I'm starting to believe that this is now about Pop's ego. I know he hates being second-guessed by both the media and by amateurish, neophyte, wannabe coaches and GMs, like us. We surely don't have the perspective he has, but playing Hill in this series is an obvious no-brainer. I mean, at this point, he should do so out of sheer desparation.
nope, i'm not.Quote:

but it's obvious we need george hill.
How does he consider Hill not confident but Bonner enough to playing a huge portion of the game whilst doing absolutely nothing on either ends of the floor.
I believe this is Bonner and Mason's playoff debut (somebody correct me if I'm wrong). So in that regard, they're really not that much different than Hill.Quote:

Pop had no intention of playing Hill in the post season, or he would have used him as the backup point in the second half of the season. The coaching staff obviously decided long ago that he wasn't ready this year. If he uses him now, it's just a desperation move.
Thanks. I got it all wrong. :toastQuote:

Anyone remember this ?
Maybe you should try and show that to POP to get some sence into him?
I mentioned this two days ago, during the game thread, and a number of times since. Hill is a perfect cooler for Barea. if we don't see it in Game 2, Pop has truly lost his marbles.
I don't get all the adulation for Hill. Barea went by Hill with ease. Sure, Hill caught up at the basket and made a block--but how many times do you think that will happen in a game compared to the times that Barrea waltzes in for a score or dishes off?Quote:

Pop hasn't had enough time to develop this kid and they just weren't gonna hamper the system and put a bunch of regular season games in jeopardy to get George farther along in his development.
But I agree we ain't winning shit the way things are going anyways. Let the kid get some playoff experience.
Hill has been frozen since before the playoffs began, so I don't think it's the playoffs that makes Pop remove him from our rotation. There's definitely something wrong with the relation between those two guys.
fkn give ghill 2mins end of each quarter when parker is out to cool down the barrea shit....
just like what he did to steve nash....
ctl+alt+f4 = shit down thats what ghill does...now execute it pop
George hill is a good back up pg ... its just that pop is to harsh to back up pg's ... just look at beno ... george can be great help to tp ... mason is not a pg ... we have seen him play point guard ... but struggle all the time ... pop should give gh a chance ... he is a tremendous defender ... and also a energy player ... :flag:
But aren't we kind of desperate? Isn't something like playing Bonner night in and night out a desperation move all by itself? Same with using Mason as backup pg? Wasn't everyone questioning the odd experiments Pop was making since the ASG forth?Quote:

If Hill doesn't play tonight Spurs Fans should be very upset...
Can someone PLEASE confiscate Pop's wine before games? And where's the goddamm breathalizer when you need it?
That right there is where Pop would disagree with you. Do you think any person on the spurs staff/team thinks that 1 loss qualifies as "desperation mode?" Of curse they arent in a desperation mode right now, they lost 1 game to a good team. I 100% agree that Pop should give Hill a chance, but theres no way he drastically changes his lineup/oppinion after 1 loss.Quote:
