I'm not big on the Mills benching

[bklynspursfan]

I kind of agree with this... I thought he could've come in handy against Miami because he's a pesty guy and tends to bring up our energy level when we need it. Sometimes just bringing a spark for a couple minutes off the bench even if it doesn't mean scoring could make the difference between winning/losing.

[Dr. John R. Brinkley]

For a while Pop was using him in the 3rd quarter to inject some energy. This strategy was working but I can see how Pop needs to decide on a lineup and Nando plays better defense than Mills so it isn't that hard of a decision.

He's a defensive liability? Apparently, you haven't watched too many Spurs games this month.

So you want the defense to get worse, got it.

So you want the defense to get worse, got it.

If after watching this team for the past 1.5+ months, you think Gary Neal is the problem, then you're obviously as clueless as the rest of them. If they actually had players not named Tony Parker and Tim Duncan, that could actually score points on a regular basis, they wouldn't need to rely on Gary Neal's offensive lift. FYI, Gary friggin Neal wasn't guarding Mike Conley on the last possession.

How about we do a sign and trade in the off season for Manimal. The numbers would work.

Bring in Randolph instead. I would love him, TBH.

IDK, just about ANYONE ON THE TEAM would have had the more sense to pass the ball to a WIDE OPEN STEPHEN JACKSON UNDER THE BASKET than that Neal. loooooooooooooooooooooow bbiq, calls his own number way too much. His only redeeming quality is that he's cheap, same with bllair.

I saw that play too and was screaming at the TV. I wanted to reach through the TV and slap the ball from Neal's hands and give it to Jack. Passing the ball to a wide open teammate, especially one underneath the basket, is a basic basketball play. If Pop ever wanted to blow a gasket, he should've done so over that play.

Most posters here will have their favourites and will like a little girl if things don't go as they think it should.

what? so you're saying mills isnt a defensive liability?

[benfti]

I think both of the aussies could have had big positive impacts and really helped the spurs struggling 2nd unit. Mills brings the quickness and Baynes brings the size, two things the spurs are a bit short on. Not to mention both have great at udes.

I subscribe to this view

[TheGoldStandard]

At this point I think mixing it up with Mills is just as liable defensively as running out Neal out there. Neal is a spotty shooter and he's been injured so he's even worse plus he will take any shot no matter what or who is open. Neal needs to be shanked.

[hater]

yeah neal is looking horrible. looks like a s of himself and he wasn't much special to begin with.

he's got Roger Mason written all over him this year imo

[TheGoldStandard]

I think even Roger Mason would be shaking his head at Neal, a younger Pop would have cursed Roger to the bench after not passing to Jax under the rim.
