'Splitter'. 'Tiago Splitter'. Hey, it's a pretty cool name.

[Dex]

Because he's the new Scola!

[genomefreak13]

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

You have to be an insider to know that he's a great prospect?

[K-State Spur]

**LOUD BELCH** Why not?!?

[urunobili]

he'll be a great fit on our system. playing besides Tim he'll be even better

[Hemotivo]

Tiago is the replacement for Elson

[kuato]

:nope :dramaquee

[FromWayDowntown]

James White!

[Roscoe and the Body]

Because Detroit was stupid enough to pass on him at #27 for a depth guard in Aaron Afflalo...

So what do his numbers look like in Europe this year?

[AFBlue]

So what do his numbers look like in Europe this year?

Modest, but very efficient....

Averaging 13pts/6rebs through 11 Euroleague games, and he's scored in double figures for all but 2 of them.

He certainly looks like a good complimentary player to place alongside Duncan.

[Rummpd]

He was a beast in many Euro and Olympic games, end of discussion and may turn out better than that Scola guy afterall. PDR

[AFBlue]

If I'm right about the time difference, he should be playing right now....

Anyone have a live stats type website? I can go to Euroleague.net for the post-game stats, but I was just wondering if I could see the box score as it progresses.

[ChumpDumper]

Euroleague.net has live stats. Splitter's game just finished. He had 15 points on 5-6 shooting, 3 boards and a block in under 20 minutes.

[Cansal]

HI EVERYONE!!!!! WHY SPLITTER??????????? BECOUSE HE IS A GENIUS IN EUROPE MAN, TODAY HE WAS FANTASTIC, IN LESS THAN 20 MINUTES MADES 15 PTOS, 1 BLOCK, 2 ASSISTANCES, MANY REBOUNDS............AND WAS THE MOST VALUETED OF THE TEAM. WHEN SPLITTER WAS OUT OF THE COURT TAU BECAMES AWFULL, TERRIBLE, DULL..... AND THEN, WHEN NEVEN PUT HIM IN THE COURT AGAIN, THE DEFENSE OF THE TEAM INCREASED SPECTACULARY AND THAT MADES EASIER TO PLAY MUCH BETTER THAN IN THE FIRST PART OR IN THE THIRD PART. BESIDES, AS FAST AS SPLITTER STAYED ON THE COURT HE STARTED TO SHOOT AND TAU GAVE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO THESE ARE SOME OF THE REASON WHY TO MANY TAU'S FANS THINK SPLITTER IS AN INCREDIBLE MAN, DO YO NEED ANY MORE????????? :spin :elephant

[GrandeDavid]

you are the shit compared to most of our gibberish-typing player-advocating foreigners :tu

[ploto]

Actually, Splitter plays a lot like Rasho. He is aggressive and physical on defense but soft on offense- shooting little hook shots and floaters. Seriously. The best comparison for him to any of the recent Spurs big men is Rasho.

:rolleyes
Splitter is ten times quicker than Rasho and dunks ten times more.

which Rasho are we talking abt here?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Rasho was a physical defender. He was passive on O, but you can't fault his D, so what's your point?

[Hemotivo]

a better version of biedrins?

[timmy21_4rings]

This guy never recovered on any rotation...Too slow to cover even NY Curry..How physical was he? I have never read any player saying he is a physical defender and it is too tough to go against him etc....I do not understand when someone says Rasho is a physical defender.....give me a break..

[objective]

Biedrins is a much better shotblocker

And unlike Rasho, Splitter can actually run up and down a basketball court. Fast break points from Rasho were non-existant.

[timmy21_4rings]

Sounds like a good comparison...Lot better than Rasho's comparison...But I think Tiago is taller than Biedrins...

Hmmmm, I rememebr his weakside D as pretty decent and his man-on-man as tough, especially against big guys like Shaq. He'd always fight them for position and rarely let them get easy shots off. I'm not saying he was up there with Tim or anything, but he was no defensive slouch.
