    It goes without saying that Tiago was terrific versus the Jazz. Obviously, Pop seems to really like, applaud and appreciate his effort. See his comments below:

    http://blog.mysanantonio.com/spursna...own-and-dirty/

    “Tiago just has that blue-collar steelworker sort of at ude,” Popovich said. “It’s like he’s right out of the steel mill, been working in there all his life and knows what it’s like to work. He’s unbelievable.”

    With all that said, it's still mind-boggling as to why Tiago doesn't get consistent minutes in this rotation?

    20/20 guy?

    I think Blair has performed very well this year and has met, if not exceeded, his coach's expectations. Don't confuse fewer points/rebounds in recents weeks with the fact that he's coming off the bench and not playing with the starting unit anymore. He's going to continue to be the energy guy off the bench for us, which is exactly what this team needs.

    I know everyone loves how he rolls to the basket but i would like to see him stick with his screens better. Part of the reason hes not getting the ball is because hes not keeping the defender off the ball handler. There are just no passing lanes.

    One thing i will say though. If he ever develops a jumper then watch out.

    On defense I love him. After watching no contests at the rim with the midget and a donkey pairing of Bonner and Blair, Splitter's prescence is a breath of fresh air.

    There has not been another shot blocker with that presence to pair with Duncan since Robinson. Elson, Mohammed, Nesterovic, Horry et al do not intimidate slashers coming into the paint like he does.

    Hes also playing a lot stronger lately. I mean that literally. There is little doubt in my mind that over the last several months he has strengthened his core significantly. He doesn't flail around when getting or keeping position like he was back in January.

    Like Sean says in the telecasts, he is definitely becoming more comfortable.

    He needs to take Blair's spot in the rotation. He is rebounding just as well as Blair, he is MUCH better on interior and pick and roll defense and his moves in the post and on pick and rolls are much more successful.

    I hate to say it but Blair has somewhat taken a step back this year. I do not get a whiff of that 20/20 guy anymore.

    I know everyone bags on Bonner but we all know that Pop is in love with the long range 4. He is going to get minutes.

    Free Tiago.
    Great post.

    I spent the entire time reading that fighting back tears of joy.

    Unfair comparison.

    Sliced bread has had the chance to prove itself and is in the rotation of most household pantries.

    Splitter hasn't been afforded that opportunity as yet and remains stuck on the shelf.

    but splitter's not better than bonner, mcdyess or blair. right now. at basketball.

    sorry senores
    maybe not mcdyess cuz he got experience but Blair and Bonner? Rly?
