T-Mac getting a full practice in is pretty interesting. You think he's been bumped ahead of Mills or De Colo in the pecking order?

Pop said Boris went through full practice, should be available to start the next round. Tiago "is going to take a little bit longer."

Prepare yourself, Spurs fans: Tracy McGrady also went through a full practice.
Mike Monroe @Monroe_SA4h
Spurs won't play again until May 4, at earliest, per NBA official
No definitive date for Splitters return, but sounds like we might get him back in the middle of Round 2 at best unfortunately. We're getting Diaw back at least though, and Baynes should get some valuable minutes.
Side Note*: Baynes D was impressive on Howard in round one. Dwight literally couldn't move him. He's a really strong dude, and that might come in handy in the future if/when we meet up with a team like Memphis.

Good question. You never know what Pop will do, but I think he should at least get a shot. He can still shoot the 3 pretty well and could create mismatches in the post if guarded by smaller players.
I don't see Splitter getting a whole lot of run even if he's healthy if we play GS. Not the best matchup for him with Lee out.
I'd see Diaw/Bonner/Blair getting run against that team since they're almost exclusively a drive and dish jump shooting type team.
IMO, Splitter will be available for the first game of the second round.
Huh? He's on the team. The team had a full practice. So T-mac had a full practice. I don't think bench guys, or guys who will be on the inactive list, only go through "less than full" practice. I assume Dan was being tongue in cheek or something with that tweet.
I agree. Splitter should be available if Game 1 starts on like Monday.

What is wrong with what I said? It's the truth
They are terrible vs jump shooters
Uh, they'll be checking Landry. Any/all of the trio of Bonner/Diaw/Blair are a better matchup with Landry than Splitter.
Diaw is very good(shut down Millsap last season) but Bonner/Blair are terrible, Aldridge/Scola/Zbo/Lee/R.Anderson/Al Harrington/any stretch 4 torched us in the past.
Good to see you didn't watch the first round at all.
...Lakers don't have a stretch 4. Odom is gone bro
Antawn Jamison?
They aren't going to be guarding Curry, they'll have the undersized front court who have been too quick for Splitter/Baynes in the past. Diaw should be the best matchup and Bonner/Blair will get a few backup minutes. When healthy Splitter will start most likely but he won't see big minutes as its a bad matchup for him.
You are right! How could i forget, he shoot over 40% from 3s over Bonner/Blair
13ppg.
I would rather play Kawhi at PF than Bonner/Blair.
So you want to take the starter at the one position we're extremely thin at and put him at PF? He's far more valuable at SF in this series
I think Splitter would do a great job on Landry. Carl scores two ways - in bruising post-ups (something Splitter defends well), and pick n pops from 18ft (something Splitter also defends well). I think Splitter's size and quickness (relative to his height) would give Landry fits.
I'd like to see Pop impose his will rather than dictate his lineup by what the other team is doing.
So McGrady practiced with the team.
A joke with a punch line only known to its author.
I miss Ludden.
Middle of round 2
Holy crap
