Tiago Splitter - DNP coach decision

[Bong]

just curious, im not able to watch the game (because the game is not available/shown on our NBA premium tv channel or other sports channel here in the Philippines) i just saw in yahoosports boxscore that Tiago Splitter - DNP coach decision, is there any reason? is it Rest, injury or something else. thanks for those who would sincerely reply to this thread.:toast

Tiago hurt his vagina during last nights practice.

Word on the streets is that he's being traded...

But seriously, Pop was just giving him the night off. Our next game isn't until Saturday...letting him have the night off ends up in him basically having an entire week of rest, which is obviously nice.

believe it was rest

He needs to start giving Tim some time off, tbh..

Yeah, I think it would've made more sense to sit Tim out tonight so that he was the one with the week off...but regardless, this span of 3 games in 10 nights will be good for everyone, and then all-star break is coming up as well. Hopefully we can stay healthy so that Tim/Manu get some rest down the stretch.

Maybe Pop is shipping Baynes + CoJo.

CIA Pop doing stuff

Wouldn't all coaches want to ride with CoJo instead of Leonard??

It seems like the coaches who rather to play Leonard over CoJo aren't Spurs staff.

Love Pop but sometimes he's too much Pop...
Tim needs to rest but he sits Tiago, Kawhi needs to get more playing time after being inactive for a month but he plays CoJo...

[Chomag]

If it was for rest IT should have been Timmy. I dont know what Pop is up to.

[tholdren]

Trade please

[hater]

Trade possible

The bolded embodies exactly the way I feel but it's not easy to explain.

Spurs sit Splitter for one game and now he is getting traded. Pop just sat him to rest him. Splitter is invaluable if the Spurs play the Blazers, Mavs, or Grizz in the playoffs and more than likely they will play one. Pop gave Tony nearly 20 games off last year and I don't remember the Spurs trading him.

[hater]

not saying Tiago is getting traded. Could be another guy.

[weebo]

splitter is in pop's doghouse--been playing like shit

[Mugen]

:lol Manu/Timmy might as well retire now if they're gonna trade Splitter. The Spurs aren't getting past the 1st round without his defense tbh.

Lol.. hook line sinker....

If the Spurs was going to trade Splitter, they wouldn't get rid of J Green.

Center Tiago Splitter was in uniform for Wednesday’s game but remained on the bench throughout with slight discomfort in his left hamstring.

“It wasn’t anything serious, so I was ready to play, but Pop just basically decided to rest me,” Splitter said.

Tim sees the finish line. He's not looking to rest. He doesn't want to go out as a 20 minute a night guy on a team that suffers because they are paying 10m+ to a benched legend.

That's what happens when you complain about your pains to the trainer.
