    I see everyone is finally catching up to what I've been saying since before the season. They shouldn't have signed miller and hill should play all the backup minutes behind scola and yao. He should get 14 mins behind scola and 16 behind yao. The other 8 can go to miller or hayes, doesn't matter.

    There is also the 48 minutes available on back to back games for the first half of the season at least. It's the chuckwagon to the rescue for on back go backs.

    Read a scouting report, one of his strengths coming out of the 2009 NBA draft was his mid-range jumper....

    All I know is Brad miller was a horrible pickup. His passing skills don't apply to this team.

    Give Hill more playing time.


    Please stop setting Hayes up for an offensive play.....it's comical.

    My take is they think Hill is behind several players at this time.

    So what? He will be ahead of all of them, except Scola and Yao, by playoffs-time.

    I still believe Gary Kubiak 2.0 (rick) will wise up and play Hill. As some others have mentioned, he will make mistakes but the positives will outweigh the negatives. i would rather see Hill miss open shots than to see offensive plays from chuck again. ugh!!

    Is Brooks going to be here for the long haul?

    He's getting paid this offseason and he is expecting a fat pay day that I'm not sure Morey would be willing to fork over.

    anyone remembers the game against the Celtics last year in Boston?
    he was a beast on both ends of the floor and blocked a critical shot by the Celtics in the last minute

    really if Adelman sees the things differently he is .... :mad: :mad:

    Hill was a rookie riding the pine, just like Patterson is riding the pine for the rockets. At some point Hill will get his shot and if he brings the energy Adelman wants then the backup 4 spot is his.

    I think our two biggest problem is what I like to call the tmac effect:

    having one player go in and out of the lineup and have a hard play limit and the lack of D.

    If we are depending on hill to be good we are screwed.

    Agreed. Many NBA starters rode pine in their 1st season.
