Surgery messed him up.
I don't know what it is but, Let's count it
3.67 ppg
On 28.5 % shooting this series. Ouch
Surgery messed him up.
+5
Pretty much the same stats as in 2014 WCF vs OKC
3.5 ppg and .308 from 3.
I think OKC is a bad match up for him
Patty is what he is: a streaky volume shooter. He's not a traditional point guard, he's undersized on defense, but he makes up for that with his energy, tenacity, and ability to shoot from anywhere.
When he is hot, the Spurs are damn near impossible to beat. When he is not, he'll be putting up these 2-8 efforts that make him look like a liability on offense. Consistency is his problem, as it usually is with all distance gunners.
He's still shooting 42% and is essentially the Spurs second-best shooter (Tony's 50% on 4 shots notwithstanding). I think it's a little early to be throwing him under the bus.
Consistency is what separates a lot of bench players from starting lineups.
Before the injury, Patty was one of those guys who could come into a game and score a flurry of points. Obviously not every time - but often enough. I don't have any hard stats, but it doesn't seem like he's that guy anymore. I don't know if he can't, or if Pop has convinced him to play a different way. But it's nice to have a guy who can pop into a game and change the momentum in a 5 minute stretch.
Other than that, he's doing just about what a guy in his role and salary level should be doing. I think a lot of people expect an All-Star team that fits under the salary cap.
Maybe we shoulda kept CoJo?
I think he still got it, results is different due to the style of play. Spurs play more isolation now compare to past years, less open shots for him and other shooters. The only time they will get open is when opponents starts to double team. Against OKC, the only time he will see floor is when Westbrook goes to the bench.
One series.He had some awful playoff series 2 years ago in his prime.
