his development is going nicely, even though we want to see more minutes of him
He probably won't play tomorrow even if he is good to go. Unless we're finally in the midst of a stretch where Pop just plays him consistently, which I doubt. I think it's more likely he sits tomorrow, then plays early and often the following night. That's how Pop's been handling the back to backs to this point.
Considering Mcdyess did not play yest. and is well rested there really is no need to play splitter on friday. It seems that the rotation consists of Splitter or mcdyess subbing for TD with bonner coming on for Blair. Depending on the team there playing seems to dictate how much PT mcdyess or Splitter recieves.
He's the 5th best big man on this team... not sure where you're expecting to get minutes for him.his development is going nicely, even though we want to see more minutes of him
"Splitter minutes" thread!!
0 minutes vs 76ers.
What up?
Hamstring hurt at Raptors.
http://blog.mysanantonio.com/spursna...taround-notes/...Tiago Splitter is out again..."He can’t tie his shoes,” Popovich said. “If you can’t tie your shoes, you can’t play.” Splitter won’t play against the 76ers, and his status for Saturday’s back-to-back finisher at Washington is in doubt.
Thank you Duncan.
Ack what timing!
We could have ing needed this guy today. This is really a ing bad day for me...
http://blog.mysanantonio.com/spursna...tarting-cameo/...Tiago Splitter tested his strained left hamstring before Saturday’s game and came back with a two-word assessment.
“Not good,” he said.
Splitter missed his second game with the injury in Washington. He is considered day-to-day going forward.
...The injury marked another unfortunate chapter in Splitter’s inaugural NBA season. Had he been healthy, Splitter would have been due a heaping helping of minutes in Saturday’s massacre.
“I’m just having bad luck,” Splitter said.
How bad is the hamstring strain? Didn't it take James Anderson 4 or 5 months for his to heal?
JA hurt his hamstring working out before the draft, and they kept him out of summer league as a precaution, but I don't think they take that long to heal. Did Splitter have a hamstring injury earlier in the season? If so, is this an aggravation of that or something new?
i believe this is new, incurred during the Raptors game when Calderon (I think?) ran into Splitter as result of Manu pushing him. Supposedly this led to a nasty spill for Splitter and thus the hamstring/lower back problem.
Pop says it's not too bad and Tiago should only miss 20 minutes of playing time. So we'll get to see him play again sometime in April.
Back/hamstring related maybe?
I said it. He was not playing.
, good job...your so smart.
To answer the OP's topic le. Splitter who?
Kiding!
I honestly have given up on Splitter being given a chance on the regular rotation for this season. Its just doesn't seem to be in Pop's plans. Maybe next year Splitter.
According to Steve Kerr, there is no big out there who the Spurs could get that would be better than Splitter.
not smart, just with smart connections.
, its gonna take alot more than you saying a player is going to be out a day after straining his hamstring for people to believe you actually have connections.
Yazo, what did you say Tiago would average
I think I said 11 & 8...of course I was expecting minutes as well. I have been pleased with the way tiago has played of late. anythiing else?Yazo, what did you say Tiago would average
To be fair if he was healthy preseason and able to learn the system and Pop gave him minutes he's more than capable of putting up 11 & 8. I wouldn't be surprised if he puts up similar numbers to that next season.
The Spurs have sent Tiago Splitter (hamstring) home from the rest of the road trip. He won't play tonight or Thursday in CHI, obviously.
