Summer League Game 5: Spurs vs. Jazz

[tp2021]

Triple turnover

[timvp]

Hill looks a lot more comfortable. The day off did he good.

[aznballer]

great pass by hill finally something storng by ian

[ceperez]

hmmm... didn't noticed how he got the ball from his own miss.

[tp2021]

looked like a foul to me...

[aznballer]

they just won't stop praising their jazz

[SPURSGOAT]

they just won't stop praising their jazz

what do you expect it is in utah...

[tp2021]

at least hill fought for his miss

[aznballer]

tolliver is buckets

[ace3g]

tolliver with another long jumper

[SPURSGOAT]

tolliver can flat out shoot...

[tp2021]

trade bonner for a second rounder. sign tolliver.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

iiiiiiit's tolliver!!!! Heeeeees aaaaaa sex pervert!

[SPURSGOAT]

we could use tolliver since barry is gone

[tp2021]

gay

[Bartleby]

who shot the airball?

[koopa]

tolliver can flat out shoot...

i'm starting to like tolliver, but i figure it's pointless to really start to like him cause there is no chance in hell he can make the team

[ggoose25]

Let them play ref!

[aznballer]

i'm starting to like tolliver, but i figure it's pointless to really start to like him cause there is no chance in hell he can make the team

whys tat

[urunobili]

flop by Hill

[Obstructed_View]

For those that are getting periodically choppy vid, I've just created a shortcut on my desktop and when it starts to screw up I just close it and re-launch it. It comes back in about five seconds before I closed so I don't miss anything. Kind of a pain in the ass, but it's better than the video taking a shit.

[BOHOLANO#21]

Here is the direct link:

thanks a bunch. the other link keeps buffering.

[GooberNuts]

Hill needs to get in a rythm

[ace3g]

watkins sucks, and Tolliver is still on fire

[Obstructed_View]

whys tat

Mainly because he's a terrible defender.

[Bartleby]

Tolliver may be shooting himself into consideration for a roster spot.

[benefactor]

Tolliver may be shooting himself into consideration for a roster spot.
Yeah...hopefully they at least bring him in for the preseason to get a closer looks.

[tp2021]

a black guy named hiram?

[tp2021]

nice deflection, but where was the foul?

[tp2021]

Wop by green

[GooberNuts]

Did Hill hit a shot?...

[Obstructed_View]

Yeah...hopefully they at least bring him in for the preseason to get a closer looks.

Don't the Spurs usually have a lot of guys in camp?

[tp2021]

they complain when that foul isnt called? damn whitey

[Obstructed_View]

George finally gets one to go.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Fuck yea George

[Bartleby]

great steal.

[timvp]

First time Hill used his speed.

[Spurs Brazil]

Great play by Hill, steal and the finish

[koopa]

hill seems like a different player today, he's seems more aggressive, the shots ain't dropping but he seems more comfortable, hopefully with more training the rest of the offseason and then training camp he'll be the player pop hyped him up to be

[tp2021]

Well now we know Deron can read.

[SPURSGOAT]

good d by hill

[Obstructed_View]

hill seems like a different player today, he's seems more aggressive, the shots ain't dropping but he seems more comfortable, hopefully with more training the rest of the offseason and then training camp he'll be the player pop hyped him up to be

Yeah, but since he's not making baskets, that means he sucks and should be given up on immediately.

[koopa]

fucking refs

[aznballer]

shit almonds traveled

[koopa]

Yeah, but since he's not making baskets, that means he sucks and should be given up on immediately.

:lol :lol

[SPURSGOAT]

whew at least we get the whole second half of no deron interview.

[benefactor]

Even Deron and the homer announcers knew that was a walk...

[tp2021]

even deron saw the travel "but hes on our team, so it counted."

[ggoose25]

22 is not making this team. He's been selfish the entire first half and has played lousy D

[Biggems]

i cant get the game stats

[urunobili]

damn Tolliver>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Bonner

[timvp]

It looks like Hill finally stopped thinking so much and is back to playing. His jumper still looks off but the rest of his game looks fine.

[SPURSGOAT]

22 is not making this team. He's been selfish the entire first half and has played lousy D

yea green was good the first couple of games... about it though

[SPURSGOAT]

It looks like Hill finally stopped thinking so much and is back to playing. His jumper still looks off but the rest of his game looks fine.


