Tiago will slowly take over the role of Timmy during the next couple of years.

Pop needs to have Tiago practice some layup drills.
Forget freeing Tiago.... Free Novak!! Right now in this game, 10min to play in the 3rd qtr, Novak is leading all Spurs in scoring with 10points in only 7min/25seconds of playing time!!!!! Lmao
In 48 games and 11 MPG in those games, Splitter has now drawn 14 offensive fouls..that's more than any Spurs big did in all of the last season, and only 12 less than Duncan/Bonner/McDyess/Blair/Haislip/Ratliff combined for, all of last season..
He has the highest charge per game rate of any Spurs big in a long time, other than Oberto(one of the best in the NBA, at the time)..
Also, even though Splitter is a terrible FT shooter, he gets to the line at a very impressive rate..Splitter has 9 less FTAs than Blair this season, despite playing 954 less minutes..he has more FTAs than Bonner and McDyess combined + 14..
Splitter was out of the cage tonight...
He looked comfortable out there for the first time in a long time.
im very happy pop read this thread or maybe the guys showed him how much the fans are talking crap about his 3pt flame
I agree, the Golden God looked solid, considering the DNP's.
...but-but...
he DOESN'T spread the floor!
lol at thinking pop has read this thread or cares what the fans think.
All that matters is that The Tiago has been freed. Popovich now knows the power that is The Tiago. That being said, I expect him to go right back to the cage from whence he came.
True, shame he's gonna be benched for a while now.
, Lets hope Splitter will at least be an option come playoff time.
didnt get to view the game but looks like a solid game for splitter. just him being in the game w/ his height alone isnt as much as a liability as bonner on defense. something stats really cant show, like altering a shot.
heres to hopefully playing a role in the playoffs, even if its minor.
it was a joke, well i wonder why tiago actually got some great playing time. i mean pop has done the rest timmy thing alot and still benched tiago.....hopefully its a good sign. as far as tiago wanting to split back to spain. thats why ive been upset can u imagine if he did who we had left for the future? 32 year old matt and blair thats it period. i actually think manu is really helping tiago feel better.
Tiago had a good game against Bobcats and he could be significantly better if he gets consistent playing time. He can help Spurs in the playoffs.
Let him free, don't put him back in the doghouse.
Bye Tiago, it was fun my brazilian friend....
Thanks for the tease, Pop. Now back to DNP-CD for Tiago.
When he's comfortable and involved in the offensive scheme he will go to the FT line a lot. May be useful to put opponents in foul trouble.

This would have been nicer in December.
I think Pop sees him as a china doll and unreliable. Didn't he miss a week earlier in the season when he got hit in the nuts?
He's missed a week for no reason whatsoever when completely healthy, so I'm not sure how you can determine why he missed any particular week. Did he suit up after getting hit in the nuts?
You may be right, but Pop's go-to praise to describe him is always "blue-collar." For my money, that's about 1 complimentary phrase too many for Pop to offer a guy he thinks is fragile.
Don't recall Hairston, Mahinmi, Anderson or even long-ago Linton Johnson III getting a word of recognition when they were out. Don't recall any of them sacrificing their body as much as Splitter when they got burn, either.
Pop likely didn't have people asking about any of those guys on a daily basis, some of whom probably cover international basketball. Again, the closest comparison is probably Oberto.
