Patty Mills is awesome

[tlongII]

Best backup PG in the league.

[timtonymanu]

Saw his potential in Portland, but I never thought he would be this productive. 3 goggles, Patty!

[TheGreatYacht]

Best back up PG in the league, tbh

[exstatic]

He's actually not a PG, but thanks.

[100%duncan]

He's a baller tbh. Dude is also very underrated on D too.

[smaka]

That hustle, tbh.

[Richie]

All out hustle and great shooting, hope he stays this summer.

If we can keep him for Neal money ($10m/3yr) I'd be happy.

[Brazil]

Great game for patty

[Capt Bringdown]

Patty's plays like he was destined to wear the Silver and Black. Spurs material all the way.

[ducks]

spurs better pay him

[AFBlue]

If the Heat aren't going to take advantage of the size mismatch, I could see more Patty-Parker combo. They were so quick to recover.

[sexinthatsx]

that defensive hustle passing to Ginobili for the fastbreak while falling down... that's heart right there. I love my Spurs!

[BatManu20]

He's a scrappy SOB. Plays with a ton of heart. Can't ask for more from a guy his size.

[Knoxxx]

Thing with Mills is he moves the ball or he quick releases a shot. That passing group out there with him, Splitter, Diaw, Ginobili,and Leonard freaking destroyed Miami! Somewhere Green mixed in well too.

[Chris]

He's actually not a PG, but thanks.

He's a combo 2 guard, Pop's ultimate wet dream. He is a PG though; a poor man's Chauncey Billups with a lot of respect to Billups

[tlongII]

I loved him in Portland. I have no idea why we dumped him.

[Capt Bringdown]

The opposite of Parker lately...

[mVp]

Indeed he is.

[TheGoldStandard]

Showed up on the road too.. good things happen when bench shows up on the road.

[boutons_deux]

Fearless

[100%duncan]

I loved him in Portland. I have no idea why we dumped him.

Me too.

[myhc]

As JVG was saying, give me Patty fucking Mills any time, any day. He had some huge plays that stemmed the tide. All hustle, all the time. Great game by Patty.

[ffadicted]

Kid's got mad energy... Getting crafty on his ball handling and slashing... 3 point shootin is also becoming creamy.
Mad contribution tbh

[cd021]

That play where he tipped the ball to Ginobili for a transition layup was just beautiful.

[ShoogarBear]

I loved him in Portland. I have no idea why we dumped him.

He has two good knees.

[exstatic]

He brings the ball up, but after that, 99% of the time, Manu runs the offense and Patty moves around and shoots a lot. He's Billups, from 1997-2003, before he really learned from LB how to play the point.

[Janko]

He ll probably go to
the bucks

[hsxvvd]

Aussie.... Aussie.... Aussie!!!

[fresnodog]

He's better on defense than Parker!

[razor247]

He wanted to win tonight from the moment he stepped on the court. You could see it. He fought screens, hands all over the place, and refused to let that ball go.

[Malik Hairston]

He's such a different player than Tony, great change of pace when Pop goes to the bench, it forces the opposing team to guard Mills completely different than the way they had been guarding Parker..

His energy is such a difference-maker, too, especially when the starters are playing sluggish and uninspired ball..

[UZER]

Mills really impressed me when he had that great game at home in the regular season against the thunder when he was playing with fire and was getting in fishers head with his pesky defense. Watching that game I was thinking, this guy is ready to bring it in the PO this year!

[8FOR!3]

He's actually not a PG, but thanks.

Moving the ball around better than Tony Parker tbh.

[jkid12456]

"Patty Mills is garbage."

[lofds]

What I love most about Patty being on the floor more than his offence and hustle is how he gets the ball moving. Against Miami that's so huge since their pick and roll defence slows down the Spurs offence and ball movement so much. Patty and the bench unit pass the ball so beautifully for those open shots.

[~Sweetmelody~]

He has two good knees.

Oh boy that's cold! lol


I love Patty. It seems he is a nice guy and I love that he shares about his culture with his fans!

[21209]

Patty seems to play with more energy when the Spurs are on the road than he does when they're at home.

[jkid12456]

who wouldnt? that miami crowd is overbearing!!

[davidbowie]

he's improved so much plus i just love his enthusiasm. dude is a great cheerleader for us tbh

plus that dive for the ball late in the game to get manu the slam. so good.

[gameFACE]

Hell Yeah! You knew then the Spurs weren't going to let up.

[jkid12456]

if i was buford id pay patty mills 15 mill/3 yr

[jkid12456]

wat do u think buford thinks of patty?

[Mal]

if i was buford id pay patty mills 15 mill/3 yr

Neal money should do it.

[downunder]

When Diaw or Bellinelli find themselves at the top of the key they tend to throw poor passes blocked or intercepted - Pop knows he has to pull them off and sub Mills who is a reliable point guard with a strong pass and a keen defence. All players contributed tonight but especially Kahwi's defence of James.

[jkid12456]

win championship, and patty mills will get a huge contract somewhere, hope he stays with spurs tho. although i think if we win, itll be our last ring in a long time...

[downunder]

No. If Spurs win finals, all team members will back up for another year & so will Pop.

[-21-]

Great game from him tonight.

