That works for 20 minutes, I'm not sure about the other 20 minutes every game that Ibaka will be on the court?

Is Pop crazy enough to have put Splitter in the starting lineup so he could drop his numbers. Tiago was dominating at times with the bench unit and posting some good numbers. He's probably not going to be cheap to resign next season and putting him in the starting 5 kind of drops his numbers a bit.
I want him in the starting 5, just throwing that crazy theory out there.
spurs need to trade manu that is what they need to do with him
someone like the nuggets would flat overpay for him
Jeff McDonald @JMcDonald_SAEN Pop on Tiago Splitter: "He's every coach's dream because he does everything so fundamentally sound."

It Splitter's starting job to lose, Pop? "He's starting for us. Just leave it at that. I don't know what's going to happen in the future."
I think a Mills and Ginobili pairing would be extremely deadly indeed. Let Mills eat Neal's minutes.
I'm thinking that Pop is going all or nothing this year, and with a TD this good he basically has to. Everybody understands that come playoff time, the starting unit and how they perform is what matters the most. Rotations change, the bench gets smaller..So in that regard starting Splitter is a good thing. We'll need heavy production from both centers to compete and those two together like Bruno pointed out is the best line-up out there. We need good 1st and 3d quarters, especially on the defensive end. When it matters TP, TD, Manu, Splitter and Kawhi should all play 30+min. Diaw, Neal and Jack (especially) will cover most of the rest.
