I'm talking about when they are on the court together.
Pretty sure each scored all of their points without the other guy on the floor.
Tonight in his interview with Sean and Bill, Splitter credited part of his success in working with Parker has been due to having Matt there to open the court up..

blue collar guy.
GGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
what a ing moron.
The LP broadband not working?yep. That's the noise gate on a digital phone system I think. It's staggering how re ed their technology people are.
We keep looking for reasons why Pop handles Tiago like this when it's simple; Pop isn't high on him and doesn't see him has a legit player that can help if given consistent big minutes. All Pop sees is his limitations and almost goes out of his way to either ignore Tiago or play down what he his capabilities are.
Just one question. Did you watch the game?
lol reading comprehension
Did Tiago run over Pop's dog?
The interview of Pop after the game, he mentions every player stepping up (Bonner included) ,but not Tiago....6-7 from the field with very limited minutes. Seriously, I am at a loss.
Teams are beginning to double Tiago here and there, and he still makes the right play.
Great game by TD tonight.
Looks like Timmy got some retread on his wheels from BF Goodrich when he did that commercial?
To me, this was TD's best game of the season...17 boards and four blocks is very nice. TD looks spry right now. His movement and second jump look much quicker. Over the past three years TD has looked like he was playing with ankle weights on...not so the last two weeks.
RJ played decent defense tonight as well. He had a better floor game than his stats will show.
Pop's going to wait until the season is 90% over, and then insert Splitter into the starting lineup, like he did with McDyess last year.
Naaahh.
It is simple. He won't play him next to Duncan unless the other team is playing two bigs together who can do damage down low. He doesn't think in terms of making the opposition match up with them, his concern is always matching up with the opposition. Tonight was a perfect example of that. The Grizzlies had Cunningham close at PF. He's undersized and not overly strong. Splitter easily could have had his way with him on the block. But -- to steal one of his favorite lines -- he doesn't think in those terms.
I still think there's a move coming to acquire a starting power forward, either through trade or post deadline buyout. But if not, eventually he'll probably relent and start Splitter. It probably wouldn't happen until their backs are up against the wall in the playoffs though.
What about when Pop played Timmy and Splitter together for 4 minutes there in the 4th with Gasol as the only Big over 6'8" for the Griz?
4 minutes?
3 1/2 or 4. Yeah. Davis was the Big for a little bit there, but then Gasol came back in for Davis. The Spurs didn't exactly flourish during those minutes with Duncan and Splitter paired but they were able to go up by a point.
They've got to play more to get comfortable with each other on offense. If Pop keeps playing them together they will develop more chemistry.
It works perfectly. I haven't listened to a game on ALP in a while.
They're offensively a very good combination because Splitter's good at hitting him. I don't have too much problem with Bonner getting close to 100 percent of his minutes with Splitter.
The biggest problem with Bonner isn't games like tonight where he's finishing, it's when Pop takes a night like this and thinks it's appropriate for Bonner to finish a game against a front line that's abusing him.
