Grant Hill v2.0

Better than Grant Hill imo. Someone else in this thread compared him to Tracy Mcgrady which I agree with.

hansborough is a liability, he's been on LBJ a few times now, is he guarding him?

 

[007ELmO]

miller to bird!

need to see more of that.

lol birdman never gets a pass, all rebound/dunk/layups

 

[lupi]

if allen finally gets hot this could be bad.

 

[007ELmO]

This pacers team looks horrible, they have no bench, lol

yeah dude is pretty worthless nowadays except for his 3s

 

[lupi]

all that needed was Walton yelling "throw it down big man!"

can't believe how much they have on the court, for like the first time this series and it's the damn 7th game.

Ewww...

George is a better rebounder and defender, an all around player like Hill. George's offensive 'style' might be like tmac.

 

[007ELmO]

the only reason george and hibbert are out is because lebron is out, they think they can sneak the game close. george and hibbert are young! not sure why they're out...down by 10 now. dumb move coach!

 

[lupi]

think vogel was so shocked by bosh getting nothing but net on that three he called a TO.

 

[Miramonti]

This is a fvcking tragic lineup for the pacers. I'd rather see the starters play 48 minutes.

 

[OILFIELDTRASH]

Pacer's Vogel'ed again. George and Hibbert sitting on the bench on a chance to go to the finals. SMH.

 

[Attic]

They don't reign this mess in before half and it's over.

 

[007ELmO]

yeah, even the heat fans here, why does lebron sit - why does paul george/hibbert sit in game 7?

the latter are younger than lebron. I would absolutely kill the coach if he took me out. taking them out caused this. i can only think because vogel is afraid of foul trouble, don't play matchup games because LBJ is out - make LBJ come back in by piercing them!

 

[OILFIELDTRASH]

Great rotations on D for INDY.

 

[007ELmO]

hi my name is ray allen, all i do is shoot open 3s

He's just a symptom of the problems. Too many holes to plug on the ship.

That has been their achilles all season long. They are limited in how many bench minutes they can play and still be effective. At the same time, their lineup doesn't do so well playing fast. If the refs call 50 FTs per game combined that gives their guys enough rest so they aren't hampered so much by the pace Miami plays at.

Vogel should have spent more time during the regular season experimenting with dropping in a bench guy one at a time. Rotating in two or three guys at once has been a liability and he needed to try a plan B. All the stats guys wouldn't stop talking during the regular season at how well the starting five were in +/- and how staggering the dropoff was when they sat.

yeah, even the heat fans here, why does lebron sit - why does paul george/hibbert sit in game 7?

Lebron's excessive minutes were huge in him wearing down in the 2011 playoffs. Lebron has had to carry a heavy load the last two series with Wade struggling. The energy he has to expend is more than usual in that case.

Though if Miami was struggling, Lebron would have been left on on the floor I'm sure.

 

[OILFIELDTRASH]

Mahinmi a waste of space.

 

[HendrixFan]

Mahinmi a waste of space.

We saw plenty of his suckage in Dallas. He shouldn't be a 2nd center though. He should be third in line and not dress most games.

 

[Miramonti]

fkna

 

[Slew Foot]

hope the spurs got their rest in, theyll need it

 

[skim milk]

Looking forward to spurs vs heats
