Looking for positives? He had a couple of very nice steals tonight and good 3 point play, right when we needed it, when Blair was out.
But it seems he took 4(gasp) shots and missed 3 of them. OMG, he's so utterly lost...
Yeah, let's write him off before he's had a chance to adjust to the NBA...

he is still a rookie...
RJ was very experienced when we got him and yet he totally looked lost in each and every game in the spurs system....splitter still needs some time to get used to the NBA and spurs system....
This has actually been the perfect scenario for Splitter this season cause the team does not need to depend on his play to win games. Not worried at all about his play cause he will catch up with the speed of the game and eventually fit right in. Guess he really is the only thing to about on this team so far for those who simply must find something to complain about.
Experience and familiarity with the offense won't amount to a hill of beans because Splitter is slow and unathletic. Trade him for another big man before Feb 21 imo.
, you my friend are a dumbass...Splitter is a rookie so I was simply comparing his rookie year with scola's. Do you really think Scola was the player of today when he entered the NBA? The fact you say Splitter should not be playing really indicates who has no clue..
You are clueless. Splitter is NOT a rookie. He's been playing professional ball since 2003. He's 26 years old and will be entering his prime next year. Scola is 10x the athlete Splitter is or ever will be. He also received quality minutes against first and second units in his rookie season while Splitter struggles in mop up duties.
Come to think of it, Yavozerb sounds kind of familiar. You were one of the few pill popping goonies hassling Pop to play Mahimni, Gist, and Hairston over the regulars.

Well look at this by looking at the PFs in West that Splitter guy has a PER in Hollinger's system about the same as Bonner and DeMarcus Cousins and not far behind Blair and guy has a TS% of 0.545 better than a number of players above him including that guy named Scola.
Yeh give up on the guy = idiocy - this guy has serious potential to get better based on what he already demonstrated playing against some pretty stout international compe ion and needs only to adjust to the NBA and get some more playing time. In the interim he takes charges & is not afraid to at least man up to the bigs etc. His PER is actually higher than that of Dice's - stats of course do not tell the whole story but I believe Pop and is staff have a plan for Splitter otherwise he would not be with the Spurs and I trust in that.
Yeah STIFFLER is some shyt...
Just like RJ, let's give him a year.
Guess you have no idea about either player and then you try to explain to everyone about my posting and you still have no idea...

Ok, lets start with scola. Since he will be 31 years old this season and this is his 4th season how old do you think he was his rookie season? Let me help you out since you may have some problems with math as well, 27. I am not and never have said he will be as good as scola but look at scola's numbers and see that he has gotten better with each year in the NBA, that in my opinion is due to him getting more familer with the NBA. I have already posted his rookie numbers and as you can see, his rookie season is about the same in ppg and rpg if you double up splitters minutes to equal scola's mpg thats season.
As far as Mahinmi and Hairston I am sure I was not on either of there bandwagons so you have once again made an ass of yourself..please stop and move on to other threads.
If you can't conquer third string, you don't deserve more playing time. Scola played meaningful minutes his rookie season and still putting up solid numbers comparable to Ginobili's rookie season.Guess you have no idea about either player and then you try to explain to everyone about my posting and you still have no idea...

And by using your logic, Mahimni averaged 3.5 ppg in 4 minutes. He too would post Scola's numbers in his rookie season given the opportunity I suppose. Obviously, your not a very good judge of talent.
Splitter's can't create his own shot to save his life (although sometimes he gets the whistle on his half-baked hook shot), rebounding is pathetic (only 7- footer in the league that bats the ball around with one hand instead of securing it with two), and he can't block shots (its difficult when your constantly lying on your back begging the ref to bail you out). All three characteristics are key to becoming the least bit relevant at the center position. Even if he gets marginally better, he won't be a productive, reliable NBA center.
P.S. So you admit you were on the Gist bandwagon.

Next year all these doubters will be all over that Golden God shlong.
Year two is usually when it clicks, if it's going to, in the Spurs system. He might deserve minutes then. He doesn't now.
Give me a break. Euroleague's higher level ball than division 1. If he can compete at a high level there he's got the potential to here.
He was good in the first half with the starters. He doesn't look good when he plays garbage minutes with the bench. He just needs consistent minutes. Then he won't be overly eager and force it when he does get minutes.
ST gods please capture a top-10 worst post of the year.
Y'all takin' the bait!
I guess he is the new RJ. I can just picture my self reading all the good things about Splitter come next year.
He sucks for now.
Hopefully he can refine his game to NBA standards. Was he playing against players 6'5 and shorter in europe? Bc it seems like when he shoots that damn hook shot he gets no elevation on his jump and on his shot. Like he expects to jump 2 inches off the ground and DROP the ball in the basket. I HONESTLY think about 1/4 of his field goal attempts have been blocked this year.
^^
this
he isn't playing against euro-teenagers any more
I
Note for the people who claim Splitter is not athletic:
Go out and buy a new brain to yourselves
He doesn't try to block shots that's the only problem I have with him besides his poor rebounding against short players.
