    Now if Budinger would just pay a little attention to what Hill has learned!

    Me too! In addition, Jordan "the tall dude" Hill is only freaking 23 years old. Absent a trade that makes us absolutely better, we better not trade him. Potentially, in three's years time, we could be looking at a very solid 4/5 NBA player.

    He still has a long way to go, I love how the board goes nutz about a player after one good game, then the next poor game seems to wipe out any positive vibe. Hill is a keeper, he has a lot of talent there is no question about it, just a matter of putting things together. It might take him a season or two but I think it will be worth the wait.

    That's called being a fan.

    If we can't have fun after one of our own has a great game, what's the point?

    GREAT JOB JHILL!!!

    If Chase keep pressing like he is now, he should open a dry cleaners. Where's the relaxed cat we saw last season? The guy who fell in the draft and seemed determined to prove it was a mistake? I'm beginning to wonder if we'll see that player again, at least with the Rockets. Maybe he needs a change of scenery. Heck, he needs something. Right now, his middle name is inconsistent.

    If he put on some weight he could dominate the paint defensively.

    He meant that we should get Randolph and/or Thabeet to bring them in with all the other guys we are developing.

    Jordan sux at jump balls. Send him down to the D-league to practice on them.

    JHill even last season in the games he played for us showed tremendous one-on-one defensive instincts.

    Kings are a good match up for Hill because their bigs are young and inexperienced. There will be teams with bigger and experienced centers whom Hill will have difficulty with. We need one more 6'11 or 7 footer to match up with the elite teams.

    Great plays by Hill. He's gifted with athletism.
    The 2 blocks in the highlight are a bit out of position. He did it with length and quickness which was great. But I'd say he's not an elite rim protector until he learns how to help from weak side and stay in front of the foe like Deke. He's still raw. Sure a long way to go. But he's gifted.

    Budinger and Hill play very well together....I think Rick needs to make sure they are on the court together a lot of the time.

    They both look for each other, and play well off each others game....

    bad coaching on Kings. I'd rather have Landry get the ball in that situation.

    Anwyans, thanks Clutch for posting this.

    The block on Cousins was a bit like the one on Starks by Hakeem, you think he's beaten, but somehow knocks it back. Nice.

    Thanks for the vid, Clutch.

    Listened to the game last night and wished I could've seen those last two blocks.

    And then I wondered, would Clutch have them on the board?
    But, of course!

    Maybe the Knicks will be dumb enough to give us AR for next to nothing as well

    *crosses fingers*
