I like how you used that you lived in Spain as a way of making you a credible source ;)
Seriously though, I hope to hell you're right.
I think we would be fortunate either way.Quote:

I hope your right, but splitter playing like robin lopez is more of what im expecting from splitters in his rookie season. but if you say hes more of a brook lopez type of player then my expectations of the team this year just got higher.
:lmao wow...

I heard it too, but I'll be disappointed if I don't see more out of Splitter than you do Varejao. If anything, his midrange jumper should make a world of difference between the two. It opens up a lot.Quote:

You're way off man, take it from me, I've been to Vegas many times, although not this year, and Gary Neal is exactly = Mario Elie 2.0! (except for the toughness and defense of course)Quote:

I really done see the Robin Lopez similarities. Maybe defensively they are similar (although i think Robin is the better defender).. but Splitter is the more polished offensive player and has more weapons in his arsenal. The key difference is Splitter should be able to create his own from time to time by operating on the block, where as Lopez hasnt got the offensive game to do that.
In terms of game style, i think Brooke Lopez is the better comparison, although this doesnt mean Splitter will be as good, i just see similarities in their game, albeit slightly watered down similarities.
Brook Lopez is a bit bigger, he's an inch taller and is much longer.
Lopez's Wingspan-7'5.5
Splitter's Wingspan-7'2
Standing Reach
Lopez-9'5
Splitter-9'1.5
Splitter weighed in at 233lbs while Brook is at 260.
Splitter seems to be quicker though
Lane Agility Lopez-12.77 secs 3/4 court sprint 3.57
Lane Agility Splitter-11.65 (that's a huge difference) 3/4-3.38
Keep in mind these stats were taken 3 years ago for Splitter.
Right now Splitter is around 250lbs. I think Splitter will be a better defender than Lopez but I don't think he'll be able to match Lopez's offensive production.
I hope to god that Lopez isn't too soft because Europeans can be too soft.

I lived in el paso and tony parker is as fast a............http://www.saintsbaseball.org/images/road_runner.jpg
Lopez can shoot from mid-range. But according to timvp, Splitter hardly shoot.
p.s. I live in China and Yi Jianlian is like Duncan or Garnett in their prime years here.
Nba Playoffs are not physical?Quote:

I know you guys probably think I am crazy, but I am really grateful that we have R.C. & Pop. We lost so many talented managers to other NBA teams, but somehow we are able to keep R.C. and Pop.
:lol I see what you did there. :toastQuote:

Solid bump tbh.
