Interesting Article on Splitter, Mahinmi, and Javtokas

[TheProfessor]

Only problem so far I see is hes a little light on the rebounding side.

Alot of that is where he is on the shots and alot of shots are going the opposite ways as well.

Rebounding should translate better from Euroleague, as it did with Scola.

where online or tv are you watching this game u guys are talking about?

nbatv bro...

[anjlbitz]

Is it a one game elimination or is it a series?

[T Park]

This will be one of those picks analysts mention when they talk about the Spurs front office and their draft success. But really, it was just dumb luck and impatience on the part of other teams.

Lucky that he fell? Sure, but still they could've passed over him.

Im glad though they got him in the first round, and not the second.

If it was the second it could've been Scola all over again.

nbatv bro...

thx, I had just found it

[T Park]

From people "in the know" the Splitter dude is supposed to be the real deal.

I know people won't believe me, but talking to some people that know people, they said the Spurs felt Splitter was BETTER than Scola.

I know Mr. Body and Spursdynasty21 won't believe that.

What's the score?

What I mean is, was Jared Dudley really going to make the Bobcats' season, or put them over the top in a few years? Of course not. But Splitter was right there for the taking, and they let him go because they couldn't wait a year. It's insane, and several teams will regret it.

Well they have guys like may, Okafor, and others, so they might have felt they were good at the big position.
That and some still can be a tad stubborn about the euros.

One game elimination.

[T Park]

What's the score?

I believe 39-33 Tau Ceramica on top.

[Harry Callahan]

Will the game be rerun so I can watch it later?

[Bruno]

He's a 66% FT shooter on the season, so he's at least somewhat efficient with that form...

Yes, Splitter isn't a great FT shooter but he isn't an horrible one for a big man.
His injury doesn't help him for sure to shoot FTs.

I believe 39-33 Tau Ceramica on top.

I hope CKSA pulls it out; Sisaukas being available would be an interesting option. I was hoping we'd grab him before he signed with CKSA (IIRC 3 years back. While I like Finley, Sisauskas is something special in Europe, and he might just have been something special in the NBA.)

[velik_m]

Game tied 43 each.

[velik_m]

Bull foul on Smodis. he's on 3.

[timvp]

If Smodis wasn't in horrible shape, he'd be an NBA player.

[timvp]

Tau is collapsing.

[BOHOLANO#21]

Will the game be rerun so I can watch it later?

i hope so too. i'm at work i hope they replay that TAU game...

[anjlbitz]

54-53 Tau

Splitter with 3 fouls

[timvp]

Splitter's flopping is going to piss off a lot of people in the NBA world

[timvp]

Prignoni or whatever his name has an horrendous looking shot.

[BOHOLANO#21]

54-53 Tau

Splitter with 3 fouls

GO TAU GO!!! GO SPLITTER GO!!

[anjlbitz]

73-66 CSKA

D. Andersen is killing.

Splitter with 4 fouls

[timvp]

The Tau coach was horrible in this game. He pulled Splitter when he got his fourth foul and Tau collapsed. Prigioni was also horrible in the fourth. He had four or five major mistakes.
