Catch Tiago Splitter Live Today -- The International Game Thread

by Wayne Vore (ATS) on Oct 15, 2009 9:14 AM CDT in Outside the League

Mid-day yesterday, I remembered that Nando De Colo's Valencia team was playing Regal Barcelona and I went to the ACB site to get a score update. With a little help from LatinD, I found that they are streaming the games live (HEY NBA! CHECK IT OUT. THEY LET THEIR FANS WATCH THE GAMES.)

Today, Tiago's Caja Laboral team is on the tubes with a 1:00 Spurs time tip off.

Enter, and get your feed freak on.

You should be able to go to ACBTV and get the feed somewhere close to game time. I haven't sat through the waiting process yet so I'm not exactly sure how it works.

You will need to have an Adobe Flash player installed. The quality is pretty good.

Btw, Valencia got completely drubbed by Barcelona 87-62 and it wasn't that close. Mid-third it was about 60-30. JC Navarro was just killing with 24 points on 6-6 from 3-point. Nando got 16 on 6-15 shooting.

Jerome Moiso is playing for Bilbao as well as former Spurs second round pick Damir Markota. He was immediately traded to Milwaukee for the pick that became Marcus Williams (I think).

Tiago just front-rimmed a 15’ jumper.

Tiago running the break and gets the assist.

The best part is that he got a tough rebound and passed it off and they passed it back to him as he was coming up to mid-court.

Well, Tiago finished the first half with 0 points on 0-4 shooting.

He did have 4 rebounds and 3 assists though.

He’d have a good 8-9 assists in this game if his teammates could hit wide open jumpers. He’s a slick passer out of the post.

What do you think a realistic statline would be for Tiaggo in the NBA, on the Spurs ? Lets say about 28 MPG…

Hmmm, hard to say. Hypothetically, let’s say he’s playing next to Tim (and thus not a real option offensively), he’d probably go for about 8 and 7. I think he’d be very consistent. You wouldn’t ever get really big numbers out of him. For instance, I couldn’t see him putting up a 20-14 or stringing together a series of 18-12 nights.

So, essentially a younger Rasho?

Like a Rasho who can pass and is mobile. I was thinking like a Fab, but who is taller and capable of altering some shots.

Can he flop like Fab?

by silverandblack_davis on Oct 15, 2009 10:17 PM CDT up reply actions

considering he’s a european player (i know he’s brazilian), and Fab has been for several years in the NBA, I’d say that Fab might be a little rusty now. So Splitter can flop better (not actual knowledge, just assumption).

Eh. Those are solid numbers, but a bit underwhelming as well….

In order for it to have been worth the wait ( and the contract that he will be seeking ) I would hope Tiaggo could top off at about 12 PPG and 8 or 9 RPG, even if he were playing next to Tim Duncan…..( in about 30mpg )

I just don’t see them paying him more than about 3-3.5/year. He’s a very solid player. Fundamentally sound. But he doesn’t have a jump shot. If he was deadly from 15, then maybe he’d hit the 12 and 8 range.

If hes making only about 3.5 mil a year then thats cool. I just would have thought he would be seeking alot more since right now i think hes getting paid around 6 mill a year….

I think the financial situation in Europe is making those contracts not as high. I think he will make 4+. He could easily average 3 assists or more per game with Manu, RJ, and our other spot up shooters. I’m more excited to see him play with Blair than Duncan really. Duncan and Dice might start next season with Splitter and Blair off the bench. Splitter is a true center though….

If Duncan is a PF and not a center this season and Dice is really a PF, do we have the craziest PF lineup ever with Blair, Bonner, and Haislip rounding out the depth chart? Our only true centers are Ratliff and Mahinmi.

Mr. Youngevity and Mr Glass.

I guess we won’t be sending a center to the all-star game this year, eh?

In the west, the players that will be classified as centers in the west with a chance of making the all-star game are:
Al Jefferson, Andrew Bynum, and maybe Oden, but doubt it. If we put Duncan down as center, he’ll most likely start at the all-star game.

The power forward crop is quite competitive:

Nowitzki, Boozer, Gasol, A’mar’e’, and maybe Aldridge and Scola getting a good number of votes too. And it might even be two small forwards that get to start, since the ASG sucks like that.

I think we should list Timmy as our center this year, since Yao is out and won’t be a lock at center. It will give Timmy the greatest chance of starting in the ASG, if that’s even important.

I think that what they think is more important than this year’s ASG nod, is the “best PF ever” which would take a bit of a hit if they listed him at center.

Assuming that they care about these things at all, which isn’t an air-tight case.

All of these energy drinks on the market crack me up. But I cant hate on the people who came up with this stuff and are now millionaires because of it.

Stuff like Red bull, Monster and even things that contains many more vitamins, like Youngevity and such.

People dont realize you can create your own energy drink that is probably even healthier ( and FAR cheaper ) than the most potent of “energy drinks” just by washing down a high-potency multi-vitamin ( not like centrum, im talking about the horse pill type stuff purchased at places like GNC ) with all natural juice like “naked juice”

If you want an extra caffeinated kick, you could add a natural caffeine pill, like guarana to the multivitamin.

Red bull is great for a pickup ( if you can stomach the flavor) but i bet most people dont know that regualr drip coffee has more caffeine, and can potentially contain FAR more caffeine depending on how you brew it.

I should come up with my own ridiculous energy drink and get filthy rich…
