Laker starters played 20minutes before he was on the floor and he sill was out rebounded. Are you kidding?
If that was the case Manu would never had made anything of himself in the NBA, he is not the strongest player by far, he just knows how to play, and I get a similar feeling about Splitter.

Splitter, as our roster stands, looks like the only option to counter the Lakers front line...simply otherwise Duncan is the only one with the chance to take a rebound against them.
We can have a wonderful transition defense, but this defense has no point if the offense of the team you play against can easily shoot at least four times before you take the defensive rebound...this way ther's no way you gonna win the game.
We have to consider that not only any one of our starting five is ourebounded by their lakers opposite except, maybe, Parker, but also that, except Parker, they all have an advantage in scoring in the paint.
Splitter, as of now, maybe is not the best rebounder in the world but is certaily the best inside presence we can pair with Duncan to face the two headed monster of Bynum and Gasol.
Before this game, the only player I thought we had no real defensive answer to was Odom...today they took their advantage without him on the court.
I've watched almost every Spurs game this season, and I still have no idea who this "Splitter" is to which you keep referring. Are you sure he's with the Spurs? He could be one of the Mavs recent signings, they've been grabbing players left and right.
OP is pissed at Splitter apologist.
Splitter never plays wtf do you expect? 20 rebounds?
Splitter plays like he's 6'9" when he should be playing like 7'0".
Splitter never plays because he's passive.Splitter never plays wtf do you expect? 20 rebounds?
I expect a consistent 10.0ppg, 8.5rpg, and 2 bpg from splitter. He's capable of it.Splitter never plays wtf do you expect? 20 rebounds?
Splitter is our Bosh. He plays with zero passion. It's like he's outside of the game, instead of in the action.
, Splitter never even got CLOSE to that many rebounds in Europe, and that was playing big minutes. Small wonder. Rebounding is about desire.
+1
He's tough and smart...but that F*#king hook shot pisses me off....he needs to use his body to protect his shot if he afraid of getting it blocked.
I disagree.....Bosh is a star w/ no passion.....Splitter is a role player at best that gets no minutes because of Bonner....
Sad thing about Pop with Splitter, is that Splitter isn't playing because he's ty or doesn't know what he's doing. When Splitter plays he knows what he is doing, he makes the defensive rotations and plays defense with his feet not his hands. Splitter is a quality player that would be in any other team's rotation in the league, and as a good coach pop needs to find a way to utilize him and Im sure on the bench and in garbage minutes in blowouts is not the best way.
This thread fails. Splitter played well out there today. He's gonna have to play a role in the playoffs against the Fakers.
Looking at the longer term, it's his first season in the system and the NBA so ditching him at this point would be utterly premature.
Best Spurs big in the Laker game, and he gets blamed for the loss when he was the last one in.
We Spurs fans won't get to see what Splitter can actually do until next year. The best we can hope for this year, is that Splitter can, somehow, get some playing time in the playoffs, albeit it will only be a few minutes here and there.
Bonner has a motor that won't quit. He competes on every play, even when he's physically overmatched. Splitter drifts. He's the Tin Man, needing a heart.
the game was lost long before splitter stepped onto the court.
I'm not blaming him for the loss. That would be as ridiculous as saying he would have helped if he played when the game was young.
Splitter Haters are going to be eating their words at some point in the Playoffs. Book it.
And would be almost as ridiculous as the other things you've said in this thread.
Wow nuff said you really have no idea what your talking about.
Splitter looked decent... He has some talent he is just not developing well.
Many reasons for it, his early injury in preseason, his injury during the season, Bonner and Blair playing a lot of minutes. What I do not get is why doesn't Splitter and Duncan ever play together?? I think Splitter would develop a lot especially defensively if he was together with Tim. He always ends up playing with Bonner and Blair.
