He's getting better every game.
I can understand now, how the toilet bowl company team was running their offense through him.
That's what Tony Parker said Tiago Splitter was telling him during the Rockets game.
Gotta love how his confidence is skyrocketing.

Tiago is such a pimp
Pop needs to play Tim and Tiago together the most he can. To be efficient Tim needs to let Tiago play inside.
Tiago had again a great game
Glad to see he finally got over himself.
I bet he also wanted to say: "I want to play more. I need to play more."
Sean thinks Tiago can be better than a 12ppg player.......
The Golden God.
First extended look with Tim out there tonight... if they're just getting acquainted, I can't wait for more
Hopefully we see more Duncan-Splitter..the offense was solid with that duo, the D will only get better..
The Hornets weren't scoring inside against them, but they were still getting good looks on the perimeter and from Jack..Spurs might have a similar problem to the Lakers, which is poor perimeter D to negate the two bigs inside, we'll see..
Hopefully Splitter-Duncan build chemistry, I'd love to see them on the floor with TP, Manu and Leonard..
If they make a trade for a big in season, more and more I'm coming to believe it's going to be for a third big, one that would enable Splitter to start in perpetuity, without the fear of having no rim protection off the bench.
That would be fine, because Splitter is clearly a second big. I always felt Splitter would be a nice fit next to Duncan anyway, but with Duncan playing less in the low post and with his improved mid range jumper, there's no doubt in my mind they can excel together offensively. Basically, Splitter can be the center the majority of the time offensively and defensively, he can be the full time power forward.
Even if they'd prefer a starting big, it's going to be extremely difficult to trade for one better than Splitter. If they found a way to acquire Thompson or Davis or whoever, I wouldn't start either. I'd have them be the backup center.
Locking down the interior and making them burn you on jump shots is a far better option then letting them get dunk after layup after 2 foot shots. They should give Thomas more burn. His defense HAS to be better than Blair's.
I fully agree, but the Spurs still need a better effort, defensively, from the perimeter..
New Orleans's guards, particularly Jack, had plenty of space and little resistance on their attempts..
Hard not to agree. He's been doing his damage with extremely limited minutes. 12 pts, 6 boards in 23 minutes tonight. Liked his time with Tim though, and hopefully they can develop more chemistry. He really needs to get his cardio up.
Don't jinx it.
5/8 fg shooting. Another fantastic offensive outing from him. Especially in the 2nd quarter where him and Parker were tearing up the hornets defense.
Hope Splitter continues to go up strong despite being rejected twice in the same game when going up for the dunk (1 was called a foul the other wasnt.)
Mahinmi with 17 points, 9 rebounds, 4 blocks in 25 minutes. Damn.
"Deep down in places you don't like to talk about at Pop's parties, you want me on that ball. You NEED me on that ball."
Would you stop it? How many times are you going to do Mahnmi updates? Let it go, brah... let it go. It's no better than Scola updates.
Pop handled that situation well. We should feel fortunate Dyess retired, or Splitter would be going through the same .
Not gonna lie.. hes looked damn good this season. And like Splitter, hes improving each and every game. He has that 15-18 foot jumper too.
They were both fouls. He got hit in the arms and body both times.
He's statistically getting better in each game when he gets more minutes. We're also starting to see him in closing minutes more often. This can only be a good thing for the Spurs especially when Tim is allowed (forced) to rest.
We might be seeing the development of the best front court tandem this team has had in the past two years. If Duncan can limit his minutes during the course of a game to enter with Splitter for the last 5 minutes of a game...well...it's better than what the team has had to offer in quite a while.
The second one looked clean. The first one was a blatant foul though; Landry was all over his arms.
