No.
No wonder this dude is such a ladies man
He's been playing well lately, averaging 18 and 5 dimes on 51% over his last 4, and 12ppg on 48% over his last 10, which is more than acceptable.
Once again, like a poker player committed to a pot, we're priced in on him and just have to hope he holds up like a pair of Aces facing a draw heavy board. Patty House is not a in' starter, and the rubes who back him as one need to get that through their thick skulls. Patty is also back to his 1 good game out of every 5 routine. He's just not consistent enough. He's also too short to defend like 99% of the starting PGs in the league. as a backup, but that's it.
I do wish we had another option, of course. A strained ass cheek here or a tummy ache there, and Parker's game falls off a cliff. But we don't, so like last year, I'm willing to gamble. If he can give us that consistent 12-13ppg on good efficiency, while the rest play up to par, we have a puncher's chance.
Welcome to MidnightPulp's fantasy night:
What's the other option?
Patty House as a starter?
This guy still betting on porker?
One of the best threads in some time tbh...
Mids right about Patty though. He's inconsistent and virtually useless if he's not hitting shots. Parkers exactly in that same mold though, don't get me wrong. And I think Patty on his best night >>> Parker on his best night but neither of them should be the starting PG. they aren't even all star level players.
The other option may not work either. But I'd rather go down with that ship, then with one that has Enrique leading the team in FGAs/usage. I've seen that movie enough times to know it's not going to end well. Even moreso now that it's 2017.
The team tried to bet on Patty House last season against OKC.
This happened:
You idiots think I'm supporting Parker out of some fanboyism. Nope. I was the ORIGINAL Parker detractor. But unfortunately, we have no other choice because the FO didn't/couldn't sign a legit PG who could possibly challenge Parker for the starting position. Get it through your head(s) that Patty House is a 5'9" shooting guard who isn't a realistic solution to some of the problems Parker presents. I like him as a player, and he's perfect in his microwave role, but he isn't a PG.
Paddy plays his complimentary role better and that's what matters because our best bet is a Kawhi/LMA centric offense.
Porker can't play well and still allow the offense to be centered around Kawhi/LMA. His ego doesn't allow it. He plays well and he's going to rack up shots and try to be a closer. That's just who he is. I'm not looking to go back down that road again, tbh.
Spurs would be foolish to pay anything above 10 millions for Mills..It isn't exactly like he is 22..Perfect teammate and plays hard, but we need better long-term solution at Point..I really think Parker could be a good bench guy maximizing his touch against 2nd units...
He's nothing like last year. He's been amazing in 2014 and 2015 and played with fathead, manu, diaw, and dwest.
Are you gonna be here every ing time I bump this ty thread?
Excessive use of periods. You said nothing got.
10 million is the number I'd offer Patty. If he wants more, I might stretch it out a little bit, but if he says "no," then it's "see you later."

I don't care who starts the games.
But I just want that Kawhi -not this Kawhi of tonight game, the real one- and LMA gets more touches and shots than Parker.
If that means they need to play along with Mills because Parker has taken more shots than them in the last 5 games, then Mills is the answer.
All opposing teams would do is swarm that scheme into turnovers and bad shots. LMA and Kawhi are poor-to-average playmakers and passers from double teams, so totally removing Parker from the SL also removes 80% of their playmaking. Yeah, Parker has tunnel vision and isn't Magic Johnson, but compared to the playmaking abilities of LMA, Kawhi, and D-League, he might as well be. And Parker, even at his age and miles, is still the best penetrator on the team, which isn't saying much, since this team doesn't really have any speed aside from Simmons, but it is what it is.
I would totally be on board with Patty starting if we had a playmaking/penetrating SG in the SL, but we don't. This is another reason why Manu playing well is so important. He solves a lot problems when he's not in "Manure" mode.

Turd Option.
I can't believe you're still not in' humbled. Patty got his "shot" against OKC last season.
And what did he do? Missed a wide open game winner and just generally stunk the joint up.
This is how it goes with "microwave" players. They have terrible consistency. Look at Lou Williams (on fire in November and some of December, now coming back down to Earth), Jamal Crawford, Jarrett Jack, etc.
Talk about humbled when Parker has been a ING CANCER the last 3 playoff years. Even when we won with him.
And you still betting on a 4 game sample size. Well ing be humbled already.
Thinking this Patty is like last years patty.
WAY BETTER than porker.
That's a decent enough reason to play Mills more. Parker cannot be taking more shots than Kawhi and LA against any decent team.
