What the Smurf?!
He's been playing in much more physical leagues in Europe and I see toughness in his willingness to take a charge.
You could see his defense was getting to their bigs when Landry literally gave him a back-fist to knock him back and then griped to the ref that Splitter was using his forearm against him to keep him out of the paint.
why pop, why? The Pistons suck too...
I suppose Pop will not let him play when the game is close unless the matchup is not favourable to Blair, e.g. vs Bynum.
I think if we face the lakers during the playoffs Pop may end up regreting not giving confidence to Tiago in situations like this. I hope not. Come on Pop. We already got the #1 seed in the west, Play thiago to see if he can build some momentum. He's not even a "rookie".
He played a great game against the cavs (when cavs still had varejao and the team had a decent record) then get DNP'd in the subsequent game and it was against a ty team, IIRC. Then he plays very well against the frontcourt who had just dominated the lakers big and get DNP'd against Detroit's ty team.
Oh well. what can we do. I hope Pop knows what he's doing (building him for the future, I suppose...)
