Summer League Game Blog: Spurs vs. Hornets - 7/12/09 3PM CT

[BlackBellamy]

Blair looks great, Hill looks like he's developing as he should. Gist and Ian looked like steamrolled for the most part. Spurs Win though, right?

[tomtom]

Hill's release looks much smoother, gj Chip

[slick'81]

well on to the next one from what ive seen and heard hill and blair brought it

[Darkwaters]

Now that Hairston is showing a consistant outside shot he has a chance of being a pretty damn good nba player

yea he does. It's like he stole McClinton's mojo for shooting all of a sudden...cause McClinton can't do anything tonight and since halftime Hairston has looked great.

Good win!!

[Ace9]

Gist looked like crap. Ian had some flashes. Don't give up on the big man just yet. If he reaches his potential.......watch out.

[Darkwaters]

Timvp,

We going to get some GameThoughts tonight?

[phyzik]

Hill started playing much better as the game went on. Probably just needed to shake off the cobwebs.

[Darkwaters]

Gist looked like crap. Ian had some flashes. Don't give up on the big man just yet. If he reaches his potential.......watch out.

Flashes? Where?

Ian Mahinmi looked like crap.

[timvp]

Can't complain about Blair getting 13 and 10 in 22 minutes in his first game.

[kbrury]

Hill has played well but I think Collison is better.

yeah all Hill did was be the MVP of the game.

[SonOfAGun]

Hill, Blair, Hairston

FTMFW.

[angelbelow]

great game!

[Interrohater]

Yea, big showing from Hill, Hairston and Blair.
We knew what we could get from Hill and Hairston, but damn, Blair is such a massive pickup for the Spurs... wow...

[Spurs Brazil]

Hill and Blair were great

Hairston and Beck good

Jack and Gist bad

Ian dissapointed game. He must be more agressive

[Ace9]

Mahinmi had some decent D, and did well with the screens sort of. He got a lot of fouls and knocked down some clutch FT's. Not really much on the offensive side though.

[timvp]

Timvp,

We going to get some GameThoughts tonight?

Yeah I'll come up with something

[Obstructed_View]

George has definitely been playing with Tony. "Oh, we're down late in the game, ok, I'll slow it down and score myself"

Since that's exactly the way the Spurs are accustomed to playing, it's exactly the way Hill should run the team. He's capable of scoring and breaking down the defense, and the other players know where to be when that happens, no matter who has the ball.

Mahinmi with the lane violation.

They were both in early, but Gist waved his arms as he was falling into the lane. There's no way the officials weren't going to see him do that.

Now that Hairston is showing a consistant outside shot he has a chance of being a pretty damn good nba player

Hairston's percentage when the clock is winding down are through the roof.

[Chomag]

well on to the next one from what ive seen and heard hill and blair brought it

and Hairston!

GHill Interview.

[Obstructed_View]

At some point the other guys are going to have to work to get Ian the ball. He did a great job on pick and rolls and was wide open a lot.

[ducks]

blair is going to kick ass

[galvatron3000]

Give Ian atleast 2 more games under his belt then start the critique

[Mugen]

i loved how george played today.

he was aggressive and looked to score and drive.

he had trouble last year when he was passive and deferred to much.

also, Dejuan Blair is going to beast this league kids. BEAST.