Yea this is by far his best game; everything is a lot smoother.. he even made a nice steal and some shots. Really starting to see why Pop is so excited about Hill.

[benefactor]

Box score anyone?

[DPG21920]

I hate my life, my feed is still not working. I get perfect audio but just a frozen picture.

[DPG21920]

I feel like headbutting a baby deer.

[angelbelow]

cant find the boxscore either

[SPURSGOAT]

I hate my life, my feed is still not working. I get perfect audio but just a frozen picture.

I changed my buffer speed to 60 seconds... it made a big difference. It still craps out every once and a while, but just have to wait and it comes back

[SPURSGOAT]

cant find the boxscore either

probably won't be there til after the game.

[ElNono]

Yeah, but since he's not making baskets, that means he sucks and should be given up on immediately.

You're a douche. Where did I say I given up on him? I dare you to quote me on that. When your PG can't shoot, averages 3 assists per game and as many turnovers, he sucks. I'll be first in line to praise him if he improves substantially.
In the meantime, JV will probably do a better job than this guy.

[DPG21920]

I changed my buffer to 60 seconds and it did not do anything for me. I have no idea what is wrong. I guess I am going to go watch the batman movie, I do not even feel like going out anymore.

[vanishing_dude]

how bout gist and hill stats?:flag:

[DPG21920]

I think Hill and Gist combined have nothing because all they are doing is standing in one spot frozen...

[GooberNuts]

It works for me by watching the game through the NBA feed, and then when it gets choppy, just stop and play it again. Works fine.

[GooberNuts]

Hill - 12 points
Green - 7
Tolliver - 6
Mahinmi - 5

[timvp]

George Hill with 12 points at the half :smokin

[vanishing_dude]

wow...so disappointing..

[tempest186]

Hill with 12 at the half per the broadcast

[vanishing_dude]

atleast hill had 12 pts

[tempest186]

Gist with 3

[tp2021]

Gist with 4

[SPURSGOAT]

hill is 4 of 9... a big step up from where he was

[tempest186]

Is Harrison playing tonight?

[SPURSGOAT]

damn cmon gist get more points...

[vanishing_dude]

hill is 4 of 9... a big step up from where he was

improvement from hill..he he keeps it up!!hahahha

[SPURSGOAT]

Is Harrison playing tonight?

nope

[vanishing_dude]

i min "hope he keeps it up"

[DPG21920]

I get all the ads perfectly fine, no problems there.

[ggoose25]

they are giving Gist a ton of playing time.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Ian Mahinmi.........some saviour.

[romad_20]

I thought Gist had a 3 earlier and a jam. How many does he have now and did anyone ever find a boxscore. I couldn't find it on the summer league site.

[Bartleby]

I'd love to see Gist get another double double, but if he gets a spot on the roster it will be b/c of his rebounding and defense.

[urunobili]

video down again?

[benefactor]

Link just crashed and burned

[SPURSGOAT]

damn crashed... had to restart the feed

[SPURSGOAT]

buffering in real slow now

[ceperez]

Mahinmi isn't impressing anyone.

Seems totally absent both offensively and defensively. It's looking like he'll need an extra year in the D-league. Maybe we should sign Elson again???!

[SPURSGOAT]

ian has been pretty absent in this game...

[vanishing_dude]

is the second half starting?

[benefactor]

...and we're back.

[DPG21920]

Mahinmi isn't impressing anyone.

Seems totally absent both offensively and defensively. It's looking like he'll need an extra year in the D-league. Maybe we should sign Elson again???!

He needs to learn how to swim. No need to give him 20 minutes a night, but 5-10 and special extra practices.

[GooberNuts]

I wish they would just provide commentary for the game...is that too much to ask?

[SPURSGOAT]

and its back... lol

[Spurs Brazil]

Great play by Hill

AND ONE!!!!

[mystargtr34]

George Hill with the steal and goes the length of the court for the and one.

[SPURSGOAT]

is the second half starting?

about 5 mins left in the 3rd

[ace3g]

nice steal and and 1 by Hill

[GooberNuts]

C'mon ref, bail out call

Edit: Wait, nvm, I think I'm a little behind here...

[benefactor]

Hill finishes at the rim...and 1.

[SPURSGOAT]

George Hill with the steal and goes the length of the court for the and one.

hell yea! hill finally ball'n in this game.

