Cleveland Cavaliers v Boston Celtics - Game Two
#3 George Hill

Stat line: 7 points, 2 assists, 1 rebound, 1 block, 2 turnovers, -21, 1-5 FG's

Probably the worst player by value on this current Cavaliers team (he earns $20 million this year and $37 million over the next couple).

Surprisingly for a veteran like him, his play has been day and night on the road and at home in this series. At home, he's averaging 13.0 points in 2 games on 10 shots but on the road while averaging 5.0 points in 3 games on 6.5 shots. The difference is quite obvious.

In terms of pure impact on both ends of the floor, he's arguably the team's second-best player but he just hasn't shown up. At halftime, he had just three points and that just can't happen. For the team's success, he's got to be more active. They can't afford to have him so passive, attempting just 5 shots and then turning the ball over twice.
