It is obvious Pop does not play rookies big roles when other more experienced players can somewhat fulfill them. He would rather not take chances - in this case, a bad move IMHO.
Whether the dude is great or decent don't matter at this point. I agree that if he never sees serious PT, then he'll never develop his NBA game. All he needs is consistant PT and one good game to get him going.
I won't say he's the savior, but you can't teach size, and boy has got that. I SAY LET THE AT&T CENTER RUMBLE WITH CHANTS OF SPLITTER'S NAME.
Let's hope this thread gains attention like the FREE GEORGE HILL campaign of 2009.

Even if he was free, I still wouldn't take him.
At this point he needs to take a chance, because we don't stand one in the playoffs with what we've got now.
Splitter was the damn MVP of the third greatest league in the world!
Greater than the Greek league!
Great I idea... but I live in Brazil... so its not possible!
Euroleague and NBA are the best leagues in the world - OK
but ACB is the best NATIONAL LEAGUE in the ENTIRE WORLD
so is better than GREECE LEAGUE, TURKISH, ITALIAN, BRAZIL, TUNISIA, QATAR and all others![]()
keep the momentum going!.......free the rat!
@thoodee
is that your nickname for him? or is it the master splitt ST one? anyway its funny
IM just happy to see the FREE TIAGO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nice and alive.
we have to make it known we want and need tiago out there in the paint, i mean beyond duncan thats all we have at 7ft?!?!?! yada yada yada pop play him dont add to your stubbornness/stupidity take this ship down with you. put down the pride and FREE THE OUT OF TIAGO!!!!!
This story kinda reminds me of Splitter's plight:
Tyler Hansbrough: Jim O’Brien ‘didn’t believe in me’
@capt bringdown
man i didnt think it was an identical situation as splitter. wow poor obie, its funny cause theres a few people in here that say tiago sucks completely ? hes not dirk nowitzki but he can definitely be a varejao defender & you better believe cuban would have started him next to dirk.
can you guys imagine if we lose splitter in the summer ?because of pops disrespect, we better cheer splitter on, this could be our last solid talent acquired through draft until we have a horrible season(s)=good picks? ultimately pops creating his exit w/his inebriated lineup. by the way pop buy some damn eye drops when u show up hung over lol
No... he was just the best center in the second best league in the entire universe and MVP in the third
By the way there are 4 teams from the ACB in the Euroleague quarter-finals. Not too shabby for a lesser league.
Stop ruining this beautiful thread, you wannabe Greek sexual.
The guy sucks...period. He should play because "you can't teach size"?
ACB has 4 teams in the final 8 of the Euroleague.
Right NOW.
Same as last year.
Splitter was ACB MVP. Regular season AND playoffs.
End of discussion with the mononeuronic KBP.
As for Splitter, matters are very simple: It's late now.
The way the seedings go (and the way Spurs play defense lately),
the most likely WCF is against the Lakers.
I don't see the Spurs going to the finals against a healthy Gasolio and Bynum duo.
Many posters have been writing this from the beginning of the season.
OK. I didn't see this post.
Honestly I don't understand why the people are complaining Spurs fron-court too much.
Let's think Dallas, other western conference contender. They've Haywood, Nowitzki and Chandler in front-court. Duncan-McDyess-Blair trio is not worse then that.
Let's think Boston, Eastern conference contender. They've 38 years old O'neal, another O'neal which will not play again this year, Glen Davis who is undersized like Blair and Kevin Garnett. This team's front-court is not better then Spurs.
Let's think Miami. They've Bosh and the garbages like Juwan Howard, Dampier, Ilgauskas, Joel Anthony etc. Our front-court is not worse then them.
There are only 2 other contenders who has better front-court then us, Chicago and Lakers. It's very doubtful that we will face against Bulls in play-offs and Lakers is ver vulnerable with injury prone Bynum.
We don't have too bad front-court as the people repeat without stopping.
hopefully Pop will play the 2-time Euroleague MVP and 3-time Euroleague champion tonight but i doubt it
We dont want know about 30 years ago, moron....
We want know about recent-past, and this last 6 years, ACB always have at least 3 or 4 teams in the top 8 of Euroleague, its facts, ACB is the best national league in the world and the second in Europe later Euroleague... ACB matches are broadcast to America and the rest of world, every player want play there.. SPAIN is the best basketball team in the world later USA, many players of national team plays in ACB... Rubio, Garbajosa, Navarro, Reyes, San Emiterio, without count other great players like Lorbek, Huertas, Lakovic, Pete Mickeal, Terence Morris, Omar Cook, and others..
Greece have just 2 elite teams in Europe, ACB have 4 maybe 5 teams.
look Panatinaikos and Olympiacos roster
80% of team are GREEK players! the others are SERBIANS (brothers)
and now look Barcelona, Madrid and other teams roster, have a lot of international players there.
ACB confirms its status as most attractive league

I WROTE you are mononeuronic, and I am probably been gallant.
It's springtime, and manic-obsessive individuals of your sort usually take lithium.
It's about time, before your mood gets dangerously out of control.
Don't make me ring up your psychiatrist to wake him up.
He might be upset andBAD things happen.
You should probably know that by know.
Take those pills!
Manu forever is lying, splitter was the europe mvp and championship finals mvp, therefore best center in europe, he's in denial.
Splitter starting tonight !
He's free, lets see what he can do.
