San Antonio’s spiritual leader: How Patty Mills rode the rollercoaster and kept his Spurs afloat

[timtonymanu]

Mills is a good guy. Unlike Pau, I can actually buy that he’s a positive experience in the lockerroom. But his on court play can be straight up toxic with his bad defense, shot clock unawareness, streaky shooting, etc.

The Spurs had one good year from him and he’s been worse ever since. From Finley and Bonner to Mills, Pop and his love affair with those guys but I don’t remember them ever being as expensive as Mills is.

so he must be in the front office or in the staff, he has no argument on a court playing basketball

He could be the next Spurs Coyote. I don't think anything screams Spurs culture like the Coyote. He could retire and come off the cap, and then the Spurs could pay him $12.5M a year to be the Coyote. Everybody wins.

Thank you for this. I was beginning to think the Spurs are heading in the right direction, but I was wrong.

spurs should be building a team to win every year

not a fkn team full of wankers who fall into line due to culture..fck that , fans dont want teams to be treadmill teams making up the numbers

Love the way those midgets hog the limelight while their best player gets shunted into the background.

Good ol’ Patty Mills being so useless on the court. But I’m sure some dumbasses in here will continue saying his coffee buying for teammates is what we pay him 50 million for.

Why did we give him $50 mills tbh?

Patty has been fine this year. He’s still overpaid and flawed, but he did pretty good. Problem is Pop feels forced to play him too much for some reason.

Well yeah, that's why everybody wants him off the team. As long as he's here and Pop is coaching, he'll always get 5-10 mins too many. That kills you in the playoffs tbh.
