Here we are, finding reasons about why Gandalf mentioned Giants in the hobbit. Tolkien wrote the hobbit first, and then linked it to his other first-Age stories, if I recall correctly. I suppose tolkien abandoned the giant idea after he wrote lotr, but forgot to change it in a revised edition. After all, only two sentences mention the giants.
