ESPN.com still reporting Hill as OUT for this game.
Anyone remember in 2005, when TP was playing for the French N, and was benched? they started playing much better
ESPN.com still reporting Hill as OUT for this game.
Tony will be coming off the bench. Pop wanted him to get used to it by starting Temple.
Tim also recently said that him and Tony have agreed to have the offense focused around Manu more.
Of course....it's ESPN.
Looks like its safe to say that it will be either tony or manu... hill will definitely be in the SL and rightfully so... mainly for defensive purposes. whoever starts or comes off the bench tony/manu wont really matter IMO.
I just hope that the Spurs first playoff game is on Sunday so they have as much time to rest as possible. Especially Ginobili, who recently admitted he's been exhausted during this stretch.
KSAT's Greg Simmons said Hill will start against the T-wolves
If I remember correctly I think last year's Game 1 was on a Saturday (I was there, so i think thats right) and Game 1 of the 08' 1st round series started on a Sunday...

RT @JMac_SAEN: Spurs have a new starting PG tonight. It's George Hill, with a surprise return from injury. Pop didn't believe it either.
Of course....it's ESPN.
Great news now the spurs can test the playoff rotation for two games.
Like I've said all along, it doesn't really matter which of the three guards doesn't start. Together, they make up the best back court in the league and none are a liability in any specific area (with this being playoff time and his getting a month off, I expect adequate defense out of Parker) or a non starting caliber player (such as Bogans). Plus, Pop makes his first sub 5-7 minutes in, so whoever doesn't start, it's not like they'll be waiting a significant amount of time. They'll all get plenty of minutes, yet none should have to be overworked generally.
OMG THE SPURS ARE COMPLETE! We can't be stopped now. EVERYONE STAY HEALTHY AND GO!
Just heard from RC that George's injury wasn't too significant, as there wasn't any ligament damage or anything torn (the ankle's sound), but the trauma to the peroneal tendon was basically bruised and it was just a pain threshold issue; RC stated that George is one of the toughest players he's ever been around and that he'd play if capable. He's just too great a compe or to sit because of a little pain.
I'm more concerned about Hill than I was Parker. Sure, there was/is the risk of Parker getting his hand hit, but so long as the bone has healed (and it supposedly has), it's unlikely anything could happen. With a sprained ankle and one Hill as recently as a couple of days ago supposedly couldn't move laterally on, there's a much higher risk for him re-aggravating that injury at a moments notice. Particularly for a perimeter player and one who will often start out on the opposition's top perimeter scorer, there's a lot of lateral movement involved.
That's why it was good to hear there wasn't any ligament damage or that the injury wasn't very serious. He essentially had a bruise that didn't allow him to move laterally because of the pain. Once the pain subsides or becomes tolerable he should, for the most part, be no worse for the wear or any more susceptible to re-injury.
Since you're not a doctor, please leave the medical diagnoses to them. The Spurs, if anything, are OVERLY conservative. If he's back, he's OK.
Who said I wasn't a doctor? And where did I say he wasn't okay? Learn to read. What I said was I'm more concerned about him re-aggravating his injury than I was Parker with his injury.
This is not necessarily true. Some injuries can be played on. I have a feeling that if the playoffs weren't looming, he wouldn't be playing tonight.
what happen to Dice
I bet we are resting him for Dallas.
You were saying...
Hill hurt again. damn maybe out first few games of the playoffs
