    PoMs are generally empty gestures held by teams that don't have enough chemistry and don't get along with each other. They're also a sign that the players have begun to tune out the coach's repetitive pleas for "scrappiness," and instead want to figure out a solution on their own, because they don't think the coach has answers.

    But I was mostly laughing because I had called this happening on another board.

    Generally generalizing is futile.

    We just need to make shots. That's what our illustrious leader says

    Funny you say that. Because the reserves have been struggling to score, the one thing the team knows Patty can do, is shoot and score. He also provides a speed boost that the second unit currently does not have. Speed is a good thing in NBA ball.

    I think we've only really seen Patty in garbage minutes, so it would be interesting to see what he can do if he were given a bigger role, but I have to think that McMillan would play Mills if he truly thought that he was capable of contributing.

    MIA at least went out and blew out their next opponent after their meeting.

    It was useless, sure, but i don't think it was an empty gesture... it was probably heartfelt for them. It just didn't help.
