Oh, man, life is about to get rough for Patty Mills. First, he’s turning 30, which is over-the-hill on basketball years (unless you’re Manu Ginobili). Also, Patty now holds the title as most likely to be Pop’s whipping boy this season. Think about it. The original abused point guard, Tony Parker, has taken his talent to Charlotte. Meanwhile, the most recently abused, Danny Green, will be bundling up 9 months out of the year on Toronto (at least until his contract expires in 11 months).
Patty has definitely been the focal point of Pounders ire in the last season since signing a 4-year/$50M contract.
