Splitter = traffic cone

[angelbelow]

You have a strange definition of 90%, but then again what else can we expect from your takes? Looks like a fair amount of folks agree with my assessment of Splitters performance yesterday:







TJastal, you're better off sticking to Pop-hate threads. At least those are somewhat entertaining.

LOL wow this is horrible. 2/3 were sarcastic. Try again.

[The Truth #6]

My point is Splitter missed training camp.

With an injury.

It's clear you don't understand what that connotes. That isn't my problem.

So are you suggesting that because he missed training camp with an injury he shouldn't be playing?

[Hoops Czar]

Like Bonner or Blair would have done better.

Which is why the Spurs should have gone after Shaq this offseason. You can never have too many bigs and it certainly wouldn't have stunted Tiago's development. Calling Bonner a big is insulting. He's a perimeter shooter and nothing more.

[jjktkk]

I mean what are you asking him to do, rebound and play decent defense? Do you need a ing training camp to learn how to do that when you've been playing the sport your whole ing life. Go wring your panties out, man, the Bonner orgy was over before it started.

Why do you always talk about having sex with men in your post?

Meh, I happen to think that a fair amount of folks = 33%. Let's proceed......

Your half right. But Splitter was always a below average rebounder for his size. I don't expect things to change now because he's wearing silver and black. His entire defensive game is to pull out the flop card. When he plays straight up man to man, he's toast. And now you want to throw him against Pau, Bynum and Odom and call him the key to beating the Lakers.... Dream on.

On to being serious, no one expected Splitter to do anything against the Magic. In fact, when your other teammates don't play defense in garbage time, I expect easy points everywhere. The only person trying hard out there was Splitter and props to him on that one.

Tiago Splitter is not Andrew Bogut or Dwight Howard. He is not a player who can erase his teammates' defensive mistakes by himself. If anyone is thinking this, they are setting their targets too high.

one for for sure t his team when playin the scrubs with the help defense comes in to slow

Uh what?

No, I'm saying he was injured before the season even started and has a history of being injury prone which could easily be exacerbated by playing basketball the past full calendar year.

Others think he should be playing 35 minutes every game. What is the logic behind their demand?

I don't know anything about basketball except I am obsessed with the Spurs.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Is that true? I haven't seen anyone say that. Seems to me the main idea is that Splitter should be utilized more frequently, not to become our minutes leader.

[ChumpDumper]

Is that true?

Why not?

They say his health and his playing all year are no issue whatsoever and he's young.

topic author = dumbass

the 'traffic cone' is way better than Blair, McDyess and Bonner

just time question.

I love how you try to come across as some salty old hardass when everyone here is well aware that you are a high cholesterol, fat ing mama's boy pecking away on your greasy keyboard and wearing your reversible Lakers jersey.. Celtics on the opposite side. You need to get a Heat jersey just in case.

So shut your holster.

What is stopping him from doing so?

Tell us.

I would like to see Splitter get the start over Blair for a few games. I think Blair would be better off the bench against the opposition's bench. That's where he prospered last year. He's shown he cannot handle the starters in the low post and he cannot score without crazy moves. His power game is nullified when he's starting. In Orlando, he had a foul and a turnover 30 seconds into the game. But Pop rewards effort, and Blair's summer work earned a lot of respect from Pop. That's why Bonner is still with the team.

[DrSteffo]

Tell us.

No I will not help you fight a strawman

If you want arguments why Splitter should get more PT you can find plenty here already. Simply put: he is better than the alternatives

So your opinion is there is nothing stopping Splitter from playing over 30 mpg.

OK.

If that's not your opinion, tell us what it is.

I was amazed at Dwight Howard's progress with his post moves. He is getting better, now that he is using technique as well as pure athleticism..
