Start Boris

[Chinook]

LMFAO

Splitter cant do anything man. He sucks at offense and he cant defend outside the paint. People who defend splitter just dont understand what a limited role he can fulfill. He's the post version of Bonner without any offense, i.e. he's tall and stands straight up. That's it.

please highlight for me the things that splitter does well that negates his other overwhelmingly ty attributes.

He has a confined role, and like bonner he's only worth a damn every 4 or 5 games when he does something extremely average like posting a 10pt 6 rebound night. Then Spurs nation goes ape and talks about how great the signing was. The only way Splitter takes bosh out of the series is if Bosh cant hit his outside shot and splitter gets more than 12 points in the paint. Both of which are unlikely considering splitter has given bosh the confidence of westchimp and his pansy ass play on the offensive side of the ball airballing what 3 layups last game.

I have more potential to take Bosh out of the series.

Can someone tell me when grown men started using emotion pics? I consistently about the players acting like little girls, but obviously it's a societal issue. The internet is just so funny, it gives anyone the option to show just how passive-aggressive they are. I would almost pay to meet some of you in real life, it's almost reason enough for me to fly to SA for a game...really.

No you didnt watch the game. Splitter is giving up WIDE OPEN everything outside of about 2 feet.

Yep Spurs got totally torched in the first quarter with Tiago in.

yep, it was almost like bosh had 5 points and an offensive rebound in the 6 minutes Splitter was defending him. And it was also almost like Lewis had 5 more. So thats 10 points that Lewis and Bosh had on Elite defender Splitter.... sigh.

[heyheymymy]

pop may not make a starting line up switch for game 3, but if splitter gives up a lot early on, he might sub boris in quick and basically switch them out mid-game.

What was the score again?

If Pop pulls him, then I'll believe you aren't completely wrong.

What now?

[tholdren]

Yeah so? Now you're saying Splitter is a liability on the defensive end? You're reaching (and wrong if that's what you're getting at).

Uh - OH....... WRONG

[tholdren]

Diaw started over Splitter back in the March game when we blew them the out. Can we really afford to see everyone but their ballboy dunk on and block Splitter?

THIS ... we already saw 2 layups a dunk and a three in his face in the first half... where is the defense everyone chirps about?

[Jenks]

What now?

I've upgraded you to only mostly wrong.

[DAF86]

I've upgraded you to only mostly wrong.

You're going down with the ship I see.

[DAF86]

Spurs with Diaw on the court. +20
Spurs without Diaw. -1

[Mugen]

Starting Boris just opens up so many more lanes for the starting wings tbh. Those Danny/Leonard drives are a direct result of Boris spacing the Heat out.

[ElNono]

good call, tbh

[DarrinS]

Props to OP

[DAF86]

We wouldn't have goten were we got the last two seasons if it wasn't for this guy, tbh. He's our new Robert Horry.

[dg7md]

Boris was how we won tonight tbh... great move. Keep him starting.

[mavsfan1000]

He was awesome. Great change.

[MI21]

If the Spurs are able to win this , I think Boris moves right up to the very top of Spurs championship roleplayers (right alongside Horry).

[DAF86]

Would we have swept their asses if Popovich would have made the clear move since the beggining, tbh?

Great thread DAF tbh

and do not forget no Parker no Bobo

If it was up to me finals MVP would go to Boris, tbh. He's our most valuable player in this series. I know Kawhi has balled these last two games but between Manu, Green and Patty as SG we can somehow make up for his absence, same with Tiago for Tim and we have seen that we can survive without Tony. But we have no other player on the roster that can do what Boris does and for this series what Boris does is a huge matchup advantage.

Between Diaw and Leonard you cannot go wrong IMO

But the whole team deserve it

if spurs win last game of the season, they should give it to the team
