Something wrong with Splitter?

[Chomag]

There are just some people who watch a different game than others. No matter the reasoning of Pop, some will always think they know better. Just the way it is.

Well it is called a forum after all isn't it? Of course Pop's call is the only thing that matters. However as fans of the Spurs, and of the game, we do have the right to have free-thinking and just talk about it as normal people(well some of us think we are normal). I believe thet is why the admins created this site to begin with so that normal people can just talk. They could have just made it a Spurs news site for reporting only if thats what you would like it to be.

They are just opinions, nothing more nothing less, and opinions are subjective. And at the end of the day that all we are, just fans, and why is it so hard for us to respect each other here?

If some of you guys had it your way there would be no reason to even have a forum, As we can not question anything unless it's something "YOU" agree with I guess.

Notes on a scorecard: Why playing Wednesday was good for Parker’s psyche
by Tim Griffin

...It was interesting that the only Spur who did not see action was Tiago Splitter. Splitter was in good shape in the locker room, but it just seemed like the pace of the game didn’t suit his skills. Popovich was hesitant to bring him in during the first-half struggles. And when the offense was humming with Bonner and Antonio McDyess, Popovich didn’t want to change his chemistry.

If Pop thought the offense was humming with McDyess and Bonner, I wonder what he though about the offense with Timmy and Bonner as the Bigs.

When Bonner came in to play with Timmy, Spurs down by 15 points (28-43) the Spurs were able to cut the lead to 10 at the half. Then Timmy and Bonner started the 2nd half with more of the same and by the time Jefferson came in for Matt with a minute left to play in the 3rd quarter, the Spurs were up by 9 (57-68). That was a 24-point turn-around right there with Timmy and Matty.

jeez it's a long season and splitter can start on the 1st January and I will be happy about it

Bonner is now in the zone and to start the season it's all good to take advantage of it. With winning and with Splitter getting more rest to his body.


So many ppl were happy that brazil lost so tiago could get the rest.
Now if he can have that opportunity everybody are

'Sup? (translated: o, how are you?) polandprzem?

This entire thread is

[jjktkk]

Speculation by Tim Griffen is no different that one of the many opinions on this board.

Unfortunately i do not have Pop's phone #. So I will just go by Griffen's speculation, since he does cover the Spurs.

[polandprzem]

Solid U the reason I came to see what's going on in this thread

[Solid D]

przem, did you give your opinion on the greatest backcourt duo of all time, yet?

Ohhh man you tries to squeeze posts out of me ?


it's 11:36pm and I'm going to sleep ;]

[Solid D]

No worries. Sleep is good.

[polandprzem]

No worries. Sleep is good.

After having a bad day a sleep is supergood




btw. What's there to argue about those backcourts?
Y all mentioned the best

I cannot think now much but I think first Boston duo was the best regarding their skills and domination at the beginning of the league

Where the is Splitter? POP is so much in love with that red-headed piece of again.

[redskinfan]

I am sure Tiago is thinking., what the did I do? CIA Pop is back!

[Obstructed_View]

The stupidity returns. I guess I shouldn't have declared that Splitter's starting was inevitable as I did about four days ago.

no,no no...

everyone said that Bonner signing only meant that Bonner would be the 5th big...remember...

Pop is a genius remember?

CIA pop...Bonner will NOT eat into Tiago's minutes!

[Chomag]

I expect to see him out there the next game against Utah against Al Jefferson who likes to bang in the post.

I guess Pop has a different idea. lol

Hope to see him in the second half at least.

Splitter won't start on the first of January because Pop will say he doesn't have the corporate knowledge or that he doesn't have a feel for the game. All the Popsuckers will then be starting threads about how he doesn't practice well or that he must be stupid. I guess the only chance will be for Bonner to suddenly forget how to shoot, which seems ing re ed to me, as Bonner and Splitter should NEVER be competing for minutes.

[Capt Bringdown]

If the Spurs are going to win this season, it'll be because Splitter has become a huge part - in both big and small lineups. His mobility and ability to run the floor isn't lacking. Hopefully, Pop sees the light and Splitter could eventually fill that role, and like I said, there should be no reason Tiago and Bonner can't be on the court together.

Yep, I think if Splitter's going to be another Pop's doghouse/benchwarmer, then we've pretty much got the same lineup as last year. I don't know if Jefferson's improvement and the contributions of the other new guys will amount to much come playoff time.

Bonner's early season production is fool's gold. We know he's capable of in the playoffs (nothing).

If Splitter's not the guy, then we'll need to seem some trades, or it'll be more playoff disappointment.

What do we have to lose?

[Ross Parrot]

Pop pulled Bonner for missing his first three-pointer. Maybe Pop has some plans for Splitter

[Obstructed_View]

I think Pop just played Splitter until the "ask Pop" thing was over. Now he can go smallball and start Bonner with impunity going forward.

[Chomag]

Splitter must not be doing well in practice. Isnt that the same excuse thing what people were saying about Ian, and Hairston?

[ChumpDumper]

Some nice speculation in this thread.

From what I've seen during my time on this forum the exact Spurstalk mantra when the new big guy doesn't play is "he doesn't know the system" and also the new big guy is too dumb to know how to rotate on defense because he "doesn't know the system".

Of course the question is if the new big doesn't play in real game situations and is allowed to make mistakes when is he ever going to learn "the system"?

pops a drunk what do you expect from an alcoholic hes unpredictable

[TwelveGs210]

Wow..Tiago better develop a 3 point shot, because it doesn't look good at this point with Bonner hitting the 3, and now apparently he plays defense with a good steal and block so far in this game..sickening how deep this team is.
