I hate point guards that do not try and get their team mates involved, and Pattrick Mills is becoming one of those players! Seriously does any Aussie point guard know how to pass? Can any of the bigs catch a ball without fumbling it first?? OMG

All Mills is, is fast. He can't shoot. Doesn't know how to run an offense that isn't a 1v1 isolation or pick and roll (however even then he doesn't look to pass). Disappointing.

Joe Ingles is playing like out best player and he probably is! Can do everything well, a team player, and just an all around skilled hustle player. Shoots, rebounds, passes and gives solid effort on defence.

I don't like Patty Mills either, all he is is quick. Cant do anything else... I enjoy Dellavadova playing and Lauren Jackson, both great players. And why isn't Andersen in the NBA, looks like a solid player other than poor shot selection. Anyway.


Did anyone enjoy the US's beating today. The Knicks must be mad, melo never plays like that for them. Haha. 153 was the total points - just Wow! In 10 minute quarters too!!

Given he is playing in the NBA I think he can do more than just "be quick"

I understand that, it's just I don't understand how he got into the NBA, he has a poor shot, he's getting blocked by amateurs and the only thing I'm giving him credit for is his quickness and his layups

His 3pt shot was quite coveted as well from my memory.
But just because he's in the NBA doesn't make him national level for Australia

I think his problem in these olympics is he is trying to do too much. Like without Bogut there he has it in his head that because he is the only NBA player on the Boomers roster he has to be the man 75% of the time down the court. This is the complete opposite of his game and even when playing with the Gails he did not play this way even though he was clearly the best player on the team. I think if he went back to playing a more old school PG and let the shots come to him a little more rather than pushing it all the time both he and the boomers will look and play much better.
