All the "basketball IQ" posters (i.e ^^^) please provide examples of Splitters positives?
Since...you know something about basketball.
Fans of other teams and our own negative trolls think that Splitter sucks. After all in a 40-7 you have to try and find something to about and we laugh at your insecurity and take it as a compliment to the greatness of our beloved team!
Some kids might have thought Splitter is Jesus or Duncan (same thing) but I don't think you will find them here. People who know something about bball see Splitter's positives and negatives and expect him to improve (since it is what should be expected).

I'm too lazy to pinpoint when but I remember a bounce pass perfectly thrown from the FT line to Tim on the low block that led to a wide open layup that... Tim missed.
When Splitter gets 10 minutes and more, his averages are 6.9 pts 4.35 rebs in 19 games.
I'm not trying to claim that he should get more PT but he shows some talent when he plays. He's a rookie in a team which has 40-7 record and 4 other capable players in his place. It's not easy to prove something in this situation.
He will be a very good role player in the following years. It's obvious that he won't be an NBA star, but he would be a legit 9-7 player in future. And the people who compares him with Mahinmi. He's better than Mahinmi, talented than him and proved himself in world wide. Mahinmi couldn't play well even in France but Splitter was a capable Euroleague player.
I don't know what you were expecting a players selected in 28th pick, but I'm happy with him.
Splitter hating a-holes don't realise that he is playing in a team that has the best winning record in the league and are taking their time in trying to get him integrated into the system. With only garbage time to play for, it is difficult for a player like Splitter to suddenly learn the system and play to his potential here. In flashes, he has shown that he plays more than adequate defense, is mobile and good in P&R situations and gets himself into rebounding positions well. While, his offensive game is very raw, his FT play is awkward and his hands have no adhesive making rebounding a tougher challenge than is expected from him. None of the flaws there are completley un-ironable and it should happen pretty soon.
Atleast in games where he had to provide a spark or do the needful in situations that were kinda, crunch, he didn't screw up.
Actually that le may just belong to you.
207 posts of the same thing. You can take simple comments & turn them into a terrible anti-Splitter exaggeration. I don't see too many people believing he is the Superman you say we all feel he is.
I'm not a hater.. I'm just a realistic fan. I'm just saying it exactly how it is "Tigao Splatter sucks". If he plays better, I'll acknowlege it also. But until that happens, I'll say it again "he sucks" PERIOD. I'd much rather have Bonner on the floor tbh...
lol KBP getting his post-whoring on
Good luck with those bricks in the PO!
He can't be.
You beat all the dumbest, and not only in this forum.
Thiago Splitter was the best big man in Euroleague last year, together with Nikola Pekovic.
Period.
Check what Pekovic is doing with Minnesota frigging Timberwolves.
You could throw in Bouroussis, but Bousoussis is grecian, so that makes him an authomatic loser. In fact he did lose the UEroleague final.
Sure, that's why they gave him ACB RS MVP and ACB Playoffs MVP,
in the process of detroying Barça's bigs that had just destroyed the ridiculous bigs of that patehtic greek team in the Euroleague Final.
He won't miss them all....I'll take a few of bonner's bricks over splitter's non existant game any day...
Until he shows me something imo splitter is just a bust to me....
excellent!
my god, man, you should be prohibited talk about Splitter... for you, Splitter and ACB is a crap pack, and Scola and Greek League a paradise... its fun for read.
here's the Jeff Foster of NBA. Obvious he wont be a Scola, but have good potential, he's just a Rookie (yes Rookie, NBA is different than FIBA).

Learn to read what has already been written (hundreds of posts) or watch some games? It's boring and a waste of time to explain things to people who will not listen anyway. I am not saying you are stupid but most of the Splitter haters are fans of other teams, trolls, or they don't know anything about bball. All they do is use strawman arguments like "you all believed Splitter was the next Duncan" and then go on to say that Splitter is not the next Duncan...
Anyway, just for you:
Splitter is a tall, mobile C who plays solid D, he is smart and works hard, excellent PnR player both on O and D, he is a good passer and is a team player.
He is not a good rebounder, never has been. He is not a "beast" that will outmuscle other post players and dunk on them. He has no jump shot and no range.
People who have watched him play for several years as a pro in Europe know this already. Some people here still need to learn this and eventually some of them will.
Agree.
Splitter is an "until".
Bonner is an "already".

Its funny that you are arguing with people who think Splitter sucks and also with those who think he's awesome.
And how do you know what this forum was claiming before he got to the Spurs? You have like 200 posts.
Those are the same examples that I have read and I have seen every game this season.Learn to read what has already been written (hundreds of posts) or watch some games?

Those "positives" don't make Tiago worth anything to the Spurs really, is what Im saying.
TIAGO is going to all over the haters on spurstalk come playoff time. BOOK IT!
I hope he does.....Id be wrong a million times if it meant the Spurs would have another actual servicable big.
Scola Thread!!!
I wouldnt pay much attention to this glorified trolls posts..
This guy actually had bright idea of a trade last year for George, Dejuan, and rights to Splitter, for Hickson, Moon, and Delonte West..he just spouts off sometimes without thinking..give the guy a chance to play.
manu_forever, seriously, why have you made it a personal mission to lead the crusade against the opinions people have about splitter? You've been preaching your gospel here about how you knew he sucked in Europe long ago for a while, and its getting old now.
You want to use the term "nut huggers" in regards to the people praising him, but you come off as riding splitters way harder..you seem like a woman scorned, like if Tiago cornholed you, and didnt call you the next day.
I hope he does because I am sick to death of all the Splitter haters!!!!!!!!!
What a bunch of morons.
If someone doesn't like Tiago, then go be a fan of another team!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Obviously the Spurs coaching staff sees something in him!
Forget the numbers or who is better, I just want a guy named STANKO on my team! Stanko Barac, awesome.
