Grades - Spurs vs. Celtics Mar. 20

I spend most of the game raving about George Hill's defense. He is a young Bruce Bowen. No exaggeration. And Bowen looked great too. That 4th quarter line up which included Hill and Bowen was actually looking good. Deflating ending, but Hill was all over Allen. Bowen blanketed Pierce. Fun to watch.

I think people are real pissed and pessimistic.

I was too late! :cry

Awesome tho I will keep an eye on this.

Tony can't get an A..he played a great game, but you just can't get an A if you choke at the line when your team needs you..I understand he was tired from carrying us, but you HAVE to hit your free throws when it matters..especially when you make NONE out of 4..

also, the Celtics are the defending champs, nothing to be embarrassed about..apparently a lot of you have forgotten the fact that we beat Boston on the road when both teams were healthy..it wasn't that long ago..

I think we'll see that Tim Duncan in all due time.

LOL @ RMJ and Parker's grades rising while Hills decreased.

el
oh
el

as if George Hill didnt deserve at least a B+

Cool is this going for every game?

bench overall grade vs starters? :stirpot:

George deserves better, his tenacity on defense was great, especially for a rookie. Plus he had some nice drives. He played his role, what else could he have done?

Our defense didn't pretty damn good. Offesense was a different story.

This was a gimmie, sad loss.

I'll try it out for the next few games to decide whether it's worthwhile or not.
