Patty Mills should be Spurs backup PG.

What's that have to do with anything? From the second quarter on, he was terrible. You're giving him credit for hitting a three when it was maybe the only time in the entire second half that he didn't fumble the ball.

This was one game (In the first half he was a beast tbh). The way he played all year plus him beign without a doubt the best shooter (and not a choker) make him indispensable for the playoffs.

The signs now point to 9-10 rotation players for the POs with Anderson, Mills, and Blair outside of the rotation.

Mills decision making is even worse than Neals & that's saying something, but at least Neal can make big time shots.

Agreed. When Mills was making his shots, he seemed like a hero, but when they're not dropping you really just notice that his shot selection is horrible. Running down the floor and jacking up a shot 4 - 6 seconds into the shot clock.

Where's Bruno though?

I don't hope Mills to be a good defender. I just hope he won't be the worst defensive NBA PG like Neal.



It's Neal as a PG the problem, not Neal.
Spurs allowed 95.7 points per 48min.
When Neal plays SG, it's 95.6 points per 48 min.
When Neal plays PG, it's 104.1 points per 48 min.

With Neal as PG, Spurs team defense is totally destroyed.



True and I gave him credit for.



Well, it's worth a try. If Mills doesn't fit well alongside Ginobili after a handfull of game, it will be time to go back at Neal.



Well, one of Neal or Green would be out of the rotation if Mills is the backup PG. If you want to keep Neal in the rotation,j just put Green out of it. Personally, I'm not sure Neal should be given minutes over Green.



After what happened against Memphis last year, Spurs can't take a single playoff opponent lightly. Neal will be destroyed by players like Mo Williams, Beaubois or Dragic.

And if the matchup is right and Mills isn't that good as backup PG, going back to Neal as backup PG for a series would be fine. Saying that, Mills should be the primary backup PG because Neal total inability to defend quick PGs is just a too big drawback.

damn Brunodamous

tbf, this is a thread from 2012, when Mills was still a chunky dude... 2012 Mills and 2013 Mills are two completely different players. Much props to the Aussie for putting in work over last summer...
