Brazil vs. Canada on Fox Sports SW now, about halfway through the third. Catch it quick if you can

Tiago is in for Brazil, ive only been watching for about 5 minutes but he hasn't been overly impressive.

Bah, just as I post that, they took Splitter out.

He did play the first 8 of the third though, so he'll prolly see a little more time in the next quarter. He was due a rest.

Barbosa, on the other hand, is ripping it up for Brazil. And Canada still sucks.

He's in again. #15. The big white guy.

I was kind of surprised too.

Fouled out. Stupid 5 foul rule.

Not sure on his final stat line, but he seemed to have a decent game. Rebounded well, seems to have good energy on the boards and tries to box-out but needs to bulk up a bit. And he got a lot of tips, too.

Bobbled a lot of passes into the post and didn't show much to impress in the paint. Most of his points came off dunks, put backs, and one fairly casual runner.

Uses his length well on defense and didn't seem to leave his feet much, but he's prolly got a ways to go on his rotations and help defense.

Seems like a guy with a lot of energy and good length, and definitely has potential if we can mold him into some sort of form.

Tiago plays like less energy version of AV of cleveland. With hands of stone. Moves ok for a 7 footer.

6 turnovers... Nazr like hands. 12 points and 9 rebounds. Not impressed with him thus far though.

You guys do know that was a replay right? They showed it like at 7:30 on NBATV.
