Spurs had a great first half, but playing no D' in the 2nd half at all so far. Pissed in 24 points already in not even 8 minutes.

Anyway, we're the #1 seed right now! Unless we lose the game, which is -PROBABLY- not going to happen. Unless we continue to give up a pace of 36 points per quarter like we are right now.

Mills has been a huge addition to the spurs, two excellent back to back games

Ya me too. I wasn't expecting much out of him, really all I thought he'd give was some decent minutes behind Parker but he's been excellent so far.

Mills have definitely looked more comfortable than I envisioned. The good thing is that when Mills is on the floor, Manu always look for the ball more because he's the playmaker here. Mills become sort of a SG on the offense. When Manu is with Neal, Neal handles the ball a lot and they split playmaking duties. Therefore, Manu doesn't get as many touches as he would when he's with Mills.

Mills right now is showing good quickness and shooting ability. He plays within himself and isn't doing things he's not supposed to do or forcing things. That's the good part. He's running hard, he's doing what Cory Joseph does picking people fullcourt. Let's just say, he's doing what Cory Joseph was supposed to be doing. In that sense, I've been pleasantly surprised with him. But I really like TJ Ford, and I definitely miss TJ's passing and penetration. 2 things Mills doesn't do. Mills right now is looking like a 2 guard in a PG's body. Paired with Manu, he looks awesome.
