Just want to repeat, but it is awesome the Spurs were able to bring in 3 players with prior knowledge of the Spurs system!!!

Well it's been a long time coming and I'm very grateful for EVERYONE that has helped me but I could not be more excited to finally say...GAME DAY BALA GAME DAY!!! #GoSpursGo

Tell him he better be throwing up "3 goggle" everytime we hit a 3 pointer tonight.

[Blake]

I'll be expecting 12 points, 6 assists, 2 steals tonight from St Patty

Not sure about that, but I think Diaw will have a breakout game tonight against his old team.

Gosh I'm so excited. Haven't felt this confident in them since 08 but before the Gasol trade

[urunobili]

Stoked!

I'm sure he can end up being a 10-12 minute player come playoff time.

Green/Gino/Neal sharing time at the 2

Jax/Kawhi/Manu/Green sharing time at the three depending if we're going small or not.

Heck even JA may end up seeing limited minutes depending how is Danny playing and the match ups

No!

No!

[FromWayDowntown]

He's been on the roster for a while now; the league's official box scores have listed Mills as inactive against Minnesota, Dallas, New Orleans, and Philadelphia.

Looking forward to seeing him play soon.

[Spurbanana]

@JMcDonald_SAEN Mills had to go to Mexico City for his work visa. Was back in SA in time to make team plane yesterday.

I was partially right.

[Mugen]

Good Stuff. Finally.

First Sjax and then Diaw.. Now Mills. We OFFICIALLY STAAAAAACCCCKKKEEEEDDDD!

[NASpurs]

7. why nobody chose 7??

Useless fact for the day: There have been 7 players who have worn #7 for the Spurs

http://www.basketball-reference.com/...number=7&year=


Anthony Carter '04
Carl Herrera '97, '98
Forrest McKenzie '87
Pete Myers '91
Calvin Natt '89
Fabricio Oberto '06-'09
J.R. Ried '93-'96

[sehui]

Let's retire Oberto's number :P

[Blake]

Not sure about that, but I think Diaw will have a breakout game tonight against his old team.

/blue

Even if Neal plays, I'll be surprised if he gets more than garbage minutes.

[spursince#99]

first sjax and then diaw.. Now mills. We officially staaaaaacccckkkeeeedddd!

+1

[timvp]

Good that it's official. Though I wouldn't put him out there tonight against Nash. He's a sub par defender when he's in shape ... right now he's probably sub Blair.

But going forward, there will be plenty of opportunities for Mills to get minutes. Pop will probably sit Parker at least 2-3 games.

[SamoanTD]

its alll coming together now

[jrodriguez.Nb.Tx]

finally!
but i mean if Dentmon and B. diaw got playing time on the same days they signed with the team. i dnt see why pop wouldnt throw him out there tonight for a little bit tonight.
just hope he gets buckets lyk ive seen him do on his youtube vids

[capek]

I bet he'll get out there for 5-10 minutes, more if it's a blowout in our favor. Definitely excited that he's finally able to dress. Good luck to him!

Maybe not against Nash, but they could throw him out there against Sebastian Overrated Telfar....

hopefully once he gets his fitness back he can do this for us:
