Hey Chump remember me
There ain't nothing wrong with saying San Antone. The song, Amarillo by Morning, was written by a guy from Amarillo driving back from San Antonio. Of course the song was popularized by a guy from Pearsall which is right next to San Antonio. A lot of people get the idea of saying San Antone from the song which is fine, but its been a part of the Panhandle vocabulary for a long time. Just linguistic variety I guess.
That being said, saying the "San Antone Spurs" just sounds weird. I may occasionally use San Antone in my speech but it is just awkward to type it or use it in reference to my favorite bb team.
Either way, somebody telling you how you are supposed to pronounce the name to their city is just stupid. I am sure most people in San Antonio pronounce Amarillo with an "o" sound instead of an "ah" sound as the locals do. Who the really cares. Say San Antone if you want.
And I like Patty Mills as a potential long term backup.

Hey Chump remember me
I think this is going to be 3/3 on slick deals for the Spurs FO recently.
not sure if reported yet but according to ESPN, Mills should be on the bench tonight..
yep, officially playing im told
Welcome to the forums!!Please add me to the list of new Spurs fans due to the signing of Patty Mills. The Spurs not only picked up a handy young back up pg, but they just added another 20 odd million fans from down under to go with.
Oh, you'll need to get used to this -
Always nice to gain 20 million Spurs fans
What I like best about this kid is his at ude. Tbh, we needed the infusion of some spark plug personality...with Jack and now Mills, I think we got it!!
He played some OK minutes for having been with the spurs for less than a day. No mistakes.
yeah nash raped him ealry but nice for him to get his feet wet
He looked like Roger Mason Jr out there. Not like his skills, but his physical appearance.
This.
It's going to be interesting how Mills gets use to the Spurs offense and defense, I really liked his energy on the defensive end tonight.
He defense on Nash wasn't spectacular or anything but it was nice seeing somebody with energy going around screens and such. Unlike Neal who was just terrible tonight.
I'm concerned about his feet, lol I actually think they are too short and they are too fast to try to get into position with longer players..
I had to bump this.
Way to be unconventional and NOT bandwagon on the big name players goPatty...TwelveGs210, go eat a heaping serving of crow now.
Mills was super tonight..his lateral movement is superb.
This team has sick depth.
Go Patty Go!!
The "playoff roster" isn't a thing anymore, at least for the 15 full contracts. Dunno how two-way guys would factor in, though.
Maybe he's not on the roster at all by playoff time.
Of course, I don't know any team that would take that ridiculous contract at this point
that ridiculous contract. I was trying to convince people here that the Spurs shouldn't re-sign him at all before free agency started. I don't really want to go back and relive my thoughts/rants/anger in that thread after 12:01am when it was announced that he's coming back.
16.7%
damn, how this scrub really been on the Spurs for 5 years???
I remember 2012...when Patty was skinny and waved a mean towel.
Terrible jokes again, he was still "fat" at this point.
You can do better.
WAY TO GO, PATTY!
