hill definitely played a great ball game- all around
didnt see much out of bogans tonight IMO.
The difference tonight, IMHO.
Obviously TD dominated, and Matt was great off the bench. But when we needed to buckle up and play some serious D, I thought those two were incredibly solid.

boooggiiieee man!!!!!!!!!!!! Is coming for ya!!!!!!
Bogans was DEFINITELY a difference maker tonight. He made great defensive plays and a few strong moves on offense. I loved what we got out of him tonight.
He had two steals to start the second half that I thought set the tone defensively after a terrible 2nd quarter.
Offensively, I'll take anything he can give us, but that's not why he's out there.
I hope Pop plays Bogans more, i believe he can be the cooler the Spurs lost in Bruce.
yeah after seeing his box score seemed like he had more solid game than i thought.
The 4pt. play was kind of cool, too.
At least Mason is starting to play more active and confident. Not everyone on the team is going to be great defensively, but the Spurs need Mason's offense. As long as everyone is active and giving effort on the defensive end, I am happy.
exactly its nice to see him flying around out there on the defencive end diving for that steal was nice to see and him putting the ball on the floor
I don't really care about his defense, like you said, not everyone will be great defensively..I'd be happy with last year's Mason..will we continue to get that though?..if we do, our 1-3 is sexy as ..
I want George Hill to make sex to me.
GHILL3 put jenny in her seat tonight
Gotta come up w/a nickname for the defensive duo.
Boogey and Arms?
They were all solid on D, even Finley and Bonner for a change.
Hill +4
Duncan +12
Finley +16
Bogans +18
Bonner +26
Honestly, that may be the best point-guard play George has ever bestowed upon us; the guy's ceiling is just ridiculous.
Bogans and Hill on the perimeter is really starting to make me believe another defensive wing would be a luxury and not a necessity. Their size isn't all that ideal but Jefferson can at least be decent against the bigger, stronger wings and Hill and Bogans can really keep people out of the middle of the floor with their quickness and tenacity; and yeah, Bogans needs to continue to start. (I'd like to see them stick with tonight's starting-five, actually)
I knew Bogans was a good defender, but I underrated his quickness. He's just a great fit in this system. Even his perceived shortcomings on offense fit well. He's not the greatest play-maker or ball-handler but this offense allows him seams and openings off of defensive rotations that he's able to capitalize on; he's given the Bowen treatment offensively but he's more than capable of making a play with the defense on their heels. Hopefully that three-point stroke continues to improve..
Got damn, I love me some perimeter defense.
Still too early. Manu will change the equation decidedly again. Late in the season, nearly anything could have happened.
You need to get away from plus-minus. I mean, whoever played with RJ out there tonight had his plus/minus go down (TD should have had a +88 tonight).They were all solid on D, even Finley and Bonner for a change.
Hill +4
Duncan +12
Finley +16
Bogans +18
Bonner +26
Hill contested shots left and right, and that will probably not show on the stat sheet either.
Too early for what?
Manu's not starting and him being healthy or not doesn't change how promising the play of Hill and Bogans has been..
Bogans...I think he might have found a home. And with Hill getting better with each game he plays....The Youth Movement is On. A healthy Ginobili back in the lineup and the Spurs are gong to be sick.
Side note: Bucks shoot a tad over 49% but could have been higher if not for the great D. Bucks have some talent on that team.
Impressive win for the Spurs.
Too early for me to make a judgment. Hill and Bogans have played good, even great, thus far - and I hope it continues. I'm just not sure what's going to happen when Manu gets back.Too early for what?
Maybe that's where we differ:
I think Manu's health, or lack thereof, has quantifiable effects on Hill and Bogans.Manu's not starting and him being healthy or not doesn't change how promising the play of Hill and Bogans has been..

RJ's really got some bad habits he's picked up defensively over the last few years; a couple of those Delfino close-outs..
Definitely agree. However, I see Manu bumping Mason's minutes down more than Bogan's. Maybe Fin too. I have no idea how that will all play out, to be honest. It's refreshing to have this kind of problem though, with too much talent at the positions.
