whose going to wave the towel or first man of the bench to hi5 players?
Does he deserve more time after this game? Maybe take Neal's time

Seriously though, yes he should take some of Neal's time until he is eventually THE backup PG.
Haha yeah someone else can. It just shows what Mills can do when given some confidence and some time
Uh...yeah!
Although Neal may provide instant offense at times he pretty much gives up whatever he contributes offensively with his poor defense. Mills is not a great defender either but he's MUCH faster laterally than Neal, guys blow by Neal all the damn time. Mills also runs the offense much better, is a better passer as well.
Mills looks extremely energetic out there, like he's all over the place defensively. I think this is due to a lack of pt, he plays out of control because he's trying to impress the coaching staff. Should he regularly get minutes I think he will calm down allowing him to be much more effective.
Mills looks better than Parker did at his age.
I'm sure Pop will make the right decision.
He does I think, because he has shown the most potential out of all of out PGs/undersized SGs.
I don't think he'll end up turning into a legit PG at some point over the course of the season if Pop just throws him into the fire. It's not like Ford, where he had a ton of experience, and it was just a matter of time when he'd handle the offense properly (which he started to do before the injuries). Mills completely has to learn how to handle a real NBA offense. He barely has a thousand NBA minutes under his belt. Most of which came in garbage time for the Blazers a couple years ago.
But I think he should be getting the lion's share of the backup PG minutes to help his progression for future seasons. Even for just this year, his potential is a of a lot higher than Neal's at everything but scoring.
Mills was also pretty impressive during the olympics.
I think his potential as a scorer is better than Neal tbh
Tomorrow night will likely be "The Patty Mills Show" with a lot people warming the bench or at the hotel......
Sarcasmic Blue ^
Parker was winning championships with Finals MVP accolades at Mills current age (+/- a year), tbh.
I actually thought Mills was younger than he actually is. I worded it wrong in that case. Mills looks better than Parker did with his current amount of NBA experience.
Predicting a Steve Smith game?
Spursfan sets it up, timvp knocks it down. Internet forum comedy gold tbh
Over Neal at backup PG yeah, no doubt at all .
Every minute of it. I think he's actually a better shooter than Gary, and that's Gary's best skill. Ball handling isn't even a contest.
not really.
Neal sadly has better handles than Mills
neals and mills are the same player basically
mills is better at getting to the rim
neals is better at mid range and 3 ball but both are scorers
mills fools people into thinking he plays good D since he picks up full court but he doesnt really pressure the ball handler
pop coud just see which one is hotter and play them more minutes that night
Neither Neal nor Mills are true point guards. That being said, they are backups, and either are serviceable. Can't expect to have a Tony Parker coming off the bench. Neal can always explode and give you a game like tonight, and Mills is capable of big games as well.
lol spurfan
What happens if the spurs say to with it on guarding guards, put Jackson in at the 3, and put in two defensive bigs for the second team? I mean sure the spurs would have to find a pair of big men that are ok with only clean up points, rebounding and playing defense but it would probably work. Maybe they could trade bonner and blair for said defensive bigs. I seem to remember a few offensively challenged big's being available over the last few years.
