so yeah i would rather have mcroberts than splitter, but im not a gm, so who gives a fuck, i guess we'll see in a few years
It was more of a joke.
Whats that got to do with Tiago Splitter?Quote:
No tpark is a pretty fat guy

Just because he does it in college, doesn't mean he can do it in the NBA.
So thats a yes on the Spurs management sucks?Quote:

I think Tiago projects as a bench player that plays 10 to 15 minutes per night, and gets you a few hustle points now and then and maybe he grabs a few boards once in a while too.
I'm doing what again? Repeating what your saying?Quote:

You said Sixers management sucks
I said spurs passed over him, so does the Spurs management suck?
You answer with "Well theyve passed over so and so and so and so"
So I assumed that meant a yes.
Take a pill dude.
And on the other end of the spectrum....look at the teams that passed on Fabs, Manu, And Tony Parker.Quote:

Every team's FO makes mistakes...it is how they deal with them that makes them stand apart from everyone else....the Spurs have shown a near mastery of dealing with "mistakes" like this.
Tiago's competition is alot tougher than Cherokee McRobert's comp.Quote:
well at least he does it in college, splitter doesnt do any of those things
the sixers suck because they need a pf and they passed on mcroberts twice.
i was merely stating that the spurs can miss a player once in a while
I'd take the winner of the ACC against the top euro team any dayQuote:

It is also vice-versa.....some poor college players sometimes turn out to be solid stars.

OOOOK chief.
You take the Florida Gators, I'll take Tau Ceramica.
No problemo.
I always thought Tiago was overrated when he was being mentioned as a lotery pick, but at 28 he's a good pick. He's a good rebounder, his athleticism is good, not spectacular. His shooting and basketball iq are a suspect, but they can be worked on. He's still young (particulary for a big) and has some upside, but then again no that mush. Overall a good pick for the spurs (especially at 28), that i belive will serve them well.
Do you a have link to the numbers to back this up?Quote:

Actually I think it is the other way around....why else would NBA teams calling on these Euro players for....because they can't play? If the NCAA player would rely less on being on ESPN's highlights than actually playing team ball like they do in the Euro league maybe I would agree....but I don't.

Talk about prejudice.
Gee....I wonder if it is because they are already being paid to play big money over there. Because the NBA teams can't pay enough to buyout contracts?Quote:

Who is Mr. Chokes a alot anyways?Quote:
