Career best night for Patty Mills!

[Kieran]

Talk about coming of age. 27 points, started, 35 minutes.. a number of career highs in one night. Yes the Phoenix team they were playing may as well not have showed up, but it's great to see one of our Aussies who has worked so hard to be putting up good numbers consistently as a member of the Spurs.

I want to be alone! [/zanshadow]

It may have come in a meaningless game, but it's nice to see him getting a run. Hopefully the opportunities for significant minutes will be there in the future, too.

God, I miss that ID but had to abandon it as it was my email ID for the resume. Darn googling was leading to this forum where I was caught in a flamewar. Last thing I want my possible employers to see. Lolz.

But it's my first online game ID ever and I still use it to this day. ZenShadow was taken so had to go with it tho.

As for the topic, great job, Patty whoever you are.

Looks like he's on pace for a similar night against the tanking warriors... he has 18 pts and 5 assists with 8 mins to go in the 3rd.

Good to see Patty getting the minutes he deserves

[jettdaking!]

watch out for this guy next season or maybe even in the playoffs

round 2, pick 55, woah, he could be another Ginobili story soon

Let's not go overboard, he didn't exactly play against good competition.

...Although he didn't even put up numbers like this in the NBL lol

As Nick said, let's not get ahead of ourselves. Hopefully it leads to more opportunities in the future, be it with the Spurs or someone else. Unless he lands in a situation like Jeremy Lin did though, on a team where he can get those kind of minutes and a chance to put up good numbers on a regular basis, it's likely going to be a little while longer before he gets his big break in the NBA, if at all.
