From the same article...Popovich said Hill will be part of the primary rotation next season
clap clap clap. Still doesn't address his benching of Hill for the 1st 3 playoff games but it is progress for Poop to admit the benching was a mistake.
Still waiting for a direct quote on that "benching was a mistake" comment by Pop. Or maybe it was just some hometown reporter sucking up to Hill's friends and relatives by writing what he thought Pop said.
Or maybe you could figure out what these stats are and how it impacted Pop's decision.
.415 .414 .373 .385 .417
In case you made it this far...those are Hill's shooting % by month with March/April combined.
Nov .415
Dec ___?
?
Jan .414
Feb .385
Mar-Ap .417 combined
So you leave out Dec in what, some lame attempt to show (spin, fabricate?) Hills shooting %s progressively went down thus Poop had to pull him?
Beyond lame. Because Hills shooting did not progressively go down.
Hill shot .373 in Dec. But he was nearly .500 on treys.
More importantly the Spurs were 11-3 with SuperHill doing 15 mpg in Dec. Of course you leave that out. 
In fact lets look at the Spurs record with Hill in the lineup regularly (at point and/or SG) and after the Poop switch. Shall we?:
Oct 2 games didn't play either one. Spurs 0-2
9-5 Nov at 24 mpg
11-3 Dec at 15 mpg
12-3 Jan at 14 mpg
7-4 Feb at 18 mpg
9-6 March at 18 mpg
March 27th was when Poop truly cut Hills minutes, whether it be point or SG.
0-2 rest of March. 2.5 min per game. (0 and 5 min)
6-2 in April. Altho the only two games Hill got over 10 min (17 and 13), the Spurs won both games.
So really for April it should read
2-0 with Hill (15 mpg)
4-2 without Hill. (3 mpg)
Totals?:
50-21 Hill at approx 18 min per game
5-6 without him
More to the point, where the Spurs were and where they ended up after his *experiment* with Mase at point and benching Hill:
43-20 (even with Manu out) # 2 spot in the West by several games.
From that point on, finished the season 9-8, and went 1-4 in the playoffs. Mase clearly uncomfortable in his point role.
Poop led this team to a 10-12 record in the last 22 games.But you'll have westkoast and W.O.W.s support.
