No More Threes For Hill!!!!!!!!!

D'Antoni will shrug this off but im telling you 10-15% WON'T CUT IT. the fans will be all over this ****.

 

[Cheesebeef]

great move by Amare for the jam - and good lord - can we please get him the ball at the end of games instead of settling for off balance Nash threes and Hill corner prayers?

But, that being said, it looks like a W and a road W at that so I'm happy.

I REALLY love seeing the beast that is Amare Stoudemire. The only person that can stop him is... our coach.

 

[mjb21aztd]

good to see banks hit those big 3's also that got us going hopefully he keeps it up

 

[Griffin]

We played very poorly most of the game. Lots of uncharacteristic turnovers, especially from Nash. But Banks got hot, and we played well in the 4th. Hill needs to realize that just because he is open beyond the 3-point line, doesn't mean he has to shoot it.

 

[dodie53]

are we leading by 10 with 1minute to go?

 

[Lefty]

Nice to get a win in the first game. Banks looks like he will contribute more than last year.

 

[Cheesebeef]

i mean, Grant Hill should NEVER be be shooting 7 threes in a game.

in DA's system, he does. That's the problem.

 

[Cheesebeef]

i'll take the W! wasn't pretty, but on opening night it doesn't have to be.

 

[dodie53]

is grant hill going to be scolded by DA by not taking 3s?

 

[MigratingOsprey]

good game - supes once again just don't have enough - going to be tough getting used to seeing wilkins shooting late shots instead of ray allen.................

anyhow, the rebuild is on and i'm excited

should be another good season for the suns as well

I think DA brainwashed him to take 3's.

That was one ugly win, but it's better than a loss.
Hopefully they will find their game soon.

 

[dodie53]

why did ridnour played only 7:30 minutes?

 

[Linderbee]

Well, I watched most of the 2nd half...happy for the win, but it was a bit ugly.

 

[krispydude]

why did ridnour played only 7:30 minutes?

broken nose i think? he had on a mask.

 

[nashman]

we played sloppy and still won not too shabby.

 

[ShuHanGuanYu]

I agree 7 is too many for Grant...but he shot over 40% in the preseason, so I don't blame him for trying his hand at the threes when it counts. He's smart enough to adjust when needed. Plus, it was one game. If he'd hit 3 of his 7 attempts people would be drooling over him. Bell only hit 2 of 7, should he not shoot threes either?

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

glad to get a really ugly win.


my biggest fear of the grant hill era has shown it's first glimpses . . . the stubborn fool dantoni seemingly hasn't tweaked his offense to take into consideration hill's best attributes, and instead just plunks him into a corner and encourages him to shoot threes. ugh.
