I think Jefferson got a hold of him...
What happened with this kid. He's been awful since the All Star Game
Can we have any hope to see a decent playoffs for him. It looks like he's getting worst game after game.
Where's that Hill that played with great energy in the beginning of the season???
I think Jefferson got a hold of him...
His road struggles have gotten progressively worse.
Right now, he scores 3 PPG less, shoots 5% worse from the field and 11% worse from the arc on the road compared to home games.
George Hill and Richard Jefferson are suppose to carry the offensive load when one of the Big 3 is off. They did their job in the first half of the season. Now, they love to "coast." I don't know what's up with Hill. At this point, Neal is a better player and is more trustworthy than him.
In tonight's game at times he looked scared and other times he looked like he didn't care. Wade whooped him, not that I expect Hill to shut him down, but in effort areas like rebounding and loose balls Wade got the better of him (and nearly everyone else).
I'm worried about the team if Hill is going to play like this in the playoffs. The margin of error is really small and all players are going to have to play well and with focus.
He played 30 minutes tonight and was the team worst -30
if we didn't play him, we could have tied the game with Miami.
it's pretty simple - if Bonner doesn't get significant minutes, he's not able to spread the floor so Tony, Manu, Neal and Hill can get easier access to the rim or better shots.
Completely agree. Those guys have become unballers lately. Me oh my how Jefferson has become a non-factor.
Maybe Hill has Peaked, I think Pop needs to send him a message by bringing Neal as our 6th man to spell Manu then Hill for Parker, maybe this will get him to bring it consistently.
I think his confidence has been down because of Neal getting all the burn, the points and the praise.
Does George have a new girlfriend or something? Seems like his legs are weak. He must be losing "man juice" pretty often.
Get your head on straight George and abstain until you get that ring young blood. You're better than this.
i'm more worried about bonner's impact come playoff time.
His in-between game has regressed significantly. Along with his atrocious pick and roll game that Pop still calls for much more often than 4 down. To be honest, Pop goes to Hill in the pick and roll as the team's 3rd option more games than not. Why? I don't ing know.
If this is case, and right now it sure seems so, Hill is not the player I thought he was evolving into.
I don't know what's more frustrating to watch..
Hill's pick and roll game or Manu/Neal's ill advised contested 3's early in the shot clock.
Neal's piss-poor shot selection (early in the shot clock) led to Miami opening up the flood gates tonight, by grabbing Neal's long rebounds and shoving the ball down our throat for a quick and easy 2. I literally lost count to how many times that happened.

Hill is soft. He is easily pushed around on defense and is passive on offense. I thought by now this guy would be a huge part of the Spurs line up. I think I rather see Neal/Anderson than having to watch Hill clank another corner threes or pulling up lame on defense.
Neal with it...
Sorry had to..
If anyone's seen Hill's balls, please return them immediately....
Popovich just doesn't know how to develop young guys. It's pretty glaringly clear that Tony Parker was the exception, not the rule.
Blame Pop for Hill being trash.

Two bad games a week+ apart and we're back to ing "fire Pop."
Guess that winning record against the whole league (including most contenders) is accidental. And I guess Hill, Blair, and Neal are useless, under-developed pap-smears that failed to blossom under Pop's tutelage. And I guess we've never been blown out close to the POs in a championship year.

...dude.. appreciate this guy. Without him, teams would be killing us by 7-12 points on a regular basis...
It's not 2 bad games, it's 5 bad games in a row.
- Lost to LA by 16 in a laugher after trailing by 30+ at one point
- Beat Detroit by 7 at home despite shooting 64% on FGs (20 o-boards for DET)
- Beat Sacramento by 5 at home (were tied with 4:30 to go in the game)
- Beat Houston without Scola by 8 (were tied with 1:20 to go in the game)
- Lost to Miami by 30 in a blowout
Be honest: do you think the Spurs played like contenders in any of those 5 games?
