Kawhi -2.0

Thank god it wasn't Kawhi, tbh...

Tiago was the shit when he was healthy. Healthy Splitter would shit all over Gasoft.

[Chinook]

I desperately wanted the team to keep Tiago over Diaw, because a Splitter/Aldridge combo would have been tremendous.

:depressed Little did I know Tiago was gone long before the team sent his contract to Atlanta. Pour (another) one out for the lost member of the Medium Three.

[Bill_Brasky]

Duncan/Diaw/Splitter were the shit, RIP beautiful game

[cd98]

His T-Rex hook shot was ugly, but his timing on pick and roll offense and defense was a big part of the Beautiful Game ‘s success.

[Spurtacular]

Thanks for 5, Golden God.

Best Spurs nickname of all-time. Possibly followed by Corpse McCallum / Black Ollie.

[wildbill2u]

I just wish he had joined the team sooner. The young Splitter was a more mobile 7 footer than almost any player in the NBA.

[SAGirl]

:bobo
Unsurprising. Injuries really did him in. Pour one.

[TimDunkem]

One of the best defenders in Spurs history.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

At least he won a ring - how many of the idiots in this site have won anything?

[illusioNtEk]

True Champion

[hater]

Saddest part about this story is that Kawhi is more injury prone than Splitter

[r0drig0lac]

Don’t worry, he will eventually.

Most overrated spur of all time. Too stupid to take care of himself. Blair was better

Is Splitter the 27 or 28th Spur that you hate? I know that Murray is the 36th Spur in chronological order and also most hated on your list. Would Splitter be 2nd most hated? I can never tell with your hate lists.

Losing Diaw was what started the slow death of the beautiful game

[TheGreatYacht]

Thank god Diaw bailed his unplayable ass out against the Thunder and Heat... :lol

[eric365]

His defense was key during the 2014 run
When healthy, Maybe the best big that played with Duncan besides D Rob

[YGWHI]

Loved Tiago.

He was fantastic in Blazers' series, he was under LMA's skin all games...I missed him so much against Clippers in 2015, with a healthy Splitter the series would have been a lot different.

Also, he was part of the Spurs last great times with the Foreign Legion and the Beautiful Game squad....His P&R with Manu were perfect.

only softie ever that could impact playoff games with legal screens

[Ruler]

The only thing to dislike about Tiago is his wife. Fuck that bitch, she's a rude and stuck up person

[DJR210]

Still upset at him for this:

But, at least he did this:

Either way, thanks for contributing to the annihilation of the Heatles :tu

[timtonymanu]

Miss the days when Spurs players were likeable and easy to support. To go from that to “ma touches” “I’m Gasoft and I need to start.” Really sad to see.

[timtonymanu]

The Golden God. He will always be one of my favorite role players ever.

[phxspurfan]

Thanks for the memories Tiago, great performances during your years here.

Splitter didn't need to roid up to get his blocks.

[daslicer]

Splitter deserves respect for being a huge of part of the Spurs resurgence from '11-'14.

[Seventyniner]

Splitter didn't need to roid up to get his blocks.

But he did need to commit a goaltending violation.

[bigfan]

Very good on the Spurs; I actually thought he retired a year or so ago.

[Keepin' it real]

If Pop had listened to the #freetiago crowd in the 2011 playoffs, the Spurs may not have suffered that humiliating first-round loss to Zbo and the Grizz.

I entered here to say this. His defense over Novitzki was outstanding.

[SpurPadre]

Miss the days when Spurs players were likeable and easy to support. To go from that to “ma touches” “I’m Gasoft and I need to start” "I have the weakest quad in the world and now I'm gonna sit most of the year and be mad at PATFO, I wanna go to LA" Really sad to see.

FIFY

Also shut down Softdridge pretty well the following round.

Goes with the territory when you abandon the "Built not bought" philosophy.

"Splitter was traded to the Atlanta Hawks in 2015, but was traded to the Philiadelphia 76ers last February. Although he moved on from the Alamo City, Splitter was seen at the Spurs training camp last year as an unsigned agent. Coach Gregg Popovich allegedly told Splitter that he would keep an open spot for Splitter (http://hoopshype.com/) on his roster."

what could have been...

Still upset at him for this:

yeah that sucked but i like that he even went for it, we needed something to get us going.
too bad he was still splitter :lol

[daledondale]

Also shut down Softdridge pretty well the following round.Yes. But the Spurs killed the Blazers that year. In the Dallas series, was a 4-3, so it has a bigger value his contribution.

[MaNu4Tres]

I always blamed Kawhi for that block. He should have been in the corner on that Tiago PnR and LeBron would have been right there by him instead of just waiting in the lane.

[phxspurfan]

More rings than Malone, Stockton, Payton, Iverson, Barkley, Ewing, McGrady combined.

Really too bad he couldn’t get healthy. Would have been a great big to have on the roster for even 10 minutes a night.

Also, this thread deserves more than two pages. Yes, 2013 against the Heat wasn’t pretty but he was stellar in 2014.

[Phenomanul]

More rings than Malone, Stockton, Payton, Iverson, Barkley, Ewing, McGrady combined.

Gary Payton coat-tailed a ring off of the 2006 (Wade/O'Neal) Miami Heat.

It's a shame his career ended so early. He was basically done when we traded him at 29-30 and he just turned 33 so without the injuries he would still have a couple more years. Probably ended his career at least 4-5 years short considering it basically ended in 2015. He played in 36 games for Atlanta but I don't really count that he wasn't the same player at that point.

[BatManu20]

Rest easy Golden God. Thanks for 2014 :lobt2:

He can't shoot. So teams could double off of him and we know Aldridge doesn't handle double teams well

He was a giant Vagoina those 2 runs, remember the Lebron block?
Did as much as Beli in 2014.
Tiago is the kind of Spur player that goes to another team and is a nobody, like Jax, Boris, Beli and the list goes on.
Not even decent, just lucky to play with the Big 3 and a stacked team, overrated as hell here.

Yes, Robert Horry wins rings, Bowen wins rings, Ginobili wins rings, those guys could be on any team.
Tiago is a poosey made of glass and did nothing to win in 2014, he was Bonner-like, Gary Neal deserved a ring not this POS.

Now we have his succesor, over-paid old as shit Pau Gasol and his vagoina is getting bigger and wetter as the time goes on.
Is this news to you?

Yes, Manu was kicking ass in 2014 at almost 37 years old, not a role player but since this guy wants to twist everything to fit his dumb criteria, lets see what that pussy ass Sploitter did in his NT, or NBA without Big 3 and company.
Retired after turning just 33 and havent been playing for like 2 years.

No dumb criteria here. Reading comprehension you need. You said role players don't win rights

I said otherwise because it just happens to be the truth. I was just hoping you could bend it around to your will - you can't.

BB is a team sport so the entire team wins the ring. If you don't think this is fair go watch tennis.

School time is over. Go to bed.

Tiago was not important in those 2 runs, so role players like him dont win rings, now you have more knowledge.
I stopped reading after the team sport thing, if that was true then Spurs wouldnt have rings because of guys like Matt Bonner, Daye, De Culo.
You are just butthurted and gay agressive because you cant take the truth, Tiago is a giant pussy sorry.

Lol, without Lebron and Irving that Cavs role team wouldnt have shit, even Love was a disaster until the last play of game 7.
Take Durant and Curry from GSW and lets see what happens with roll plaisas, 99% of the time the MVP GOES TO ROLL PLEYRS.