[tp2021]

"the environment here in salt lake city is condusive to him making good decisions..."cuz theres nothing to do. not just bad stuff. just anything in general.

[SPURSGOAT]

damn green is selfish

[angelbelow]

morrison is quite the ballhog.

[ceperez]

Finally.. good block by Ian

[GooberNuts]

Nice block by Mahinmi

[Spurs Brazil]

great block by Ian

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Skinhead J

[SPURSGOAT]

is that hariston in there? I didnt think he was playing

[ceperez]

Fuller shoots on top of Ian.... Ian's defense again suspect... he barely challenged that shot.

[GSH]

George Hill with 12 points at the half :smokin


Yeah, but when he does good it means nothing, because it's only summer league. Don't bring in facts that contradict people's rigid world view.

I hope he has 30 by the end.

[benefactor]

Well...guess I'll have to catch this on a replay. Just can't get the feed to be consistent.

[024]

mahinmi should not have gotten beat on that rebound.

[vanishing_dude]

dang..the feed ain't working anymore...access denied!!!

[vanishing_dude]

shit...the feed is back..but it is too damn slow!!

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Come on Ian, get your head in the game.

[DPG21920]

will this be on replay?

[GooberNuts]

Announcers are praising Hill

[mystargtr34]

Commentators giving George Hill some nice props.... and then he blows by his man and gets to the line.

[Spurs Brazil]

Hill with agressive move. Going to the line

[SPURSGOAT]

hear that they are talking about HILL!

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Nice, Hill getting to the line.

[mystargtr34]

George Hill makes both free throws... has 21 points for the night at the end of the 3rd quarter.

Keep it up George

[GooberNuts]

Aww flop by Brazelton

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Ticky tack foul. Let them play refs... fagets.

[GSH]

Damn, I love watching a Spur shoot a free throw and feeling like it is actually going to go in.

[timvp]

Alright whoever that fake Hill who was in Vegas needs to stay in Vegas.

This is the Hill the Spurs drafted.

:smokin

[SPURSGOAT]

there you go hill your first praise by some tv comentators.

[Joe Schmoogins]

that was a lame offensive foul. terrible call... glad to see hill playing so aggressive though!

[angelbelow]

so since geogre hill is useless cause he went 0-16, what does scoring 21 points in a summer league make him? the next gary payton? (mainly directed at sequspur and friends.)

[GooberNuts]

Go for 30 Hill!!

[Cloud786]

Has Hill made any jumpers today? Or is it all free throws and drives?

[SPURSGOAT]

Alright whoever that fake Hill who was in Vegas needs to stay in Vegas.

This is the Hill the Spurs drafted.

:smokin

HELL YEA! Now he is looking like a first round pick! :flag:

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs up 9 after the 3rd

[ceperez]

Problem with Hill is that when he pentrates, he seems to have a moment where he doesn't seem to have complete control of the ball. Matter of fact, the ball is pretty exposed... maybe need's to cradle the ball like what Manu does... in the NBA, that move can easily be picked off!

[SPURSGOAT]

morrison making some good shots

[Spurs Brazil]

Morrinson on fire

[mystargtr34]

James Gist just got abused by a white guy.

[Cloud786]

Gist just got done in by white boy!

[GooberNuts]

Hairston is in

[SPURSGOAT]

lets hear what sequ has to say now about hill lol

[angelbelow]

yikes gist..

[tp2021]

Tolliver swat to Gist bucket! And 1
GIST!

[ace3g]

Morrison with 2 straight 3 pointers

[mystargtr34]

And james Gist with an And 1

[vanishing_dude]

nice move by gist!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Gist and one!!!

[ggoose25]

atta boy Gist! I love these young spurs

[ace3g]

nice sequence there, Tolliver gets a block, and then Gist gets a rebound and put back for and 1

[ceperez]

Tolliver with a block.

Gist with a great move under the basket. And 1!

[mystargtr34]

That was a sick move by that white guy.

[angelbelow]

i cant tell if gist is struggling cause of the feed but when it does play he appears to be struggling.. is this how everyone else views it?

