First two games he is averaging 3.5ppg at 18.2% from the field (15.5 minutes per game).
Definitely needs to lift, and I hope he does.

"Patty chokes in big games"
What 'big games' are you referring to?
How many games have you seen him play this season?
Patty has had a great season and a number of times he got the Spurs over the line when they were struggling. His first two post-season games are definitely no good, but I am confident that he will soon make the 'choke / hack' comments look stupid.
regarding: Patty's %
I haven't watched today's effort. But game 1 he was 1 of 4. 2 of those misses were long distant launches in the dying seconds of the quarter time buzzer.
Go Patty Mills!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Like I said, haven't seen the game yet and you can't judge his game on that stat alone.
It's reasonable to expect that the Spurs will go deep into the playoffs, so its still just the beginning. (for whatever reason Patty has not done very well against the Mav's this season, everyone has a bogey team)

I wouldn't call a 2 game sample an accurate guide. He had a shocker today but so did the team, see how he goes over the whole series.

He's never played in the playoffs before. Wait until their run is over or his poor production is actually hurting his team before you judge him.
Mick,
Patty's played more than 20 playoff games before with the Spurs & Blazers but this is the first time he's played meaningful minutes in the playoffs.
Patty chokes in big games?! You obviously haven't watched him in th Olypics/World Championships and College!

That's what I meant anon. He's never actually been in games before with a definable role and something at stake.

Its Patty's team, TD and TP are just decoys.... Please just let the guy play his role. He isnt a superstar but he is decent in spurts. So many threads on his every move.

kobe24: considering he is the only Australian playing minutes in these playoffs, wouldn't it be par for the course that he is a trending topic on an aussie hoops forum?

Mick its not just the playoffs, its when he brushes his teeth... IN THE OFFSEASON! Its a bit much, ok player, but just had enough of sifting through the Mills threads.

If people are sick of seeing Mills threads no one is forcing them to read them.
Fill Smythe - can you please explain what the difference is between an anonymous post and posting with a made up name?
Some handles are also anonamous, however an email account can be registered with the provider therefore not quite anonymous. If there is an image as well then the authority behind the site knows the identity by email and possibly name as well.

Patty is the man. Always at least one hater on here. 2 game sample is ridiculous he has been insane this season.

A lot of you should be ashamed with your posts.
Patty is a great ambassador for our game here in Australia.
Regardless of who you follow in the NBA, we should give him our unwavering support.
He brings a lot of exposure to Basketball in Australia.
Go Patty.

Better game today from Patty. 10 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals in 20 minutes. Road win in Dallas.

Very good game by Patty and the Spurs. Way to bounce back.
