No.
Splitter started one game. If Splitter starts as many games next to Timmy as Blair did, then you will know what Splitter can do.
Just the fact that the Spurs and Lakers started the game with no team having a clear advantage gave the Lakers some pause and the Spurs some confidence...
The last game was Bynum/Gasol playing volleyball at the rim to start the game...

When Bynum is on his game there isn't a player in the league who can slow him down, much less stop him. Tiago's job was to make Bynum/Pau actually work for their numbers while also allowing Tim to focus on his assignment without having to constantly keep an eye on both opposing bigs. That was a huge problem against Memphis. Duncan was constantly trying to defend both Gasol and Randolph due to Blair's defensive worthlessness.
In the second half the Spurs defense really got into a rhythm and started swarming Bynum and Pau from all angles. The defense needs to keep that intensity when Splitter is defending Bynum. They can't relax just because Splitter isn't 6'5", or Matt Bonner.
Exactly if a 7ft Splitter still needs occasional help on Bynum Blair has no chance.

Apparently, the rest of you were as smart as Pop. Thanks for catching up.
ZZZZING!!
Pulling out a chumpdumper classic and using it against hordes... Priceless.

Oh look, how cute, the retard learned a new word from timvp. Expect it to be part of her next 12000 posts on how Pop is the worst coach in the world.

Splitfuck....your little Tiago hatred is getting boring....and your Popsucker status is stupidity personified.
Just STFU before you embarrass yourself again.
Re: I hope ST learned a valuable lesson tonight
lol hordes.
It's not like other people didn't want to see Splitter and Duncan play together. We just knew posting about it on a message board every day didn't make it happen.

Re: I hope ST learned a valuable lesson tonight
This "valuable lesson" was learned by most people here midway through last season. Most knew that Bonner would never be relegated to 5th big status and that Blair should be the odd man out in the bigman rotation. Just took a ass pounding at home courtesy of the Baby Drew crew to convince Pop.
And i get the sense that OP is still trying to lump Bonner & Tiago into the same class of NBA player. Neither might be "stars" but comparing a 6'11" bigman who can protect the rim, is a solid passer, great PnR player, and former Euroleague MVP to a role player who only has one above average NBA skill is laughable, tbh.

However...posting thousands of times in defense of Pop's decisions...made sense to you.
Brilliant.
