Loving the fact that Hill's long arms make him a steal threat!
And all of it with Duncan logging only 27 minutes. Nice. I don't like the heavy minutes on him.

PREGAME
Spurs starters: Roger Mason Jr., Michael Finley, Bruce Bowen, Tim Duncan and Fabricio Oberto. George Hill and Jacque Vaughn, who have seen most of the playing time at point guard with Tony Parker out, both begin the game on the bench.
Utah's Carlos Boozer and Deron Williams, both normal starters, are out.

Hill was electric when he pushed the ball. I just want to see him get his jumper going. I think he is a good shooter. He just has to get it going.
Mason was great. Bonner had a good game too.
yeah she's got a point, remember when vujacic drained that 3 when they had already beaten us. i know i was pretty pissed about that
How about that blowout game huh?
Once Manu and TP come back, we are one functional big away from being a contender again... let's pray that Mahinmi is ready.
Here's to George Hill and Roger Mason, and to Bonner who looks a lot better lately... and even grudgingly to Finley, who I still think is a waste of a roster spot, but has been playing well for the last 5 games or so.
TP Hill
Mason Manu
Bowen Udoka
Duncan Bonner
Oberto Mahinmi
That could turn into a fearsome lineup.
add in teh first two games of the year where he was damn good and lets see,and even grudgingly to Finley, who I still think is a waste of a roster spot, but has been playing well for the last 5 games or so.
7 out of 12 games good.
I'll take it.
Excellent outings from everyone. Loved that game![]()
Anybody know why Williams and Boozer didn't suit up?
They're both injured I think... Korver too.
Both injured. Williams ankle and Boozer quad strain.