[Spurs Brazil]

Malik and one

[mystargtr34]

Hairston drives, misses and puts it back for the And 1

[ace3g]

spurs shooting 50% in the 2nd half, and Gist loose ball almost went in after he lost control of it

Hairston with a nice putback and 1

[ggoose25]

spurs scouting didnt do too bad this year

[SPURSGOAT]

i cant tell if gist is struggling cause of the feed but when it does play he appears to be struggling.. is this how everyone else views it?

hard for me to tell too... feed seems to cut out when he does something good lol

[ducks]

spurs own azz

[SPURSGOAT]

damn it crashed and now can't connect to the feed anymore...

[ggoose25]

It crashed right as someone was going to throw down a possible alley oop

[Spurs Brazil]

DAMN, the stream is gone for me

[vanishing_dude]

i stop watching it only makes me dizzy...ill just stick to this spread to know infos bout the game

[urunobili]

Tolliver deserves an invitation to training camp...

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Feed is working for me.

[xcoriate]

spurs own azz

oh god

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Skinhead just threw up a fuckin airball on an open layup. :vomit:

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Cuffee jumps over the obstacles and makes the layup.

[SPURSGOAT]

feed is fine again

[timvp]

Hill finishes with 21 points on 6-for-14 shooting. Didn't even play that many minutes.

Good improvement :tu

[GSH]

I'm so thankful for the little message at the bottom that says, "Optimized streaming experience." If not for that I might feel like I am having a crappy streaming experience.

[Bartleby]

Morrison would be a good addition to the Toros.

[angelbelow]

glad to see hill playing with some confidence, i like this follow up game.

[Biggems]

the feed was off and on.....but i dont mind....i am thankful i finally got to see some of our young prospects in live game action.

[ducks]

link to box score?

[Obstructed_View]

I'm so thankful for the little message at the bottom that says, "Optimized streaming experience." If not for that I might feel like I am having a crappy streaming experience.

:lol That's why I left to do something else. Having to re-launch the thing every 45 seconds just wasn't worth it. Of course it looks like they went on a scoring binge about the time I stopped watching.

[ceperez]

Hill finishes with 21 points on 6-for-14 shooting. Didn't even play that many minutes.

Good improvement :tu

Decent game a Hill, definitely an a Jacque Vaughn upgrade.

Gist had a couple of good moves.

Mahinmi had a forgettable game. The more I watch him, the more I'm thinking that he needs more time in the D-league. He just doesn't seem to know where to position, he also doesn't seem to have a big defensive presence. He also looks small compared to the 7 footer that the Jazz have.

[Obstructed_View]

link to box score?

http://www.nba.com/media/jazz/rmr08_day1_gm2.pdf

It's not up yet, but this should be where it is.

[timvp]

link to box score?Patience, my fair feathered friend. It should be up within the hour. It looks like for the RMR that they scan the boxscore as a PDF and then put it online.

Ian is timid. Time in the D league isn't going to fix that.

Good improvement :tu

[QUOTE=usckk;2670335]Here's my predictions:
-Hill: 21 points, 2 Dimes, 6 Rebounds, and 2 Turnovers

Am I good or what? :)

[duncan228]

Patience, my fair feathered friend.

:lol

[ElNono]

George Hill played a good game tonight, and it's not his scoring I'm talking about (altought scoring always help). He reduced his turnovers and combined better his drive and dish, along with the drive and finish. I really don't know much about the kind of competition he went against in the Utah PG, but he definitely did not have any lapses keeping up with his guy defensively, which to me is the biggest improvement. Overall, :tu for Hill. I wonder how much an effect the one day off had on him?

[urunobili]

Ian is timid. Time in the D league isn't going to fix that.

he won;t ever make it as a spur... Tolliver by the other hand would look nice with us...

[SPURSGOAT]

Hill was really good in this game; especially the 2nd half.. he should just, hopefully, get better and better... starting to look like a first round pick.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

he won;t ever make it as a spur... Tolliver by the other hand would look nice with us...

Did you just say you'd rather have Tolliver than Mahinmi?

[ducks]

Patience, my fair feathered friend. It should be up within the hour. It looks like for the RMR that they scan the boxscore as a PDF and then put it online.

sorry I am upgrading my mac to leaopard and am wanting my to get something done in the mean time

:lmao You expected him to play perfect games before he even knew the system, God your backtracking is pathetic.

[SPURSGOAT]

I agree... but no good games on a mac so I stick with windows... gonna get the new iphone tomorrow though lol!

