Mike Redd Is So Good, Don't Know Why That Dude From China Don't Want To Play With Him
splitter looks like a steal.
Mike Redd Is So Good, Don't Know Why That Dude From China Don't Want To Play With Him
I thought it was more that the Chinese didn't want Yi in Milwaukee?
Agreed. This is the best I've seen Splitter play, especially when considering the compe ion. He played like he knew he belonged ... which is what I was looking for the most.
In Spain he loafs a lot and doesn't seem to be into it 100% of the time. But perhaps he's one of those players who just needs more of a challenge.
Granted it's only one game but I'm glad Splitter showed he can hang. He still needs to play a little tougher but he's going to be solid in the NBA. Nothing spectacular but something like 10 points and eight rebounds isn't too unrealistic.
oh they learned their lesson and will try to do it right this time huh
VERY clean block by Tiago...bull foul.
Amare--- off and die along with the rest of you Suns fans
Yup. For all you who think Bill Walton is garbage, he to me is the best story teller of today. Listen to any of his podcasts that he sometimes does on ESPN, or watch the UCLA Dynasty story on HBO, and you'll agree. But earlier in the game, Walton aluded to the Chinese economy being the focus of so many corporations and industries in the world simply because of its enormous size of 1.3 Billion (1 out of every 7 on earth). The Chinese don't see Milwaukee as doing anything for the earning potential of Yi Jianlian, and would like to see him go to at least a mid major market. I'm sure that the NBA is prolly thinking the same thing too. Who would really wanna follow the Bucks? Who in the world actually even knows where Milwaukee is? Or even what a buck is? It's all about money.
Can't wait for Tiago....
Two good points taken from the game:
1) Splitter looks like he is NBA-ready. Can't wait to see what he can do with the Spurs.
2) Barbosa hasn't learned his lesson from the '07 playoffs. Hard to cherry-pick when you're actually being defended, isn't it?
Hopefully Splitter will be a Biendris level player.
Decent comparison but Biedrins >>>> Splitter. More athletic, better rebounder and tools to be a better defender. And younger.
Too bad they played Splitter out beyond the 3 pt arc all night. And his teammates seemed to freeze him out, didn't give him the ball at all in the second half or try to set up pick and rolls.
But he kept hustling and going after rebounds and covering up his teammates defensive lapses. Put Billups out of the game by going for a rebound hard. I like this kid.
Box Score
Splitter finished with 13 points and nine rebounds in 26 minutes. Led the team in both points and rebounds.
The box score has him down for no assists ... but I distinctly remember one. Splitter also got credit for the only block on the night for Brazil, yet I remember more than just one block by their team.
I guess the refs and the stat keeper had it out for them
Splitter played well. I liked his defensive position, nice back door pass and took the charge against Kobe. The block on Amare was good and the foul bogus. With our coaching staff this guy can only get better. Needs a few more pounds and work on his mid range jump shot. This is more and more looking like a steal for us. He wiil fit well into our system.
Garcia looked nice and e seems to have overcome his injury. Wonder if he can be gotten or at least brought to training camp. Don't know his contract status which wold tell a lot. Better than Beno.
Barbosa - will he ever get it? No Nash to set him up and he can't create his own shot. Ball hog to say the least.
Hope T Prince's ankle gets better. From what I saw it didn't look serious. Hope that's the case. Love his game.
splitter>scola
Scola>Splitter
Offense - Scola >>> Splitter
Defense - Splitter >>> Scola
I think it will be interesting seeing a Brazilian and one or two Argentines on the same Spurs team and how well they interact, both on and off the court.
I have been wondering about that myself. Though Splitter ethnically really looks more Argentine than Brazilian.
Splitter looked pretty good...but this game shows the USA's determination to play D and it all starts with Kobe....
I know Argentina has already advanced, but Panama is giving them problems.
69-61 Panama with 7:20 left.
Scola just got his fourth foul.
Panama blew its lead with horrible choke turnovers, but recovered. It's going into overtime. Scola and Lloreda have fouled out.
It won't be a problem. Tiago and Scola are best friends in Spain
I'm very happy with Tiago. His defense is really good and the guy love to go after rebs. Spurs don't have a player who likes to go to the glass like Tiago. He needs to improve his ofense game but he'll work with the best TD and I think he can learn a lot.
Alex is loking good too. I hope some team give him a chance on training camp.
Nene is fat again and Leandro showed what he does best, choke, like he did in the WC Semis.
ok,before the tournament I thought Argentina wasn´t gonna make it in Vegas,playing without Manu,Oberto,Nocioni,Herrmann,Sanchez,Volkowisky etc...
But now,after 4 games,I started to belive we can steal the 2nd place from Brazil.
Too bad our Dream team is not available right now............USA team would´ve been a peace of cake for us.
