All of the Patty haters who comment on this site should read the above article. They will then realise that they have no understanding of what an NBA team and coach want and maybe then they will shutup.

Just because someone criticises a certain thing doesn't mean they hate it. 9/25 isn't a good FG%. It's pretty clear.

Judging Patty's performance by purely looking at his FG% is pretty darn ignorant.

His True Shooting Percentage (TS%) was 0.502, which is neither fantastic nor terrible for a point guard.

Shooting 6/11 on treys carries a lot of weight due to the extra point value.

Not to mention Mills also had 6 assists to 0 turnovers, 2 steals and a plus/minus of +26 (second highest for the Spurs).

As 'Anon12' pointa out: there is more to basketball than just the box score.

Today Mills and Bogut combined for 30 points, 10 boards and 7 assists. Kind of like a slightly above average game for Lebron James.

Mozgov had 29 rebounds up against Bogut in the other game today...

We aren't judging his performance, we are judging his field goal percentage.

Anons debating the semantics of their ignorant comments. Wonderful.

You can't see the difference between "9/25 is pretty shit" and "Patty Mills played pretty shit because he shot 9/25"?

I can see the difference, but let me remind you:

"purely looking at his FG% is pretty darn ignorant."

I don't agree with the premise that shooting a higher field goal percentage is unequivocally better than shooting a relatively low FG%. I also don't believe that there's no judgement on your part based on Patty's FG%.

He just topped scored in an NBA game as a starter, think we should all be pretty happy with that.

How may times do you see the top players over there getting really high scores but shoot a rubbish percentage. Carmelo Anthony does it all the time.
