hahahaha
i just said earlier in teh game blog how my giddiness for the playoffs dropped 45% seeing Hill limp off the court
amazing
yeah i hope fisher gets AIDSI'm sick of ing camermen, airplanes that just sit on the runway all night and Derek ing Fisher.
He's fine. Fricken' Drama Queens.
It's at the 6:41 mark of the 1st quarter.
I can tell you that looking at it, he did tweak it but it didn't twist, it just slightly buckled and he was able to walk off on his own power. In what Pop concedes as a meaningless game, he did the right thing...he sent George to the back to get treated and will now have almost 2.5 days to heal it completely.
He'll be back for game 1...BOOK IT!
But it looked like Hill barely twisted it when he stepped on Fisher. This little fella may be a china doll.
Hope you're right, my friend
No Russ my bro,
On that particular play, he slipped off of Fish's foot and twisted from the forefoot back to the ankle. That kind of twisted ankle poses more of an issue than your standard variety roll.
The other concern is this. Will we be getting a 90-100% george hill in game 1, or a 60-70% Hill? Defeats the purpose if one of our top players is limping around...
He won't be limping from anything other than a tight ankle-tape job to serve and protect that ankle. We're getting an A-Grade George Hill for Round 1 and beyond.
Hopefully the cameraman is ritually sacrificed
+ 1 to the "and beyond."
I think Pop just pulled him as a precaution...if you can believe such an ironic notion.
I'm Popavich. Game 1 in LA and I'm up by 12 points on the Lakers and Kobe has done jack all game with Bowen on him. Oh! Bowen with 5 fouls. 10 minutes left in the game. I'll sit Bowen.
Oh wow, we lost the game. I guess from here on out I will continue to baffle the logical mind with my coaching decisions.
Hill was playing? Only thought is to get in game shape, but if the ankles still hobbled that was unneccesary
Sure he'll be back, but playing in a diminished state. The Spurs could use his defense against Terry, Barea, Beaubois (if he plays). How can he effectively guard them with limited lateral quickness? The Spurs also need his speed, scoring and ball handling. All of that will be limited, most likely. In a series that figures to be close, having your fourth best player limited could easily be the difference.
Any news on GH ankle?
Lotta internet doctors in this thread performing diagnoses over a television feed.
It's a good thing they're MDs (medical bags?) or I'd be worried.
Mavs post-game announcers indicated they saw Hill "limp out" the Spurs locker room.
CIA Hill?
Hill should not have been on the court at all.
All-time idiotic move by Pop. Even if he doesn't tweak the ankle in this game, does Pop expect his ankle to be better after playing on it, or after resting it for an additional 5 days before game 1? I mean, he rested Duncan and Manu, and neither of them are even hurt.
This guy Popovich defies reality.

Very classy comment.
