    Gambit, do you keep grudges from :nine months ago? It's very strange for you to cite your own thread and then post in this one.

    Do you search threads to bump? Or do you keep a notebook?

    Mills has been destroyed by every single opponent in the playoffs. His defense is worse than Matador Steve Nash

    And he's over 30 midget. "the future"
    Midgets supporting midgets, tbh

    Imagine having a mullet and digging up thru hater old threads just to bump them lmao. Living rent-free

    Patty should play more minutes than TP, that's all that matters. Should keep coming off the bench as long as he plays crunch time and more minutes than TP.
    This at the very least. Patty needs to be our sixth man.

    Only a fool would equate FIBA to NBA and only an antiquated/casual fan, who's consumed with the label of starting, would think Mills should start over Parker.

    Expect another roughly 28/20 split, but I do think Pop will have more of a whoever-is-playing-better closes mentality.

    Either way, this team won't be a serious contender again until they have a guard that's something like the co-second best player on the team.

    First of all, that's a ty post. Second off all, do you mean we don't have a 2/3scoring guard on the team. Like a player. Or do you mean until someone takes that job currently on the team. I wanna know before I go in on this.

    It's a great post and it's clearly written. Obv you think Patty is better than td21. That's fine.

    How can I be wrong? I only stated that I understood the other posters point. I actually do like patty. I have no objection to him starting etc but he needs to earn it. He has not been better than Parker for long periods. Parker is consistent and limited. Patty is inconsistent and limited

    Have you not seen the last 3 playoffs. Parker is playing for the other team. Send Tony to the bench and hope he can have some vintage Tony series.

    It's not even about who's better; it's about who's a better fit to start.

    I know it's mostly trolling, but at anyone who legitimately thinks two shooters, that can't create or make plays, should start together in the back court, alongside a third perimeter player with tunnel vision.

    Why is Tony starting then cause the guy can't make plays better than mills at this point. Atleast mills can space the starting unit. Porker can't even shoot at this point. Not in crunch time atleast.

    Well, that 3rd perimeter player "with tunnel vision" is -now- way better as ball-handler in pick and roll situations than our guards (Kawhi
    1.13 PPP 51.5 FG%, 96.7 percentile Parker 0.89 PPP 47.2 FG% 57.4 percentile Manu 0.67 PPP 36.4 FG% 19.7 percentile)

    Also, Parker's biggest strengths aren't exactly playmaker skills/court vision...

    I can see a lot of P&Rs between Parker-Gasol/LMA in this new regular season but they will become ineffective like those Parker/LMA became in last playoffs.

    That's the real issue. How bad Parker's game will look in playoffs.

    4th best player is Gasol.

    Then Green

    Then Mills

    Then Anderson

    Then that's it.

    In physics and management, there is such a thing called EMERGENCE. When a team becomes more than the sum of its parts.

    And, it is my humble opinion, that this edition of the Spurs will reveal an Emergent system.

    I like that concept. I don't think last season's team ever achieved that point.

    Unless the points per possession encompasses the team and not them individually, those numbers are irrelevant.

    Also, how many did Leonard run in comparison to Parker and Ginobili? Low volume is borderline irrelevant, like Parker's three-point percentage.

    Parker's play making and vision may not be strengths relative to the elite in those areas, but they're still superior to every other perimeter player on the team not named Ginobili.

    I have to believe that Parker knows whats up and is readying himself like never before. Of course hes not as spry as he was but whatever happens it wont be because hes not giving 100%. What I dont see people say is that we needed Parkers points last year. People call it hero ball and selfishness but KL and LMA werent scoring enough and great passing wasnt going to be enough. When we had the beautiful game EVERYONE was passing but with the acquisition of LMA and KLs new iso game the beautiful game had to go by the wayside. This was not Parkers fault.

    Agree here. Duncan just couldn't score post-injury, and Danny's offensive game is meant to be a 5th option.

    Even then, Parker's usage and FGA per 36 were the lowest since his rookie season, while his turnover % was in line with his career average. I expect Parker to have even lower usage and FGA per 36 because Gasol should be the 3rd option, he's an actual offensive threat.

    Parker has been a better 3 point shooter than Mills the last 2 seasons.
    Parker has always been a better creator than Mills.
    Parker has always been a better shooter than Mills.
    Parker continues to hit big shots in crunch time (game-winner over silver medal team).

    Yup plus MVParker is >>>>> the defender Mills is.

    Sure overall Parker is a poor defender but Mills is possibly of the the worst defenders in the history of the round ball

    We're talking about the Spurs...those numbers aren't irrelevant.

    Enough to qualify.

    Not really, even Kyle is a more talented passer than Parker.
