Welcome head coach Tiago Splitter (3 Viewers)

[Rastapopoulos]

I'm cautiously optimistic about this. His tenure as head coach in Paris was "historic"

Splitter, a Coach in Paris History - ParisBasketball

After a season marked by numerous historic successes for the Club, Tiago Splitter has decided to leave Paris Basketball. The Brazilian coach is heading to

First China, now Brazil. We're going to be the most popular sports team in the world!

May he become this team’s Rick Adelman.

With a name like Splitter, we're guaranteed 41 wins! Go Blazers! This may turn out well for the Blazers.

It would be funny if this whole Chauncey thing ended up spurring us to a championship lol

“SPURring”?

And if we go 41-41, he’ll have coached 41-40!

Why did we choose Splitter over Borkjen?

 

[Everything Beagle]

Why did we choose Splitter over Borkjen?

Borkjen decided he’d do better where he was.

 

[Tweak]

Why did we choose Splitter over Borkjen?

Bjorkgren declined the offer,said he would be of more help by remaining an assistant.

 

[GoZers]

I love that it’s Splitter.

This team is the League of Nations.

We have players from Canada, China, Sudan, France, Belgium, Israel, the U.S. ... if only Donovan Clingan was from Klingon.

who says he's not....have you taken a close look at him?

BIlugh!

 

[kjironman1]

Wanted to see what Chauncey would do with this group when he wasn’t tanking but I have to admit I think this was a great choice to move forward with.

 

[kjironman1]

He will most certainly have a better winning percentage than Chauncey.

 

[Phatguysrule]

I think this will be a significant improvement

 

[Shaboid]

Idk why, but I always thought of Master Splinter from TMNT when I heard Tiago's name in the past. I hope he is as wise and impactful as that giant rat was in the sewers to those turtles.

 

[SharpeScooterShooter]

Borkjen decided he’d do better where he was.

Did you read that, or just a guess?

 

[TYDame]

He learned from POP so let's GO Tiago!

 

[SharpeScooterShooter]

So. Does this mean KlingKong and Yang will now play together forty minutes a night?

 

[theprunetang]

Kevin Calabro: And Donovan sends that shot by James straight to Sto-vo-kor!

Lamar Hurd: P'tahk.

What is Splitter's coaching experience? How many NBA championships has he won? I only remember him playing for the Spurs

He won one NBA championship as a player with the Spurs in 2014 and he was the head coach of Paris Basketball last year and won the French league championship. Before that he was an assistant coach on the Rockets for the 2023-24 season and before that he spent 4 seasons on the Nets as an assistant coach.

I'd say that's a pretty good resume.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Is he the tallest head coach in the history of the NBA?
I wanna see him get in the face of a ref and have the ref crumble in fear.

 

[inconceivable]

81-1

That 2014 championship team was the most fun team to watch in my lifetime.

Thats like hooking up with the the hottest chic in the ugly class
