Hill blew it when he missed that FT, like Korver did the year before when he missed the corner three.
These guys just didn’t get it done when they needed it.
Both of those guys played a big part in just making it to the finals last year.Hill blew it when he missed that FT, like Korver did the year before when he missed the corner three.

It's hard for me to sit back and watch bad takes. Some of what I'll read should be obvious if you are paying attention.
-Hill is a nine year vet who has mostly played third guard for great teams or starter for mediocre teams. His standing reach at the point guard position makes him ideal for a switching scheme. His hoops IQ is impressive, allowing him to play either back court position. He was such an asset in his prime S.A. flipped him for Kawhi.
- He does have his faults. He isn't reliable for 82 games. He goes through shooting slumps. He is, however, a lot better than what many fans remember from the NBA Finals. G.S. were above his punching weight as a player. That doesn't mean he wouldn't be a legit starter on most other NBA teams.
- There is no beef with Lue and Sexton. Lue's family and Sexton's family go back years. Lue is a much better development coach than he gets credit for because he knows playing time is the carrot on a stick for young players to improve weaknesses. Some fans don't get that and have mistaken themselves for basketball or educational experts. There's a plan for Sexton, who is both age 19 and never played with quality teammates regularly. Let the plan play out.

Hill was a guy I never wanted playing against my team. Don't know what happened to him, but like a lot of guys he could not get a wide open 3 once he got to Cleveland after leading the league in 3pt percentage.
Can we rename the thread to George Over the Hill?
Also, I'd do this.

Of course you would, so would I.
That trade isn't going to happen, though. The Spurs are the best ran franchise in the league. They have a lot of faith in Walker and won't trade him for a rental of Hill's corpse. The Spurs are only getting older and are a borderline playoff team already, they're not jeopardizing their future for a washed up guard.
