On offense you get one more guy that can create off the dribble. But the biggest change would be on D. No weak links out there. Switch on every screen. Make the other team go one on one.
Typically I'd agree since he isnt a 3PT threat but he's been pretty damn good at using others penetration to attack the basket and get easy buckets for himself/others. Then there's the other end.
Fatty just kinda sucks.
He's not gonna have the ball vs GSWs or Rockets or Thunder or Cleveland.
People with their ty lineups.![]()
Kawhi is gonna have the ball. Whatever you think fathead even "brings" is non existent.![]()
Doesnt need to have the ball to contribute.
I turned this game off in the 2nd and just saw the final score

He is a cancer. He can't even close out most regular season games. It's not gonna magically appear in the playoffs.![]()
Mills? Agreed.
You've dipped into rambling now. It's not a good look.
You know Patty is my guy. He's just not bringging it right now, specially not for the kind of money he's making. When he is hitting, I have no problem with him finishing games. But when he's not, I would rather go with someone like Kyle, that at least makes a difference on D.
Why all the blinding hate on KA son? He's doing well.
Fathead > Mills
I've always been in Patty's corner but he's let himself go and he had a pretty low ceiling to begin with.
He's been playing well, yeah. Does he close out? Not really. Are you gonna see stuff that isn't done in the RS happen in the POs?
I'm not hating, and I'm stating my position.

In what way is a fat Mills better than Fathead? I'd like to see some stats or metrics to support that.
He closes out most of the games where as fathead doesn't. Same for playoffs, the ones that mattered.
Look at all of Patty's PO numbers got.![]()

Danny was spectacular in this game as well it must be said. Defensively and he made his shots.
dabom with a meltdown bc Kyle played well is a sad pitiful sight
Those aren't stats or metrics.
Mills wouldn't be closing playoffs games either if the Spurs backcourt was as good as their frontcourt.
There's advance metrics for playoffs got.
I'm glad Spurs started winning when MVP became the starter.![]()

LaMarcus Aldridge had 26 points, and Pau Gasol included a pair of game-sealing free throws among his 14, but it was Green who largely powered the Spurs' comeback from a 23-point first-half deficit.
Not only did Green pump in 17 points of his own, including five 3-pointers, but his defense was a key reason the Thunder could not fire on all cylinders.
His primary assignment was Russell Westbrook. The NBA's reigning MVP had 14 points and nine assists while going a dreadful 5 of 22 from the floor.
Green added two blocks and four steals to his All-Defense kind of night, and it allowed the Kawhi Leonard-less Spurs to contain OKC's All-Star trio of Westbrook, Paul George and Carmelo Anthony into something manageable.
"He must be tired," Gasol said, admiring Green's Friday night. "That's what it takes. We're shorthanded at this point. We're probably missing the best defender in the game Danny is also a good defender. He needs to step up and take the challenge, especially when they have multiple All-Stars.""You've got to start somewhere to turn it around," Gasol said. "It just takes one play at a time."
It is difficult to trace where the comeback began. It might have started with 6:31 remaining in the half, when Aldridge took a pass at the top of the key and drove for a two-handed slam.
That only cut the Spurs' deficit to 43-27. But it showed they weren't going anywhere.
"You just try to play the play at hand and not make the hero play," Aldridge said. "As we played with pace, things changed for us."
By half, the Spurs had climbed within seven points. With 38.7 seconds left in the third, they tied the game on Davis Bertans' third 3-pointer of the quarter.
The game was most definitely on.
"The guys really dug deep, pounded the rock," said coach Gregg Popovich, whose team matched the largest comeback in the NBA this season. "They kept a great at ude and just kept their minds on playing basic basketball and things turned their way."Earlier, in an in-game ESPN interview, Popovich summed up the Spurs' at ude adjustment by saying it went from "poor me to screw you."
Spurs forward Kyle Anderson put it this way: "I think we got a little nastier.""Every win is important, and every win is valuable," Gasol said. "But I think this win definitely tastes very, very good."
