sarcasm is sometimes difficult to understand

"4 points is not proving the haters wrong...."

If you watched the game you'd realise he wasn't looking for his shot, he was distributing the ball and making plays for his teammates.

One assist because his teammates didn't make their shots.

There is always one twat who talks shit. Patty is in the NBA for a reason, and the haters are cocksmoking keyboard heroes for a reason.

GWB - Well said.

You're racist.

Great court vision that time he found Greg Popovich spotting up in the corner.

If only he made that shot, Patty would have had another dime.

And they say corner threes are the most efficient way to score...

Stop being so un-Australian, anon. Patty's a champ

His most recent game wasn't so flash but overall can't deny he is in great form this month.

hate or love, but the fact he's still in NBA only prove that people employing him see things that we don't. scoring 20 points in NBA is not a joke. try it but try first if they will like what you have.

Can the mods please deal with the un-Australian Patty Mills haters who are infiltrating my thread. Thanks.

#206 - Mills has already averaged double figures over a season (year one with the Spurs where he came in late during their end of season purple patch lockout shortened season). So he already has become the third Aussie to do so, he's looking to be the second Aussie to do it twice.

get use to it pattymillsfan. they are part of any forum anywhere. just facts versus facts is the game. we're talking of Patty Mills but obviously they don't want. maybe they want their own players to be talk about.
well, just unprecedented for an Aborigine like Patty to be where he is now. Securing contracts, getting court minutes and playing well. And he's not that tall to last in the league of giants.

Also, he led the Boomers to 2 consecutive Olympics, earned respect from NBA superstars and became the topscorer in London Olympics (Durant was no. 2).

Had a great college ball in US NCAA too. That at one time outplaying Step Curry. Mills could have a better NBA career but we didnt see much push, aside from his Patty Cakes' and towel waving at the bench.

I think Mills averaged 9p in the shortened season so this would be his first in double figures. Won't be his last though.

Paul...you're not the authority on everything mate. I live on leage pass, I'm telling you he was over 10 on the regular season, don't even need to check the stats.

Paul, thanks for Creek stats earlier. I looked up Mills stats in 2011/12 he played 16 games and did avg 10.3ppg a game which did include season ending 34 pt in final reg season game (parker rested)but in that same years playoffs he averaged 1.9ppg in 3.9mins. Maybe this will be the year he breaks through in the playoffs.

Patty Mills 2011/12: 24 games, 180 points, 7.5ppg

@Steven - yeah, if you take out his playoff games form the above you could given him double figures for his 16 regular season games.

@Paul, good point.

You'd be the first person I know Paul who when speaking of season stats combines regular season and playoffs.

He average 10 on the season, case closed. Remarkable achievement I say, even thought it was because the Spurs were winning games by 30 odd during that stretch and the bench warmers got burn halfway thru the 3rd onwards.

GARPH..


G.A.R.P.H = Gutless Anonymous Racist Patty Haters.
So now when some anonymous dick gets on a Patty Mills thread we shall refer to them as a GARPH.
That is all

Let's call a spade a spade. If patty was a 6ft tall white Australian and did what he is doing he'd be a legend regardless of what he does.

I just looked at his totals which were only 24 games.

Regardless how you look at it, I don't think we should confuse 2012 with this season, he is at a much higher level now, doing it in games that matter against opponents who are genuine NBA talent.

The best thing is he is still young and his best years are ahead of him, it's pretty exciting now that the basketball IQ is starting to catch up with the physical talent.

Didn't he go 2-14 from the field this game?

Yes, yes Paul I agree this season is far better than 2012. He is now a regular part of the rotation, has a reliable floater to use when the bigs are in drops when on pick and rolls and gets beaten off the dribble far less than he used to.

But's that not what we were talking about, we were discussing his regular season averages. How hard is it to admit you were wrong?

agree Curtley. Tbird, Kobe Bryant once made 3/20 and CBosh 1/18. Popovich entrusted Patty Mills to keep on firing. The coach knows far more than we can.

OMG, "garph" is now trending on twitter.

Na, not really, it was one of the dumbest things I've ever read.

Stop taking jabs at people all the time, Situation.

You look like an immature grade 10 prick trying to pick on others for fun; not a very endearing trait.

Don't come back with hate. I'm actually doing you a service.

How are you doing me a service?

If people are going to cry racism for no reason, I'm going to call them stupid. Simple as that. The fact that he tied it up in to an acronym just made it even dumber.

But thanks for the advice.

Look up the meaning of coward, doesn't at all apply to this issue.

See while I agree with you -- I actually think it's counterproductive to bring up race when not in context -- I don't agree with the way you treat people on this forum.

My comment neither stated nor implied anything about racism. It was simply about the way you treat people here.

Based on your recent history on this site, you seem to be a very angry man who finds a hobby in arcing up at things/people. And while you seem like a very switched on person, this anger/narcissism clouds your judgement.

All I'm saying is 'stop putting people down'.

are people seriously calling the "racist" card here...
do we really think if he was a white australian the media in australia would give a F still.

this country couldnt care less about the sport we love.

bogut got a shout out on radio once this year for having 12 boards. thats the only time i have heard anything NBA related on ozzy radio or TV.

although i dont listen to the radio or watch network tv. to busy watching League pass and my clippers on the way to a title :)

If people continue to bring the stupid, I'll keep responding. If they don't like it, they can stop being stupid. Eventually, there'll be less stupid and we'll all be better off. You can thank me later.

So you call me a 'f***head' and a 'coward' and then when I put you in your place, you won't apologise to me? Shows great character, Situation.

Hate to use the word again, but you're being narcissistic in that response.

Q: Do you honestly think insults will aid the problem?
A: No, their initial reaction will be to think you're a tosser and either ignore you or hit back.

You need to think proactively if you want to change peoples' behaviours.

Anon, put a name to your post and I'll finish the story which you half-told. Funnily enough, it started with Curious revealing personal and private information about posters. Good to see you're going down the same path.

"So you call me a 'f***head' and a 'coward' and then when I put you in your place..."

When did this happen? All you did was use my real name.

"... you won't apologise to me?"

For what?

I'm done here, Situation.

You actually do entertain us half the time with your little quips, but the other half is the problem. Bit of a shame.

"He is now a regular part of the rotation, has a reliable floater to use when the bigs are in drops when on pick and rolls and gets beaten off the dribble far less than he used to."

Spot on Swagger, plus he is doing it all within the system rather than taking whatever shots appear and relying on getting hot. It's great to see.

"I agree with you"
"you seem like a very switched on person"
"I do find some of your comments amusing."
"Good work buddy."
"You actually do entertain us half the time with your little quips"

Thanks man, I appreciate the positive feedback.

So still not admitting you were wrong to correct me Paul?

How far do you have your head up your arse mate? Lost a lot of respect for you here.

Swagger, if he is really pissing you off, just post his real name.....oh wait....

I love what Paul does for the NBL, he is a great asset for the league. I've just got the shits with him trying to correct me twice, then refusing to acknowledge it.

Swagger, if you look at post 459720 I acknowledged his regular season scoring average in those 16 games was double figures.

I hope you feel less aggrieved now.

That should read: post 459270
