I don't care who outplays who as long as we continue playing like we have in the last two or three games.
now his 4th double double after having 0 in his previous playoff career
I will say it is good to see Tim have some confidence in his jumpshot come back this series
he just flat out refused to shoot them for about the last quarter of the season and the first round
hes gone to it and hit a few this series

Duncan's defense was great tonight IMO, best I've seen from him in a while..
I like that the Spurs aren't forcing anything to Tim, he's blending in with the offense and taking what the defense gives to him, while allowing Splitter to operate more on the interior..
Splitter playing well has no downside. He's such a good defender that if he can score double digits it's almost impossible not to have him in during crunch-time. If he can score against smaller teams, the Spurs are going to hard for anyone to beat.
No need to make Duncan work offensively when the Spurs are getting literally anything else they want out there tbh....
I thought duncan was pretty decent today on both ends of the floor..
Coach Nick seems to think Splitter is just getting lucky against Aldridge.
Coach Nick says a lot of stupid , tbh..
You know Duncan is going to play at good level the entire playoffs so if Tiago is playing above that level, the Spurs are very good obviously.
I know. Essentially, he's just saying that LA is just missing shots right now and that he was just on fire against Houston. To a certain extent, that's true, but it's no accident that Aldridge was destroying Diaw but went right back to missing once Splitter came back in.
Duncan isn't being asked to play amazing. Barely touching the ball tbh. The Spurs are even less dependent on him then last year.
I wouldn't say Tiago is outplaying Duncan. He's playing well. As is Duncan.
Tiago can continue to play his best basketball of his career and if we make it to the Finals again and we face the Heat once again, he still shouldn't warrant much playing time in that series.
Aldridge played worse this game than the first. Splitter is draining 's confidence. Weak minded, tbh.
nowhere tbh
cause Splitter will be rendered useless if we make it to the Finals and face the Heat
the only 2 factors that would make it compe ive vs. the Heat is MVParker and Kawhi at allstar level
those are the only 2 factors that would make spurs compe ive
nothing else matters
but I am still behind Tiago for the lower rounds of the playoffs. Go spurs imo
tbh, this is correct.
Agreed. Just posted that, too. The Heat are Splitter-proof.
Parker didn't play at an All-Star level vs. the Heat last year and the Spurs were still compe ive..
I think Splitter will play better against Miami this year. If the Spurs get there.
this
No need for 4 down when we're dropping 70 a half and up 20
it's hater, you just gotta let him fly....
Yes, parker and Kawhi. Nothing to do with Green dropping 3's at a record-setting pace.
Tiago has looked like he's taken great strides this year asserting his will I guess you could call it. Playing him more minutes vs the heat could happen if he shows he can consistently take advantage of what the heat throw at him, knowing it will be a mismatch in his favor. Like I said, he has been better at that all year this season and does look stronger and more patient down low.
You forgot another factor: Boris Diaw. If he keeps up this level of play throughout the playoffs, he can be huge against the Heat... can cover Bosh on the 3 point line and in the paint. And make some big shots.
I wouldn't feel comfortable in taking that chance again...unless there happens to be garbage time.
