So Hill wants to be a starter. At least he can take comfort in the fact that D'Antoni doesn't overplay his starters. They averaged say, only 38 mpg or something? No problem. Hill should be fine. After all, the practices are light right?

InterestingQuote:
Hill will likely replace Raja Bell in the Suns’ starting lineup at shooting guard.
:hungry: :hungry: :hungry:Quote:
Hill, who will turn 35 in October, could start for Phoenix with Steve Nash, Raja Bell, Shawn Marion and Amaré Stoudemire.
KG/Amare combo scares me, not Grant Hill.Quote:

He creates matchup problems for the Spurs the same way Joe Johnson did two years ago.
You don't have to worry about guys like Raja Bell, Shawn Marion or James Jones offensively cuz they're completely dependent on Nash for most of their offense.
So the Spurs put Bowen on Nash. But who's going to cover Hill? Finley? Barry? Horry?
He can easily take those guys off the dribble. Its a matchup nightmare for any team.

It is going to feel so good knocking the Suns out next season again.
Hopefully Horry can knock Amarie into the Sun's Coach this time.
Not without losing a hipQuote:

Plus, whatever the Spurs give up to him, they get right back. Who does he guard if Nash is on Oberto? :lol
Assuming he can stay healthy, he can run the offense when Nash is getting a breather. I predict about 60 games played.Quote:

That is, if Horry doesn't retire.
HA, bullshit!Quote:

Assuming he stays healthy, he's essentially taking James Jones' place in their seven man rotation. That's an upgrade, but he hasn't played in more than 65 games since leaving D-Town. Plus, he's a defensive liability, something a team like San Antonio can exploit. He doesn't get them past the Spurs.
The Suns best shot is hoping the Mavs take out the Spurs on one side of the bracket because they match up better against Dallas.

Hmm... this seems all too familiar a situation to Penny Hardaway. Enjoy the injuries Suns. I'm glad the Magic don't have to deal with that shit anymore.
