"Mills provided a huge spark even before Parker's exit.

The energetic Aussie sprinted for a layup after tipping away C.J. McCollum's dribble in the backcourt. A possession later, Mills blocked Lillard's 3-pointer, igniting a fast break that led to Green's first 3 of the game."

x2 anon. He can flat out play but doesn't get the respect he deserves. 18pts in playoffs is huge. Patty getting betting every season. Must be the highest playoff points for an Australian ever?

Beast Mode = Anon Shitting out

How many times Patty Mills will have beast mode in his entire career. We're seeing a case of dehydration here..

Good on him, performing in the best league in the world.

Thanks Bear.

Oi @HO, wasn't me brother, I actually love the 'Beast Mode' tag, I get a kick out of people becomming upset over it...

Oh and I accept your apology in advance!

You should be apologising Bear. Hiding behind an anon to try and tell people what they can post on the forum again.

Watched the second half and Patty was very good. Had one steal in particular that showed incredible anticipation before he streaked to the other end for the easy layup.

The Spurs' team D is very, very good. Some fantastic decision making on when to leave a man, etc.

Kawhi Leonard was brilliant - if they take on the Clippers, who does he match up on?

Luc Longley was a 3 time NBA Champion. He's the starting center for the Bulls 3peat era.

Not an explosive center but certainly his style contributed for the team's most successful years.

whens Patty Mills day? Should we conjoin it with Australia day?

Those that dont like the beast mode tag dont understand humour. It's used excessively to annoy people for their amusement, hilarious.

That is one of your more idiotic posts HO, I am very disappointed mate!

If it was me I would at least have had the second sentence start with a capital letter, now wouldn't I?

Even given our spelling errors now and then, surely your intuition would tell you that you are w.r.o.n.g.

Oh, that's right, you are never w..... hard for you to read that word, isn't it bud??

Go Patty, you beast!

Patty Mills can score like that any day of the week. He just needs the court time. He will be Australias X factor for many years yet.

If patty scored 50 in the next game he'd still have haters, that's the nature of the....B

@anon and @billy the kid

Luc Longley had a 19 pt game against Seattle in the '96 finals.

Wow.

Let's just be thankful that we can talk about a number of Aussies and their successes in the NBA.

Mills' star continues to rise, Bogut for the main part was healthy this season, Delly outshining the #1 draft pick, and Baynes biding his time in his Spurs apprenticeship just like Mills had to do...

We can also add Exum who will be a genuine star to the talk for next season, possibly also Bairstow. Good times ahead for Aussies hoops with even more to come!

This is an Aussie forum, so let's celebrate the Aussie successes.

+1 for LC's comments ^

Any Aussie or Kiwi for that matter, in the NBA, should be spoken about and held in high regard downunder...

Here's that great Mills anticipation I mentioned, about 29 second mark of this video. Takes a risk in leaving his man under the bucket.

Round 2 PERs

Not worried about your grammar, just that you were channeling Bear. He now establishes when you can and can't contribute to a post on the forum, and the nature of everyone's contributions. Not sure what makes you think you can sanitize like you tried to.
