Mills in Spurs vs Lakers

I love the idea of Delly/Mills at some stage for the Boomers, whether it is London or not.

One can catch fire whilst the other plays a distribution role as required. Delly can guard the taller opponent guard...has merits...and love the prospect!

I'd like to point out that as fans, we don't always know what's going on with the team as the game goes on.

Personally, as much as Mills jacked up shots, I'd say put some blame onto Parker and Ginobli - a home game against the Lakers and they play poorly? turnovers, missed shots? hell, look at Bynum - THIRTY rebounds, you can tell there were a LOT of missed shots tonight and they weren't all by Mills.

Also, consider this: if you've been playing for a team for two weeks - one coached by Gregg Popovich, no less - you're shooting yourself in the foot by going out and jacking up shots unless that's exactly what he's told you to do.

Pointing out data, e.g. FGM/A, is not hating. The data is irrefutable.

Making observations about data - e.g. "Mills missed X of his last Y shots" - is not hating.

Scrutinising a poor performance is not hating.

However, deriding someone's performance based on your opinion of the context it was made in = hating.

Now can we please just get back to the topic at hand.

Looking at the play by play, it didn't look like a good performance today. However, the game was well in the Lakers grasp by the start of the 4th - Parker and Ginobli also had poor games (the latter committing FOUR turnovers, where Mills had none, and no fouls).

I guess it's possible Pop sent him out to rest Parker, and gave him the green light to shoot - if he caught fire, then it could've ignited the Spurs, and brought his starters back on.

The data definitely doesn't look good, but then, aside from Duncan and Green, none of the Spurs played well today.

Spurs getting spanked though, and Mills just jacking up shots.
