The hook has been bitten. How far will the fish fight before either he's reeled in, or the line breaks...
Let's watch!
Truth bomb.

In 2016 (nearly fourth quarter! ) if you ask a question of fact in sports forum main thread (instead of using simple research) you are either mega lazy, mega dumb, or trolling. Op is so special I can't decide which.
Parker will do what Pop wants. He's said it. If Parker starts, that's on Pop. We all need to get real about this.
Pop calls the shots. You all want to bag on Parker, bag on Pop too.
It's disgusting. Far from my favorite guy personally. He has flaws and they are very noticeable bc he has the ball every posession. At the same time, he's a scapegoat. He will be blamed for every failure by the big 2, watch it happen. It's a shame. Obviously the Manu brigade has spearheaded this, but it's now the LMA/Kawhi fans who blame Tony for absolutely everything that goes wrong with them... I wonder if Pau can take some heat from him.
Yes, I am in the camp to bag on Pop... he's screwed up things often lately there is no other way to put it.
All is fair game, as long as the game is fair.
You are in a meditative sensei mood good sir.
It's not hating saying Tony was a negative player 3 playoffs in a row. I think everyone is trucking tired of him. Wasted Duncan's last years for 's sake.
You're in denial. If this was about simply using the best option, Patty would've been starting in 14 or 15. Parker built up capital with Pop. He wasn't going to just replace him based on a mere calculation.
Good. He needs some rest in the summer...
The way Parker conducts himself and the mistakes he has made in the last two postseasons are enough to draw criticism...Kawhi/LMA have nothing to do with his level of play.
Are we supposed to blame our good players?
Fathead, Dworst, Porker are the top 3 worst players last postseason. WhoTF do people expect to blame?
It's a collective effort bottom line. He gets a share of the blame that is triple the size in comparison. He will remain a scapegoat.
Maybe. Maybe Pop still thinks Parker is better than Patty at running the team.
Are you suggesting that Pop would rather have Patty start, but Parker won't allow him to do it? Parker has Pop completely by the balls on when he plays?
Interesting...
Patty is not a PG and was terrible when asked to play as one. He's clearly a SG, but considering cir stances, Pop may feel compelled to start him. If Kawhi is going to be a true point forward then ok.. but to have Patty as a PG, not a good idea. His role in Australia is microwave scoring. Delly is their playmaker.
Patty Mills isn't a point guard, he is an undersized SG that needs to play beside someone that can create, penetrate and finish. Which are three things that he is below average at (including defense).
Trying to make him the next starter isn't the short-term or long-term solution.
If anything, they should traded Patty and kept Cory Joseph. He had the size, defensive chops and had developed enough to start. It wouldn't have been a perfect fit, since he isn't a quality outside shooter, but a better option than our two current PG's.

Traded Patty? Patty is a top 3 player in the playoffs.
Don't quit your day job. Keeping Cory over Patty is nonsense. And Patty played PG in college; and he does it well in the NBA. It's fine that he defers much to a great playmaker like Ginobili, though, and moves more w/o the ball when he has such a fine shot.
In effect, maybe. I think it can be over-stated though. I don't know that Parker is making demands per say. It probably goes more like Parker bristles when certain notions are brought up; or rather, Pop simply doesn't want to alientate him at this point only to possibly have it backfire. But on paper, Mills is the no brainer to start over Parker. If they were wearing any other uniform, that would be the case.
Okay. I got what you're saying.
Patty sucks
Absolutely false. Having no ball-handling skills or playmaking in your starting backcourt is a disaster.
If Mills and Parker are compared on something like NBA 2K player ratings, I can see Mills having a slight edge. But Patty's skillset is redundant in the starting lineup (he's a shorter Danny Green without the defense) and a Parker/Manu bench pairing doesn't make much sense in this day and age.
Patty just got destroyed by the team Parker beat with a game winner a few days ago.
This is a dude that literally averaged 4 PPG and 2 APG this playoffs against OKC on 42% shooting. It's hard to fathom that level of inep ude in the playoffs.
