Splitter could return as early as Tuesday

[TD 21]

Hopefully he will play the Knicks game. Makes more sense to come back at home on 2nd night of b2b.

No, it doesn't. He should have played this one and sat tomorrow, for match-up purposes.

Obviously, it's good news to get him back, but at the same time, the offense, though better in the last ten games, has mostly struggled and the defense has been elite without him, which begs the questions: How much more can he improve the defense and how much more will him playing next to Duncan exacerbate the offensive struggles?

Speaking of which, Baynes' shocking imitation of a competent fourth big in recent weeks probably only means more time together for Duncan and Splitter, because Splitter won't have to play as much backup center.

I thought Baynes had a poor game tonight... would be good to have Splitter back, tbh

[Mugen]

I like Baynes but Splitter is 10x the player Aron is tbh. Spurs need him back badly especially against Aldridge twice next week.

??? Tim is under 30 minutes, barely, at 29.9.

You didn't read what I said.

I also don't want TD to have to play all out in these tough stretches where there is a lot of games against good teams compressed together in the schedule.
