Shoulda traded Boris instead of him tbh.
If Tiago was healthy, he'd have been a better pairing with West than Diaw.
If Tiago was hurt, Pop would have been forced to play small or play Boban.
Either way the Spurs come out ahead.

That explains everything.
Hawks wouldn't have taken Diaw
:lol Spurs playoffs runs without a healthy Splitter
MAH NIGGA.
The Golden God......
Jesus would...Jesus loves us all:)Quote:

Isn't Tiago moving to the announcer booth?
Also, Tiago would have had no trade value as an injured player this offseason while Diaw has value given the structure of his deal (partially guaranteed this offseason before late July, fully unguaranteed heading into the following offseason = allows teams to trade salary to clear cap space.
dude's probably huehuehuehue-ing all over the fuckin floor right now
Yeah Injury prone Tiago.
Splitter is never healthy, including this year

Pop would play bonner then
More like the Horry hip check after the bizzare end of game calls in games 2 and 5 in this series
Parker would also be more mature without his crossiant soiling buddy

that makes a lot more sense. I was thinking "there can't be that many brazilians who watch the nba"...but the olympics? alright.Quote:

I do agree that Splitter (healthy) would have been more useful against OKC. But Diaw was essential / Splitter unplayable against GS.Quote:

Op you crazy. Tiago hasn't been able to run for nearly 3 seasons now.
RIP Tiago
Rest in piss, Shitter.
Stopped reading there, :lol at if he was healthy........Quote:

Well there you go you idiots, sometimes one piece is enough to make us lose a series. Now its crystal clear that without Tiago we lose to Dallas in 6 and we have 4 rings by now. So fuck off and pay homage to him.
Pop would rather have a soft "high IQ" big instead of an aggressive monkey baller. He can bully the former but not the latter.Quote:
