Murilo was in his front...
He complained about that :P
He has some nice qualities. I think he will be a decent NBA player when he gets a little stronger, and he should considering that he's still young.

Nene had some serious issues with his NBA insurance. So, he couldnt be free for practice until some days before the tournament.Splitter'll have a great improvement with us. He's young and it seems to learn fast.
He has more minutes in his national team than Nene (Denver)?
Nene injured?
So, the coach is very cautelous with him in the first games.
You´re right. He hit a 3 pointer in the garbage time.
It´s nice because he use to shot treys with a nice % when younger. Nowadays, even his FT shot mechanic looks horrible. Looks like his coach in Spain simply was not very worried with the develpoment of his offensive game...
I hope Pop and cia could do something about that.
Does Brazil play against the U.S. Anybody know? Could be interesting to see
Tomorrow. It will be on ESPN2. 9:00 EST
Schedule on NBA.com.

21 min/game , 12 pts, shot 66%, 4 assists. Looks like a Spur to me!
Yep, I almost fell asleep while reading that stat line. He's a keeper
Today against VI, 10pts 5rebs in 16 minutes
Itll be interesting to see what he does with increased touches, and more minutes with Tao Ceramica.
Scola might have hampered his development.
damn, i missed the game.
Anything stand out regarding his performance in today's game?
He didn't play well in the 1st half but was Brazil best player in the 3rd but with 4 minutes to go in the quarter he picked his 4th foul and did not comeback
I'm happy with his D. He's playing solid D in all games
I'm happiest with his rebounding. He really seems to have good timing and hands to grab the boards.
im watchin the game right now on FSN. against the Virgin Islands.
hope he plays well
His biggest problem is that he's pretty foul prone....at least in this tournament. His humbers would be a lot better if he wasn't missing so much PT due to fouls.
Duncan couldn't stay on the court in FIBA games due to fouls. Some players just have a hard time with the crazy officiating and pick up more fouls than they would in the more physical NBA game. I'm guessing his main issue in the NBA will be adjusting to that difference in physicality.
BUENASSSSSSSS ESTE EMAIL VA DIRIGIDO A TODOS AQUELLOS QUE DUDAN DEL EXCELENTE JUGADOR QUE ES HOY POR HOY TIAGO SPLITTER Y QUE PONEN EN ENTRE DICHO TODAS SUS CUALIDADES POR EL SIMPLE HECHO DE VER UN PARTIDO PREPARATORIO PARA LAS OLIMPIADAS DEL 2007.

ACASO NO HABEIS VISTO NINGUN VIDEO DE LA EUROLIGA????????????? ME RIO DE TODOS AQUELLOS QUE LE DESPRECIAS SIN CONOCERLE, HACE MENOS DE 1 MES OS QUEJABAIS DE QUE ERA UN DESCONOCIDO Y AHORA POR VERLE UN PARTIDO OS PENSAIS QUE YA PODEIS DECIR TAJANTEMENTE SI SERA O NO UNA GRAN ESTRELLA EN LA NBA.......ACASO TIM DUNCAN, TONY PARKER, OBERTO ARRASARON NADA MAS LLEGAR???????

Did anyone just see Splitter's block on Amare's dunk?
They called it a foul, but it looked clean.
Yeah, that was clean and all Bill Walton could talk about was some damn concert in Brazil. Goofball, no one cares. Splitter is going to be good for us.

Splitter cree que el TAU conseguirá "grandes cosas" pese a la baja de ScolaPese a la ausencia de Luis Scola, Tiago Splitter se ha mostrado convencido de que el TAU Cerámica "va a conseguir grandes cosas este año"

Las Vegas (Estados Unidos), 25 ago. 2007 (EFE).- El pívot brasileño del TAU Céramica Tiago Splitter considera que su equipo conseguirá "grandes cosas" en una temporada en la que ya no compartirá banquillo con el hispano-argentino Luis Scola, nuevo fichaje de los Houston Rockets, de la NBA.
"Conseguir olvidar a Luis Scola será complicado, pero creo que vamos a conseguir grandes cosas este año", dijo a EFE el jugador brasileño, que disputa con la selección de su país el Torneo Preolímpico, en Las Vegas (Estados Unidos), clasificatorio para Pekín 2008.
Splitter comentó que el conjunto vitoriano "ha fichado a grandes jugadores" y, por tanto, sólo queda comprobar si logran "funcionar como equipo".
El pívot, que hoy anotó 10 puntos en el partido que Brasil le ganó a Islas Vírgenes (89-93), destacó que el encuentro de mañana contra Estados Unidos, último de la primera fase de competición, será "especial" para él.
"Va a ser increíble enfrentarse a ellos, algo muy especial", señaló el brasileño, quien admitió que habrá muchos ojos pendientes de él tras haber sido seleccionado en el 'draft' (sorteo universitario) de este año por los Spurs de San Antonio.
Splitter finished with
26 minutes
13 points (6-10)
9 rebounds (3 off)
1 block
2 fouls
2 turnovers
0 assists credited though I'm pretty sure he had a good one early

I really think he could easily get 10 pts a night with the passers we have on the Spurs.
Brazil had plenty of chances to bounce pass it to the helper under the basket for an easy score.
Anyone comparing Ian to Splitter right now is uninformed. Tiago actually can play and compete at a high level. I think Ian will be lucky to even make the team in 2 years.
I was looking forward to seeing Splitter playing with Nene, who's a low post scorer. Unfortunately all Brazil ran was pick and rolls, and while they were effective with it for a time, they then just kind of started taking bad shots and stopped scoring. I'm excited about Splitter as the center for the Spurs. He's legit, and he's got the ability to become a better defender. , he's already as good a defender as the first team all NBA center.
