    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.

    Some people don't see the positives of good positional defense and the value of a pass that leads to the pass that gets the assist. I think he posts pretty well and the last few games, I've seen the perimeter players actually pass him the ball, and that's a positive. Of course he should be making more shots and grabbing rebounds and while I saw a 10 & 7 year possible, provided he got the playing time, I'm thinking that if he gives us the following, all of us Spurs fans will be happy.
    I'm talking about the kind of effect that DeSagna Diop had during OT of Game 7 2006 against the Spurs and Tim. He basically pestered the whole team into a mess of bad shots and outfought Silver and Black to most rebounds. If we get that from Tiago, then we should all be fairly happy...I think. I can't speak for all of you, but as for me...I'd be cool with that.
    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.

    This may be one of the craziest statistical manipulations I have ever seen used on ST. I am sure I can find lots of guys who look good if I double everything!

    There is a reason Scola as a rookie played twice as many MPG as Splitter has, and in more games on top of that. Scola even started half the games his rookie year, and put up his numbers against NBA starters.
    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...

    Maybe you're showing your ignorance in thinking setting a pick and knowing where to go on offensive is NBA quality.

    Plenty of kids in middle school know how to set picks and get to a spot on offense.

    Bottom line is we all (ok most of us) expected more PRODUCTION out of Tiago and he has yet to come through. Not saying he won't, it just hasn't happened yet.
    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.

    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.

    I thought you needed to be tough just to survive growing up in Brazil streets? Isn't street fighting like a national pastime there?

    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

    Is that why guys who play and are stars over there cant cut it in the NBA for the most part. It is watered down. Not one Euro team could beat a top NCAA team in a best of 7.

    Splitter is 26yrs old. So I guess you think his up side is high when this is where most players start to level peak.

    He is awful.......cant rebound, no post moves, no jumper. Best we can hope for is a 18mpg back up. Ian has more upside.
    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...

    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.

    He is runnin around lookin stupid. He has been a waist of time. I'm upset at myself cuz I thought this fool was gone be a big help. He trash, his game trash, & he lookin like tailor park trash!
    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.
