Patty “machine gun” Mills

lmao

[GreekSpursfan]

Every team just attacks the rim against us and we immediately look like a lottery team which we should be tbh

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

Play the young guys!!!

I hate that Pop ruined Patty Mills for me. Use to be one of my favorite players of all time until Pops love affair with him soured my view.

Lmao, I feel the same ing way, but it's even worse. My girlfriend occasionally watches Spurs games with me, and for some reason, she's really attached to Chucky Mills, and gets hyped every time he's on the court or makes a shot. It was endearing at first, but I've really grown to resent that man and his negative impact to the team - and of course it's impossible to explain just how detrimental he is, to a casual fan, that just goes "but he's making shots when no one else is, see?". Just infuriating tbh.

The Spurs totally have the personnel to run in the half-court. They just can't do it AND play the way "star" Murray wants to play. He needs to stop being a primary ball-handler and scoring option. He basically has to score at an unsustainable level to justify the touches he takes right now. I don't know how many possessions in the first half turned fell apart as soon as Murray touched the ball and decided to iso or call a PnR. That in particular needs to get out of his game. If he just attacked when he had the advantage, made cuts, shot open threes and got rebounds and put-backs, I think he'd be doing really well. But there's zero-reason for him to be running the show with DeRozan on the court. He's not as good at passing or scoring, so it's basically just the team getting a worse DeMar for those possessions.

I don't know why folks think young guys isoing is somehow better than vets doing it. The vets at least have a history of being good at it to fall back on. I personally don't want to watch Johnson barrel into the paint to get his shot blocked anymore than I want to watch Gay get his post-up blocked.

I already busted this myth of yours that DJ is some ballhog yet you still insist on spitting this lie.

[Dejounte]

Mason Jones was the guy I wanted with our second round. Sigh

[Dejounte]

Here's another perspective:

The Nets, who have 2 superstars, only have a 2 pt lead over the Magic.

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

Vassell having another solid game and showing he can do more on offense than shoot open three pointers

[8sy21vd]

Ready for a LMA-Gay-Demar-Patty closing lineup

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

Here's another perspective:

The Nets, who have 2 superstars, only have a 2 pt lead over the Magic.

your boy Mason Jones looks good but it is against our defense so take his performance with a grain of salt. Lol

Are the Magic also missing like 6 players and only have 8 players suited up? I haven't been keeping up.

[Dejounte]

KJ learning the turnaround J from DeMar? Needs more polish... Basically choreographed his spin move lmao
