"Patty Mills is trash"-- Rob Diaz

[dabom]

Lol, you telling me to off when I'm the one giving you the juice for this ride.
Just make sure you're over 55" for this one, okay?


Now: GO.

Where you ing when we were up 25 with Patty out there with Kawhi?

You don't need to answer.

No I don't. Stupid questions don't need answers. Carry on, big boy.

Patty spaces the floor and gets you offense against bench players. Not so much when he's got really good defensive player guarding him.

[Hoops Czar]

"He's a fine PG...."

No, he's a good back-up combo guard when playing the appropriate role of scorer off the bench. He isn't able to effectively run a NBA offense as a starter. Doesn't have the vision, handles or all-around scoring ability.

He went from a fine pg to a fine pg on a non-contender. Elnono's still the king of goalpost moving. Any team that has Patty running the offense is looking to tank for the draft lottery.

[Hoops Czar]

You need experience too. Some of ya are little insufferable es. No one was complaining when we were winning vs GSW and we had Patty.

Broke ass player going 1-8 from three

Getting schooled by a rookie

The real reason the Spurs blew a 23 point lead.

Some players are better at going up against starting units, others make careers out of playing against other bench players. Another reason to really appreciate what Duncan and Parker gave us for nearly 2 decades.....

[Ice009]

The Spurs already knew this. It took an injury to Parker to show a few idiots on this board.

Need to keep him and play him in the correct role. He needs the right people around him. Pop needs to apologize to him for having to put him in the spot. Mills sacrificed for the team.

Apologize to him? My goodness man, what are you guys on?

Mills averages something like 4-5 ppg in the playoffs. He's not even good in that undersized shooting guard role. Why the f#$k do people want him back? Especially for the salary, he is likely to get? I'd rather have Cojo for the money he's getting paid 10/10 times.

[therealtruth]

Hard to score on an all-defense level player. He has to at least keep Klay Thompson working on defense.

I LOVE MILLS but I hate to say this I agree Mills is not a starter for a playoff team. However he is a great bench player for the right price I would bring back..but to me on this team we only have one starter and that is Kawhi and a maybe his Beta LMA.

VarsityTeam
1. Kawhi
2. LMA???

Manu he would be a starter if he was younger.

JV Team:
1. Simmons
2. Gasol
3. Green
4. Mills
5. Deadmon
6. Bertans
7. Murray
8. Lee

Freshman Team
1. Forbes
2. Anderson

Thanks for the recognition bruh.

Another enlightened poster just calling it as he sees it from a long time ago; amazing vision when others were jerking off Patty.

Can you stop with the emojis? Unless youre a 11 year old girl then its fine. And we're 5 games in. Get a grip. The reality is patty will have to be a spark off the bench for sa to ring. Danny green has had stretches just as bad.

[urunobili]

Who is number 8 and what has he done to Patty Mills?

He ate him.

There were reports out that Mills himself thinks he's a starting caliber PG when free agency discussions were brought up earlier in the season. He said he wants to start at PG in the NBA. That's when a bunch of us said no way in heck do we want him getting paid big money and starting at PG for the Spurs. If that's what he wanted, a bunch of us wanted nothing to do with it.

He's an undersized shooting guard. I'd rather use that money on an actual sized shooting guard that can play defense and get to the rim. If it was me, I wouldn't pay Mills anything more than 6 million a year. I'm just worried that his piss poor playoffs has brought his price down into the Spurs' range.

I'm Australian and I don't really want him back at all (unless it's for 6 million or less). Great, great guy, but after his performance in the playoffs, I am now starting to feel that Kawhi is becoming a player of Tim Duncan's caliber and the Spurs have to do everything they can to surround him with a team that can compete for Championships. Can't waste money on undersized shooting guards. Try and get a real sized shooting guard instead that plays defense and can get to the rim.



Man, yet another person bringing up how "huge" he was in '14. He was not huge at all. He was very, very average in the first 3 rounds of the playoffs (8th or 9th man at best), and then he had 3 good finals games (game 3, 4 and 5). Those last three games are the only games anyone seems to remember.

He could not hit a shot to save his life in the OKC series before the finals. He was really bad outside of the second half of game 6 in that series.

Apologize to him? My goodness man, what are you guys on?

I have no idea what the Spurs front office were thinking. I mean, Gasol had to come back as he was still guaranteed another season before the opt out, but they really didn't need to bring Mills back at all.

[BackHome]

Man if Mills keeps sucking I don’t want Pop to kill old Man Manu by giving him more reps then his body can handle. I wanna see more of White at PG and Paul at SG

[TimDunkem]

He's primarily a "culture" guy in a "leadership" role now if everything PATFO has said about bringing him back is true. It was more about his fit than his skills. Unfortunately, what skills he did have seem to have diminished to the point where his "culture and leadership" don't make him a good fit anymore; poor shooting and bad defense doesn't work here.
