Tiago Splitter

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Splitter didn't just play well in the 4th, he was great in the first half too. He's by far the best bench big in this series, maybe in the NBA.

But yeah, special props for kick-starting that run with the Manu-Splitter pnr for easy layup, the easiest 2pts in the league.

I would cut him a break if I though he was that bad at free-throws but I don't. He's missing in the playoffs because he scared, imho. That's pathetic.

He did play well though.

I'm not sure about this. He actually shot fairly well (50%+) in Games 3 & 4 in the first round and Games 3 & 4 in the second round. Plus his overall play doesn't look particularly scared to me once he's warmed up.

I think it's more that he's on a cold streak and it's affected his confidence at the line specifically. As a rhythm player he'll likely need to see a few go in during games before he'll start to get more consistent from there.

This

Splitter had played big games where he had all the focus on him during his career.He can't be scared to play a low role in the NBA playoffs

In fact when he missed FT he looks everything but scared

Has he gotten over himself yet?
Emphatically yes!

[Russo21]

Dude played a real nice game. Too bad he turns into white shaq daddy at the line. I thought he was gonna airball a few of them.

As soon as ESPN cans him again i will be happy...

One underrated thing about the shooting fouls Tiago drew early in the 4th is that it got the Spurs into the penalty early. That was a big factor in scoring 39 in the 4th.

That's one huge area he has Blair beat is drawing fouls. Blair instead shoots circus shots.

He's like a cat with 9 lives. I'm not even sure why they keep bringing him back tbh.