[urunobili]

Did you just say you'd rather have Tolliver than Mahinmi?

as an overall player?

FUCK YES

Tolliver>Ian>Bonner

save it...

and btw good u r supporting the new knot's video... :devil

[SPURSGOAT]

what did everyone think of gist's game? seems like he had his worst game tonight. Hope that didn't hurt his chances at making the roster. have not seen a box score yet, so could be wrong... he did have some good baskets of what I saw when my feed was not cutting out...

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Ian is as soft as charmin.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

as an overall player?

FUCK YES

Tolliver>Ian>Bonner

save it...
Yeah an undersized power forward who doesn't play much D is gonna make it rather than a good sized power forward with loads of potential.

and btw good u r supporting the new knot's video... :devil
You know it. That song is the shit.

[urunobili]

Yeah an undersized power forward who doesn't play much D is gonna make it rather than a good sized power forward with loads of potential.
I am not sure why they decided to gamble so much drafting the kid... they knew he started balling way too old (16)... the only thing i have seen on him that made me a believer was a monster block on Acker last year's pre season game against the mavs at the aa center... other than that all what i've seen it's a guy that needs more developing to get minimally good to play with high IQ players like Tim, Tony, Bruce and Manu...

[DespЏrado]

Pretty invisible out there especially with the bad feed. I'd be willing to bet he was gassed after this many straight games. But I think he still managed to contribute a little bit.

[ElNono]

:lmao You expected him to play perfect games before he even knew the system, God your backtracking is pathetic.

I expected him to play better. A lot better. And today he took a serious step towards that goal. Where did I say I expected him to play perfect basketball?
C'mon quote me saying that... or stop putting words I didn't say in my mouth.
I call it the way I see it. If you don't like to read me, there's always the ignore setting on the board.

Well no duh he's gonna need more development, he's basically still a rookie, he barely spent any time with the Spurs.

[Bartleby]

I am not sure why they decided to gamble so much drafting the kid... they knew he started balling way too old (16)

Duncan didn't start playing ball until 9th grade.

I'm not saying Ian will be nearly as good as TD, but it's still too early to write him off.

[timvp]

what did everyone think of gist's game?


seems like he had his worst game tonight.

Bingo.

[Bartleby]

I think Gist was probably tired.

[urunobili]

i wonder if Ian even finished high school... :stirpot:

[ducks]

I wonder if manu can write and read

[urunobili]

I wonder if I can write and read

Fixed

[SPURSGOAT]

I think Gist was probably tired.

yea maybe they should rest him the next game...would hate to not see him play though. although if he rests then he could bounce back like Hill did.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Fixed

:lol touchy

[tp2021]

dont get your panties in a bunch urunobili, just cuz you are no ginobili.

I call it the way I see it. If you don't like to read me, there's always the ignore setting on the board.

You expected him to not have a single defensive lapse and to not turn the ball over. That is a hell of a lot of expectations to put on a player who has never played with these teammates and is still learning the point guard position.

If anything he showed that he had this talent in those first couple of games things just weren't falling for him. Face it you bailed on Hill and now that he is finally putting up points you want back on the wagon. You suck at analyzing a player for overall ability and letting a player learn the system.

and did you see them put up Deron Williams summer league stats?
9 pts
4 asts

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

dont get your panties in a bunch urunobili, just cuz you are no ginobili.

:lol

[Bartleby]

i wonder if Ian even finished high school... :stirpot:

Would it matter? Kobe, Lebron, and Dwight Howard never spent a day in college and they're pretty good.

[urunobili]

I got my panties down for you urunobili, just cuz you are no ginobili doesn't mean i don't like you.

Fixed for ducky's girlfriend

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

:lol calm down urunobili. Don't say you didn't expect it coming.

[urunobili]

:lol calm down urunobili. Don't say you didn't expect it coming.

i made a basic comment on Ian's education as he doesn't seem to be a fast learner and all frenchies got mad... i like the kid he is a terrific perosn.. i just suggested his IQ is what is stopping him from progressing faster and what will kill his shot to make it to our team

[anakha]

Now, it's Mahinmi that doesn't belong on the Spurs? :lol

[ducks]

his iq is higher then most posters here

[perfect0125]

where i can find a statistics...i only care about that

[ducks]

Now, it's Mahinmi that doesn't belong on the Spurs? :lol

now you can not like manu and mahinmi:lol:lol

[urunobili]

his iq is higher then most posters here

well i have to agree with that... i am still not ready to declare that he won;t ever make it but you have to also admit that he should be a couple steps higher on his way to making it to the "A" team...

