Tiago Splitter is a Spur, baby!

[DMX7]

Unfortunately the video of Buford calling him Varejao wasn't up on youtube last I checked. Plus there's not much really impressive in that video anyway.

Yeah, whatever helps you sleep at night.

Da kids a player, you'll learn the hard way though.

Yeah...nothing impressive...I mean, every day you see a 7 footer picking a pass off at the 3 point line and breaking away for a reverse slam. Happens all the time...totally average 7 footer.

Tbh Brendan Haywood's youtube video look more athletic than Tiago and no one's ever confused him with the 1995 version of David Robinson in terms of athleticism.

I don't know who you're arguing with. I'm not saying anybody is the next David Robinson. Throwing this Brendan Haywood thing out there is completely random, as if athleticism = greatness. I don't know if you know this but Tim Duncan has never really been Dr. J himself, yet he has 4 rings. There's more to basketball than being an athlete.

[ChumpDumper]

lakerfan is impressively insecure.

[TinTin]

It's common knowledge. He's never been listed as a great athlete for a 6'10-7'0 guy like a KG or an Odom. Your own team's GM compared him to Varejao, who couldn't check Rashard Lewis in the 2009 Eastern Conference Finals. He's going to be having to stay with stretch fours as they sprint to the three point line in translation and run the wings on fast breaks. Good luck with that.

We were talking about mobility. I think he has respectable movement for a bigman and his athleticism is between average and great. Not every team has a Kg or an odom

I don't see how that is still not enough to keep up stretch fours.

And the whole argument that having Duncan and Splitter simultaneously wont work is garbage. You can't talk about positions being absolute otherwise there would be nothing called match ups or interchangeable F/C

The Robinson comment was deriding Haywood. The point is Splitter is no more of an athlete than Haywood who's nothing special.

and that's important because...?

[Killakobe81]

its funny to picture you saying this in real life.

It's quite possible and logical to be both.

He'd get shot.

Read through the thread I explained why.

I'm arguing against the two center lineup working in today's league especially if the two centers (Duncan and Splitter) are average athletes. I'm not arguing Splitter isn't good. , on a team like OKC he'd be a god send. Gasol and Bynum works in LAL because Gasol is very quick on his feet plus they have Odom who can come in and guard stretch fours if necessary.

We have Bonner now to guard stretch fours ...

I lived in Sa ... that place is soft. I never once feared for my life ...

I wore my Lakers gear everywhere ...

I've seen Laker transplants in San Antonio with their Lakers gear. You can tell they're too poor to live in L.A. (the parts that aren't gang ridden).

[4>0rings]

but the made bandwaggoners...

All the while this dumb lives in Texas, probably home schooled.

[Killakobe81]

Maybe. I dont care. I pay my ducats to go to a game in another teams city I rep my squad and and I yell and cheer win or lose I get my $'s worth.

One of the best was When Mason hit that shot after Kobe did the BIG balls dance ...

So we ... lost but it was fun!! Spur fans talked I talked back. It was great times ...

AND THAT is what I miss on here ...now it's all this one is a rapist, Collusion, injuries, Stern wants this ...it used be healthy trashtalk ...

I miss the old spurstalk NBA forum ...even beforeI joined i used to read the Piston vs. Spur stuff ...

This All-spurstalk was supposed to help ...but it hasnt. dont get me wrong SOME Lkare fans on here are part of the problem ...but the lack of Quality Spur posts are to blame as well ..

I lived North of StoneOak
I lived in LA for over 20 years but nice try
I lived in New York

I live in Frisco now ...

I have lived in rich and poor areas so what is the point?

[4>0rings]

So go back to living in LA then.

[ChumpDumper]

You lived on the means streets of Bulverde?

[Killakobe81]

LOL Not one person has spoke up about what happened to the Spurs confidence, pride or SWAG ...

All i got was more of the same crap ...stay Classy NBA forum ...

[Mugen]

Killa got his swag circa February 2008.

When will you get yours back Spurfan?

[midnightpulp]

I must admit some of these pissants have brought out my piss and vinegar ...sorry LOL

BUT

You have to admit Dunc ...the site has changed.

Spur fans used to post about THEIR team ...and they had such pride in Duncan Manu and Pop... I know i LIVED there in SA for 3 years ...and they did NOT concede to us or to anyone.

I KNOW the Heat look strong ...Id be dumb or blind not to admit it ...

But the REASON why i came to this site because of the great back and forth between the Spur and Pistons fans ...

I guess i wish more folks (all teams) would stand bewhind their OWN team and FTW!!!

But it seems there are only a few like yourself that do so ...

Oh and blame Harlem, Midnight and Miamiheat for the new me ...

Luva, Cobbler and Cully are my Laker brothers ... but I follow my own path!!


Sidenote: i was asking a legit question ...what has happened to the REAL spur fan? the pride seems to be replaced by a lot of hate not just on the Lakers either ...

?????

All I do is talk about the Lakers.

I thought that's what you wanted, the back-and-forth banter between fans of rival teams?
