I have no doubt that Splitter could execute within the Spurs offense right now. He can pass to cutters just fine.
I wonder what Mahinmi's passing skills or lack thereof are like.
Someone should clue in Brazil that Barbosa is a shooting guard. Why aren't they starting Garcia at point and Barbosa at the two?
It's tough to tell whether Splitter is that good of a passer or if the other players on the team are just that bad. I mean, seriously, Nene at times looks like Bill Walton compared to some of the other players on that team.

game is starting now
Tiago Splitter!
Not watching but box score says Splitter with six points and eight rebounds with time left in the first half. Is that accurate?
Already has 6 points and 8 rebounds in the first half. Sitting on the bench with 3 1/2 minutes in the second quarter.
So, to answer your question: yes.
Not bad.
He seemed very agressive and frustrated also.
First rebound of the game he didn't pass off and brought the ball into the frontcourt himself.
He's seemed a little off to me. Right before he went out in the second he committed a frustration foul just grabbing at the guard after a change of possession.
Had what I would say were two blocks and two steals, but I don't know how the statkeeper is doing.
Splitter is on the bench to start the 2nd half; Brazil had a double digit lead at the half and already got it up to 20+ in two minutes.
Splitter might rest the rest of the game.
They're making Nene stay out there to burn some fat.
Splitter finally back in with 2 minutes left in the 3rd. Nice block right off the bench. Assist a minute later.
with the lead in the twenties Splitter has been put back into the game
final line:
17 minutes
6 points (3-7)
9 rebounds (4 offensive)
2 blocks

Wednesday Brazil plays Argentina at 7:30 central
Valtinho is Brazil starting PG, but the team system is so bad that is all about Barbosa. It’s like the Lakers with Kobe.
IF Pele was still on the team this kind of BS wouldn't be happening! He'd put Barbosa in his place.
I am pretty happy with Tiago...in 2004 during the Olympic touranment, Scola played pretty well statistically, but his rebounding was a huge question, a question he didn't particularly like answering(or being asked)...
That is not the case with Tiago. His reounding is not the question, neither is willingness to play D and do all the things a bigman needs to do on the Spurs.
Good call saying no to Scola and yes to Tiago, Spurs...I agree 100% that we kept the right one. I have zero questions about his ability to fit on this team...and the questions never ended for me with Scola. Not even when he was playing about as good as he could play. And I am also 100% certain Tiago is not as good now as he will be...just like Scola at the age of 22.
Splitter - 100% whottt approved.
I will always believe Splitter was destined to be a baseball player though...baseball got robbed.
Baseball? That would make for one heck of a large strike zone, wouldn't it?I will always believe Splitter was destined to be a baseball player though...baseball got robbed.
With a name like Splitter...he'd definitely be a pitcher.
Argentina is already qualified 2nd or 3rd for the semis... avoiding USA on that stage.
So the remaining 2 games (Brazil and USA) Argentina will play scrubs most of the time. I would not risk anyone unless the Brazil game is tight... because we want to beat Brazil always... at any stage

Apparently hes a converted volleyball player.
Or porn actor.