[ducks]

training camp going against duncan is better practice then anyone else

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

i made a basic comment on Ian's education as he doesn't seem to be a fast learner
Just as ducks did.

and all frenchies got mad...
So now we're frenchies :rolleyes. And who's to say we got mad? We're having fun too.

i like the kid he is a terrific perosn.. i just said his IQ is what is stopping him from progressing faster and what will kill his shot to make it to our team
You also got your panties in a bunch after ducks and tp2021's joke.

[SPURSGOAT]

where i can find a statistics...i only care about that

no box score yet...:depressed

[urunobili]

Do y'all think Gist worst game so far still made it to a B? i can;t wait for timvp's thoughts.. i hope he doesn;t kill him.. from what i saw it wasn;t THAT bad of a game from him... he just had us used to better performances...

[ducks]

he won;t ever make it as a spur... Tolliver by the other hand would look nice with us...

sig bet:downspin:

[urunobili]

sig bet:downspin:

i pass thanks... :wakeup

[Manufan909]

Can anyone post the stats?

[ducks]

when they get up

[DespЏrado]

Do y'all think Gist worst game so far still made it to a B? i can;t wait for timvp's thoughts.. i hope he doesn;t kill him.. from what i saw it wasn;t THAT bad of a game from him... he just had us used to better performances...

You will know he was just tired if his rebounds were down and his fouls were up, and his point total doesn't dramatically dip. It's those hustle stats and getting into the right position that go first when you are tired.

And I know he had 4 first half points...and I don't think he went scoreless in the second half either.

[SPURSGOAT]

Can anyone post the stats?

nothing to post yet... box score is a broken link atm

You will know he was just tired if his rebounds were down and his fouls were up, and his point total doesn't dramatically dip. It's those hustle stats and getting into the right position that go first when you are tired.

And I know he had 4 first half points...and I don't think he went scoreless in the second half either.

he also had a silly turnover trying to handle the ball like a Guard... i think he still made it to a B though... he probably asked to still play to show his grit and willingness to make it to the team... wish we'all have that kind of data

hope they rest him this next game so he can bounce back...

* edit *, I just saw that Hill played. I thought he was sitting out this game.

[ElNono]

You expected him to not have a single defensive lapse and to not turn the ball over. That is a hell of a lot of expectations to put on a player who has never played with these teammates and is still learning the point guard position.

I expect any point guard that is gong to be getting minutes in our team in 4 months, to have more assists than turnovers, and certainly more than 3 assists a game. I never said I expected him not to have turnovers. Every player has them. But if you don't make up for them somewhere else, yore not helping the team, you're being part of the problem. And as far as his defense, I can understand if it happens to him once. But except for periods on his first game, and this game, he has lost his guy numerous times. Sometimes his guy didn't get the basket and finish, but that doesn't mean it's not a problem. If he gets minutes against the CP3, DWill and Nash of the league, he needs to know how to keep up with his guy. Today he looked a lot better. We'll see if it was a real improvement (I hope so), or just the level of competition.



If anything he showed that he had this talent in those first couple of games things just weren't falling for him. Face it you bailed on Hill and now that he is finally putting up points you want back on the wagon. You suck at analyzing a player for overall ability and letting a player learn the system.

I didn't bail on him and I said so multiple times before this game. I said he had a lot of work ahead of him. And he needs more than one good game to convince me he's not Toros material. We'll see how he does next game.
And you are no better than me and any other armchair GM analyzing talent, so spare me.



and did you see them put up Deron Williams summer league stats?
9 pts
4 asts
Did he also average 4 TOs a game?

[DespЏrado]

ElNono:
The Hill I'm seeing is barely NBDL material.

Right now, he completely SUCKS as a Point Guard. Maybe he'll get better down the road, but right at this moment he sucks donkey balls. There's no other way to put it.

Yeah you didn't bail on him at all and you even said his defense sucks

No box score yet, but some numbers in the recap ...

