lucky guess tbh...
He never had that kind of role in Chicago. He was more of a curl off screens off-the-ball and shoot mid range jumpers kind of guy.
No he doesn't.

Nah, Aerospace Engineering student. Not bad at all. Also enjoy watching soccer as well as playing sports. Four year varsity basketball/football athlete in high school. I've actually had a good and blessed life.
Completely disagree. Neal could barely bring the ball up. Beli can pass.
Outside the Big 3...shame on you Spurs, TOSB saving the day.
Please show evidence of that. Beli is not an upgrade at all over Neal in the "PG" department.
Better to win an ugly one that Hand them a game. Need to be much sharper for game 2..
All of Mills' high scoring games have come from him being the main ball handler, and him being in charge of running the offense. What we saw tonight was Bellineli and Mills camping out at the corner three whilst watching Manu over-dribbling the ball. You could tell that Mills was uncomfortable with not having the freedom the create his own shot. I wonder if this was something that Pop decided.
He always been a good passer, in NO, playing for Italy... he's more known for his wild range, but like every good European, he can pass and play the team game.lucky guess tbh

I doubt the Spurs thought that was "accidental"...
gary is gonna lead the bobcats to the second round. MARK THE TAPE.
3/17 from downtown is pathetic. So is getting outplayed by the Mavs' bench.
Clean it up in game 2, Spurs. Jesus.
Beli posted a career high 179 assists with the Spurs this season. Neal's best assist season with the Spurs produced 129 assists.
Manu will still run the backup PG when Mills is struggling like tonight, but the Spurs will have more options when Manu becomes the focus of the other team's D... I thought that was the plan all along...
Even the Heat having troubles early to the Bobcats tbh
Number of assist doesn't make him a better ball handler. Especially when you factor in the fact TP missed more games this season than normal which equated to more opportunities. Beli is not an upgrade defensively (or it's negligible) or in the PG department.
It took one game to show that we still need old Timmy to get things done. He was great today, offensively and defensively. He is still our best player BY FAR.
Dallas defended the 3 very well today. Very difficult win, but I'll take it.
It makes him a better passer, which has been my argument all along. It's somebody you can give the ball to and make a sound decision without chucking a long shot. We have Mills for the long chuck.
Here's the basic question for Nono: Do you think Manu has handled traps/pressure well in the playoff environment in the past year or two?
That doesn't help with the issue that caused Manu to have one of the worst playoff performances ever: lack of ball handling against pressure. If your argument is that even though Manu is paid to be that person and used to be able to do that, they brought in Mills/Beli to do that, the fact they can't doesn't make the situation better.
It's not an overreaction. It's a legit concern. Spurs almost won despite that, but it's an issue.
I don't think he has against teams with dominant P&R defense, which are the minority and it's somewhat expected. He's not the devilish guy that could split screens anymore. In general, I think he's done an above average job.
But it's clear the Spurs can't rely on him to be the sole producer of game for the entire bench, thus bringing another guy that can pass and make plays makes sense. Diaw also helps on that department (despite his poor game today).
Some people will agree with this, some people might not. That's fine. Everybody is en led to their opinion.
Disagree, it does. Now you don't have to be stuck with Manu being the only guy that can drive and kick, or run a P&R with Tiago while everybody else stands around. Of course it helps.
No, because no one they brought in is any better. Not to mention they all won't be on the floor together.
Disagree, and stated why. They were on the floor together today. Beli didn't play well, but that can change.
Let's hope so
