Hill, Mason, and Farmer need minutes now to get accustomed and get in the flow. We may not win much at first with them, but the fact is we may not win at all with Finley, Bonner, and Vaughn getting minutes. That's the rub IMO.
that is where you are wrong. I guarantee Hill, Mason, Farmer will get 48 minutes combined next game. you game????

I agree.
we cannot win with Finley, Bonner. Vaughn is ok as a 3rd string PG.
Farmer = young Stephen Jackson. How can you not go with that????
Yeah, just think, at this rate and at this excitement, the ing spurs could be 0 and 82 at the end of the season.
That's hall of fame material.
The Spurs ing suck.. All of them.

If we're going to lose (for now) might as well play the young guns and get them some much needed experience. I liked what I saw from Mason, Farmer and Hill today.
I was impressed w/ what I saw from Hill tonight. And and Mason looks good as well. Despite the record right now, I have high expectations. Hopefully Mahinmi and Tolliver can be good for us too.
props to everyone posting on this page! (Edit: except Sequ)
i think we wouldnt have this conversation if GIST or that ot splitter was on the team... this.
sad thing is popovich is in love with finley and vaughn. he won't care if they are as old as dirt.
I started watching the game tonight and quickly picked up on the blowout about to occur.
Then I saw Hill and Farmer hit some shots and I think the lead was cut to 9? I can't remember.. Then Dallas slammed the door closed.
On the way home, I figured some short bus riding fool would see a ray of ing sunshine but I didn't realize it would be Exstatic.
Let me put it to you this way.. the other teams need to ing burn to the ground and it's the spurs players that need to do it. there is no ray of ing sunshine when you are 0 and 3 and getting assspanked on your home court by a division rival.
So, it's dark... sunshine is gone.
Good night.
Sun will still rise in the morning. That is guaranteed.
HILL MAKES NBA DEBUT WITH SAN ANTONIO SPURS
Former Summit League Player of the Year finishes with eight points
Ed Holdaway, IUPUI Sports Information
SAN ANTONIO - Former IUPUI guard George Hill made his NBA debut on Tuesday night, turning in 11 points in 15 minutes in a 98-81 loss to the Dallas Mavericks inside the AT&T Center. The reigning Summit League Player of the Year also added an assist and a steal and hit 3-of-7 shots from the floor off the bench.
Hill missed the final three games of the preseason and first two games of the regular season, nursing an injured left thumb.
Hill scored his first professional points at the foul line, picking off a Brandon Bass pass and racing the other way in transition. After drawing a foul on perennial All-Star Jason Kidd, Hill calmly swished both free throws. Two possessions later, the 6-foot-2 guard netted his first career field goal with the shot clock winding down.
Hill crossed over a defender just right of the top of the key and worked his way to the paint where he hit a short six-foot floater over the outstretched hand of Dallas center DeSagana Diop. Hill swished a long pull-up jumper on San Antonio's next possession to pull the Spurs within nine with just under nine minutes left.
The Spurs return to action on Wednesday when they travel to Minnesota to take on the Timberwolves for a 7:00 p.m. tipoff.
They could'nt correct the le when the summary was right??? Whatever, hopefully Pop realized Farmer+Mason+Hill equals comeback. Fab actually got under Dirks skin, Bonner did . Matt+Finley+JV=20%<<<<<Farmer+Hill+Mason=45%. Idk about y'all, but if Bonner plays more than anyone not named JV against the Timberwolves, I'll go on a rampage in my dorm... not really, I'd rather put Finley and Bonner in a coma.
believe it or not, in NBA 2K9 the CPU would kick my ass until I bring in Hill, Manu, and Mason
OH !!
Hill, Mason, Manu, anybody, TD
what a in lineup. I am not worried a bit
No love for Tony? Don't let ducks see that.
It felt like Bonner and Finley were 1-20 tonight. Scrubs.
you Pop.
This is the point. Vaughn should always be the 3rd string PG. Hill should have been getting minutes ahead of him and then if he s up you bring in Vaughn. You don't play Vaughn first off the bench. That is crazy. Surely Pop saw last year in the playoffs how useless Vaughn is.
Pop should have put the young guys in the 2nd quarter.
I wonder if he's thinking he can get away with changing as little as possible and just wait for Manu to return in the hopes everything will then get better. I hope that's not the logic.
In regards to playing time, Mason's minutes won't go down. Hill's should go up because he's a hard worker and Pop likes him, I think.
I don't see Farmer getting much of a chance unless we're losing, which if the first three games are a trend, could become more frequent if they don't find ways to score and defend better. Finley, with his new contract, will be the most difficult for Pop to bench, which is weird because he's one of our least effective players.
i hate that we're losing, but it's very encouraging to see that Hill and Mason are doing fine. i've had it with Vaughn playing the back-up. it's time for him to step down.
