Splitter cant hit free throws they said
Splitter is too injury prone they said
Splitter cant play big minutes they said
Past 5 games
11 pts/7.4 rebounds/1.6 Assists/1.2 Steals/1.2 Blocks on 68% from the field and 87% from the free throw line in only 28 minutes
Spur fan better enjoy it while it lasts
hes leaving in the off season tbh per par
he's a restricted free agent, and he'll stay here. probably will get a contract similar to asik.
the guy obviously CAN be a physical presence and a stout defender. i'd love to see it night in and night out, but he does tend to have his soft nights. past couple of performances against memphis have been encouraging though
Spurs can match any offer... not like he'll be Hibbert 2.0 we hope...
At least he dunked tonight
He also averages something like 4 of his own shots blocked by game and chocked and got hacked last year.
The elephant in the room is that Diaw is playing better than him or Green the other trade bait so we should really pull a Ghill and trade him while it's time instead of overpaying.
Even if they can match I doubt they would if he gets somewhere in the 10 million range
they wont get a better return this year for splitter
it could be possible to get a lottery pick
in the best case scenario they get someone like marcin gortat or a disgruntled josh smith
more likely they get some roleplayers and picks
Always had faith in this guy.
The passive play was due more to the referee's tbh. The Europeans cop a lot of bull phantom calls their first few years.
It would be great if this could have happened two years ago. He would be much better by now.
Since you made this thread it's guaransheed Splitter will get injured very soon.
I'd like to see him continue this play and show CONSISTENCY. , Danny Green has strung 5 good games together. Consistency is key if hes going to be > Role Player and help LEAD us to a championship.
with that being said, he was a grown man on the boards tonight, finished STRONG at the rim and even had a good block or two. Going against the quality big men of Memphis I was impressed. but Ive never gotten too high or too low on Splitter and I wont until he shows he can sustain this play over the long haul.
*Performs the circle circle poke poke, anti cooties reverse jinx*
He has talent...can you imagine how good he'd be if he grew one nut? Dude is very soft.
The guy is still young and will improve over the next few years. Id like to keep him around.
hope that he will still be with us next season, he's proving now that he can be a serviceable at his position..
Some of you must think that 7 footers who play the pick and roll to perfection and who aren't head cases grow on trees. I think we're all spoiled by Duncan.
Nice story. I like making up stuff too from time to time too.
I think not many players will be consistent without consistent playing time. This is the first season Splitter is getting green light from Pop. Tiago used to be the man in his European team but until last season in the NBA the only consistency he got from Pop was the hook when he made a mistake. Once a player is lucky enough to have the coach's support he gains confidence and improves.
Playing time. What a genius move by a genius coach. What other coach in the NBA but POP would have thought of giving a 7 footer some court time?
Absolutely genius and we are damn lucky to have this coach.
Here I thought that Matt Bonner was the end-all be-all of Spurs ball for the past few years. How stupid of me.
Splitter will let you down in the big playoff games. You just wait and see.
you should make this a thread prediction so i can bump it and laugh at you later.
Splitter isn't naturally tough, but he's learning. Good coaching can help that. He's a legit 6'11" though so that's good to start. Maybe he can bulk up a little more too so he doesn't go all Gumby whenever anyone bumps him in the post.
Laugh now, cry later. This place was full of cry babies when the spurs got beat last year, expecting the same this year.
They probably will get beat again this year, but it won't be because Splitter was played instead of Bonner or Blair.
