He needs a season to get over himself...
He might as well have stayed in Europe and "Improved" his game.
The guy goes out and plays solid minutes then gets rewarded by being benched for the entire second half whilst Matt Bonner gives up bucket after bucket.
Why did we even bring him over?
He needs a season to get over himself...
lol your coaches think bonner is better than Splitter
He's just not ready yet...
I guess
We could trade him for Cardinal
I have a feeling Pop would have went to him in the fourth today, but Bud played conservative and shied away from Tiago tonight.
Saying that your coaches are as re ed as Rick Carlisle really proves a point.
He might make a mistake or two. Unacceptable.
That's what i'm saying
Months ago a lot of people here don't believe in Tiago.
At least he's proving what we knew in Spain.He's good enough to play in the NBA. I hope he can play in the Spurs and he doesn't have to go elsewhere.
To me the worst isn't what we saw today or the previous game
.Sad is that he could have helped us a lot of more this season if he had played since November and now his confident would be bigger so he would be a better help to Tim in the playoffs.
rent a coach bud if your listening do not apply for head coach job!!!! you are the exact replica of coach pop nelson Dantonie which is a worthless coach. pop wasted a year of tiagos nba life for bonner screwing our season!!! wooohoooo "in pop i distrust"
IN' BULL ...
How many in times are people gonna give POP the in' benefit of the doubt....
Pop is a stupid stubborn in coach and he will NOT get his head out of his ass...
what the makes you think THIS game was the one where Pop was going to in' wake up?????![]()
Bonner has been a Spur for 4-5 years now? He's still not ready - and he never will be.
the thought that Bonner could potentially be with the Spurs for 8 years when it's all said and done makes me want to pull my hair out. basically a career Spur. don't you have to not suck to stay in one location your whole career?
It's all about "The Grudge".
Does anyone hold a grudge like Pop? Egan and Ian be rolling over in their grudged graves.
Could this be a double-up grudging?
1. The backlash for not signing in 2008. Pop's making him pay.
2. The "Mav-signing to screw the Spurs" formula. Many people have a hunch a big part in the Mavs getting Brewer was just to keep him from the Spurs. The Spurs did this, but to Caja Laboral instead. Getting Splitter to screw over Vittoria must feel great.
not as bad as mcdyss, blair, and bonner.![]()
Five quick takes: Budenholzer again shows strongly in emergency...Many in Spurs Nation were wondering where Tiago Splitter was in the fourth quarter of the Memphis loss. With Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol imposing their will inside, some figured it was a good time to get the rookie forward some on-the-job learning in a tough situation. I think that Budenholzer — and by extension, Popovich — did the right thing by keeping Splitter on the bench. Nothing could have been as damaging to Splitter’s fragile confidence than too much Z-Bo and Gasol down the stretch. It was a wise move as they prefer Gasol to learn to crawl rather than running and tumbling against a difficult matchup.

"fragile confidence" yeah, let's build up his confidence by not playing him. who the pays this writer? Popa ?
Spin control.
Hey Tim Griffin no one gives a what you think. Another weak ass reporter bending over for the FO.
But his fragile confidence wasn't a factor when when he had 5 consecutive DNP-CD...
Nothing like building confidence watching your team lose from the bench...
Tim Griffin FAIL
Is this writer serious?? "Fragile confidence" is the best he could come up with?
Tim Griffin you are a ing pussy. I won't be reading anymore of your trash.
No he wasn't, he started off very well and picked up 2 ticky tac fouls and proceeded to stay foul free while contesting shots, he couldn't be as physical on D at all but still did a good job.
