Australia? I'm hoping there's a miracle and we get Angola.
We made just trees and points in the paint, no single basket from outside.
He used to have a great mid-range jumper, I don't know what happened to it.

50% on 3pointers? i'll take it

No team is too weak for our team to choke on...Australia? I'm hoping there's a miracle and we get Angola.
man, that 3 from the slovenian C was game. just like timmy killing the suns.
Our team needs at least a 50 point lead at the break, then I'll be sure in a win.
?? The last 3 was from Nachbar, before it was Jaka-fest.
Sad but true.
Just threes?
Punch yourself in the face.
my bad, he's a PF - not a C.
He made 6 threes, thats 18 points and he also made one floater, so now you can go punch yourself in your face.Just threes?

I think you didn't get his point hehe.
although, according to FIBA, yi jianlian -lian -lian is a center, so you may understand my confusion/ignorance.
Oh sorry about that, he can shoot just threes and make the FT.
He's a long 3, he is sometimes pushed to PF, when team goes small ball (which was often when he was playing in nj nets), but he doesn't like to play inside.
He's not too bad at it though.
Loved Boki out there. Abused the small defender constantly and was money from outside. A little shaky on defense though.
T. SPLITTER 19 points 4 reb 2 st 1 A 33 minutes.
Barbosa has talent, but damn he looks bad as a main option/ facilitator. He had so many ill advised off-balance jumpers, especially for someone who is a poor jump shooter as is.
Looking at both Barbosa and Splitter, you would have no idea that Barbosa is the player of the two who has years of NBA experience, in fact, it appeared the opposite. When Anderson V. came in, Splitter was the better player of the two by leaps and bounds. Anderson ended up getting in the way on offense crowding the paint unreasonably and making interior defense easier on SLOV. Both Barbosa and Varrejo (sp?) fill a niche in the NBA that has prospered for thier teams, the Suns and Cavs respectively. I can only imagine Splitter doing the same for the Spurs in a positive way, albeit in a much different, respectable way than the two.
I don't know the intentions of the coaching staff for Brazil, but if the ball came Splitters way a few more times in that game you had to believe they could have pulled that one out. SLOV had no answer for him at the block other than double-team, and even then he efficiently passed out or moved his feet to draw fouls.
I would expect his Box score in the NBA to be very similar to the FIBA averages, however proportionally limited to the minutes he gets from Popp. In otherwords 9-12 points per hitting a high percentage, and solid defense although not dominant defense.

What is this from nba.com??... They think we are ing Jordania or what... We were the favourites in this game even without our best players on the team.
If they think that a team with Barbosa (one man sucker), Varejao (flopping ) and Splitter is great something is wrong with them... But I must say that that 35 year old tree point shooter was great. One bad ass clutch shooter.
Just wanna post the most important Splitter stat..3-8 free throws..mid season form
Barbosa is ing terrible. I now kinda understand what phoenix' fans were ing about all season last year. If you look up streaky shooter in the dictionary a picture of him should pop up plus he thinks hes kobe and has the worst shot selection I have seen in awhile. so ing bad.
