Fuk yo thread clown.
Splitter < 13 mins, + 11. Not one second of playing time with Duncan.
He won't do it for the simple fact that everyone wants him to do it. There's no other reason. He's a stubborn old fool who thinks he's smarter than everyone. He's convinced playing Tim and Splitter together will destroy the space-time continuem or something.
Basketball-wise I can see the concerns defensively if we play against a small team or against a stretch four, though I don't think Randolph qualifies as one of those, despite hitting the occasional three. Same for Pau Gasol.
Offensively, I know the two of them will slow the pace a bit, but I don't see why they can't play the hi-low game Tim and David did in the early days or just trade off pick and-rolls and be interchangeable. That way neither would get tired, having to touch the ball on every possession, right?
I don't get why we don't do it and at least make the other team take out their second big and go small on us.

u cant fck with the +/- king
Why are people still wondering why Splitter isn't getting playing time when his compe ion is Bonner, Blair, and Diaw?
On the real tho, last 7 games of the season - Splitter will be right next to Timmy in the starting rotation. It's gonna be alright.
It probably will cost them whatever chance they have, along with injuries. But it'll probably only cost them against the Lakers. They can beat the Grizzlies without it, especially if they continue with this big rotation (highly unlikely) or if Randolph can't get at least close to the level he was at last season.
People seem to forget, but Randolph isn't 7-1 or 7-2, he's a mere 6-9. Sure, he's extremely strong, but physically, they can do a reasonable enough job on him. And Gasol, for all his size, is just not a dominant rebounder. The two of them played above their heads in the playoffs last season and fooled people into thinking they're better than they are. I'm not saying they're not either the second or third best big duo in the league, because they definitely are. They just don't compare to the Lakers duo.
He already did it before.
It's not Bonner's minutes that are the problem, it's Blair's. Give Splitter Blair's 12 minutes in addition to his own 13, and we're fine.
I only hope Pop is "saving" him for the playoffs. CIA POP?
Can I borrow your mind reading device?
Agreed.
Tiago is too injury prone for those kind of minutes, clown.
Try again
Cost us a ring? Even with Splitter our chances aren't so big
But we could be a stronger team for sure.We aren't playing all our talent.
geez man I really wish I could believe that
tbh if Pop isnt gonna do it against LA or Memphis I dont see when hes gonna do it
That's probably what he'll get in the playoffs...So get use to it
With Blair's play tonight, hopefully he played his way out of the rotation....
I think he'll play like 30 minutes during the elimination game.
Also Splitter should play more because Manu is much more effective with him setting the quicker screens.
He already cost us 2 and with his stuborness probably a few more
But his stubbornness won 4
Its two really ty games in a row against teams that we have to worry about facing in the playoffs.
The big three were younger not because of himBut his stubbornness won 4
If Pop cannot be credited with the 4, he cannot be blamed for losing one.
Pop is the best coach in the league, hands down. Just ask other teams' fans if they would trade their coach for Pop.
