Jeff McDonald: Another H-O-R-S-E moment (http://blogs.mysanantonio.com/weblogs/courtside/archives/2008/12/jeff_mcdonald_a_18.html)
The most contentious moment of shootaround, not surprisingly, involved a game of H-O-R-S-E. Assistant coach Chip Engelland stayed alive in his game with rookie George Hill with a disputed shot.
Hill started by swishing a shot from behind the basket, over the glass. On Engellend's attempt to match, meanwhile, the ball got stuck on top of the backboard. And by stuck, we mean stuck. As in stationary. As in not moving.
Undaunted, Engelland used another ball to dislodge it, sending the original ball tumbling into the basket. Hill will point out that this isn't exactly the shot he had made. That didn't matter to Engelland, who raised his arms in celebration.
From there, Engelland eventually went on to win the match, much to Hill's chagrin.
"I got cheated," Hill grumbled afterward. "It was unfair, but I can't say nothing because he's a coach."
