Patty was great, tbh... lot of guts at the end... we're just not going to win without Kawhi, tbh...

Patty was great??? WTF?

[gambit1990]

Lmao 20 point lead and Mills can't do shit
warriors scored 18 unanswered with kawhi being out. it's typical that you don't know what you're talking about.

[ElNono]

Patty was great??? WTF?

he got out of the way in the 1st half, let Kawhi and LMA do their thing... were you complaining about our starting PG when we were up 20 at the half?

[100%duncan]

TBF, we wouldn't bump this if kawhi hadn't gotten injured.

[gambit1990]

We had the win in the bag. It's not on mills faggot. :lmao

What a shitty game for him

[timtonymanu]

Gasol was the worst Spurs player on the floor today. Disappointed Mills couldn't hit a 3 but he wasn't the biggest cancer on the floor. That was Pau.

Why would I. The fact SA was up has no bearing on his game

Mills can't run an offense. SA could not score when Kawhi was out because they could not run offense.

[DPG21920]

Ok wow :lol. You are retarded.

[DPG21920]

Spurs did not need Mills to get out of the way. They needed a starting caliber PG to run an offense and manufacture points. Mills was spotted a 20 point lead and he did nothing to step up. His job is to make shots and he failed. If you think he's a starter then his job is to run an offense and he failed.

[gambit1990]

Ok wow :lol. You are retarded.
spurs lost the game because the warriors busted it open after kawhi got hurt:

warriors scored 18 unanswered with kawhi being out. it's typical that you don't know what you're talking about.
kawhi is the spurs pressure release valve on offense.

[DPG21920]

So then what's the point of Mills if without Kawhi the team can't score? Spurs needed Mills and he showed exactly why he's NOT a starting caliber PG

[ElNono]

So then what's the point of Mills if without Kawhi the team can't score? Spurs needed Mills and he showed exactly why he's NOT a starting caliber PG

Because that's how the team was built and the game was planned. When the Spurs had a different gameplan, he did just fine (or at least I don't remember the complains in the other 4 or so games?)

[TheGreatYacht]

Short bus :lmao

Game turned into postup ball when Fatty Mills was forced to run point

[DPG21920]

Because that's how the team was built and the game was planned. When the Spurs had a different gameplan, he did just fine (or at least I don't remember the complains in the other 4 or so games?)

I've been very consistent with my gripes about the view of Mills as a starting caliber PG on a playoff level team. When TP went out, they had to go away from their main PnR offense because Mills can't run that set effectively.

The fact that SA can still win with Mills is great; it does not change the fact that he can't run an offense as a starting PG.

Look at what you're saying. You said Mills played great. So the bar for playing great is "getting out of the way" of Kawhi/Lma and then when they actually need you because Kawhi is no longer there you can't manufacture points for yourself or others and your inability to run an offense crisply results in the total offense bogging down?

I mean listen to what you are saying here.

[RD2191]

Dabom is my dude but Mills is absolutely a trash PG, the ONLY thing he brings to this team is his 3 point shooting, if he's not hitting then he's pretty much worthless.

[dabom]

Patty didn't shoot 20 times today. Only player that showed heart in the closing of the game. We were feeding LMA the whole Warriors run. Anyone thinking it was Mills, while he was executing Pops plan is a fucking degenerate.

He got the ball to LMA, and Kawhi, then to LMA in the 2nd half when Kawhi was no longer there... 3 ast, 2 steals, and yes, he had a poor shooting night. But that was his job. That LMA then turned it over 6 times because he couldn't handle a double team, doesn't mean that "Mills can't run an offense". No, it means LMA chickened out...

This team isn't built with Mills as a 3rd option on offense or anything like that. It's a team built to give it to Kawhi and LMA, and we only deviated from that one game so far, and we've been doing pretty well. I mean, we're on the WCF which was supposed to be the ceiling right?

I mean, some people said with Mills starting we wouldn't be here? What happened?

SA is a damn good team and much better than everyone but GS. I dont think many people said SA wouldn't be "here" with Mills starting. I think, me personally at least, said that Mills was not a better option than Tony.

[ElNono]

So you think "he played great"? That is your honest assessment? If that is the case, we just have to drop it because you and I see things VERY differently .

Yeah. I don't think he played any different than when we won by 39 against Houston. He maybe made more shots then, and Houston sets shittier screens... but he didn't do anything much different, the Dubs are just a team that get away with a ton of shit, but we knew that.

[ElNono]

SA is a damn good team and much better than everyone but GS. I dont think many people said SA wouldn't be "here" with Mills starting. I think, me personally at least, said that Mills was not a better option than Tony.

I mean, there was plenty of people. I can't get mad with the fact that we hit our ceiling. GS is that much better team, but playing TP or Mills wouldn't really make any difference as far as Zaza setting fruity picks, etc.

If anything, going forward, I like that DJ is getting some experience.

[dabom]

And the WORSE fucking thing about a LMA run offense is that when he runs the time down to like 6 seconds, passing it back out to a player. :lmao

How can you see GS is "much better" when both in the regular season and this playoff game SA clearly had success vs them?

I mean, if you want to say they would win the series I totally understand. But this isn't some tier 1 vs tier 2 type deal. SA is on the same tier.

[SAGirl]

Can't overpay a 6ft sg tbh
That's the bottom line. His role is to make shots from 3. When that's not there guys should recognize he's limited in other areas. I thought he played well within himself etc, but it's true part of the reason the Spurs went to shit without Kawhi was lack of perimeter playmaking. Manu stepped up... but struggled a few posesiones and Simmons showed this is his first rodeo at this level,.. he also didn't handle that pressure well, but Pop kept going to him bc he wa a better option to get a shot than Mills ... I wanted to see more Murray instead.

Simmons can't handle an offense in the half court. He's early transition and shifting defense attacker.

Patty is a short sg.

Both have value the Spurs are in a tough position this summer because these guys will likely receive offers well beyond their value.

We shall see. I like both within a role but it's just unknowable what they will get. I think Spurs do want them back within reason... but out of reason deals I think they are gone.... we shall see.

In what way the Spurs had more "success" in the regular season? This game played out exactly like the last RS game, just with the Spurs playing better defense and GS having KD for the whole game...

I think they're on a different tier... just IMO.

Spurs obliterated them game 1 of the season. Had a massive lead (that they blew) again. Then had a huge lead today until Kawhi got hurt. Having 3 20+ point leads vs the same team is success. The Anamoly is GS coming back, not SA getting leads.

:lol that was 100 games ago... it's like saying the Spurs beat them the last time they played a series. If anything, last game was the last frame of reference, and it surprisingly played a lot similar to today...

Too similar to be an anomaly. I picked the Dubs in 5, tbh, because I do think they're on a different tier, both game and talent wise at this point... I think it goes far beyond role players, they just have way more weapons and there's no coaching advantage for the Spurs. We'll see.

Different tier does not go down 3 out of 5 games by 20+ points. Sorry. If Kawhi was not injured it would be 2 massive blow out wins with one other massive lead blown. So if SA beats GS 2 of 5 games in blowouts and one loss after blowing a huge lead, that doesnt change what you are saying?

Spurs beat GS by 29 and 22 this year. GS beat SA 12 & 2 (tonight). Like I said, if Kawhi isn't injured tonight, that would be 3 out of 4 wins by double digits.

[Hoops Czar]

The worst best pg on the Spurs roster, tbh.

We haven't played them in a series in 4 years... I don't care about regular season, tbh... this is where the meat is, and while I'm very proud of the Spurs reaching this stage (this is the ceiling I had for them this season), the most surprising part of today's game was the fact the Spurs started the game the way they did, not the Dubs eventually turning it around, tbh.

I love my Spurs, and would love to have a shot at the Cavs, but I don't think we're at the talent and game level the Dubs have been in the past 2-3 seasons. The only thing that would change my mind about it if the Spurs do beat them or it takes them more than 5 games for them to beat the Spurs.

The warriors barely beat up a depleted Spurs roster. That 20 point deficit with Kawhi, would probably balloon to 30 easy. It was that type of game.

I do think some team is going to overpay for Patty, I just hope the TP situation doesn't make the Spurs be that team... Love Patty, but for the right price. He's not at the top PG in the league level.

DJ having a decent showing is good in that aspect.

[dabom]

This is how you can tell who was gonna win. The Spurs let off the gas a little and the Warriors made a little run, then the Spurs go serious and then they were up 20 again. The Spurs were controlling this whole game.

Sure it was "surprising" to see SA dominate GS on their floor in a WCF, but looking back at what SA has done to them all year, it painted a pretty clear picture that SA is a team that clearly gives GS major issues.

The regular season is good to have an overall idea of the talent level and development (in GS case, the former is probably a waste, since everybody know their talent). Playoff matchups are different, rotations shorter, much bigger gameplanning.

As much as I hate DWest and Zaza, the Dubs are a lot of what the Spurs are: continuity, a core, well coached, resilient, etc. They took a lot of the Spurs model as their own, and that's something the Spurs should be proud of.

I have good feelings about next year but these days colluding players make it hard to compete even if you play the right way, but the Spurs send that message that playing good ball is still the best answer, it's what the NBA fans want.

The only good thing about the TP injury is that Mills price went down. Pretty much everyone knows when he was asked to be a start on a playoff team he was not able to do so.
Yep

He simply can't shake off any of the sundry of plus defenders the Warriors have in both units to get a shot up ..He is a liability in this matchup..

Why are we crying at the only shooter/ball handler on our team. :lmao

When Kawhi comes back, they'll need Leonard to play point forward and have Paddy play off the ball so he can get some open looks. He's just too ineffective at the point and like you said, he can't shake his defenders on 1-on-1 matchups.

He's pretty much useless paired up with DG against the Warriors.

The Culture will win the Championship. The Culture Championship, that's the only Championship the Spurs care about. I doubt Kawhi sees it the same, though.

Appeared to be true + him obviously loving his comfort zone with SA.

In 4 short years the game has changed so much. Patty was never THAT good to begin with, but he was a solid bench guy at that time. Now he useless against a team like GS.

I don't even play Patty on 2k18 anymore

We could have got Elfrid Payton for a 2nd round pick. I can't understand why we paid Mills so much.

It's all smiles now, but it'll soon hurt pretty bad. Grease your assess for some textbook Patty clanks and flea hopping defense style.

It's pretty telling that green can play mills bench role better.

Shot 3-9 from the field. Thank god we had good play from the backup SG spot for once though

I think it makes more sense to play Patty and Murray together, they get out there and run. They're quick and it makes the team tougher to defend. Patty can defend the PG or the worst of the two and Murray can defend either the better player or the SG. But on offense Murray is the PG and Patty is the SG.

[SAGirl]

Starting Paddy was more about strengthening the undersized and defensively challenged bench by giving his bench minutes to Danny, while being able to hide Paddys deficiencies with a better defensive group than it was about Paddy himself.

Think it was some of that but also Mills is a more explosive offensive player and his offensive can help the starting unit while Green's D helps the bench and Parker and Manu will help him find open shots. Murray and Anderson are good defenders and Aldridge and Gasol are both excellent at protecting the rim so Green shouldn't be but so missed on that end.

I am not sure it's permanent. For example, Manu wasn't playing in that particular game, and the one in Denver, Danny was out due to the stomach flu (or bad spaguetti) and Pop said in the game interview that he had guys in minutes restrictions (I assume he referred to Rudy Gay, whose minutes have been controlled, and Danny, coming back from a flu).

We shall see what happens. I tend to think things are very much in flux. What I don't like is to see Pop play 13 guys at this point.

I think there's a lot of truth to this. He might be better starting next to a guard who can actually defend. Starting him with Kawhi, LMA and DJ would probably be a decent move, limiting his minutes with Manu returning to come off the bench.

[sasaint]

Many things about this move make sense. Although I, too, doubt it was anything more than an expedient or one of Pop's experiments.

On a slightly more Machiavellian note: does bringing Danny off the bench possibly decrease other teams' interest, making him easier to retain. Otoh, might it really piss him off? Could Danny's relationship with PATFO also be CHILLING?!?!?!

I have no idea, but I do think Danny is ready to look out for himself more this summer. He took the $10 mill/yr in his last contract bc he really didn't want to leave and that was the summer the Spurs signed Lamarcus and Kawhi got a raise so he knew the Spurs offered what they could.

However for the past couple of seasons he has been in trade discussions and he also saw Paddy and Pau get generous deals. I think he wants to be back of course but so much depends on whether the Spurs want to go after a premier FA, so he is getting ready to look out for his bottom line.

I don't think it would affect him in FA if he plays more bench minutes going forward. He has not been benched bc he's fallen from a cliff. Any GM can see the Spurs bench this season is very undersized and has needed help defensively while Dijon and Kyle have been good defensively without Danny in the lineup, enough to hold their own. But in terms of Danny's ego, we can only speculate about that.

The summer is unpredictable to me in general. There's a possibility they want to go after a FA again. However, I am currently leaning towards them standing pat with perhaps some minor changes in the margins for guys not coming back getting switched with perhaps a draft pick or a veteran in a small deal.

Retaining/resigning Kiwi and their own guys might be their priority and I wouldn't be dissappointed if that's all they do.

[Seventyniner]

"Standing pat" also allows use of the MLE, though I don't know how close that would take them to the tax if Rudy opts in.

Yea I haven't done any crunching of numbers myself, and adding their draft pick and someone like Milutinov would require them to open up some roster spots, so by logical deduction, some guys won't be back. We can only speculate who.

Wooooooo

Spurs def rating with and without Patty on the court.

On (1,510mins) - 106.4pp/100 (16th in NBA)

Off (1,466mins) - 98.0pp/100 (1st in NBA)


Yet, Pop & Messina are playing him 35 mpg the past 3 games..

[TheGreatYacht]

:lol bump

Lets be honest. The only reason this fat midget is starting is because some Cleveland fan dropped a truth nuke.

[$pursDynasty]

I am starting to think that Patty is the new Dejuan Blair. Pop is using him to eat up most of the minutes in the regular season and hopefully won't see the light of day in the playoffs . Pop knows he will need a fresh as possible MVParker in the playoffs as well as a more seasoned Dijon.

He might be the new Bonner. Good locker room chemistry guy, everyone loves him, Pop loves him, spreads the floor and that’s pretty much his biggest value to the team. If he’s Bonner he’s going to be around for a long time...

[$pursDynasty]

Well 50 million dollars is a lot of scratch and cap space for the new Matt Bonner when we could have the real Matt Bonner for the vet minimum
