Happy Trails George Hill

[Cavatt]

I've been super dissapointed in Hill. He was always really aggressive in the past and it seems like he is very passive out there.

I will be interested to see how he runs the bench. It definitely could use some stability.

I wouldn't be surprised if Koby moves Hill tonight if he has a decent offer on the table. Too much favoritism towards Hill over Sexton by Drew. Sexton has out played Hill pretty much the whole season outside of a couple early games. It's one thing to sit Sexton when someone is clearly out playing him in the game, Harrison did it once, to sit him when Hill has 6 point and has been invisible 99% of the game is crazy.

Wow...Drew probably is going to have to explain himself to the front office....Pulling Sexton is one thing but to do it for a player who was already well over his minutes restriction.

Thats just dumb isn't it.
- Sexton was playing better than Hill.
- It would've been a valuable experience for Sexton to finish a close game.
- Hill was over his minute restriction by a fair bit...this is a guy who is valuable trade bait for a rebuilding team that is starving for assets!

Fuck me that is just straight up dumb.

I guess Drew really wanted the win for the Vet's morale? He seems like a coach, who is coaching to make overall w/l his record not look so bad.

Well then his priorities are very wrong for where we are at as an organisation right now.

Our coaching this year from Lue to Drew has been puzzling to say the least. Lue was dumped for not playing the young guys now Drew is doing the same thing.
All the young players should be playing period. Its like they know the team isn't good but they refuse to rebuild by playing the younger players.

If we didn't fire a head coach already this season and we didn't win this game. I bet Drew would have been fired tomorrow morning. Sadly the team is stuck with this staff for the rest of the season. It's now on Koby to just force Drew's hand by making trades, possibly prematurely, for the good of the team.

Sexton did play 32 minutes. It isn’t like he only played 22 or something, so he put in time tonight.
He also had an opportunity to learn by watching Hill play in the fourth. There’s value in that.
Burke have the team a little charge. They lost 4, it’s ok to win one after that losing streak.

I think if Hill actually did something to help win the game, I would agree with you. He was part of two turnovers down the stretch and just dribbled the ball to pass it off to Clarkson to do his thing. Sexton could have easily done the same thing.

He played minutes but not the ones that really counted. They didn’t even have him in the huddle the last 3plays. Cavs have had very few close games this year and just wasted an opportunity to develop a young player wit valuable high pressure basketball. Mind blowing to me...

George hills stats for the entire 4th quarter were 2turnovers and a foul... and Clarkson and hill were both roasted by their guards. what exactly did he learn from that?

Maybe he’s banged up, maybe a he’s fatigued. I don’t know. I do know his line was a bit better tonight than the last couple games.
Maybe they’re managing him and his minutes a bit right now.

George hill was the one over his minutes on his minute restriction... the move to bench Sexton makes zero sense unless Sexton was hurting. But I didn’t see that at all.

?
Hill is the one with a minutes restriction and Drew played him more than 10 minutes over.
Sexton looked confused when he was taken out.

I’m not going to condemn Drew over one decision, esp since Sexton has made progress under him and is playing extensively every game.
Well see How he continues to manage minutes, or hear if he was sore or something.
