George Hill continues to talk about "fake fans," this time to reporter

[Holden_Caulfield]

Bottom line, George Hill needs to stop talking. Really losing respect for him. As long as he plays like today, though, I guess I don't care.

thats how hes losing your respect? lol. wow. ok.

[Josepatches_]

Perhaps someone should tell him that if he could ever consistently manufacture a performance like today - both home and on the road - he'd be less likely to get criticized.

Again, since he's got such sensitive, thin skin, my recommendation for him is to stay off Twitter.

I'm sure he could play better if he'd have a bigger role but right now we have too many weapons.This year we have Neal and Manu is playing more minutes.

The problem isn't Hill.The problem is that his ofensive role is smaller than last year and the team was working so we didn't need more from Hill.


Now when we aren't playing so well he had 3 games of 20+ points in the last 5 if I'm not wrong so he's stepping up.

I fail to see how telling a guy "you are letting everyone down" helps the situation. I wouldn't want to hear nonsense like that either.

Jeff McDonald just tweeted:

Have you tweeted smack talk to George Hill lately? He criticizes "bandwagon people" and "so-called fans" after game.

Also:

George Hill: "I don’t think you should be disrespectful just because we’re losing a basketball game.”

...

Fine, Mr. Hill, if someone's cussing you out, I understand if you don't want them following you. I, however, tweeted to him: "Fans don't know what to say to you, Spurs. You really letting everyone down," and I was blocked. Explain the disrespect there.

Bottom line, George Hill needs to stop talking. Really losing respect for him. As long as he plays like today, though, I guess I don't care.

Disrespect begets disrespect. Don't cry about it. I like the fact that when Hill has something to say, he's going to say it, and if someone puts a finger in his face, he's going to put one in theirs.

[ChuckD]

Just new terminology: fake fan = fairweather fan. They're the ones that panic and criticize when things are getting tough. They are there when things are good, but have no real faith in their team

[ALVAREZ6]

He needs to stop talking and the damn twittering all the time. Dejuan Blair comes off like a childish idiot on twitter most of the time.

Well, of course we don't know them personally (the players), but he likely is. His play on the court also shows signs of stupidity and poor decision making. CROFL today at that stupid ass outlet pass..went right to a PHX player, who the tries to make that pass..

[Mugen]

if he keeps playing aggressively like the way he did today, then he can tweet dumb ass things and take pics all goddamn day....

[DesignatedT]

Dejuan is only 21 years old hating on a 21 year old.

[ShoogarBear]

I disagree. Its a good way to build marketing and develop good PR. Lots of athletes have awesome twitter accounts and do a lot of cool things on them (a LOT raise money for charity).

There's lots of ways to do that. Twitter has no monopoly.

George had a point, but by now he should just get over it.

If he doesn't understand that he's probably only going to get more of it now, he needs to get off.

Again, since he's got such sensitive, thin skin, my recommendation for him is to stay off Twitter.

This.

[zocool16]

thats how hes losing your respect? lol. wow. ok.

Yeah. I don't question his work ethic and I don't know him personally. That he doesn't have the mental toughness to handle a negative comment that isn't disrespecting is just weak.

Sorry but the guy chose to be in touch with the public and it's not going to be all sweet talk. Super weak that he re-tweets stuff like "Oh I got my George Hill cup at McDonald's," but that he blocks someone for merely saying the team is letting the fans down.

[024]

i'm beginning to think hill reads spurstalk.

[ducks]

He's just frustrated. I don't see why you can't understand that. They lost 6 in a row.

He's a early 20s kid who has had a ty 2 weeks.

Maybe you guys should cut him some slack?

he is paid to act like a pro
I hope he gets traded to a team with a lossing record for a better player then him

spurs front office gets hold of what he is doing would not be shocked to see him on another team


if I acted like that to customers of my boss I would get fired

[benefactor]

Again George...it's the internets. Keep things in perspective.

[Cessation]

lol george hill getting butturt over the internets

[Spurminator]

if being pissed at fake fans motivates him to play like tonight, it... Stay on Twitter, George.

[ManuBalboa]

George Hill is the reason the Spurs beat the Mavs last year in the playoffs. I couldn't care less if he is averaging 0 ppg in the reg. season. He proved himself last year.

[GSH]

It may not be smart to call people out on Twitter, but what he said is dead on. He was fearless on the court from the day he show up here, so I guess it shouldn't be surprising that he's fearless off of it, too.

Buncha damn crybabies, getting upset about it. I think some of you have that Fantasy Island image that you're going to run into one of the players in HEB (or on Twitter), impress them with your basketball knowledge and wit, and become close personal friends. Now you're mad at Hill because he's ruined that special feeling. Oh well... maybe you can still become shower-buddies with George Strait or Tommy Lee Jones.

[ffadicted]

george hill blocked me

[NRHector]

someone needs to tweet to Jefferson and Bonner

[NRHector]

Maximum Sports is talking about the Hill's Tweet

[peacemaker885]

George can say or do whatever he wants. For those people who love to dish it but can't take any, GTFO. Its a two way street.

[jimo2305]

lol @ ppl thinking they own Hill.. players have bad games from time to time.. doesn't mean they're supposed to sit down and shut up after being attacked on twitter..

g.hill blocks the negativity and i would too cuz i dont wanna hear that .. it's not like some fan out there's gonna open his eyes to new horizons.. the players themselves know what's going on.. im sure they get veterans and coaches to remind them all about that.. it's not as if we're a team headed for the draft lottery or jostling for the 8th seed.. stop being spoiled and cheer for your damn team

[DeadlyDynasty]

mentally weak

[Capt Bringdown]

Hill's doing a PJ on Spurs fans. Fake fans are a simulator crew. Next he's gonna hang an asterisk on your season tickets.

[ducks]

yes he is mentally week pop has to call him is favorite player
