Tiago finally stepped it up the way the Spurs needed him to tonight. :tu Him switching onto Conley and contesting that last second shot at the end of regulation was huuuge.

Tiago's defense is extremely underrated. This dude is shifty and knows the other team's offense really well. His instincts are one of the best I've seen on defense in terms of tracking the ball and tracking the movement of the other team's 5.
I've always been a pretty big Tiago-homer. :p:
I remember when we were all so infuriated last year when Pop would NOT let him and Timmy play together at all. We were completely besides ourselves. It made complete sense to all of us--why didn't Pop get it?
Well... things are different now. It is truly a beautiful thing to watch Tiago progressing on the court alongside Timmy indeed. At last. :cry
I wish Pop would have played them together from day 1 in '10-'11. We might have had another ring or two.Quote:

Did you get a look at his face during the replay? He had a smile on his face while he was shooting it like Bobby Boucher in the Waterboy...priceless.Quote:

Based on that, Splitter is worth probably up to 10M.
7-8M tbhQuote:

That would be the ideal price tbh. However, he will likely get a better offer from a crappy team with money to throw around. Hope he follows the Big 3 philosophy of staying with this franchise for less money.Quote:

Nothing different than he's done all playoffs except that he hit a couple of baskets. Hard not to when the Grizzlies throw everything at trying to stop the three pointers.
Back-loaded, "poison pill" contract that made it difficult for the Bulls to match. Same type that Jeremy Lin gotQuote:

What happens if someone gives the Splitter a poison pill contract? Maybe that's what the Trailblazers should have done to get Hibbert.Quote:

ive been telling some of you who think he can be had for $7m that hell go for much more. McGee and DeAndre Jordan go for $10.5m and $10.75m and after all the gms see the importance of a big man this playoffs in ind mem and sas, hell get his money
This. He disappears for long stretches. He would be the kind of signing that could get a GM fired if you're expecting an alpha big man.Quote:
