Finally!
Welcome, Tiago!
Finally!
I think I ed a little in my shorts. Oh happy day!
I'm happy he's finally here. Now, let's hope that he can match or exceed most expectations. Also, I'm hoping that Pop doesn't give him the Oberto treatment.
number 22.. next to his idol tim duncan 21..
Congrats to everyone...
1. The Spurs signs the quality player they wait for 3 years. Hope Tiago turns into a solid NBA player.
2. Tim gets help in the paint. Surely he will do everything he can to assist in Splitter's NBA transition.
3. Spurs fans has reason to cheer for after last season's disappointment. Though the Lakers and the Heat may still be too strong, at least our team is strengthened.
That's great! I hope we'll see a lot positive things from him
Some Tiagos's quotes for the Brazil press:
I don't know if I'm going to be a starter, I'll only have an idea when we start practicing. What I want is to try to adapt myself to the NBA game as soon as possible.
I'm happy to be with the Spurs because they're a team who always want to win the championship
Reporter asked if he prefers to be a NBA champion or a World Champ with Brazil and Tiago said both
Brazilian newspapers and websites gave a big coverage to Tiago sign. More Brazilian fans for the Spurs. Here some links in Portuguese (the first two have those quotes I posted)

oh the potential he had
oddly timed bump. He hasn't live up to the ST hype but he has been a big reason why the Spurs defense jumped back from mediocrity.
Signed the wrong splitter.

Nostradamus!
Tiago has been fantastic. Started off rocky (that's on Pop some) but he's been fantastic.
Tiago has been a great addition to the Spurs thus far. Fits the system perfectly. Yes he is a little too clumsy at times and his hook shot look far from smooth, but we all know what kind of player he is and is not by now.
Probably the best pick and roll defending big man in the NBA.
