In Brooklyn tonight to take on a 16-28 Nets team who are losers of 5 of their last 6. No Manu or Rudy tonight, and Pau is listed as questionable. No excuse not to win this one regardless. Let's get it.

This was bullshit when Crawford did it to Duncan, and Crawford ended up getting suspended for the rest of the season.
How is this okay now? Is the league just gonna browse over Forte doing essentially the same thing (albeit without the challenging to fight part?)

It's always going to be an uphill battle with the starting lineup that Pop currently puts out there. It's not balanced whatsoever if you look through the personnel. Starting Bertans could probably help. Parker, LMA and Gasol all taking midrange shots doesn't really spread the floor and when they do take 3s, it's like 1 or 2 a game.

That is correct. Even though his usage is low and he hasn’t been all that good, he still runs sets more cleanly than anyone else, makes very few mistakes and gets the ball to players in the right spots, accurately and on time (and still finishes better than most of the guards outside of Manu this year).
He’s not been very good but he’s still the best PG offensively with regards to running an offense and controlling tempo.

It means, that while the offense obviously has problems and TP doesn’t make them great there, that the team gets better more consistent quality looks with TP out there (especially LMA who is the offense with Kawhi out).
That doesn’t mean everyone makes all the shots or that the offense is super smooth, just that out of the bad options SA has for offensive guards TP is still the best one.

Right now, Mills is by far the least shitty option that we have at PG when it comes to offense. Even if he is missing everything, because teams at least respect him out there.

We can't get a guard open on TH inbound
Neither guard was doubled.
It has happened multiple times this season. I wonder if screens are not well set, execution is poor, or what... if it was just one time, one could say ok random occurrence, but it isn't...
I genuinely wonder why they are constantly botching OTO plays.

We were speaking in terms of ball handling and getting the team into sets/spots and delivering passes on time to people in particular LMA.
That sounds good and all, but how much difference does that really make? If we go by the metrics for the last 4 years, not very much.

Anyway, go Spurs go. Much needed win.

Right now, Mills is by far the least shitty option that we have at PG when it comes to offense. Even if he is missing everything, because teams at least respect him out there.
The truth... I am glad they didn't waste this game from him, he was on fire.

It made a difference in last year’s WCF run for sure. It also sheds light on why Murray isn’t playing more and what Pop is searching for/tinkering with.

Mills really stepped up. As great as LMA was, SA loses without that offense from Mills. Hopefully he gets hot and becomes a consistent gunner for Sa.

Tony was awesome on the last playoffs but still we basically beat the Rockets without him. So again, how much difference does he really make at this point?

Team will need better play from all the others (yea Kyle too, bc "in b4 all the references to him on replies to me like I care...")
anyways... Mills going nuts from 3 isn't going to happen nightly...
I don't think things are as fixed as they appear.

I would argue if he helps you beat a playoff team then it’s a big deal? I mean by your line of logic right now none of our guards really matter since they all grade out meh overall.

Of course not. Spurs are battling without their MVP player. Things aren’t going to be smooth and you aren’t going to blow teams out
Luckily LMA is an all star, they are getting contributions from random players (Kyle, Bertans, Forbes, Pau playing great, Murray, spotty Mills).
Then overall they are doing damn good on defense even with Kawhi/Danny hobbled/out.
They have a big home stretch coming up too before the RRT and that will be critical.

They need Manu back healthy, tbh... he's having a great season, and it's clear they're going to need some grandpa juice here and there

My point is: did he really help us beat a playoffs team? With how great Tony did against Memphis and how tough that series was one would want to say yes, but then we overcame a much tougher opponent without him and it makes me think that we probably would have still beaten the Grizzlies without him.
I mean by your line of logic right now none of our guards really matter since they all grade out meh overall.
Yeah, and I'm pessimistic that after this season we will be locked to them for the next 3/4 years to the tune of around 100 millions dollars. That's what bugs me.

I agree - its a big issue. SA isn’t dumb and I tried to explain how I think SA ended up here (bad luck). But I think they will address it the best they can either via trade,draft or FA.
They were really banking on Murray becoming a starting caliber PG and he still has time.

True - they need it from all over. I also think due to the PG “issues” we will see Pop have some non-traditional lineups in the playoffs too (maybe no TP/Mills/Murray in at all)

Mills

That is correct. Even though his usage is low and he hasn’t been all that good, he still runs sets more cleanly than anyone else, makes very few mistakes and gets the ball to players in the right spots, accurately and on time (and still finishes better than most of the guards outside of Manu this year).
He’s not been very good but he’s still the best PG offensively with regards to running an offense and controlling tempo.
Yup. But if it doesn't show up in a box score, people don't acknowledge and/or see those simple things he does.
I do hope he can start knocking down that corner 3 again, and just get that mid range shot back consistently
