The DeSagna Diop's of this league only take you that far. Ask Dallas.
I don't think we're in this to flame out eventually. You want solid pieces, no one or two game gimmicks.
LOL @ posters grasping at anything they can to stay positive about Tiago.
Sets good picks
Gets to correct spots on floor
Takes charges
Makes passes that lead to passes that lead to assists
Good positional defender
Just accept hes been a failure pretty much so far yet the Spurs are still 40-7.
He's a rookie and rooks USUALLY get better and the spurs are still #1 in the league. Thats about as positive about Tiago as I can get.

Do you think it is easier for a rookie big to recieve minutes with the rockets or the spurs? Its a fact that a rookie at any position receives well below the average minutes with the spurs due to pops philosophy with rooks.
LOL@ people who think they know more about Spur players than the coaching staff!!
I'm curious, what numbers did you expect Tiago to put up? Were your expectations high b/c the Spurs waited a long time for him and he was a star in the International scene?
Pop warned that we should not expect too much from Tiago the first year. So why are some people surprised that he is not doing much now...
The point that I'm making is that many people say he looks lost out there. I used "setting a pick" as an example. We aren't in the practices or in the huddle during the game (at least I'm not). So he may very well be doing what he's suppose to do. Obviously he doesn't have any plays set for him! There are people and you may be one of them, that think "Tiago Splitter star international player" should be putting up 15/10 a game.
Exactly! Best post of the day!!
Honestly 8/6 and Yes.
I'm still hopeful he can adjust late this year. If not, I'm pretty sure he'll be much better next year, both offensively and defensively.
It would just be bad ass if he could contribute defensively THiS year in the playoffs because that's the peice I think we are missing to really have a great chance to win it all.
Another lie to make people feel better about draft picks who do not pan out.
OMG! Are you kidding me? Dude, take off your SA Spurs panties already and watch a ing game....
Splitter in the game last night = spurs loss....Splitter goes out, Spurs dominate... I sat courtside last night, saw it with my own eyes...Dude is softer than Beno and has no offensive game!!!! lol....
Soft Brazillian?
I thought you needed to be tough just to survive growing up in Brazil streets? Isn't street fighting like a national pastime there?
they guy gets rejected and smiles...he runs around lollygaggin, out of positions and smiles like he is playing red rover red rover...
dude is soft.
He must have grown up in the suburbs.
It's a matchup game and the guy gives the team another 7 foot big. I think, at times, if DeJuan channels some Wes Unseld, okay not Wes, how about some Glen Baby Davis?, then Splitter won't be needed against the tall lineups, specifically the LAL. But again, having a guy be disruptive for a series could be important. It's like Steve Kerr going off against Dallas in 03. After that 3 point barrage, you barely saw Steve unless the situation called for it. I expect the same for Splitter. It's good that Pop still has that option in his Swiss Army knife. I ain't ing that he didn't hit the projections, why should I? The Spurs are 40-7![]()
spurs panties on.
the real season hasn't even started mav fan or should I say suns fan?
Exactly, He's a 7 footer that doesn't play like a big-man, He plays much smaller than his hight, and he can't hit a jumper which pretty much renders him utterly useless to us.......
....oh yeah I forgot, he's got a good understanding of the pick and roll so he's supposed to be our savior...
Tigao Splatter is not good...
See...You are ing bi-polar. DO they suck or not? With Splitter on the team, do they suck or not? Panties? What do you know about them underoo man?
Step up on a stool and learn something. Mavs and Suns suck...you should know that little person.
Regular season...stop the premature ejaculation splitter fan...
This is all you got Sequ? Why talk about premature ejaculation, everyone knows since you're so small that your main issue is that you can't get up!
Besides, I ain't upset that Pop has a 7 footer he can use that doesn't really hurt the team. Just being on the court makes the guy more valuable than Mahinmi ever was.
Get up!!!! Never mind, for you, the term needed is erectile dysfunction.
I can't wait until Splitter shows all those busting him right now all wrong. You have to look at all the little things he does without having a real feel for the team nor the league. He is very smart in case you didn't know it. He will beef up over the summer, work on his shot, and know that he is playing a second year with the team.
