    He's now one of only 4 players who have ever hit 10 consecutive shots in a playoff game.

    That won't happen again.

    Doesn't matter if the rest of their team shoots that well. Hopefully they cool off, and hopefully we step up.

    Maybe it's just me, but I'm not much in the mood for 'silver lining' posts tonight ...

    G'nite all.

    You can hope they "cool off" or you can get a hand in their faces. Most of Hills shots were wide open.

    This team was so worried about Amare they let JRich and Hill take any shot they wanted. It was a terrible game plan.

    anybody think there's a chance we could get Hill for next year? We could use his vet saavy and scoring off the bench perhaps, and his passing would be nice to facilitate the second unit.

    Let's say hypothetically...

    Some combination of Pryz/Rudy/Bayless for a backup PG (Conley, Collison, pick?) and a contract.

    How would you feel about this rotation:

    Miller/*(Collison/Conley/etc)
    Roy/Webster
    Batum/Hill
    Aldridge/Cunningham
    Camby/Oden

    with Howard/Pendergraph/Koponen filling out the roster.

    I know we don't want a team of dinosaurs but I think that'd be a really smart and versatile team.

    You know, didn't Yao join that club against us last year? For a defensive-minded team, we give up a lot of blowouts in the playoffs. :dunno:
