2017 WCF Game 4: Spurs vs Dubs presented by OXO Good Grips brooms (5/22 8PM CT)

[spurs2112]

Does anyone know how much longer with Pop we have? Is it the 2 years left on LA's contract? I remember him promising to stay with him or something. I think it's time for a change.

[tholdren]

The Spurs came back with Pau in your fool.

Pau is +0 in this game and LA is -18, so STFU.

Youre a fucking retard

[raybies]

Kyle is playing like LMA should tbh..just so smooth and calm and bullies dudes down low. Or makes the right pass like LM struggles with.
really think he should be given a chance to start next year.

[ducks]

Mills
And
Gasol give gs big leads

[Quiet Strength]

Well the spurs were down 12 and they got a stop. The ball went out on Durant but of course the refs missed it and what do you know... The warriors hit a 3 and then another. I never believed the spurs would win this game but shit like that sucks for any team. Fuck the refs

[Ice009]

The reports on his injury.

Are you serious? Are they saying it could have long term consequences?

[DarrinS]

Here comes the 26-6 run in the 4th to send it to OT, tbh

:lol

[SAGirl]

Kyle is playing like LMA should tbh..just so smooth and calm and bullies dudes down low. Or makes the right pass like LM struggles with.
:tu
absolutely.
He has better ball handling and passing. A lot more patient with his book shots too.
Needs to play more.
Maybe some other team... cause Pop certainly hasn't given him enough run at the spot that seem ideal for him.

[Play Boban]

Youre a fucking retard
Yes, because I speak in facts and you speak in bullshit. Go be a Portland fan again and take that useless scrub Aldridge with you.

[tholdren]

Duh gasol playing great duh he a 0 +-.....

[raybies]

Murray, Green, Kawhi, Anderson, Aldridge

try that to start the year

[bklynspursfan]

:lol What's funny is these guys wanted Mills to start and the young guys should have gotten HIS minutes it appears

I don't get some folks on here man.

[Play Boban]

Duh gasol playing great duh he a 0 +-.....
Second beat on the team. Disproves your idiotic assertions that he's responsible for all these Warriors runs, when in reality it's your boy LA.

[raybies]

:tu
absolutely.
He has better ball handling and passing. A lot more patient with his book shots too.
Needs to play more.

honestly believe he's earning alot of respect and trust from pop

[DPG21920]

Are you serious? Are they saying it could have long term consequences?

Yes. I'm serious. The reason he is held out is because if the played IT COULD have long term consequences. Hence, him not playing so as not to risk that.

[bklynspursfan]

really think he should be given a chance to start next year.

I'd rather Bertans. Unless Anderson's shooting takes a leap in the summer. But Anderson should probably get a few more mins next season

[TheDoctor]

Yes. That is why he was held out. The ankle has no long-term damage now, but that is why he can't play. The risk of damage is too great.

What?!? Kawhi's injury had long term consequences?!? You kidding me???

[marinoman]

High point of the season was up 21 in game 1 against warriors with 8 minutes in 3rd.
Low point, waking up on Saturday and getting an alert on my phone that kawhi won't play game 3

[RD2191]

Does Pau give up the most and 1s in the league?

[tholdren]

Second beat on the team. Disproves your idiotic assertions that he's responsible for all these Warriors runs, when in reality it's your boy LA.

Duh nice defense duh

[FkLA]

Fuck you, Pau. You immobile sloth.

[raybies]

just cant get over the hump man.

[ElNono]

Are you serious? Are they saying it could have long term consequences?

hes trollin you... ask him for a link...

[tholdren]

Does Pau give up the most and 1s in the league?

Doesnt matter hes a 0+- so hes not a problem.....

[RD2191]

Yeah, I can't watch. I'm out.

[sammy]

FU Pop! You keep playing LMA, Gasol instead of playing Dedman & Bertans

[TheDoctor]

Pau can't even foul hard :lol

[Silver&Black]

In reality...Pau is on the court right now in San Antonio, Texas.

But, in his mind he's on a beach somewhere in Spain. Dude is just going through the motions.

[Quiet Strength]

I honestly dont know who i hate more... Aldridge or Gasol.

[tholdren]

Pau can't even foul hard :lol

Plus minus says he played the second best tonight.....

[testies]

Lol people forget Igoudala also caught massive heat for leaving Nuggets to Warriors after he lost to them.

What a team of mental midget colluding faggots.

[Ice009]

Yes. That is why he was held out. The ankle has no long-term damage now, but that is why he can't play. The risk of damage is too great.

Well if that is the case, OK, but I thought you were saying that there could be long-term damage without him even playing. That's how I took it.

Fucking Gasol kills another run with an And 1 foul. What the fuck is it with that fan sleeping. Darn San Antonio fans, fucking joke, man.

[Play Boban]

Game over. I hope all the Portland fans in this thread go to hell.

[ducks]

It was there the first three quarters of G1. Then Kawhi went down and the Warriors could focus their D on Aldride without repercussion.
No one can hit

[Uriel]

Starting to sink in now that this is the last quarter of Manu's storied career. I'm getting emotional. :cry

[tholdren]

Game over. I hope all the Portland fans in this thread go to hell.

Sorry youre dumb as shit. Plus minus. You idiot

[daledondale]

Game over. I hope all the Portland fans in this thread go to hell.
:lol

[Budkin]

Starting to sink in now that this is the last quarter of Manu's storied career. I'm getting emotional. :cry

He'll be back Book it.

[FkLA]

Starting to sink in now that this is the last quarter of Manu's storied career. I'm getting emotional. :cry

He's firing away like this is it. :cry

[tholdren]

He'll be back Book it.

Yep

[Play Boban]

Should Spurs fans sue Lamarcus Aldridge tbh?

[skin27]

just cant get over the hump man.
That's what happen if you don't have enough firepower..just like the dark ages days..haha

[ElNono]

Starting to sink in now that this is the last quarter of Manu's storied career. I'm getting emotional. :cry

If it is, he goes out as a top 4 team in the NBA, being probably the best Spur in the WCF at his age... something to celebrate, not be sad about

[testies]

why in gods sake is mills in the game

[Ice009]

Kyle is playing like LMA should tbh..just so smooth and calm and bullies dudes down low. Or makes the right pass like LM struggles with.

I'll take Kyle back. He's played very decently considering his athletic limitations (speed). PF, I think is his optimal spot.

[tholdren]

Lol mills and gasol

[spursistan]

Mills :lmao

[Play Boban]

Sorry youre dumb as shit. Plus minus. You idiot
Sucks your team couldn't even win a game in the playoffs. But Nurkic. :cry

[raybies]

mills :facepalm

[Rito3d30]

Mills was lost out there

[MultiTroll]

Any chance Pop will retire and not Manu?
Would really like to see what this team could do with it's potential.

[tholdren]

Sucks your team couldn't even win a game in the playoffs. But Nurkic. :cry

Killer emojis

[DPG21920]

No point in harping on Mills. He's a great teammate and fights hard. It just sucks so many people had to learn to appreciate TP in this manner and learn the hard way that Mills is no where near a starter.

[E20]

omg curry isn't in, durant isn't in. Make a run fuck

[Ice009]

i havent drank a beer in about a year but if the spurs go out tonight i think I'll have one.

I hardly ever drink either, but I might have one too tonight (it's 11am here, so I'll have to wait a few hours since I gotta go to work soon).

[TheDoctor]

Fatty :lmao

[Ron Swanson]

omg curry isn't in, durant isn't in. Make a run fuck


Durant is in the game

[TheDoctor]

Manu Forever

:flag:

[raybies]

please take out mills

[bklynspursfan]

Gifting Klay Thompson FTs 2x in a row.

[ElNono]

they get all the whistles.... they dont need extra help

[E20]

i was referring to literally a couple of posessions ago

[testies]

that's the price we pay to play forbes in a key game lol
so shorthanded

[raybies]

please take out pau

[ElNono]

somebody take out Durbeta while hes out there

[Ice009]

Patty can redeem himself by hitting 10 three-pointers from this point on.

[FkLA]

Two phantom calls to try to to get Klaynus "much better offensive player than Kawhi" Thompson going.

[Ron Swanson]

Patty can redeem himself by hitting 10 three-pointers from this point on.

There's one

[MultiTroll]

I hope Dedman tells Pop to go f himself if he puts him in with 3 minutes to go.

[tholdren]

Gasol lets durbetta have wide open bucket. Who cares 0 +-

[skin27]

Mills hitting shots when the game is already lever..smh

[DPG21920]

Manu!! What an effort and smart play from Kyle.

[Play Boban]

Patty can redeem himself by hitting 10 three-pointers from this point on.
He could redeem himself by taking out Curry or Durbeta's knees tbh...

[bklynspursfan]

My God I was so scared Anderson wouldn't get to that loose ball lol. Nice tap.

And Pau screws it up with his defense

[sasaint]

Nice, smart hustle play by Kyle.

[tholdren]

Pau gives west a bucket who cares 0+-

[Spurs9]

:lol Anderson crew

[r0drig0lac]

Mills is garbage

[ElNono]

wtf :lmao

[bklynspursfan]

Pop is pissed at Anderson there . 2 on 1 , bad break

[Play Boban]

Too little, too late.

[raybies]

:facepalm

[E20]

Does Anderson have any acceleration or vert he's jogging for a lay up wtf

[BatManu20]

Lol this lineup's defense is so pathetic

[Play Boban]

Fock you KYLE

[FkLA]

I love Manu.

[raybies]

little hands

[tholdren]

Paus d gamble gives 3pt play

[Ron Swanson]

little hands


Smells like cabbage

[bklynspursfan]

Wish Lee was out there instead of Pau man. Has much better hands

[BatManu20]

Lol feel bad for Kyle tbh. He tries hard, he's just not very good

[emanueldavidginobili]

Manu is so winded :(

[ace3g]

Clark again...

[tholdren]

Fock you KYLE

But but but plus minus...

[r0drig0lac]

Kyle and Manu playing very well

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

This seasons was never meant to be after we saw how bad Pau was...

[testies]

lol refs swallow whistles on our and1s

draymond allowed to scream in their face

god, why doent someone punch their ass?

[Keepin' it real]

How does Pau not lay out Curry on that layup?

[ducks]

Gifting Klay Thompson FTs 2x in a row.


they get all the whistles.... they dont need extra help

[tholdren]

Wish Lee was out there instead of Pau man. Has much better hands
Lee 100x better passer

[Ice009]

Yes. I'm serious. The reason he is held out is because if the played IT COULD have long term consequences. Hence, him not playing so as not to risk that.

Sorry man, I misunderstood. I initially thought you meant that the reason he's not playing is because they're worried about long-term consequences even without him playing.

fuck, everyone on the Warriors keeps hitting threes. their scrubs just keep hitting fucking threes.

[Play Boban]

But but but plus minus...
Why is a Portland fan posting in this thread tbh?

[HI-FI]

I love Manu.
This. Even though I get pissed at him a lot, I hope we get one more year.

[TE]

Crowd is really emotional tbh

[tholdren]

How does Pau not lay out Curry on that layup?

Vause hes a 0+- so it doesnt matter

[Robz4000]

Even with the Spurs playing undermanned and against far superior talent the refs still fuck the Spurs.

[twincam]

Anderson :td

[FkLA]

lol refs swallow whistles on our and1s

No shit. WTF man.

[Nathan89]

The corner 3 is a joke in the NBA.

[Keepin' it real]

Brown still playing his starters. One last chance for payback. Please someone show some cajones!

[TE]

I love you Manu :cry

[sasaint]

You gotta hand it to the Dubs' scouting, drafting and player development. I'd trade just about any Spur not named Leonard for McCaw or Clark. I think Klay may be the odd man out in GS partly because of the development of those two. Dubs could trade Klay for a high draft pick and just continue to reload.

[Capt Bringdown]

As others have said, I will find it hard to watch the Spurs if Pau and LMA are on the squad.
Before you say, "But WCF and regular season," who couldn't see this coming a mile away? The signs of softness were there all season on those 2.

[weebo]

Where's Lamarsha? :lol

[cd98]

Manu is playing his last game.

[playbonner15]

Think Spurs still has a chance :(

[daledondale]

:tu
Kyle and Manu playing very wellboth and Murray played well.

[bklynspursfan]

Lee 100x better passer

That too. Neither are getting stops defensively, but you know Lee is fighting for rebounds at least.

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

The Warriors will have a payroll of 100 million on 4 players next year....

[Play Boban]

5 points away from The Bump. Please Manu. :cry

[FkLA]

Pshh nigga please. They're decent at best.

[bklynspursfan]

Another moving screen by Livingston

[Play Boban]

Where's Lamarsha? :lol
On the trading block tbh.

[Ron Swanson]

GTFO Patty

[DPG21920]

That Mills handle vs pressure rearing it's ugly head again.

[Ice009]

He's firing away like this is it. :cry

He just wants to win the game. That's how Manu plays. It doesn't mean he's retiring. You guys should know better than that. That's how Manu plays. He plays to WIN. Half the players on this team DO NOT.

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

Me thinks Pau is retiring and this is why he is in so much,,

[testies]

WHY IS FATTY MILLS PLAYING

[Leetonidas]

Still can't believe the number of blatant moving screens GS gets away with

[HarlemHeat37]

Me thinks Pau is retiring and this is why he is in so much,,

No way he's passing up the $$$$$$ IMO..

[Budkin]

Manu stay. Pau GTFO.

[DPG21920]

:lol Mills defense is something else. I don't mean to harp on him but it jumps off the screen.

[raybies]

patty is so bad on defense

[Budkin]

Still can't believe the number of blatant moving screens GS gets away with

The Warriors are an exciting team.

[TheDoctor]

LMAO Paddy

[FkLA]

I don't want Paddy back. There I said it.

[spursistan]

Aldridge benched for good..

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

No way he's passing up the $$$$$$ IMO..

Guess we will see.

[Ice009]

No point in harping on Mills. He's a great teammate and fights hard. It just sucks so many people had to learn to appreciate TP in this manner and learn the hard way that Mills is no where near a starter.

Why won't anyone admit that Mills isn't worth more than he's currently getting currently paid. People want him back for 8 million or something like that which they consider cheap. I'd consider that massively overpaying.

[Keepin' it real]

Brown still playing his starters. One last chance for payback. Please someone show some cajones!

:bang

[PopTheGOAT]

No way he's passing up the $$$$$$ IMO..
You're right but damn I hope not

[ElNono]

hopefully this is LaMarcus last game as a Spur too, tbh

[testies]

Pop trying to kill Gasol of exhaustion.. nice strategy maybe we dont have to pay him if he dies

[Barfunk]

Lol the illegal screens

[weebo]

hopefully this is LaMarcus last game as a Spur too, tbh

[HI-FI]

I wonder how good Spurs could be if they got same leeway on illegal screens as Twinkball.

[Ron Swanson]

hopefully this is LaMarcus last game as a Spur too, tbh

Would love to see him traded on draft night.

[Quiet Strength]

Pop trying to kill Gasol of exhaustion.. nice strategy maybe we dont have to pay him if he dies

That would be really cheap. The Spurs aren't getting back a similar-caliber player for anywhere near that price.

[DPG21920]

No way he's passing up the $$$$$$ IMO..

You don't think that getting demoted to the bench and getting less PT might entice him to opt out and seek a longer deal somewhere?

[FkLA]

That twink posing on that last shot. I'm not an aggressive guy but I'd find it really hard to not swing at that faggot, tbh.

Where's MURRAY? Punished for behind the back pass?

[Ron Swanson]

Now Dedmon plays. smh

[Trainwreck2100]

hopefully this is LaMarcus last game as a Spur too, tbh

literally nobody to replace him with, any rival gm now knows what he's worth to us so he has zero trade value

[FkLA]

Why won't anyone admit that Mills isn't worth more than he's currently getting currently paid. People want him back for 8 million or something like that which they consider cheap. I'd consider that massively overpaying.

Dude $3 mill/yr is peanuts for a 10 PPG spark plug off the bench.

[ElNono]

:cry that ovation :cry

[Ron Swanson]

MANU! MANU MANU! :cry

MANU MANU

[Pocho La Pantera]

Manu Manu Manu

[DPG21920]

That would be really cheap. The Spurs aren't getting back a similar-caliber player for anywhere near that price.

For the MLE? I think they could. Is Mills really that quality of player in context? He's a solid role player, but I don't think he's anything special.

Never mind - I thought you meant the 8M number not his current deal.

[raybies]

Now Dedmon plays. smh
go figure

[HarlemHeat37]

You don't think that getting demoted to the bench and getting less PT might entice him to opt out and seek a longer deal somewhere?

Maybe I'm underestimating the incompetence of NBA front offices, but I would hope no GM would be foolish enough to pay him, commit more than 1 year and give him a starting role:lol

Outside of a 2-3 week stretch, he had a horrible season..

[lefty20]

Well even outside of other teams, you think Gasol is cool with being a bit bench player?

[Ice009]

That would be really cheap. The Spurs aren't getting back a similar-caliber player for anywhere near that price.

Ahh yes they can. Mills averages 6ppg career wise for the Spurs in the playoffs (2ppg with Portland). You could get back a taller player that plays defense and scores the same amount of points (if given the same minutes as Mills) for less money.

[DPG21920]

For his current salary.

Ya - I edited my post. Misunderstood.

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

That was a weak ass clap by Curry. He was like lets just go..

Frankly, it looked like Curry was kind of dissing Manu.

[Trainwreck2100]

:lol the curry "clap" was pure sarcasm

:lol I was just saying that. How awkward when Manu says after the game he's not going to retire

[Capt Bringdown]

Makes one realize how wonderful it was for The Admiral to go out on his final game an NBA champion. As a Spurs fan, I don't know if that moment can ever be topped.
Sometimes storybook endings happen.

[Keepin' it real]

Jalen laughing. Go Spurs Go!

[TDomination]

can't believe were up to 110+ with this lineup

thats a win in itself

[bklynspursfan]

Faking it for the camera. Not surprising

[Ron Swanson]

Danny's probably going to hit the clubs with the Dubs tonight.

Go Cavs Go

[TDomination]

Nice job by the fans

[FkLA]

Man fuck these bandwagon faggots ruining the Manu moment.

[bklynspursfan]

Pop is usually up early to congratulate the other team. He didn't want to with these guys lol

[raybies]

watching another member of the big 3 go is hard. so much of my childhood...

Danny's probably going to hit the clubs with the Dubs tonight.

If that means the Spurs come back next year and beat them, seems like a fair trade.

Pop with the great ass kissing at the end. He's gotta to make sure these guys commit to team USA.

[sasaint]

Pshh nigga please. They're decent at best.

Decent at worst. But I'll bite. Who do we have that is better other than Leonard? Tony, Mills, Kyle, Simmons, Forbes? I concede that Manu is for a span of a few games, but he is likely retiring, anyway.

Sometimes, like Lebron, all you need is one player better.

[Ice009]

Dude $3 mill/yr is peanuts for a 10 PPG spark plug off the bench.

Alright, I'll relent. In the regular season, yes it is great value (in today's NBA), but I'm only looking at his playoff numbers and 6ppg is all he averages. 4ppg less than the regular season.

[testies]

Mark Jackson spinning Manu's retirement to make Curry look good lol

[Robz4000]

Thank you for everything Manu.

I'm so sick of this BS of congratulating cheaters! Dirty fucking team! My hatred runs deep! I hope those sons of bitches. Blow out their fucking knees!

The nba is dirty..

[sasaint]

Man fuck these bandwagon faggots ruining the Manu moment.

When Manu went to the bench, idiot Mark Jackson immediately threw the focus back on the Dubs, saying what a great guy Curry was to stop at the free throw line to acknowledge Manu. What he actually did was chew on his cud (er mouthpiece), keep his eyes on the basket and clap half-heartedly. Man I hate both Jackson and Curry.

[tholdren]

Manu best player tonight second worst plus minus. Playboban is gay

[sasaint]

Mark Jackson spinning Manu's retirement to make Curry look good lol

Just burned me up, especially when it wasn't true.

The NBA is a joke tbh. Adam Silver is a shitty commissioner.

Silver is carrying a torch that was handed to him.

It was a great pleasure as always ladies and gents. Sharing the Season w/ you all, the BEST Spurs' community, is always an amazing journey :toast

It actually looked to me as he was doing it sarcastically or in a hurry up to the ref way.

Spurs fans showed up on the only reason to watch this game...Manu sendoff.

[SAGirl]

Mills a -24 in this game. Horrible game. Heh I hope he's let go honest to God.
I don't take Mills even for free :king:rollin

[Barfunk]

Lol "How did you guys get back to the finals?" ummm maybe the team they just played in WCF were missing 2 star players and a key role player. Ya think that might have helped?

[bklynspursfan]

How did u guys get through this tough Western conference (last 10 games) without your head coach Doris asks.. hm.

[GSH]

My coach taught me to set the screen by pushing.
http://i.imgur.com/MZPm9vn.jpg


That shit right there has got to change. It's not just moving screens anymore, they just fucking grab and hold. That's a penalty in the damn NFL.

The other thing is the ball handlers/shooters. When they want some space, they just stick a hand in the defender's chest and shove him back a step. They've effectively buried the rules to create these offensive juggernauts. But it's not basketball anymore.

[FkLA]

That was gay too. Not sure if y'all heard it though, but a Lets Go Warriors chant started after the Manu chants. Fucking bandwagon faggots.

That shit right there has got to change. It's not just moving screens anymore, they just fucking grab and hold. That's a penalty in the damn NFL.

The other thing is the ball handlers/shooters. When they want some space, they just stick a hand in the defender's chest and shove him back a step. They've effectively buried the rules to create these offensive juggernauts. But it's not basketball anymore.

For dem ghetto fans who dont understand passing and angles. Just want dunks and 3s

Those fans are beaners who used to be Laker fans back in the day and now they have switched over to the Warriors. Ultimately they are LA transplants living in SA.

[Ice009]

Nope.

DEAD WRONG.

Someone on his own team just did it - Simmons. Simmons averaged 10ppg in the playoffs for less than a million dollars. He also played much better defense and overall played less minutes per game than Mills did. A D-league shooting guard, just like I said. I wasn't even thinking about Simmons when I made that statement. I'd be giving Simmons the money they were considering giving Mills and letting Mills walk.

Like DPG said, Mills is nothing special.

YOU DO NOT PAY Mills any more than maybe the MLE. Someone who constantly underperforms in the playoffs should not get paid MLE or above type money by this organisation.

Why was Verde on bench more than Forbes win loss wasn't assured?

[Chomag]

So how many minutes in into the finals when GS starts trying to take out Lebon's knees?

Plenty of homegrown, ghetto beaners as well. God knows ghetto people love to bandwagon. A bunch of them were Heat fans 3-5 years ago

[Play Boban]

Watch Poop blame this loss on Trump.

[SAGirl]

Alright, I'll relent. In the regular season, yes it is great value (in today's NBA), but I'm only looking at his playoff numbers and 6ppg is all he averages. 4ppg less than the regular season. He got the most playoff minutes he's ever had and literally did nothing with them. He went a whole 4ppg down.
He did the same last season against OKC. Also airballed a game winning shot I think it was game 4?.
Dabom and some ignorant crew spun Mills mediocrity and struggles on KA who was barely playing 8 minutes per game. Glad these dudes are getting exposed.

[ace3g]

I still think Manu deserves to go out after a competitive series. One more year Manu!!!!

The MLE is $8 Million next year. You aren't getting a better player than Patty for his salary. It's a bargain.

I over exaggerated a little bit on his ppg these playoffs, Mills still average 10ppg, but yeah, he got more minutes and did nothing with them. He shot around 41% from the field and 36% from three point range. Jonathon Simmons averaged more ppg is less minutes per game with superior defense for under 1 million dollars. Chinook said you can't get that anywhere else. Spurs got that from another player on their own team with better defense, height, fg%, similar 3pt% and a lot less money.

Pay Simmons a fair contract (maybe MLE type money, but don't overpay for him either, though) and let Patty walk.

[SpurPadre]

Sadly, Manu is most likely not coming back unless by some miracle he agrees to come back after the all-star break next season.

Pretty clear from the way Pop started and played him, and pulled him at the end, that they both knew this was probably The Last Game.

We just did. Jonathon Simmons. Who says you can't find someone do the same next year for less than $8 Million? You don't pay Mills that much money. He's an undersized shooting guard that can't play a lick of defense and that underperforms in the playoffs. You don't even pay him $8 Million a year for that.

Yep, and he vowed to be better this season in the playoffs. Said he wasn't happy with the way he played in the playoffs last year. Looks like him and LaMarcus like making similar statements and never deliver. It must an ex-Portland player thing.

[SAGirl]

Manu is playing his last game.
Yes
He was emotional....

I'd be fine with that, better than a Joel Anthony signing.

This. I would hate for the microwave that malfunctions to be overpaid when the Spurs are still paying Tony and what he does can be replicated by Forbes.

Simmons is going to get at least $8 Million next season, and that's only because the Arenas rule caps his salary. But you keep changing the subject. You said Mills was worth that he's being paid now. That's completely not true. You're not going to find a proven guy better than Mills for that money. Can you luck into one or draft one? Possible. But you aren't going on the market with Mills' current salary and bringing back an upgrade.

[Hoops Czar]

Pop treated this game like a glorified pre-season game, not a WCF's game. Not at all surprised by the outcome.

I am hoping for some changes but I am probably delusional that Mills won't be back. He's just so inadequate. McCaw and Ian Clark are better more versatile guards than him and McCaw is a better athlete and longer. Forbes can replicate him. Simmons is better all around except shooting. Murray is extremely talented. Mills was the worst guard on the floor the entire series.

Really he's an overrated chucker frankly. He can get insanely hot but I prefer those shooting go to Bertans for example.

I am actually afraid Pop is running this thing right back while leaving young players still in the doghouse.