The Utah Jazz kicked off their Summer League play at the Rocky Mountain Revue Friday night with a loss to the San Antonio Spurs. San Antonio used a dominant second half offensively to quiet the home crowd in Salt Lake City. First round draft pick George Hill led the Spurs with 21 points and 3 assists. Morris Almond had 17 to lead Utah.

The Jazz never could find their offense shooting only 29.8 percent for the game and had only one player in double figures with Almond. San Antonio finished with 44.8 percent and had four players in double figures. Ian Mahimmi had 11 points. Anthony Tolliver and Brian Morrison both finished with 10.

The Spurs led 20-15 at the end of the first quarter fueled by an 11-2 lead to start the game. George Hill led the way for the Spurs with 8 points in the quarter. The Jazz struggled to find their offense as Almond paced them with 7 points.

Morris Almond and Hiram Fuller led a Jazz comeback in the second quarter with hustle blocks, rebounds and defense. Jazz big men Kyrylo Fesenko and Kosta Koufus played limited minutes in the first half picking up three quick fouls apiece. Despite not having their two 7-footers on the floor, the Jazz outscored the Spurs in the second quarter to take the lead at half time 37-34 as Morris Almond converted a three point play in the waning seconds.

It was a low scoring first half as both teams struggled from the field. The Spurs shot 34.3 percent while the Jazz faired only slightly better at 36.8 percent.

The Spurs used a balanced attack in the third quarter to retake the lead 55-46. George Hill led the quarter with 9 points. James Gist led the Spurs on the boards with 6 for the game.
Britton Johnsen had 9 points for the Jazz. Kyrylo Fesenko went scoreless for the game but did have 2 blocked shots. Kosta Koufos finished with 5 points and 4 rebounds.

[Marcus Bryant]

George Hill led the Spurs with 21 points and 3 assists.

ROFL. Fuck you all.

[urunobili]

James Gist led the Spurs on the boards with 6 for the game.

still da man figured to lead the team in boards the mother of the hustle stats in what has been his worst game of the summer league... :spless:

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

ROFL. Fuck you all.

:lmao

[ElNono]

Yeah you didn't bail on him at all and you even said his defense sucks

What part of 'Right now' and 'Maybe he'll get better down the road' you didn't understand?
Do you have reading comprehension problems?
And yes, I said his defense sucked because it did. I actually highlighted that improvement on that in this game as a high point of his performance. He needs tolearn to play Spurs defense in 4 months. Playing league-average defense won't cut it with Pop.

[ElNono]

I'm fairly sure Gist finished with 7 pts to go with those 6 boards.

ohhh thanks for the post.

Gist- i thought this was gist's worst game but hes played 5 games in 5 days so him still hustling and playing with heart and energy tells me that he really wants it. and so far hes been our most deserving and consistent player so this "off" game doesnt concern me.

[Manufan909]

Go Hill!!! I wonder what his field goal percentage was for this game.

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

Go Hill!!! I wonder what his field goal percentage was for this game.

So you guys spend 4 games saying "it's just summer league" to write off his bad performances but now his 21 points is cause for chest thumping after another pre-pre-season game? Hilarious! :lol

REally, pop is unhappy with his d? Thats funny, he is quoted to the contrary below...

The most important expert still firmly in Hill’s camp: Popovich.

“He’s shown us two things,” Popovich said. “One, that he is a legitimate NBA defender. He’s done a very good job on some very high draft picks in this (Las Vegas) camp.

WHO'S HOT

Guard Jeremy Richardson -- who played 27 games for Memphis, San Antonio and Atlanta last season -- had 21 points in 30 minutes as the Hawks beat Dallas 89-74 in the Revue opener.

Richardson, from Delta State, shot 8-of-14 from the field.

Atlanta also got 20 points off the bench from Luke Jackson, a 2004 lottery pick who has bounced around the NBA and the NBA Development League after a back injury derailed his career early on.

Recently signed Gerald Green led the Mavericks with 20 points off the bench.

San Antonio's 2008 first-round draft choice, IUPUI product George Hill, led the Spurs with three assists and 21 points with 6-of-14 field shooting in 27 minutes. "


lol its funny see'ing Hill's name in the Hot category

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Hope we rape.

Dude, terrible turn of phrase. I know what you mean, but it's an ugly way to use words. :nope

People around here (not just you) use the word "rape" far too lightly. It is a very serious word.
