    We have double the rebounds they have. That's crazyawesome.

    Can someone who is watching that game tell me how Patrick Mills looks? I kept hearing about him in the first quarter of the broadcast, but had to leave before I could watch him.

    The kid plays like Monta Ellis if you ask me.

    Fast as hell and a good finisher with either hand.

    Plays pretty good pressure defense as well.

    He is sort of like Monta but I'd label him as more of a Tony Parker-Nate Robinson hybrid. Maybe Jason Terry is a good comparison? Hes a good athlete but I don't think hes as fast or explosive as Monta, he can't play above the rim like Monta can, rebound like Monta, etc. Hes much closer in height to Parker and Nate- listed at 6 foot but I never trust college measurements. Hes got a good handle, gets to the rim and finishes well with some very crafty moves. Not a pure PG, needs to improve his PG skills in general. He is/will be a better outside shooter than Parker and Monta though- he already shows ability to pull up and drill 3 pters pretty well.

    I think physically hes most similar to Parker- quick, fast, not super explosive as far as leaping goes (though pretty good), but also very smart and crafty when finishing around the rim. I dunno if he'll ever be able to run a team like Tony Parker can though, I tend to doubt it but hes still very young. Like I said, I bet he'll be a pretty damn good shooter in his prime too. Probably in the NBA he can be a great backup PG who acts as a sparkplug on offense but also runs a team adequately for a reserve guard.

    LOL serves me right. If I say that Bosh should start over Dwight will that get him a 20/20 game?
