Pop: "Splitter's getting as much time as I can play him."

[jjktkk]

Which makes it even more re ed that Pop isn't giving him quality minutes. He plays Splitter like he's some twenty year old kid right out of college when he's been playing pro-ball for quite a while.

WTF? Is 27 the new 37?

[ElNono]

Well, it looks like Pop found some more time to play him... Hope it keeps going up.

Rofl. I owned you before and though I'd forgotten, u still mad so clearly I still do.

Less talking more street walking.

Nancy, the only thing you've proven to own here is an internet connection and an inordinate amount of free time to display your insecurity.

You're the Elvis Grbac to Chump's Elvis. Make me a sammich.

At least the coaches are aware of Splitter needing more touches.

WTF? Is 27 the new 37?

To be fair, Parker is 41 in the league in mpg with 33.5 (despite Manu and TJ injuries).
Jefferson is 74 (30.3)
And Duncan 101 (27)

27 is a lot of minutes when you are a Spurs

Another Pop quote from tonight: Pop always says Splitter is a blue-collar player or doesn't have skills ... but WTF type of skills is he expecting out of Splitter? He looks pretty damn skillful to me on the low block, with his overall coordination and with his passing. You can say a player like Oberto didn't have any skills but Splitter is definitely "skilled", tbh.

Your favorite Pop quote about Splitter strikes again:

“He’s been doing what we saw tonight for seven or eight years, maybe nine or 10 years,” Popovich said after beating the Sixers. “That’s who he is. He’s just a blue-collar, basic kind of guy a coach loves. He doesn’t have a lot of skills, but his basketball IQ is off the charts.”

Blue-collar, doesn't have a lot of skills, my foot. Save it for Nick Collison and Oberto, not Splitter. Totally disgusting that a player averaging 9.4 pts / 5.3 rebs / 1.3 assts / 0.8 blks on 63%FG is only playing 20.9 mins/game. Pop - you're going to be the reason for another early playoff exit if you don't give Splitter more pt to prepare for the playoffs.

Last 3 games back to 19 mins... I thought if Blair kept his suckitude, Tiago would get some of his minutes, but it just hasn't happened.

Saving for the rare matchup, I'm starting to get the idea Tiago is just going to get whatever leftovers Tim leaves at the C position.

Pop's just trolling.

[BRs.Ganso]

Pop just say it to Splitter improve more and more his ofensive game! :P :P

Just gonna throw this out there...go a little blasphemous.

Splitter is great on the block - his production is undeniable. Yet, it would seem, Pop denies it.

Duncan is one of the greatest post players of all time - that's his territory.....

The admiral stepped aside for Tim to shine. Now, Splitter is not Duncan, and no one thinks that Tim needs to step aside to the extent Robinson did....but, maybe, does Duncan not want to share, or get upstaged in the post at all?

We have been groomed to believe all Spurs are always selfless - but David Robinson was a rare case in the NBA...
