Twin towers??? lol

wouldn't that be somethin...

[ElNono]

good rebound win against a team barely at .500... progress...

[timvp]

Splitter going nuclear after getting pissed was awesome.

[Spurs Brazil]

After 11 games I can finally say, Tiago played a good game on both ends

And Tony was great, nice to see him aggressive

[Mugen]

i hope this turns into Tiago's Houston game from last year. Great win.

[LnGrrrR]

What a terrible, terrible contract they gave him. Although to be fair, it's not like they'd have any cap space to use if they didn't give it to him

I would've rather they burnt the money then give it to Jeff Green. I ing hated the Perkins trade, and I hated them resigning him, and 9 million a year for Mr Invisible was absolutely re ed.

bonner is still 5th big after playing well last game

pop's turned the corner

[Uriel]

T. Parker 36:37
D. Green 38:33
T. Duncan 32:34

9-man rotation. And Manu only played 23 minutes. WoW.

[HI-FI]

great signs from Splitter. TP was able to pull himself out of hero ball towards the end. good, solid win.

[007nites]

Great game

Very good observations

[Kidd K]

Pretty solid games tonight by Timmy, Tony, and Tiago. The Killer T's. . .alright, that probably doesn't work.

I liked Tony pretty much all night tonight besides the forced pass (turnover) and chucking that deep three late in the 4th.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Splitter had 25 against the Rockets last year so this is not a career high.
Also 26 against the Suns last year.

[Mugen]

Mattys the best 5th big in the league tbh. It's a role he should have been playing for the last 3 years.

[HI-FI]

Pop deserves a high grade considering the injuries and sticking with the hot hands.

[Uriel]

Damn. Milwuakee failed to close out Miami.

[ace3g]

Could have been an anomaly but Diaw had one of his better if not best game of the season playing SF. Got me thinking maybe on offense he plays the SF in sets (seemed to shoot more) and depending on match ups PF.

[elemento]

Really happy to see Splitter playing aggressive and well on both ends of the floor

But the best thing was the Spurs winning and BonBon with another DNP

[freetiago]

how tall is bill land
only looks like 5 inches shorter then splitter

[timvp]

This is an example of how deadly Diaw/Splitter can be off the bench. They fit so great next to each other on paper.

[Manu-20]

Today shows just how much vaule splitter can have for this team it's just a matter of him playing with agression and giving a damn every night.

[spurs1990]

So we're back to DB45 being the starter for the regular season

[DAF86]

This is an example of how deadly Diaw/Splitter can be off the bench. They fit so great next to each other on paper.

They can play a lot toghether too without the need of playing Blair or Splitter, tbh. And if we're talking about great fits, the Bonner/Splitter duo last season killed it at historycal rates, tbh.

[bbarry]

manu shot the worst tonight, but somehow he had an amazing +/- of +24

that's manu for us.

[CGD]

Great win. That said, I haven't seen this undisciplined of a Celtic's defense in a long time especially in the paint. I suppose it's to be expected with all the new faces, but damn.
