Why take patty off when his hot just to put parker in? Take Green off... F&^% sake!

I don't get it either but pop does it a lot. Patty will be running hot with the highest +/- and then he gets taken off and team momentum stops. He must have a huge point per minute ratio.
Patty on 21pts 6/9fg 5/5ft, 2 reb, 3 asts in just 16 mins

Because his hot streaks are not enough to sustain an offense and he cant create for others?

29 pts on 10/13 fg and still counting 6 rebs 4 asts. The man is a beast. how many times can he prove the haters wrong.

That's one hell of a final quarter, on fire yet under control.
There will be several erections caused by Patty's beastmode antics to today!
Jokes aside, real legit scoreline for a bench warmer, next contract could be interesting.

Stat line won't do justice the impact patty had but here it is:
32pts (10-13 fg,4-5 3fg, 8-9 ft) , 7 rebs, 4 asts, 2 stls, +15.

has gone from strength to strength at the spurs under pop.
such a dangerous shooter.
I'll say it again how fortunate were we to see a guy of Patty's talent level play in the NBL.
He's a free agent at the end of this season and will command multi-year deals in the $4-$5m per year range now, so well done Patty this next contract will set him up for life.

Wasn't his career high (34) but was his best game of career imo. Beast mode seems appropriate today
Yeah he had that 34pts + 12ast game right towards the end of the 2011/12 season which is still the most points ever scored by an Aussie in the NBA.
The scrubs always get a run at the arse end of the regular season but to have a game like this before the all-star break is something else.

He officially found 7th gear today.
Loving your work, Patty!

Good to see him figuring it out today. He didn't make all his buckets difficult on himself. Great to see him cutting, curling, crashing the offensive glass for putbacks, etc. He used to only really be able to score off lots of dribbling and a relatively high useage rate. When you play with intelligent guys like Ginobili, Diaw and Duncan, etc you need to be able to play off them. They will find you.
Had a couple of great two-man-game sequences with Diaw.

And the bobcats may not be the greatest team in the league: but they are one of the best defensive teams, especially at the guard positions.

In the last 3 games Patty has scored 71pts in 68mins (58fg%).
For the season: 24.2 points per 48mins (45th in the NBA). Only one player (Mike Scott, ATL) is scoring more points per 48mins in fewer minutes per game than Patty.
17.84 PER, 2:1 assist:turnover ratio, 46-42-87 shooting percentages, 22nd in steals per 48mins (2.35)...
Ballin'.
Anon, Charlotte are on track to be a playoff team this season, 8th best record in the East.

Eighth best record in the east doesn't say much!! But the shots Patty hit in the fourth quarter he would have scored against most teams because he was using the picks so well and picking his moments.

Paul, Mick is right about Charlotte's D though. Their defensive efficiency is good for 6th in the league.

Two all-beast patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese?
I once saw a lion being fed at the zoo - the way it tore into its meal made me think: That beast is in full patty mode!

he is a beast. he was the top scorer in London Olympics. And when obliged to score, he outplayed the guard combination of Kidd/Paul/William in Beijing Olympics.
its the fact and he's a member of the traditional land owners of Australia, ugh

you just cannot hate Patty. He's a nice guy and a good breed. Plays piano, he entertains and never been a trouble maker.

I've never known a piano player to be an asshole, so there you go.
Irrelevant if he doesn't go beastial at the World Cup and next Olympics for the Boomers.

Sat centre court row 2 behind the scorers benches for the Celtics Vs Spurs last night. Great game even with Parker, Splitter and Ginobli out for San Abtonio. Mills got a fair bit of action and played pretty decent.
