George Hill sucks!!! :pctoss

[I. Hustle]

LOL I felt bad for Hill. The dude was screwing up the whole game, not just the last few minutes. It seemed like every time he touched the ball he was looking for George.

[Spur-Addict]

Yeah, their backcourt as a whole was pretty bad. D.J came off and played decent, but Hill and Lance were on another planet. Your backcourt has to be solid at least in this stage of the season. Hill was unable to relieve any of the pressure they were putting on him and the Pacer offense for most of the game. You could see Hill was trying not to loose the game, and Lance was trying to do too much when he had his moments. Give credit to Cole and Chalmers, they had Hill's number. It's was tough to watch because they had control of most of the game despite the terrible backcourt play. SMH.

They'll look back and know they should've won this game. Indiana might want to consider entering the market for a vet third PG this offseason. Terrible

[ploto]

Let's see. He's in his first full year as a starting PG in the NBA playing in the conference finals against the Heat while recovering from a concussion. I seem to recall a certain Spurs PG having to be bailed out in the play-offs in his early years as a starting PG.

As for the trade, it is a rare one where it worked out well for both sides. The Pacers did not really trade Leonard for Hill. They traded the pick for a PG they needed. Spurs picked Leonard.

[ducks]

hill plays much better at home then road

[ducks]

it is amazing how much bashing tp gets here
gets 18 assist people bash him and said he should have had 25

[hommeaetage]

I remember the days where people were saying it was time to trade Parker because George Hill could take over the PG spot

[boutons_deux]

Vogel was asked about his decision as soon as his postgame press conference began, and said that the lineup the Heat had on the floor dictated his response.

“That’s the dilemma they present when they have Chris Bosh at the five spot and his ability to space the floor,” Vogel said. “We put a switching lineup in with the intent to switch, keep everything in front of us and try to go into or force a challenged jumpshot. We pushed up a little bit too much, LeBron was able to beat us off the bounce.”

It’s true that George was out of position defensively, and that was the reason James was able to have such a wide open lane to the basket. But with Hibbert there, it’s possible James might have had his shot altered (or, at the very least, contested), and he may have even been forced to get the ball to someone else.

Vogel explained in further detail what he was trying to accomplish.

“They’re hurting us on the small pick‑and‑rolls where we’re trying to blitz and get back,” he said. “So you have a couple of alternatives. The intent is to try to switch and just, you know, hope that a point guard can keep him in front of us, and both situations we just pushed up on him a little bit too much, and he was able to beat us off the bounce.”

But still — why no Hibbert?

“We expected [Chris Bosh] to be a spacing option,” Vogel said. “If Roy were in the game, he probably would have been first or second option, if it didn’t come to LeBron, if LeBron could one‑bounce, draw Roy to the rim and have Bosh spot it up.

“So it’s the dilemma that they present. Obviously, with the way it worked out, you know, it would have been better to have Roy in the game. But you don’t know. If that happens, maybe Bosh is making the jumpshot, and we’re all talking about that.”

He's a backup PG being forced into a starting role. Hie ball handling is really poor for a PG. He hurts his team with TO's and bad decisions more than he helps tbh.

[davidbowie]

Remember when George used to invite his twitter followers to hang out and go to the bowling alley with him lol

he used to throw those all ages parties too

[emanueldavidginobili]

Hill looked like Neal last night when getting pressured tbh. Cole is a very tenacious defender though, id take him on the Spurs in a heartbeat.

[Silent]

LMAO at the thread. Hill finishes 18pts and hits clutch shots to seal the game.

[bklynspursfan]

^4 clutch free throws after missing his previous 3.

[TheGoldStandard]

He's not hitting FTs without David West and Hill almost cost the game twice with over dribbling

[davidbowie]

Way to go George!!!! Huge free throws!!!

[davidbowie]

George got that last steal too. Well the tipped ball. Still...

[DMC]

Far too mentally weak to ever reach his full potential or stay consistent, so glad we got rid of him. He just gave it to Wade on an inbounds pass, luckily Wade fell out of bounds.

You mean he's reached his potential. To say he cannot is self defeating.

[L.I.T]

Obviously didn't watch the end of the game. Hill had an absolutely horrible possession coming off that West steal with 30 seconds left. Yeah, he hit his free throws, which game them a solid cushion, but between him and Lance Stephenson's bone head decisions game could have been iced much earlier.

Lance Stephenson is Gary Neal but with better defense.

[hater]

lebronzes unclutchness overshadowed hills imo

[mercos]

Hill is just not a point guard. He's not a great passer, and is a terrible ball handler. He is actually pretty good as a shooting guard, but is undersized.

With the Pacers, the offense is coming from wings and low-post, so he can occupy 1 and guard other PGs which he is very good at. While the Spurs has Tony at 1, and George has to be SG and guard other teams' SGs which is a big burden for him.

So that trade is a huge win-win for both teams, and I wish we can see the Finals match-up with them. These are two teams that are really playing the right way.

[mystargtr34]

George ened up playing a pretty good game.. good to see. He still looks shaky as with the ball in hands especially when the pressure is on.

[Legacy]

Why are you so mad at Georgey when he's not even on our team anymore, like you said? Everything worked out beautifully for both sides, we all know this already. Unless... Unless... *gasp* You're rooting for The Pacers?!?! But of course. ... Don't worry, hater, maybe he'll play better for you next time around.

Improved play by Georgey tonight? ... Yes? No?

[Stabula]

George Hill sucks for a starter. Serviceable coming off the bench but nothing more. If this Pacers team had a legit PG starting they'd really be a consistent contender.

[pgardn]

glad we got rid of that scrub

can't dribble the ball

getting Kawhi for Hill

I would love him off the bench for Green. Hill is not a point so his lack of ability to dribble makes Danny Green look like a spastic. Miami will expose teams that can't handle the ball more than any other.