[jkid12456]

No. If Spurs win finals, all team members will back up for another year & so will Pop.

no i dont think so. we will not repeat next yr....., tim duncan will retire and manu will retire in a couple. i think we reached full throttle in their gas tank. 5 rings!!!! is good!

[TE]

Robdiaz noticeably absent from this thread..
He has openly admitted it's a schtick, tbh...let it go imo

[hitmanyr2k]

Mills reminds me a lot of Nate Robinson, a calmer version lol. He comes into the game with a ton of energy and he's a shooter with no conscience. The Spurs need that when their team gets in that mode of over-passing.

he is a very different player stlyle to tony parker. tony parker is slow calm and composed, less passing with starters, but when bench come with patty the whole pace change, its more uptempo, faster and killer 3s! i think that dynamic fks other teams up tbh1!!!!!

Patty should have played in the Finals last year tbh (before his injury)... He was always skilled, but he took it to another level this year.

[Mikeanaro]

Transition TWO HAND JAM, you mean :lol
It was an AWESOME TWO HAND JAM WHITE CHOCOLATE IS REAL AT 36, 46 AND EVEN 96 YEARS OLD!
Manu was boosted by Patty and his fricking thunderstrike energy mojo.

He can dunk, but Pop told him if he ever tried to do it in the NBA he would never get on the court again.

When Tony ran out of ideas started to lose the ball/dumb shots in the paint so Pop took him out, the result was a different rhythm between Patty and Manu our Spurs sustained the lead, so even without scoring much Patty was very valuable tonight.

I've been on the Mills bandwagon from day 1. Wish he'd gotten more burn last year, but he wasn't ready. He is just a flat baller. Love that guy.

#BakersMan

[cd021]

my mistake, Manu going hard like he 27 again.

[MI21]

As mentioned, that multiple effort, stepping in front of LeBron, reacting to the loose ball and tipping to Manu will be a play I remember forever if the Spurs win the series. That was absolutely sensational.

His shots that he missed looked pretty good as well.

[downunder]

Have the Heat anyone with Mills' desire to chase every loose ball ???

Roberto with the goods . . .

[Nero5]

he's having a good year. The difference is in part to what he is doing when he is NOT getting the ball - the defensive effort and movement without the ball. Confidence always helps too.

[will_spurs]

It looks like Patty has finally gotten over himself :D

He's shooting fearlessly and being a real pest on D. Exactly what's expected from a roleplayer in the playoffs.

[bigfan]

It sure is nice that we have three good point guards right now and Miami doesn't have one.

[Cowboys_Wear_Spurs]

Neal money should do it.

Possibly, put remember the Spurs have both his and Diaw's Bird rights. They are enough under the Luxury tax they could pay both 5mil a year and still be able to use the Full MLE and BAE this year offseason w/o going over.

[spurspokesman]

Patty cakes sparked us and our rhythm was better with him in the game rather than parker at times.

[Spur|n|Austin]

There were a couple times last night where I was screaming at Pop to get him back in the game. Good things happen when the Tasmanian Devil steps on the court! That hustle play where he dove and tipped the ball to Manu already on the fast break was a perfect example of the type of blue collar player he is.

Gracias senor for the .gif.
The infectious attitude on this play.
Viva la Patty!

[Mr. Body]

He's like a good Speedy Claxton.

Early in the series he was tentative. If he just lets out the stops he's a big weapon.

[BillMc]

His dive for the ball that ended with the Manu dunk was pure hustle, the strongest desire to be the man to the 50/50 ball. For this alone, Patty deserves a "Patty is awesome" thread.

I don't think there's an honest Spursfan who can say they don't love this guy. Translating that towel waving energy into game changing dives on the court.

[heyheymymy]

tumbling like an explosion blasted him away for fucks sake.

patty does a quick little barrel roll and bosh is spilling out like a retard going down the slide at discovery zone or some shit.

Also Corey Joseph is by far the best 3rd string PG in the league. He's the best defensive PG we, a championship level team, have

Unrestricted free agents:

Mario Chalmers and Patty Mills

Who gets the bigger deal?

[poeticism707]

This.

Patty's bbal iq is higher than TPs.

He isn't selfish,

moves the ball better than TP,

but ain't scared to let the 3 fly,

he ball hawks on D,

flys around screens like a madman,

a better shooter,

and hits his free throws.

If the Spurs

HAD TO CHOOSE

between the two of them,

Parker and Patty,

I would choose Patty.

They had better resign

Patty in the offseason.

[spurraider21]

tbh i was surprised he exercised his option to stay, since he got virtually no playing time last year, but he has stepped up in a big way this year

Looks like he was trying to suck his own.

Patty Mills is an even better person than he is a basketball player. He deserves every bit of success he is getting and I am thrilled for him. My six year old met him at one of the games and he was as friendly and down to Earth as they come.

[KL2]

At this point he looks even better than Parker, his foot speed alone allows him to close out on shooters much better and penetrate the defense, just can't play him and Belli together. He was great yesterday, TP almost fucked us.

[Crux]

I had always liked Mills when he was in Portland and actually was worried if his cast back then was healthy they could have caused us issues. He's a legit player, and his heart for the game is unmeasurable.

I still laugh at the pre game 1 with Kimmels guy.
