It would help a bit if he could stay healthy.
And stop making turnovers.
It may be me, but he seems to get seriously winded. And when he does, he gets very sloppy. He is still a great addition and solves part of our problem of playing teams much bigger than we are.
Still amazed at his agility in the horizontal. Its bizarre that he cant jump a lick.
Well, salary dump Blair and Bonner somewhere and pay them both. Duncan, Tiago, Lorbek. Find anyone who can round it out and that's a pretty solid frontcourt right there.
I have a terrible feeling that Pop will play Lorbek anyway though.
Tiago = Bargnani to be honest.
stupidity post, come back to me when bananaman plays any sort of defense besides falling in love with the 3pt shooting...
splitter will destroy that italian draft busts
I promise you that you haven't been watching nearly as many Raptor games as I have. Bargs has been pretty good this year and playing closer to the basket as well.
Even then, what I meant was in terms of the tendency to get winded, calf strains, age, body type, at his best when he's getting good minutes, fast but not high jumper, etc. Difference is his coach has put together a rotation that takes advantage of his strengths.
Obviously they're two completely different players and Tiago is, in my opinion, more well rounded but in terms of conditioning and the like they're actually very similar.
I'm not trust in Lorbek.Every year he's more a jump shooter with no defense. Dude has talent but he's pretty soft for the NBA.He's even soft in Spain so...
And he's not young either.It would be a surprise for me if he doesn't stay in Europe.If Pop is coaching then I'm pretty sure San Antonio is not the best place for him..... but Pop could fall in love with him like he did with Bonner.
...And then play him ahead of Tiago?
So basically the Spurs' big rotation is doomed no matter what happens. Great.
I bet the Spurs wanted to nab D-Motie before the Rockets got him.
It's a shame we almost got to draft this guy:

according to the espn box score, during the 14 minutes that Tiago was on the floor, the Spurs were outscored by 6 points.
however, during the 21 minutes that that scrub Matt Bonner was on the floor, the Spurs outscored the Celts by 8 points.
hmm

From the FAQ stickied at the top of the forum.
As long as Tim is playing, Tiago will not be very much. Is what it is.
All these threads where people are talking about stats, advanced stats, and how to interpret stats, and you're talking about +/-?
in order to win games, you have to be +
and most of those "advanced" stats are bull tbh
Oh I see. You're old school then.
That's cool I guess.
If Tiago could defend as good as Blair and space the floor like Blair he would be a better fit next to Tim. Also, if Tiago starts that means Blair/Bonner since we don't have any other bigs.
What it is is bull and ignorance.
Unfortunately, ignorance is expensive and it will likely cost the Spurs once again.
Well, we all deserve better than the you keep posting, but alas..
At first I thought Pop was just easing Splitter into the team gradually.
But now I'm just pissed off and hate Pop.
Splitter's footwork is phenomenal man. On one play, he made KG look like he didn't know the meaning of the word defense. & on another play, he showed shades of young Duncan, getting blocked hard, but persisting until victorious without flinching.
Right now, he is primarily Duncan's back-up, but think about it, when Duncan finally retires, Splitter will be ready to start. & fill the Big Fundamentals shoes. He will never come close to prime Duncan or even '07 Duncan, but with 35 minutes a game, he can put up 21 ppg, 12 rpg, 3 apg, 2.5 bpg.
Hopefully his near future is a ring, and a picture of him holding up the LOB Trophy. I'll worry about the rest later.
