WTF got into him? Is he just in better shape? I remember someone posting a pic of him during the AUS-USA games leading up to the WC and he looked ripped. Credit where credit is due, he's having a of a season. First year since like 2015 that I dont dread seeing him run up to the scorer's table. Massive upgrade over Forms, tbh.
That's pretty much where I am. He's picked it up since the beginning of the season. He's still not good on defense by any means, but he's putting in more effort, and he's def better than Forbes. You're right - give credit where it's due. It's a lot more than one game. He's been consistently better for a while. It's a lot easier to hate him but he's needed on this squad.
He is still hit or miss though. He's had a lot of bad games this year as well
He's been great and his presence would be even easier to stomach if they didn't have both Forbes and Belinelli(until recently) in the rotation with him. There's no issue with having 1 player of that nature in your rotation, most teams do. Having 3 of them is just dumb,though.
Best scoring and most efficient season in his career. He's been great thus far.
Also, his unwavering positivity might just hold this team together until they get it figured out. Lots of teams start the finger pointing and by all accounts, they're focused on getting better. I credit him with much of that.
Yeah that’s where I’m at. I have no problems with Patty. I have problems having 2 other worse Pattys being in the rotation.
Worth every penny of that contract right now, tbh.
There are lots of guys on this team who are underperforming, but Mills isn't one of them.
nail on the head tbh
We are so close to having a decent team tbh. Patty has had an incredible year and has improved so much from last year. I'm kinda glad though that Pop is tanking by his coaching though bc we don't have a starting SF and the only way to get one of those is to draft one. Secondary thing is that DeRozan will probably opt out as well so there's another win.
He got married an is happy. That's all!!!! Good poohcey will change a man.
In his role as the Microwave, he's great. Showed it on the Oz team as well. Especially when he is in shape and fully healthy. But he's a role player who needs stars around him to really shine. The problem was when the team paid him money that gave the expectation of a starting PG.
He's solid at the moment, but I expect him to the bed when they need him the most. Still way better than Firmes and Belli though.
Have somebody carve that into the rock, and then pound it up Pop's ass.
FIBA Patty is a different animal tbh. This is the best version of Mills that I've seen since 2014. He's way more consistent with his shooting. I guess the world cup got him in some kind of rhythm early and has benefited his game during the season. His hustle plays on defense help offset the points that he gives up as well. Patty always draws a charge or gets a steal. Definitely worth the contract right now
He is a very good backup PG and maybe on the right team he could be a starter, he is just overpaid here.
Remember det time the forum was ready to trade Mills because Forms looked better to start the year. I was definitely one of those peeps so he’s definitely proven me wrong.
Really wish White and Murray were more consistent so that Pop isn’t using Mills to close out games guarding the other guard superstars
Guilty as charged. I was making stupid comments like "Forms is the player Pop wishes his pet Wombat was". Little did I kow.
U guys shd credit Pop, Manu and Parker for retaining him..
Gone are the good old days when Mills was the problem.
The bar is low nowadays.
Probably with more playmakers, he just had to go back to be a gunner than trying to playmake which sets him in his comfort zone. Just like last game when Murray was out and he needs to run the 2nd team, his performance level drops.
this clowns culture...now forbes know what to do, to stay on the team, let alone stealing minutes from younger players.....wave that towel
He's been a beast this year, cant hate on Wombat at all. if only Pop would bench his other pet ala Marco we'd be in good shape
forbes is also getting paid a quarter of what mills is getting. its relative
He is definitely in better physical shape.
We weren't calling him Fatty Mills for no reason, but he looks to have cut out some of the excess.
