R.I.P Tiago Splitter

[pgardn]

Yes, that's the same as getting emasculated on national television with the world watching. Very astute correlation, Donovan.

That's the difference between a very athletic team and a team that relies on prowess.

If Tiago folds up we will know he has Dwight Howard mental toughness. These moments tell us something about compe ors and guys who quit. I like the test.

Thanks for the assist Watson.

[pgardn]

The good news is Splitter went from obscurity to household name overnight. He'll probably get more YT hits than Rebecca Black

Oh ...

The series is all about Internet hits, we are doomed.

So LA...

Appreciate Lebron lowering Splitter's price tag in the offseason tbh.

true. somebody else said it best. splitter needs the fake and finish. going strong ended up ugly for him, there. i do think it's good that he's got the game to go up strong though.

that rejection might be loud enough to rock a mill or two off the restricted offers?

[jimbo]

I think LeBron being rejected by Green is funnier. However, LeBron blocking Splitter will have a lasting effect.

It really won't. He's not the little baby you've got playing center. Splitter's gotten his destroyed like this in the past and he's been fine. Mentally he's gone through a whole lot worse in his life and still been successful (read his wiki), he's not mentally weak.

Well he's sure as physically weak

This.

[spurs10]

did yall see lebron stand there like an asshole too after the block. just staring at the crowd. didnt even run back on defense

smh

Speaks volumes. makes you really want to see this guy lose.....yet again!

[jimbo]

Well he's sure as physically weak

He doesn't have negro, Iranian or east euro blood. Bound to happen tbh.

[Tuddy]

Lebron saved Splitter from embarrassment, he was gonna fall short of flushing it anyway

[DeadlyDynasty]

Can you imagine the psychological fallout if LeBron gets to the rim early in Game 3 (very likely and overdue) and puts Tiago on a poster. Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

[Budkin]

Who gives a tbh. No one will remember that when we win the le.

just hater whos gunna lose again... LBJ did a play like dat in 07 vs spurs and in da end had his azz beat...

[TheyCallMePro]

This has probably already been said but Splitter was already losing the ball on his way up...he would have either lost it over the rim or have been stuffed by the front of the rim...either way, it wasn't going to be a dunk.

And the game was already over. Splitter knows he was soft and so he was trying to make up for it. Frankly he avoided the embarrassment of being stuffed by the rim instead of by Lebron.

Skip Bayless seemed to be the only one to notice this. He had a tweet that read something like "Why's everybody making such a big deal on the Lebron block? Game was over and Splitter was losing it on the way up."

But still. It's embarrassing for Splitter. He's the one who screwed up. But Lebron is going to get all the credit and Splitter can at least pretend to credit Lebron for making a 'great' play. Guess he can save face that way. He's so soft I wouldn't be surprised.

nba n bspn will do wateva to make it more then it is... tbh

[DeadlyDynasty]

You know you guys don't have to throat his scrote, right? There's no way in bricking a dunk (something done by Wade numerous times this playoffs) is more embarrassing than getting rejected LIKE THAT.

Own it and move on.

[Baam]

I can't help but LMAO tbh, that's hilarious no matter how you put it.

[Baam]

Btw that's what happens when Tiago listen to Spurstalk and takes it strong to the rack instead of using pumpfakes and the likes.

[temujin]

Irrelevant stuff.
Fakers fans have a passion for.

1-1.
Mission accomplished.
on to G3.

[Heath Ledger]

Wtf cares he got blocked by a stud nothing to see here. It's not like he got blocked by Nate Robinson.

[HI-FI]

it's pretty hilarious, because Tiago is kind of goofy. But it's also funny how the Los Angeles Heat fans are getting a boner from it. Probably their most downloaded gif since Kobe blocked Lebron in the ASG.

[TimmyDuncan21]

As a team they lost...but why play Gary Neal when we have very good depth at the point Manu looked like ...even Duncan looked bad missed some easy shots

[ezau]

Only pussies and assholes get affected by getting blocked. Everybody gets blocked. Heck, even Michael ing Jordan was blocked many times. Splitter will be fine.

[ezau]

Anyone who has played basketball knows that getting blocked is part and parcel of the game. Much like getting knocked out or getting punched in the face in boxing.

[Austin_Toros]

Hopefully this wakes up Splitter and he will finally grab some rebounds.

[slick'81]

Yup welcome to the finals tiago
