    I can only assume, given your posting history, that you'd prefer Bonner get his minutes...

    SequSpur, ladies and gentlemen.

    He's only pleased when rookies who aren't getting calls are going for 20 and 14 a night.

    More famous than this was his declaration about December of 2002 of

    "Manu = Manure"

    and

    "Stephen Jackson should be selling popcorn up in section 200 he belongs nowhere close to a basketball court"

    He can take a charge? He tries really hard? Other than that, I'm all out of ideas.

    Well the guy was the MVP in the euroleague, so he is obviously a force down there. Otherwise, he hasn't had the opportunity to show what he can do in the NBA.

    Here is why the spurs gambled on him tho. He is a smart basketball player. He has energy. He plays the pick&roll better than the average person. And when he gets fed the ball, he is competent in the post. He can average double digits in points and maybe 7 rebounds a game down the road. His biggest asset is defense. He will be a solid starter for the spurs in the future.

    Splitter had a golden oportunity to shine against a ty bench in a 30 pt blowout and didn't deliver much.

    Dude, he barely put up those numbers in ty EU. Wake the up and stop being a sucker if you can help it.
    Shut the up Luva, you ing sand ###### you.
    Have you even seen Splitter play? Or was this just a good opportunity
    to do some more trolling? At least Splitter doesn't complain about "fatigue" like a little . He's a ing rookie for christ sakes, how could you expect him to come to the NBA guns blazing?

    God you're such an incompetent person.

    How was he going to prove something when the other players were shooting once they touched the ball no passing at all...... look what happens when he plays with manu and tony he got 18 points.... his pick and roll is dangerous

    You should take your own advice.

    But I doubt you do. You love the taste of KoolAIDS_Man's too much.

    AI syndrome, lots of guys can put up semi-impressive numbers when they get lots of minutes and the ball in their hands with nothing to lose.

    He definitely rolls when he picks, but he's still not playing very effectively right now. He could do a much better job on timing his cuts and setting better picks. He atleast appears very uncomfortable out there.

    Another solid take by Sequ. But once again, it seems to be falling on deaf ears. Blind, deaf and dumb is what you all are.
    You looking up to the midget says more about you than you'll ever say.

    I don't ever recall him being seen as an elite level player in the Euroleague.
    2007-08 All-Euroleague First Team
    2008-09 All-Euroleague Second Team
    2009-10 All-Euroleague Second Team

    Splitter wasn't Euroleague MVP as some mistakenly believe. but calling him "not elite" in the Euroleague is about as wrong as that.
    would you ever call a player, who makes the All NBA First or Second team 3 times in three years "NOT elite" in the NBA?

    Tiago Splitter was never MVP of the Euroleague. IMHO, from watching him over the years, I never once considered him a top 5 center in the Euroleague. I am not in the least bit disapointed by Splitter so far. He is adjusting to the different rules, coming off an injury, and he missed most of the training period.

    So he is doing fine. It's just a simple fact that this board has overrated how good he was in Europe to the point of absurdity. I don't ever recall him being seen as an elite level player in the Euroleague. Just a very solid one. I assure you that he was never anything close to MVP level in the Euroleague, not remotely so.

    Just give the guy some time to adjust and lower your expectations to something more realistic. He will be a good role player, just give him some time.
    I've been reading your posts and what exactly do you think people are expecting Splitter to be? I'm expecting about 10 and 8, with very good defense to go along with that. Do you think people are expecting 20 and 10 or something? What is your expectations?

    To me, I thought he was going to be a huge key on defense and play with TD so we can get a twin tower effect going and close down the lane, but Pop hasn't done that and I'm starting to think he's not going to play him with TD much at all which I think is stupid. You can't keep talking about defense and then play Matt Bonner all the time.

    '

    All-NBA is not voted online by fans. All-Euroleague is voted online by fans. I watched Splitter play many, many times in the last 3 years in the Euroleague. He was not a top 5 Euroleague center at any time.

    He was never an "elite" Euroleague player by any stretch of the imagination. I don't think he was ever even the best player on his own team.
    wonder whos troll this is... you dont know what the your talking about.
