Hill is a Big reason why Indiana Is advancing . Can some one put up the stats of Hill vs Kawaii 2012 Play offs ? I think Hill is doin a bit Better than kawaii .
Hill is a major reason Indiana is advancing.
Crucial in G2 and G3.
The deal sure turned out well for them.
We'll see what happens against Miami.

Hill helped of course, but he is not a big reason why Indiana is advancing. They still have Granger, Hibbert, Paul George and David West.
They faced Orlando without Howard and without Howard they're the worst team in the playoffs by far. Indy should have swept Orlando.
Call me again after the series against Miami.
Hairston has done very well last year, and he is doing well this year.Malik Hairston
It's unbelievable how many of you all had man-crushes on that scrub. He's not even good enough to make an NBA roster, and you geniuses thought he should have been a starter for the Spurs???!!!
the guy made huge baskets at Pionir vs Partizan, in the 4th, to advance Olimpia to Euroleague top 16.
Anyone that scores those baskets at Pionir has balls, has my respect and can make it in the NBA.
Right now, Malik Hairston is better than Gary Neal was at his age.
Plays for a better team, has a way better contract than Neal had, and, in fact that Neal HAS with the Spurs.
Plus Neal was a head-case and Hairston is not.
If neal turned out well, the only reason hairston should not is that he is probably making too much money to go back.
Did you watch the games?
G2 third quarter, G3 final? He made the difference in my opinion.
Im jus sayin , Hill Back on the Spurs squad would only make the spurs even deeper/better.
Spurs w/ Leonard > Spurs w/ Hill.

I was thinking the same thing the otherday. As much as I believed in the squad we had, there was still no way we were going to win with RJ. Thank god for that trade.how things have changed for the spurs it wasn't long ago that i was wishful thinking they gonna win no. 5 with those guys as supporting crew ...
then ....
neal
green
leonard
jack
diaw
mills
happened....
i thinkis not too far fetch an idea tbh
If we had Hill plus everyone else? Sure. But we certainly don't need Jack playing all game at the 3, and at Danny Green's size, he's a better fit at the 2 than the 3.
Hill is a difference maker for the Pacers, but it's because they needed a lead guard who could not only pass but also shoot and defend. The dropoff for us from Hill to Green isn't nearly as important as having a legit small forward in the lineup.
And longer term, Leonard's ceiling is way higher than Hill's.
Disagree. If Hill was still around, Green would have been stuck on the bench and likely playing for another team right now. Green > Hill. Hill often had mental lapses and was too undersized to defend the taller guards in the league and too limited in his point guard skills to play point guard. Before the Hill lovers attack me, I just want to say I myself am a huge George Hill fan and I'm happy he's figured things out in Indy. I just think his fans overrate him on this board. That being said, I thank him for his contributions here.
And man that 2009-2010 roster was a joke. I remember when we got Jefferson, McDyess, and Blair everyone thought we were the most stacked team in the league. I felt the same way, tbh.
I remember Pop saying he should be fired if they didn't win it all. It took him all season just to figure out a rotation and he really didn't till Parker went down with the injury and he had less choices. I think that team was much better than they showed.

There is a perverse sentiment that exists where it is necessary to diminish the abilities of a player when comparing them to another player that is favored by the individual drawing the comparisons, as if it lent more credibility to their opinion.
But if you really think about it, by devaluing the compe ion, then the achievement of the other player being better... also loses its grandeur.
I saw Hill as a Solid role player. Not 'good', but above average overall. Just not what we needed.
I've watch the Pacers last 30 games or so. I saw most of them on TV, but went to last couple. Hill plays well for Indiana. He does things in a "timely" manner so to speak. His points or ball distribution, steals, etc. comes at the best point in time for the Pacers.
On the Spurs he learned how to play ball the right way and now the Pacers have an asset. The Spurs have an asset with Kawhi. It's a win-win situation for the both of them. As an added plus, he came from the inner city here, so his "NBA Cares" stuff goes over well with the youngstas and they like him!
In closing, I won 50 bucks from a casual Pacers fan who didn't know much about him from his time in the pros so I bet him that he'd come up big in the playoffs an won while we were watching games 2 and 3! Everytime George came up clutch I'd say, "See, thats the Spurs Way!!!"
well you guys make good points but bottom line is the spurs wont have a LEGITIMATE and REALISTIC chance of winning the championship with....
RJ,Hill,RMJ,BOGANS,HAIRSTON,UDOKA,QUINN,NOVAK
as the supporting cast thats just how it is Hill may have been a good player for the spurs but they aren't winning the le with him as a major part of the rotation ...
Hairston is a fringe NBA player, his ceiling is probably a decent energy guy off the bench. He gave good effort but you could tell he just wasnt that good. I used to get out a kick out of people here crucifying Pop for not playing guys like him and Mahinmi to a lesser extent.Malik Hairston

Really, what kind of problems did he have overseas? Gary seems real laid back tbh.
so what was hills stats compared to rjs for the memphis series last season....

This was 2010.
People improve, sometimes.
Right now Hairston is vastly improved.
He was the major reason why Siena went to the Euroleague final four last year.
He is making crucial contributions to a decent team.
In fact, he has a good contract.
Danny Green, to name one, was a fringe player in a bad Euroleague team, just six months ago.
The Spurs system is such that evn a Green can make a contribution.
Really, what kind of problems did he have overseas? Gary seems real laid back tbh.
Told the GM he had a knee problem and would not come to practice on a Friday, before an important game.
Went partying to Milano (200 miles), instead.
Lost the car keys.
Called the GM in the middle of the night telling him he was in Milano and had no idea how to get back to Treviso.
Lost his job the following day.
