Pop's refusal to develop that combo has put more pressure on Tim and weakened our interior defense.
and pulled and given some sideline camera show drama *doghouse* dressing down by Koach Pockface. For one foul on Kobe Durant, a questionable one at that.
Spurs interior D is Swiss cheese the rest of the way.
Can we post the timvp quote early in the season words to the effect that "unless Poppy gets the Duncan-Splitter tandem going so they are ready for the playoffs we have no chance"?

Splitter was given a minute too much in the game.
The Splitter love affair just will not end. Even playing like absolute in the playoffs won't do it.
He is just NOT THAT GOOD.
We have Splitter to protect ourselves against big teams like Memphis, LA. This wasn't really his series.
Pops way of trying to show fans that Splitter sucks, but he actually doesn't.
Splitter sucked balls, for once I'm glad Pop went away from him.
hiim gettin plucked
was like bonner gettin plucked in game 5....and he went and barked back at pop when he pulled of for the sub
I hate to say it, but Splitter sucks. I was hoping so much that it was just because he wasn't getting much play time, but nope. He sucks. the euro-league. Any league that has Splitter as MVP sucks.
Not only that --if you were paying attention--
DIAW ed up way more times than that and Pop didn't say .
Tiago was trying to double up on Durant and just held his hands straight up (no ing different than Bonner did all in season long) and Pop goes into drama- mode....
POP.
Hope Splitter leaves the ing team and shows his worth elsewhere.
Good call, Fabbs.
splitter sucks he plays like a pussy... and when he messes up just has that stupid smirk... away from these euro soft style pussy bigs.... we need some american muscle...player of the series to me goes to kawhi he showed heart and hes a rookie hes only gonna get better be the new durant stopper
Yeah, Serge Ibaka!
We need a freakishly atheletic black guy! Someone get JaVale McGee's agent on the phone! We can fix, "stupid!" You can't coach hustle!!
You guys need to be weened off the Splitter . He's not the answer. He's soft, awkward and, other than the pick and roll, has bad fundamentals (especially on defense, guarding with his face instead of his hands) but hey, at least he's not trying to take charges instead of defending the rim.
Splitter was a liability in that he lost confidence and couldn't even hit free throws. Pop lost confidence in him.
Agree. He is soft, awkward, losses confidence easily, gets outboxed by stronger smaller players, can't jump to block shots and is injury prone. Counting on this guy for the big frontline upgrade was a failure.
I'm not sure if Tiago was going to help in this series. That said, Pop made Tiago look bad. Who knows what their relationship is really like since as fans we only see a limited perspective, but damn, there doesn't seem like a bright future for Tiago on this team. I haven't seen Pop blow a gasket like that in a long time, and nothing like this particular situation.
A couple of my buddies are hoping we can sign him. Tim will need to take a paycut and it will take a leap of faith and money on the part of the Spurs.
And Pop just diminished what ever trade value ter had.
If only we had concentrated less on winning the game and more on showcasing players for their trade value.![]()
Showcasing and humiliating a player with a public tongue lashing for fouling a player are two different things.
