    Splitter had 11 points and 8 rebounds on 5 for 5 shooting. Oh yeah, he played half as many minutes as Scola.

    But seriously. If this game was gonna be made into a thread we should make it all about Splitter. Forget Scola.

    He also could have had 16 pts in the same time had he not shot 1/6 on his free throws. Sounds like a Spur to me.

    Don't forget the 4 steal and a block advantage Splitter has as well...in 17 minutes.

    Splitter's line is more impressive. He shot better, he played better D, he got to the line more, and he did it in fewer minutes.

    Just wait until Splitter gets some minutes...


    Oh..and I will give Scola credit for Splitter's performance...

    Scola was probably the guy that gave up his 5-5 from the field and trips to the FT line...

    I just can't wait to see Duncan get him some Scola. With Adelman's help...Scola's going to make Brad Miller look like David Robinson on D...

    Splitter<Scola
    he learned almost all his post moves from him.. he may become better in the future.. but just not now... i have seen them both lots of time... and Splitter is WAY more turnover prone when he has to deal by himself down low. he doesn;t have the coolness required to make the right decision under double teams.. BUT he will get to a point where he'll be better than Scola... just not now gang...

    Of course Scola is going to put up some numbers. Where's Fabi Oberto? Where's Gino. I would imagine he could put up 23 w/o two of Argentina's stars.

    This game clearly tells us everything that we need to know about the players involved. Scola is a god, and Splitter will never miss a shot from the floor his entire career. The Spurs need to scout this Diego Logrippo person, too. And Carlos Delfino sucks.

    Oh, and Nene's real name never fails to make me laugh.

    Not likely that Splitter's going to be drawing a lot of double teams on the Spurs.

    Final, Splitter has 24 points, 10 rebounds, 1 assist, three turnovers and three personal fouls. He went 6/8 from the line and had two blocks and a steal.

    in 36 minutes.

    Plus, Splitter carried Brazil in the clutch time. Best individual in this tournament by far (so far).

    By the way can somebody translate this interview with him

    http://www.lanacion.com.ar/deportiva...717&origen=rss
    Thiago Spliter, de Brasil y con acento albiceleste
    El pivote es amigo de Scola, al que conoció en Tau, y podría ser compañero de Ginóbili y Oberto en San Antonio
    Sábado 18 de agosto de 2007

    SAN JUAN DE PUERTO RICO (De un enviado especial).- Su español es casi perfecto; incluso aporteñado , podría afirmarse. Sorprende, sin duda, aunque si se analizan razones, puede entenderse que pasó muchas horas de su vida en Tau Cerámica hablando con Luis Scola.

    Se trata de Tiago Spliter, el pivote del seleccionado brasileño, que ya suma varios años rodeado de argentinos en el club de Vitoria, con el que este año fue subcampeón de la poderosa Liga ACB y campeón de la Copa del Rey. Además de Scola, tuvo como compañeros a Pablo Prigioni -el unico que quedará este año-, Chapu Nocioni y Ariel Eslava.

    En la última temporada promedió 11 puntos y 5 rebotes en los 29 partidos de la liga regular, y con una altura de 2,10m, y a los 22 años, se prepara para disputar su quinta temporada en Tau. Tiago apenas tenía 15 años cuando comenzó su periplo en el básquetbol europeo, al ser convocado por el club de Vitoria; entre 2001 y 2003 fue cedido en préstamo a Bilbao Basket, y luego regresó a Tau.

    Pero hay más. Parece que su vida está signada a rodearse de jugadores criollos, porque Tiago fue elegido en junio último, en el ultimo draft de la NBA por San Antonio Spurs, donde tendría como compañeros a Manu Ginóbili y Fabricio Oberto. Hasta aquí, su único paso previo por el básquetbol norteamericano fue cuando concurrió a un campus en Chicago, previo al draft de 2004. Sin embargo, la oportunidad le llegó ahora.

    -Se advierte que hablaste mucho con Luis (por Scola).

    -Muchísimo. Es un gran amigo. El me enseñó muchos secretos del trabajo de los pivotes. Especialmente, copié sus movimientos ofensivos y también miro mucho cómo defiende. Es un tremendo jugador y estoy seguro de que le irá muy bien en Houston. También soy muy amigo de Pablito (por Prigioni).

    -¿Cuál es la virtud que más te gustaría tener de Scola?

    -La entrega, la ac ud, el hecho de jugar y entrenarse siempre al ciento por ciento. Es increíble ver cómo se sacrifica por mejorar cada día.

    -Lo van a extrañar

    -Será imposible suplir a un líder como él. Quizá con el tiempo surja otro, pero lo cierto es que Luis era el símblo de Tau.

    -Y ahora vas a jugar con Manu Ginóbili y Fabricio Oberto.

    -Tengo excelentes referencias de ellos, pero no será este año.

    -¿Cuál es tu situación?

    -Tengo un año más de contrato con Tau y no puedo rescindir, porque el vínculo se termina en 2010. Sólo en la próxima temporada entrará en vigencia una cláusula de salida para poder ir a la NBA.

    -¿Cómo es?

    -Hay que pagar 1.000.000 de dólares. Los Spurs pueden hacerse cargo de la mitad y yo debería pagar el otro 50%. Estoy contento y me siento muy cómodo en Vitoria, pero creo que no habrá problemas para ir a la NBA el año próximo si los Spurs me necesitan.

    -Vas a una gran franquicia.

    -Sí, lo sé. Es la mejor, con un clima de equipo casi familiar. Yo estoy muy tranquilo, creo que me voy a adaptar muy bien. Además, conozco a Manu y a Fabricio, y sé que ellos me van a guiar en mis primeros meses.

    He's just lucky he doesn't have to play Norway.

    Scola has had an average game against Canada : 15 points, 5 rebounds and 2 missed free throws in the clutch to tie the game.
    Strangely, nobody speak about it or start a thread for that.

    I guess we will see that all the year : People will only speak about Scola when he has a good game and won't say a word about him when he will have an average or bad game.
