D'Antoni: "Grant's decision to play here has a lot to do with our medical staff."

[ShoogarBear]

I think he's problem is that he's stubborn and inflexible. He doesn't seem to understand the concept of a bench and holding guys minutes down in the low to mid thirties during the regular season. Mavs and Suns had the best records but they also played their starters the most during the regular season. I think Duncan led the Spurs at around 35 mpg during the regular season. Spurs understand how to pace themselves.

The 2007 Spurs were the second team in NBA history to win the championship without having a player average over 35 minutes a game.

The 2005 Spurs were the first.

How many championships do you all have?

So long as I can take a liberty and change "Championship" to " le", then...

We are the most popular team in the League, so the le of "Most Fun" is one. We are the media's favorite, so the le of "Most Hyped" is two. We are the most individual award winningest team in the last three years, so the le of "Most Celebrated" is three. We easily had had the most white players last season twixt players and coaches, so the le of "Most Vanilla" os four. And, lastly, but certainly not reality, we are the only team with an owner who flaps his arms like a chicken, so the le of "Best Owner Turned Farm Animal" is five...

So that's five. Suns have five les, Spurs have four.

OH! Wait! The Suns are also the longest tenured sports franchise to never win a Championship, so the le of "NBA's Spinster" is six.

Six les...

I've really stayed out of this conversation because I like Hill a lot - great character guy. But how on earth does a guy with his body breaking down, at the end of his career, choose to play with a highly athletic, uptempo style team? It just makes no sense to me. I wish him the best but can't see this turning out well for the Phoenix fans or the team.

Peoples keep telling me how going to the suns is bad because they are a high tempo team. BUT wouldn't that be better for grant

wouldn't an attack the rim player like grant hill just improve his game with passes b y nash, and the run and gun style of play?


I mean if parker was signed by the spurs don't you think he could up his game by playing next to nash moving from a half court spurs team

[ShoogarBear]

In some ways, the style helps Hill because he won't be expected to play physically. If he had come to the Spurs, Pop would demand he play defense, which potentially could result in greater wear and tear over the season.

Playing D'Antoni ball for not more than 20-25 MPG might work out okay for Grant.

How many games has Grant Hill played in the last 7 seasons? Now they are gonna force his ankles to start running in the suns up tempo style?

eer good luck

WHo knows it might work...maybe...it could happen.

The great thing about this board is the number of orthopedic surgeons we have posting on it, who can bring their medical insight and knowledge to the discussion.

Just a reminder, this was yet another Suns/Grant Hill thread started by a Spur fan. ttt
