At least somebody asked..progress, I suppose..
Somebody just asked pop if theres a chance tiago is gonna get minute in game 2
And of course he said "i dont know, havent thought about it"
At least somebody asked
Obviously not from the SA media...Somebody just asked pop if theres a chance tiago is gonna get minute in game 2
And of course he said "i dont know, havent thought about it"
And Pop is probably more mad at the question than the loss
"Can you tell us about that Battier 3?"
"What would you like to know about it?"
"Well can you tell us how it developed?"
"He caught it and shot it."
Just stick to yer guns, Pop. Don't give in to pressure on this Splitter situation.
now tim is on right now
Wy the did he get ZERO min today?
Did Splitter run over Pop's dog or something in training camp? I have no idea why they brought him over?
That's a typical answer by Pop
"They made shots."
The ?? this bum!Somebody just asked pop if theres a chance tiago is gonna get minute in game 2
And of course he said "i dont know, havent thought about it"
Maybe he should think about defending the basket a little better with a four point lead and a minute to go.Somebody just asked pop if theres a chance tiago is gonna get minute in game 2

Layups and wide open threes = 7-0 run. Same old crap that has been going on for two months now.
Way to PISS away HCA right out of the gate.
Pop can't play Tim, Dyess, Bonner, Blair Splitter in the same game in the playoffs
Pop has a rotation and he keeps it strongly believing in his philosophy
Tiago would have been a foul machine, especially how they called this game.
Splitter may not be able to defend either Randolph or Gasol, I personally don't believe that, but Pop's stubborn refusal to play him over any of Bonner, McDyess or Blair will cost this team playoff games (today for example) and possibly a series.
Oh, Hill and Jefferson choking/bricking while Blair is putting up weak-ass layups/floaters (does he think he's Tony Parker or something) and Timmy is iced out of the game in the second half didn't help.
The media needs to phrase their Splitter questions differently. And by media, I mean non-local media, as McDonald and his cohorts know their place.
Something like, "Will Splitter get over himself by next season?"
Tiago can definitely defend Gasol.
3 things guaranteed to happen:
Death
Taxes
Bonner +20 mpg
Just his big body will be a big improvement, Especially in this series we don't need bonners offense especially if Manu is back. Tiago is a good rebounder and defender.
His Philosophy is what? Let Bonner get lit up on D while missing 3's
Splitter needs Min against the Memphis Bigs for 's sake..
That worked well last season...
I believe he can too, but the stubborn old coach thinks Blair and Bonner are better options. Maybe after we're in a elimination game he'll scramble to add Splitter to the rotation. Then lament during the off-season, when we've been eliminated by Memphis, Oklahoma City/Denver or Los Angeles, that he should have been given him more time. Captain Hindsight strikes again in San Antonio.....
Or maybe Peter Holt will slap Pop and ask why $3.5 million dollars is just sitting on the bench rotting. A guy that was coveted for two or three seasons and brings (shock!!!!) defense, quickness, size and youth to a sub-par front-court.
WHAT an IDIOT!!!Somebody just asked pop if theres a chance tiago is gonna get minute in game 2
And of course he said "i dont know, havent thought about it"
WHY Splitter did NOT play??? Pop was [again] playing a FOOL!!!
WHY Novak did not play at least 5 minutes - while Bonner, Neal, and Hill were struggling from 3s, Noval could've hit couple of 3s - Pop, here is YOUR ball game right there, you f. MORRON [excuse my French!]; again, STUPID Popovich played damn [excuse my French!]!!! AGAIN and AGAIN he is f*****g us UP[excuse my French!]!!! We are getting killed inside - Gasol and Randolph killed us under the basket - With this ROSTER, if Pop DOES NOT play Splitter, he has ZERO chance beating L.A. and OKC, PERIOD!!! I am sick and tired of this a*****e [excuse my French!] being SO CONSERVATIVE - if Manu does NOT play, and Memphis BIGS are f*****g us in the a**[excuse my French!], WHY NOT TRYING WITH SPLITTER to help Dyes and Timmy??? "F. MORRON" to call Pop in THIS GAME, NOTHING more TO BE SAID...Pop completely outplayed by Memphis' coaches in this one...Very sad!!!
People have gotten angry at Barkley's comments, and him predicting that "the Spurs will not survive this first round series" may indeed be hyperbole. However, the one thing he is absolutely correct on is that the Spurs frontline IS smallish. There's no getting around that.
We all know Pop isn't going to play Splitter, which further underscores how smallish that frontline rotation really is around Duncan. So all they really have is Duncan and 2 6'9" PFs, (one of which is red-haired, finesse, stetch-4), and an undersized 6'7" center. It's just not enough.
someone should ask him why was the team played scared out of the gates at home...fkn
Not so sure why everyone is so confident on Tiago guarding Gasol. He seems to do better against more agile bigs, which Gasol is not. Gasol is a big dude and pretty slow. Although, I'd definitely prefer to see it over Blair or Bonner guarding him. I just wouldn't expect some sort of miracle.
