His team D has been outstanding this season, as well as his face-up D and p&r D..
His post D is below average though, but everybody knew this before tonight..being dominated by Dwight Howard isn't the ideal example..

Ryan Anderson has more promise than our guy Tiago.
You might be the worst evaluator of talent on ST.
Like Bonner or Blair would have done better.![]()
you play against Howard brah the best center in the league as a rookie one on one and see how you can do?
Originally I called him one of the worse posters, but I like that youre more specific.
Anyways, there were certainly a few times Howard made Splitter look foolish. Just like he did to Dice and Bonner. Duncan probably played Howard the best tonight but even then Howard was automatic.
I laughed at the thread le.
Nice one... But I respectfully disagree. Howard made all our bigs look like traffic cones...
Including the greatest PF of all time...
his man to man d was okay, sure he was out muscle by d12, but duncan did get exploited tonight also...
anderson kneein splitter in the groin in the 4th lol...
one for for sure t his team when playin the scrubs with the help defense comes in to slow
Did Tiago sext your wife or girlfriend or significant other?
Absolutely a fact. No need for explanation at all. Splitter sucked. I was expecting 20/10 in his 17+ minutes of playing time. Guess I was wrong. Only got 11/5 on 5 shots. I was expecting 20 points on 5 shots. Damn.
splitter made a few mistakes, but he was probably just as tired as everyone else. overall, his defense was pretty good. he wasn't bullied by howard, and that's something i like.
I'm not just talking about being hammer ed by Howard. Every driver got right to the rim. Isn't the forum line that he's a rim protector?
Dwight got lucky that he didn't get called for his third foul in the first half, I think it was a shooting foul on Duncan that he got away with but w/e. Dwight can turn into an unreliable player real fast if he gets caught up in foul trouble too.
I liked Splitters effort and positioning. He definitely needs to work on his overall strength though. With more minutes, which he'll get as the Spurs schedule gets busier, he'll hopefully adapt more....specifically he's lost too many easy battles on the boards. The Spurs team overall looked tired on this tough back to back which also doesn't help against the likes of the Magic and D12.
On a semi-related note its a good thing for the Spurs that they don't have to deal with an elite athletic star big man anymore in the West since Amar'e signed with the Knicks.
Splitter was tired? He did not even play in the first half.
lol yupp.... traffic cone is pretty funny though
Blair sucks on defense, but at least he can rebound. If' there is anyone within 5 feet of Splitter, he doesn't get the board.
He's Dwight Howard people, anyone guarding him is gonna get called for fouls, especially a rookie. In the position Tiago is in, there is only so much he can do.
These ChuckD threads are always great.
Why did DHO have to learn post moves![]()
I think he still doesn't believe Dwight Howard has post moves after this game.
his post moves are overrated just like his master
duncan no vertical lift to block shots
blair undersized to do all
bonner lol just another player on the floor making up t he numbers
mcdyness is only good at swatting the balls....
we clearly need a athletic shotblocker...
and d12 throwing the ball into quins face, shouldnt that be a tech?
Splitter is used to playing against slower and smaller players. He is getting exposed in the NBA.
