Hats off to Grant Hill!

[KingSpeed]

Seriously. He did just about everything this series. He took on the defensive assignment of Andre Miller and did a great job. He joined a club of 4 people by making 10 straight shots in a playoff game. And he had this magical line tonight:

3 pts, 12 rebounds (game high), 4 assts, 2 steals, 2 blks, +26 (game high)

The guy was drafted in 1994. He has been through so many surgeries. At one point, he played 47 games in 4 seasons. And two seasons later, he had a 21 game season. He never gave up. He played hard. And tonight, at the age of 37, he EARNED his first trip to the second round.

Congratulations, Grant!

I never thought he'd play that well again.

Too soon. Fuck grant hill and his 97% shooting. Only against the Blazers does this old man defy the odds of time and shoot 10-10 in one stretch of game. Fuck.

This is how people will look at Greg fifteen years from now. lol

Well, he was definitely the difference after Game 1 and totally changed our game plan offensively and what we could/had to do. Andre couldn't get back into the groove at all over the last five games.

Why would he go to the Lakers, after winning 10 rings in Portland?
