How about Tiago....

[Prime Time]

In the last 4 games he has averaged 17ppg and 9rpg on .707%

When he's in the paint, it's like watching DeJuan as a rookie.. plus 6 inches

And sprinkle some defensive effort on top.

Splitter>>>>Howard

The golden Jew has arrived

[Cane]

He's gonna make a lot of $$$

[Spur|n|Austin]

He's been great, people think Pop was holding him back, when Pop has even said himself that Tiago was injured and now he's not.

"golden Jew"?

[RD2191]

in my opinion he's a decent big man, i mean don't get me wrong i love what he's doing but i also think he is a product of the system and is thriving because of good set ups and great passing by tp/manu

Good one. The system makes the guards look better than they really are, the bigs are often ignored... Agree about the Tp/Manu passing

Splitter>>>>Howard

I was going to laugh but I thought I'd check Basketball Reference before commenting. The stats actually seem to back this up somewhat.

http://www.basketball-reference.com/...advanced::none

Splitter has a WS/48 of .234 (1st on the team), DRTG 99 (3-way tie for 3rd on the team), ORTG 124 (beating out Bonner for 1st on the team), PER 20.5 (4th on the team). It's kind of maddening how in spite of this, Splitter's usage rate is ranked 9th on the team with guys like Gary Neal, Blair, and even Cory Joseph ahead in usage percentage.

http://www.basketball-reference.com/...advanced::none

Howard has a WS/48 of .132 (2nd on the team), DRTG 101 (2nd on the team), ORTG 106 (9th on the team ), PER 19.8 (2nd on the team). All I can say is that the Lakers are having a terrible season if this is their second best player. His usage rate is 3rd on the team behind Kobe and some guy named Darius Johnson-Odom. Under the cir stances I don't know what they're thinking giving Howard that many offensive possessions. Earl Clark and Chris Duhon look more efficient right now tbh.

Howard has been way better than Tiago on the glass this season though and even slightly better than Tim.

Synergy also had some interesting stats on the Spurs' offense. Haven't gotten around to checking out the defense.

"golden Jew"?

Splitter's ancestors are Jewish, the golden Jew!

[jag]

I always thought he was the Golden God. Either way, he must be freed!

[freetiago]

Splitter understands angles and how to properly roll better then all the brain deficient big men in the nba like dejuan blair
blair only scores when manu throws passes between someones legs
splitter still scored 20 vs miami with gary neal setting him up
he would thrive with any other competent pg who can make simple bounce passes
if he played with steve nash hed probably average 20 pts a game

people act like what splitter is doing is so easy
if it was then why isnt every other big in the nba putting up lines like tiago

[slick'81]

splitter will break u fckers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Consistently getting open and being able to catch the ball while on the move are skills that people underrate in bigs I think.

Splitter's problem has been finishing strong. I'm not sure who talked to him or if it just hit him while watching game tape, but he seems to be correcting that and going up more decisively.

[8FOR!3]

I think Splitter's going to want to resign with the Spurs if at all possible.

The golden Jew has arrived

Huh? Are there even jews in Brazil? lol

Please don't say something like he's 1/500th Jew on his step-dad's side. All Jews, Muslims, and Christians are sons of Abraham, tbh.

[bigfan]

Tim will be around for another year or two and Id like to see Tiago basically just become his replacement. The guy is still pretty young and learning more and more as time goes by. He seems pretty bright, is motivated and seems to be a good teammate. If he is due for some bucks soon I have no real issue with it.

[playblair]

dejuan blair is still an elite rebounder ............

previous game stats

blair 6 min = 6 rebounds

splitter 32 min = 7 rebounds

[cheguevara]

too bad Splitter arrived about 3-4 years too late. This season he's exactly the guy we needed from 2006-2009

[Obstructed_View]

Everyone isn't jewish. Don't be silly.
