...

[DrSteffo]

Doing his best to show right now why his contract was a fucking mistake. This is exactly what we can expect out of him against good teams in the playoffs.

This one is of course the boldest of them all...

[DrSteffo]

Yeah, completely unable to admit you're wrong. You acted like a baby instead with all this sarcasm and goal-post moving. I don't care which university you go to, which I why I am not trying to figure it out. If you want to be obtuse about it, it doesn't matter to me. I only asked to help clear up your confusion. The fact that you think it's fun to try to create a mystery about that that I was supposed to solve if I paid attention to the clues is ludicrous. Act like somebody. If it's UT, I showed why you were wrong. If it's University of Phoenix, I showed why you were wrong. If it's DeVry, I showed why you were wrong. That whole part of the conversation never mattered to the point, which is that you had no idea what a degree or major was.

As I said, that quote he posted meant what I said it meant, as in that's the literal implication of that combination of words. However, there is a convention of inappropriately using that phrase to indicate what you said it meant, which is why I said you may be right. But that doesn't matter. That part of the conversation was an aside to an aside to an aside.

But yes, I'm fine dropping this. We can talk about Tiago if you want, although I imagine this thread will only be bumped to make fun of your OP from now on, unless you bump it yourself for damaged control or to brag when Splitter has an inevitable off game. Really, the life of this thread as a legitimate source of discussion has run its course.

This BNSF is talking about something totally irrelevant but he is serious about it.

Still here. I was definitely wrong. In Game 1 when Tiago tore the ball away from an OKC player then threw it down my jaw hit the floor. I've never seen him do that.

i would give Baam credit if he actually tried to defend his position and address my posts. instead he's just a moron

Nah, a better troll would have moved on to greener pastures. Hanging on to the schtick at this point is just sad, and it wasn't a particularly good schtick to begin with.

Mel_13. Calling the shots. Telling it like it is. He's been there. He's done that. That's not old age, momma, that's experience. Too bad, so sad. Mel up at halftime.

There you go. The Jackson schtick is funny and promises to have staying power.

[DPG21920]

My real shtick (and IMO the best one ever invented in this mold) was the Hannibal Lector one. Jag already kind of does this Mark Jackson thing and it's solid. My Hannibal Lector impersonation was hauntingly beautiful.

I missed that one, maybe you can bring it out of retirement.

To me Tiago has always been pretty lazy when it comes to using his arms, there's was always the lack of hops excuse and the classic "blocks are like steals, it's basically fancy but shitty D" but now that he actually tries to use the things that are attached to his shoulders he finally gets some blocks... Amazing... Or is it...

He has completely turned the corner. The Spurs are going to destroy the Heat on the inside.

How did you like Tiago's defense in the first two rounds against Dirk and Aldridge?

[DJR210]

If Splitter has the path to the basket and James is lurking nearby, does Tiago redeem himself with the dunk?

Stephen A. Smith

Atone for your sins.

Tiago Splitter?
We talkin Tiago Splitter?

He needs to release an apology and let Tiago sit on his face.

[Spurs9]

Went from one of my least favorite spurs to one of my top 2 now tbh

[boutons_deux]

anybody go a gif of, early in the game, Tiago's bulling his way down the lane for a layup? NEVER seen him do that.

[smeagol]

Tiago, the Latinamerican!!!!!!

this is a revenge series to splitter for getting embarrassed in 2012 imo

Seems his upper body strength has gone up. I liked the one play he ripped the rebound from Collison.

This video had a lot of impressive plays all from one game. A yearly highlight reel on youtube containing the same would excite us spursfans if we were about to acquire someone.

Are you actually rooting for a Spur to fail? You sick bastard.
