This is probably the dumbest thing you've posted in this entire thread. And that's saying something.
Credit is due where credit is due. We lose this series without him
Awesome pass. Terrific determined rebounding. Way to go Tiago!
Holy some of your standards have gotten low. Double double for the series - against the 8TH seeded Mavs - and he's the team's MVP. Tiago is Spurstalk's re ed son that they think he is the best because he managed to walk a whole day without falling on his face. This forum would make Angel Luv look like a regular fan if Rasho were still here.
Some of his numbers have gone up. Why? Because he's playing more minutes. His per 36 minute numbers are the same except for rebounding. Rebounding has gone up because he's playing the 5th worst rebounding team in the league. Congrats Splitter - for once your you've actually make use of being a 7 footer. Have a gold ing star!
Like I said, the dude has played well. If he manages to play this well in every series then he'll be worth more than what his contract is at. His D has been good (although I think Dirk struggling has more to do with Dirk than Tiago). But he's really playing the same just with more minutes and against a great matchup for him. Don't take my word for it. Look at the numbers.
You're right. Being in line with his averages doesn't mean he's been average. It means he's the MVP. Thanks for showing me the error of my ways, mighty Jag.
They all, every player, have their particular mismatches, positive and negative, depending upon the opponent so why aren't we applauding Tiago now, for helping the team get past the Mavs instead of disparaging him for other series we haven't even got to yet?
This makes no sense.
I believe Manu has been the MVP of the series so far. I agree that Tiago has been the usual in the first four games, but last night he showed just how big of an impact he can make. In that 4th quarter the dude took over. I have NEVER seen him do that. During those minutes he wasn't just playing his averages, he was going well beyond them. For around 5 critical minutes in the 4th quarter, Splitter was all over the place. Rebounding, scoring, passing, and even doing as best he could on Dirk. True that Dirk would still score, but that doesn't mean the defense wasn't solid. Dirk is ridiculously good. Tiago pretty much negated the offense from Dirk by bringing his own and creating more opportunities for teammates with his passes and rebounding. For 5 minutes out there, Tiago was in Golden God mode. LOL!!! I hope to see it again the rest of these playoffs.
It was nice to see.
I just hope he brings it again in game 6. If he does, series over, Mavs go fishing.
That was the best I've ever seen him play.
Nice move the goal posts some more.
It takes too much time for Tiago to adapt NBA and Pop system.
Finally he is feeling good and comfortable.
The contract we gave him looks good right now.

I'll give him props for this series so far. I don't mean this as a backhanded compliment but Dallas' bigs aren't as tough and/or athletic as other WC teams so Tiago should do well. Hope he keeps it up. And it's amazing what a kick in the head can do to a person.
No, he was right with Euro...same with Ginobli. Not where they're born, where they played ball.
Tiago is probably not going to be effective in every series, it really depends on the match ups IMHO.
Depends on what you mean by "effective". He was effective in every series last playoffs, especially defensively. He probably won't average a double-double in later series, but his mobility will be pretty essential to the Spurs' chances of making the Finals.
This is exactly what I mean. You say it more specifically than I do. I was being general.
not sure i understand the point of this thread. if the playoffs are about match-ups, is the OP suggesting that every team the spurs could possibly play have a huge match-up advantage when splitter is in the lineup?
Will he hit some threes too?
I know it's too early, but if the Spurs ever face OKC in the WCF, how do you think would Splitter look guarding Durant for stretches?
He would look like a transgender scrub doing anything but running the PnR and getting layups against ty defenders tbh... This is the same old Tiago.
Almost more impressed with Tiago tonight than when he went off offensively against Dallas. If he plays D the rest of the series the way he has played tonight then he's worth his contract no matter what he does against OKC. I really hope he keeps it up and proves me wrong.
