I miss Tiago :(

[jag]

Atlanta is a good team but he was never meant to be with a sorry ass franchise like that. He belongs with champions. :lobt:


Long live the Golden God :toast

[KaiRMD1]

I feel you old sport, I've been missing the hell out of Tiago. I'm sure no one feels that way on this board though

[dabom]

Just ya 2 tbh.

[Chinook]

Tiago is the missing piece right now. If the Spurs had somehow been able to keep him instead of West (cough, Parker's extension, cough), then the team would be rocking right now.

[dabom]

I would prefer tiago over tony's extension too, but tiago or LMA is a no brainer.

[benefactor]

:cry golden god pls

[dabom]

You always pick the star over the role player.

[lebomb]

I dont miss his toilet paper soft ass. Dude is 7'-19" tall and would try and lay in a ball when he should have flushed it.

Come back home, Tiago :cry

[BillMc]

I would welcome Tiago back, of course. That said, LMA is worlds better.

[daledondale]

He was missed when he played. The guy had more injuries than manu.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

I would welcome Tiago back, of course. That said, LMA is worlds better.

:tu

If it's a choice between Tiago and LMA the decision is an easy one...as much as I liked Tiago.

[apalisoc_9]

Tiago would have made that easy read on the switch. Instead we get Aldridge.

But seriously Aldridge will be fine. He's an Ok defender.

It's West that is the issue. If Tiago was here, the spurs wouldn't need west. Tiago-Diaw-Aldridge-TD- is the best big rotation in the league.

[TXstbobcat]

I miss Tiago but I don't miss his injury issues.

[hater]

He did fit the Spurs like a glove.

[DrSteffo]

I miss him too...seems he helps Atlanta win games now, good for them. Most underrated player on ST ever?

[spursgu]

:cry golden god pls

[HarlemHeat37]

At least he isn't fat, tbh..

[Fireball]

1 BAD GAME MAKES U MISS TIAGO :lmao We only had 1 good game (Nets) ... otherwise were lucky to win 2 other games in which the Spurs played bad ...

[BillMc]

We only had 1 good game (Nets) ... otherwise were lucky to win 2 other games in which the Spurs played bad ...

Conversely we could be 5-0 as we had leads into the closing minutes in every game. Close games are effectively coin flips. Speaking fairly a 2-1 roadtrip is not a bad thing.

[Fireball]

Conversely we could be 4-0 as we had leads into the closing minutes in every game. Close games are effectively coin flips. Speaking fairly a 2-1 roadtrip is not a bad thing. ok, the game against OKC was not bad ... we could be 5:0 ... but I am sticking to my point that we won two games by playing not well at all.

[DrSteffo]

Really the problem is that we miss a C who can play D against most teams. Tim Duncan saves us but it's not ideal. Without him his team would suck tbh. No rim protection and bad d from our PG.

[Fireball]

[TXstbobcat]

With such a crappy start to the 1st quarter and the 20 turnovers the Spurs were lucky to have had such a close game in the end last night.

[BillMc]

Fair enough. :tu

[DrSteffo]

so we miss a healthy Tiago ... that is what this thread is all about :lol

I see and agree :)

[baseline bum]

Did everyone here not watch Splitter at all last year? I miss 2013-14 Tiago, but I sure as hell don't miss 2014-15 Tiago.

[SuperCam]

I tried telling people he was the straw that stirred the drink on D. Kiwi gets lost on screen instead :bang

[tmtcsc]

I feel you old sport, I've been missing the hell out of Tiago. I'm sure no one feels that way on this board though

Nope, don't miss him at all. Good riddance, tbh. He was an injury-prone, unreliable, weak finisher at the rim. What he provided on defense when healthy was fantastic but that was too seldom.

[DrSteffo]

Do you miss the present Tiago? His plus/minus in Atlanta is not bad no? This is not last season.

[Kawhitstorm]

Tiago is the missing piece right now. If the Spurs had somehow been able to keep him instead of West (cough, Parker's extension, cough), then the team would be rocking right now.

The issue now is Faggy Green shooting 15% & turning the ball over.

[tmtcsc]

Right now, Tiago is probably huddled in a hotel room somewhere, writhing in agonizing pain of a bruised right forearm. Out 3-6 weeks...maybe, we'll see, that is, if the cartilage surrounding the 4th rib on his left side is healed from the mysterious lack of blood cells oxygenating it.

[ChumpDumper]

Did everyone here not watch Splitter at all last year? I miss 2013-14 Tiago, but I sure as hell don't miss 2014-15 Tiago.This. There was a really small window in which Duncan and Tiago could play together and it's closed. Now had Duncan retired everything could have been different with Splitter, but that didn't happen.

[Chinook]

Oh, so you're one of those folks that thinks calling people stupid names is funny. Okay.

[Mr Bones]

Sacrificing Splitter to get LMA was a good decision for this season and the next 4 years... I liked Tiago (as well as George Hill), but I'd say RC & Pop ultimately made the right moves in both situations.

Availability is the best ability but Shitter was always in the training room nursing his vagina

[Mikeanaro]

Pss he was soft as hell, good guy sure but he wasnt the answer to our prays.

[spursgu]

Splitter was injury prone but minus last year he was healthy in the postseason. Some in here are over exaggerating.

[lilbthebasedgod]

I hope boban progresses enough so by the end of the season we can use him. I think he fits what we need

[SpurPadre]

We had to let him go but I'm glad he's playing in the same system and has no worries about fitting in with his new team.

[daledondale]

Did everyone here not watch Splitter at all last year? I miss 2013-14 Tiago, but I sure as hell don't miss 2014-15 Tiago.
Same here.

[ElNono]

don't miss him at all... this team just has a higher ceiling with the new guys

[cjw]

Even without the Parker extension, it would have been very hard to keep Tiago. Perhaps you're thinking CoJo cap hold + Tiago's salary is about what Parker's was, and could have gotten Aldridge done with that amount?

Once extension was signed though, nothing that could be done.

[Dre_7]

:tu

[Dre_7]

Once LMA is more comfortable in the system, no one will miss Tiago. I am already loving Aldridge's rebounding! Cannot wait to see him in a couple months!

[Sean Cagney]

Just ya 2 tbh.

^^^^^^

Sooooo much this!

Tristan Thompson instead of Lma woulda been rings. Instead, this is gonna go full Richard Jefferson days after a disappointing playoff bounce.

[SAGirl]

WE missed Tiago last year, with as many injuries as he had. A healthy Tiago would have made a difference in our RS record and our series against the Clippers. WE miss him now too, West is nowhere near his vecinity on D.

[Robz4000]

To get LMA it had to be done, but....:cry Golden God :cry...

[TrainOfThought5]

Once LMA is more comfortable in the system, no one will miss Tiago. I am already loving Aldridge's rebounding! Cannot wait to see him in a couple months!

If hes not 15 pounds lighter in a couple months we'll be fucked anyway.

[Kawhi 5-0]

Tiago is playing well. Miss him too, but LMA was the right gamble to take. Buyer's remorse is natural at this early stage. I think Aldridge will end up being a beast for us!

[Uriel]

Tiago is the missing piece right now. If the Spurs had somehow been able to keep him instead of West (cough, Parker's extension, cough), then the team would be rocking right now.
They also could've traded Diaw instead.

[spursgu]

They also could've traded Diaw instead.

Trade Diaw you'd have to trade Mills too. But I agree that Tiago is a better fit with West than Diaw is

[RayTdropout]

Feck u and TIago he sucked

[Xevious]

Tiago would've been a better fit on the second unit alongside West or Diaw. But moneywise they made the right decision. If it's between Splitter or Aldridge, you take Aldridge.

[Mr Bones]

Signing LMA was smart, and not even risky at all-- the salary cap is going to jump dramatically in the near future and both LMA's and Kawhi's deals will look like incredible bargains. Max deals in two years will be in the 30mil+ range... In the worst case scenario, if LMA never acclimates or fits in with the Spurs, he'll be easy to trade... I don't anticipate that happening, but either way, it was brilliant strategizing by RC & Pop.

[Ice009]

I've been wondering if there is a chance Roy Hibbert doesn't work out with the Lakers and if he could eventually get bought out. Anyone here know how he's fitting in there? I was thinking about that the moment he was traded there. I think if he's bought out then the Spurs would be his number 1 choice.

[Fireball]

A try on Hibbert would be nice ... but first I really would like to see Boban getting some more playing time to see if he is able to perform with the second unit

[Fireball]

slower than bobah

thats why I said try out Boban first ... but if that does not work out, Hibbert is an accomplished NBA player, a center and a player who worked out frequently with Timmy over the summer

[Fireball]

as the other Hawks players Tiago does not seem too interested when Coach Bud draws up a play ...

Only Tiago and Kyle were able to understand what Coach Bud wanted to say. And Bazemore, well, you stand in the corner and shoot from 3 pointer when you get the ball.
