Obviously I don't expect him to continue hitting 70% of his attempts (extremely small sample size), but wow, my first impression is that this kid can really shoot.

Pop's always had an exceptional eye for foreign talent. This could be his next success in a long line of them.

This needed its own gd thread?

Please ttt this when he disappears in the playoffs

Bynum imploding

Really? With all the **** you post on this board, you thought it would be appropriate to reprimand somebody else?

There are 738592&295027?7462 Spurs threads.

You start this useless one cuz some dude has an average nba game against the 2nd worst team in the league.

There. Is. A. Spurs. Thread.

I'll say it. Mills is the best Aboriginal basketball player of all time.

thumbs up for a kid with an Irish name, that is Australian

how the fook did he not have a spot on the roster before the two crap sips? Joseph will never play in the league and TJ FORD was bailed out by is insurance policy

major improvement

The Spurs needed Mills so they could send 5 guys on the floor, all from different countries outside the U.S.

Australia
France
Argentina
Brazil
St. Croix

1) Why the **** do you care how many threads I start?
2) Why would the discovery that it bothers you do anything other than encourage me to start more?

He was under contract with his chinese team,so he couldn't play in the nba until that was satisfied. There were a bunch of teams that wanted him, but he chose the Spurs because coach Brown is the aussie national team head coach.

I have decided Simplybay is possibly the king of all TexAgs trolls. He thinks of the most dewshey/annoying/pointless/inflammatory thing he can say at any given point and then says it. He is not creative or even subtle, all he does is try and make a scene. He is like a 6 year old.

Yet you people can't help yourselves. You're just throwing fuel on the fire. Compulsively.

no most people ignore him like the top ramen section of the rocery rore

It continues to be a good time for us Spurs fans

Knock on wood...

Today, he made 9-20 FGs (4-9 from 3pt land) for 26 points, had 6rebs, 2 assists, and 2 steals against Team USA (he plays for Australia).

Did okay against the UK too

http://espn.go.com/olympics/summer/2012/basketball/men/boxscore?gameId=1067

Box: 14-22 (5-7 from 3) for 39 points, 5rebs, 2 assists, and a steal

Very nice pick up for the Spurs. Not a bad roster:

Point Guard - check
Guard - check
Small Forward - Check
Power Forward - Check
Center - Check

Now, this roster will have a full season to play together. Please stay Healthy!!!

Sports do not build character...they reveal it.

don't take too much stock in the olympics. There's a reason he's been a bench warmer in the nba. Freaking Linas Klieza looked like jesus christ during the olympic tournament

Ttt for the Patty Mills no show in the playoffs.

To be fair, Dbagbay's post was in 2012.

But yeah... as Jeff Van Gundy gushed in the 4th quarter of Game 5: "THAT. MAN. CAN. SHOOT."

Patty was f'n nails for the Spurs. By the time they subbed Tony back in late in the 3q of Game 5, Mills +/- was +21, and TP's was zero.
