Soooooo no more Parker in clutch situations?

I guess those last 8 seconds of the Pacers game stuck out in my mind too much. :lol

7-7 FTs, 3 rebs, 2 asst 2stl

FG percentage isn't the be all end all of basketball. George was doing a good job QBing the team.

It actually wasn't the final eight seconds. :) Parker was put back in after the Neal decoy and hit the final two free throws at the end to put the Spurs up by three. Hill played the final seven minutes straight.

Hill has got to learn to help close games by taking care of the ball first and foremost. He turned over the ball in the last couple of minutes in the last game.

Then tonight, he turned it over again in the last couple of minutes when he stepped out of bounce. He's got to clean that shit up because we're going to need him.

As far as Pop taking Tony out-- I think he's still not feeling 100% and Pop just rolled with Hill.

Ducks should be fucking mad at Pop LOL

I disagree, the Offense was stagnant with him, he turned the ball over stupidely, defensively I didn't see something special that would have compensated his poor Offense.

Though I will give Bonner his props for his game today, it just tells me he'll probably suck in his next five. :lol

Please no more ball on Hill's hand at the end of game... PLEASE

We must have been watching a different game. The game I watched had Hill struggling to get the team into its sets and unable to create much of anything on the pick-and-rolls. He was doing a good job on the break and semi-break but couldn't create anything in the halfcourt settings.

Dude is recovering from a stomach bug...do you really want him taking a hit in the chest/ab area by taking a charge? That could be asking for a big mess...

Look, the Spurs are extremely deep. This type of fast start has allowed Pop to do many things that will pay off long term (hopefully). He is able to manipulate things and kind of have in game practices due to the fact the Spurs are off to such a strong start. Because the team is so deep, he can do this without sacrificing wins so far.

He is also only having to play the big 3 a ridiculously low amount. With all of that in mind, Pop will probably do somethings that don't necessarily maximize the point spread. Giving Hill minutes, when struggling, in a close game, is something that will help Hill down the road (again, I hope).

When you can do that and still get the W, you should do it.

Slightly off topic, but Luke Ridnour = Ryan Seacrest with a jumpshot?

A lot of guys werent playing well and Tony wasn't the only one who got out of Love's way on that play. I am prone to believe that Tony's stamina had a lot to do with holding him out. I'm not buying into any change until I see this as a consistent move by pop.

No, you're absolutely right.

I wonder if Pop is just trying to build back Hill's confidence.

Anyway I think this is stupid, TP is really good to have in the fourth. I don't buy the Defensive purpose, Hill is trash against PGs so Manu defends the PG and Hill the SG either way it is not the ideal.

Now if it's the dog house stuff then Pop needs to chill out a little on TP because TP is the only one to receive this kind of treatment.

this.

I think for tonight, Pop probably thought if Tony isn't healthy enough to take charges (+ he wasn't moving very fast/quick) he better go with Hill...

No big deal...

That offense would have seemed a lot less stagnant had any of five or six three pointers dropped in the fourth.
