*He was screwed out of at least one block being counted as well and 5/7 shooting and even somehow made 2/4 FTs.
Bottom line - Pop frees Splitter and again he produces in about 18 minutes. Take that haters!

at the end of it all, I can imagine Pop turning to his assistant coaches and asking, "who's that tall guy? He's good"
How did bonner do?
Sit him for the rest of the year. He can't shoot 3's
BUTTTTTTTT BUTTTTTTTT we have BONNER! The guy who will do nothing in the playoffs at all if his shot is not falling (Even then he does nothing because it does not).
No...
1 Block + 3 Drawing Charges.
dont get your hopes up, splitter only getting minutes because dice didnt play
He clanked about 20 threes to start the fourth. That's about all he contributed.
Bonner did alright for the 15 minutes then chucked about 5 straight misses on the threes, Blair did play well tonight as well. 12 and 7 and few real mistakes in 24 minutes or so. Blair a lot quicker and made some nice passes and is playing better again finally!
Well Bonner can't do that either late in the year so......
The only thing i like about Bonner is the way he runs. It cracks me up every time.
Quoted for truth. Splitter won't see any playoff minutes unfortunately.
Bonner 7 points 2 rebounds 1 for 6 on threes but of course got the 24 min. Sigh.
Sadly I see it as this as well, Spurs are in rest the key people mode rigth now. Hopefully not but I guess we will see soon.
I don't know Pop rarely applauds anyone and he was on NBA TV applauding Splitter - he might just pull a rabbit out of the hat and insert Splitter when it counts in the playoffs, but lets hope it is not too late in a series.
Here's the deal ... about 20 games or so ago Pop would have thought about who he wanted in his 9-man playoff rotation ... he would have considered Tiago against Bonner and Blair (at least I hope he did) and decided that Tiago wasn't a part of his plans.
That moment right there sealed Splitter's fate this season. It doesn't matter if Tiago showed promise in the limited minutes he got since (which he has), or if Bonner sucked a garganutan amount of hind for the better part of a month leading up to the playoffs (which he has), Pop is not going to reverse his decision. That's just the way it is. Pop has decided, and come or highwater, he is going to go through with this.
he did play against al jefferson. pop will take that into consideration.
That was some nice rotating of bigs by pop. I think blair should be starting, he definetly plays better. Splitter coming in for timmeh, was great to see. Bonner with the usual getting ready into playoff form game, 1-6 from three, lol.
Not good enough, he made some mistakes.
He needs to get over himself because he's not ready. It takes a year to learn the system, too risky for him to be in the rotation this year. It's not fair to our other players who have been here longer for him to get an opportunity.
Sadly you are probably right.
It took some time to adjust, but now he's rebounding very well.. And his defense and intimidation are waaaay better than Bonner's..
He has a decent post game and he's a good pick and roll player. That is very important when 3s are not falling and the paint is lock for Tony or Manu..
Tiago Splitter looks like a Brazilian Junkyard Dog.
If Junkyard Dog had not been taken as a nickname, it would be Splitter's.
That's how he plays. He just gets into tuthles left and right.
It's obvious the Golden God, needs to be getting regular minutes, for spurs to be contenders.
Seriously, I think it's possible that Splitter > Dice. When's the last time Dice drew a foul on anyone or took a charge? Dice is pretty much Kurt Thomas part 2. Splitter is something TD hasn't seen since the Admiral hung up his sneakers.
