    Splitter will warm up into the role of starting center but that will not and it should not happen for a couple of months.

    Blair needs to come off the bench. He is pushing himself to hard as a starter. He forces way too much in what looks like an attempt to show that he belongs. On the bench, he would be free to post while Anderson and Neal spread the floor with their threes.

    Coming off the bench Blair would probably post 8-10 points per game and he would grab 6-8 rebounds. He would probably foul less as well as he would be going against lesser talent for longer periods of time.

    dont let me get in the way of the suckin' bro. go rite ahead.

    I was jus sayin' its waaaay to early to start.
    It's not waaaaay too early to say Splitter has done exceptionally well, and clearly shown he is starter capable based on the sample size, and his previous European accomplishments.

    It's never waaaay too early for greyfan to be a dumbass.

    Nevermind the tallness or the length or the crisp rotations or the post defense or the hustle that Splitter has showed in limited time in only two games...

    Tiago played for 15 minutes last night and had 3 offensive boards and drew 3 offensive fouls. That is six extra possessions for the Spurs, in a game that they only won by 2.

    If you can't do the math and figure out how that is beneficial to the Spurs, then I am afraid that I can't help you.

    i want to see splitter play with the first team and see how it pans out, he cant do worse with the first team only better, manu and tony will help him get easy shots and i think he would do much better starting than coming off the bench and playing with george hill and the second team

    It's interesting how people are interested in who starts.

    I have always been interested in finishing close games, not starting.

    Those are the best players.

    And Blair wouldn't be finishing many close games at the moment.
    Whether he starts or not.
    The best way to not end up with a close game at the end is to start strong. It's difficult for an NBA team to dig out of a hole when they give up a big early lead. You want your best players to finish the game, but you also want those players on the floor at the very beginning.

    I think that the people that liked his game and are predicting he'll be a force, etc, should and wait a little bit more because he'll gather a lot of haters here, he already gathered some...

    Let's wait and see how he does when he's averaging 20mpg

    Are you kidding me, Splitter looked good last night??? Yeah right. Through 7 minutes he had 3 fouls. He has a long LONG way to go. 7 points and 3 rebounds is not impressive. As for Blair, he looks terrible this year, just TERRIBLE. I dunno what it is, call it what you want, maybe he needs to come off the bench, maybe not. He did perform well off the bench last year. But this year he is really struggling. The Spurs need to get some size, and they need it bad. Maybe Splitter will improve as the year goes on, but enough to contend? I'm not sold on that. We still need another guy in the range of 7 foot, give or take a couple inches, and we don't have the pieces for a trade. Trading anyone of value to get a player of value, and the Spurs are right where they started. The roster now, plus a solid big man would be nice. Next years draft pick maybe??? I don't have a good answer, and obviously neither does the front office, this has been a problem since 04. Scola........

    Another person who only observes pt totals and "sexy" stats for evaluating a player. If you would have actually watched the game you would have noticed all the positive things he was doing on both ends of the court.

    But hey sorry Splitter didn't score 20 and 10 in his 2nd career NBA game.

    Correct. Stats only tell a very small part of the story. Too many people fail to realize that 90% of the game is played off the ball.

    Not a troll, just giving my honest opinion. If Blair continues to stink he needs to take a sit but McDyess is the big man who has the most familiarity with the system.
    I like Splitter, I am half brazilian and would like to see him succeed in a Spurs uniform but to me he looked like he lacked conditioning and didn't know where he was supposed to be on several possessions.
    Familiarity is probably the wrong word.....seeing as how they have been in the same system for the same amount of time. Vet. experience yes.

    Splitter hasnt impressed that much. Maybe he just needs more time but all this Splitter sucking just seems premature.
    Your lack of common sense makes me think you were premature. How do you get along in life handicapped such as you are?

    Splitter off to promising start
    by jmcdonald

    ...Just wait until he’s actually in shape and knows what he’s doing.

    “I think day by day I’ll improve and get in shape,” said Splitter, who missed the preseason with a strained muscle in his right calf. “It was two months without playing a game. I’m trying to catch my teammates. They’re already in shape and playing very good.”
