Coach's Pet

[FkLA]

We all know who I'm talking about. Yeah, he's a nice guy but I'm so sick of Pop overvaluing what he brings on the court.

[Mugen]

He looks so overmatched this series (the Nuggets guards aren't even that great).

Even his makes are bad shots. He should be seeing 10-15 mins a game this series tops but he's getting 20+....

So fucking easy to call :lol

[timtonymanu]

Lol lockerroom guy being the reason for Spurs losses (only shows up to hit a clutch 3 against the tanking Cleveland Cavaliers).

[FkLA]

When Bill said "coach's pet is making his way to the scorer's table" with 3 mins left I came real fucking close to just quitting.

[TheGreatYacht]

I know this thread is about the fat aboriginal, but Forbes isn't too far behind. I've never seen him yell at him like he did to Danny. After he took a terrible 3 in the 4th quarter when we were up 5, crater face looked at him and clapped in approval. He really does think he's mini Steph. He's said it before

[NASpurs]

Who doesn't want a fat wombat for a pet? I guess that's how Pop sees Mills.

I mean you could photoshop Pop onto that guy's face and put some dreads on the wombat and there you go.

Is it bad you could say this about half the roster tbh? I was thinking you were referring to 50 Mills, but you could say the same about Forges, Rudy, etc.......

Bbbb but forbes is worse:(

And as result, I have never grown to hate a Spurs player I did with Mills..

Lowkey wishing he picks a small niggle/injury to get out of the rotation. He only missed 4 games in the last 4 years FFS :lol..

Nice find!

Wombats and quokkas are so cute but people shouldn't interfere with wildlife...Pop has to travel and liberate Patty in Queensland.

Agreed

It's an awful feeling to know how much better the team would be if a certain player got injured. Because injury is the only way he'll lose minutes, incentivizing fans to either give up or hope for injury.

[midnightpulp]

I warned you all about the microwave 4 years ago. Few listened. "MVPatty" :lol

[slick'81]

Lmao 3rd highest paid player and playoff champion

[MultiTroll]

I just love the way Pattys hair flops around when he is circling around the court. It's so cute. I can't imagine why any of you are not enamored with Pops facilitiating the spiritual leader of the Spurs getting more court dance time.

I’m Aussie and I don’t want a fat wombat for a pet.

But I sure love to see someone attempt your suggested Photoshop!

yet here he is missing only 3 games in the last 4 seasons combined:lmao

[TDomination]

If Patty can't show up in game 3, then he should get cut out of the rotation. Its long overdue but sometimes home cooking gets a player going. I'm talking about 6/6 on threes or something to that degree.

[GAustex]

Patty checking in the third quarter changed the tone of the game from that point forward. Momentum changed and we did not have enough to overcome the changing tides.
Imagine Dejonte instead whenever you see Mills and wonder what could have been.

[spursistan]

Biggest myth about Pop: "He treats the players equally and everyone's got to get over himself :cry "

So true. If Bertans gets beat a couple times he gets pulled. Green used to be the same. With Patty, its you've looked hopeless on defense all game and havent hit anything today...go out and close the game for us, champ!

What a shame nobody in national media will call him out

[RC_Drunkford]

What a shame nobody in national media will call him out

nobody will even ask him a tough question postgame. Imagine a reporter asking Pop why he sat LA, DeRozan and White at the same time while rolling out a line up with no real PG

[vavvi]

There's no reason to ask that. He won't give an honest and elaborate answer anyway.

Yeah, wtf up with that clap afterwards. It was a bad shot early in the shot clock.

[spursistan]

Closed the last 5 minutes with him over White just as the latter was heating up..

Any dumb ass here who thinks Mills will ever get traded or even lose minutes to Loonie/Murray next year :lmao..

I can't even with Pop sometimes, coached a good game but just has to fall back to the Fat Wombat aka the Closer.

He won't get traded, but he will definitely lose minutes, lots of them. He'll probably be fatter next year too. Becky and Ime will step in and force pop to do the right thing

[HarlemHeat37]

He was great in the 1st quarter, which speaks volumes on how horrible he was in the following 3, looking at his numbers:lol

[slick'81]

Even worse paying all that money for nothing

[spursistan]

He lucked out with big enough lead and Denver finally cooling off in the fourth Q..

It is so obvious he still doesn't trust White and treats him like another role player, not a core piece of this team..

[midnightpulp]

Warned you all about the microwave. Some didn't listen.

[spursistan]

And you know what annoys me more: He missed a total of 4 fuckin' games in the last 4 years :lol..

I wish that reliability was Kawhi's once upon time..

The favoritism is disgusting. I know White is humble but he has to be burning up inside about it. Its human nature to feel slighted when someone that is clearly inferior gets the nod over you.

[midnightpulp]

0-7 from 3. :lol That's his only fuckin' job.

Some (Helmet Crew) actually thought this guy was a legit NBA starting PG :lol.

He's a specialist player whose ONE job is to come in and hit a couple of threes. That's it. When he doesn't do that, he's worthless.

[MultiTroll]

Best coach in the NBA.

[8sy21vd]

The media always says how clutch he is lol. Aside from a starting wing, a backup one is the biggest need.

[TDMVPDPOY]

6 consecutive missed 3pta from this pos

wtf does he get the green light to chuck when going pass a screen in the half court set with plenty of time on the clock???

no wonder why people praise his off the court presence, when he can't do shit on the court. He shoots an incredible 11.8% from 3 and 33% from the field this series and 60% from the freethrow line. Averaging a booming 5.3 points, 8th on the team in an 8 player rotation while getting paid the 3rd highest salary. His offensive rating is 99 while his defensive rating is 114. That's the corporate knowledge Pop loves

He is legitimately a worse contract than Pau, which was abysmal in its own way..

I mean at least when Gasol was healthy, he consistently gave you 10 pts-7 rebs-3 assists ; can stretch the D to the 3 PT line, 7-foot presence under the rime with 6 fouls to give..

What does this fat Wombat do?

to be fair I liked how he played in game 6 aside from him missing the 3s. It's probably cause of his hand injury, but of course Pop plays him anyway. Spurs should trade him, but like I said, I think Pop is scared to lose his locker room presence

[JeffDuncan]

Pop is getting old and a little bowed, and he likes somebody he can talk to without getting a crick in his neck.
