Cheers to NBAMate reader Ben for posting this link in the comments. It’s highlights from today’s Clippers vs Blazers game, where our own Patty Mills featured for two minutes of action… and a bucket!
You can see Patty’s jumper at 9:10 into the clip, followed by his assist to Webster.

ONE: Quick Aussie Roundup first. After leaving yesterday’s game against the Knicks after just 5 minutes with a migraine, the Bogey Man bounced back today with a very solid 21 point, 8 rebound effort against the Pacers. More importantly, the Bucks have won 5 out of their last 6 and seem to be gelling [...]

The Bogometer has been a little behind lately, and indeed I haven’t spoken much of Mr. Bogut since I lamented his inability to string four good games together. Well, Drew must have read my post because since I wrote it he has enjoyed his most consistent patch of the season: 5 double-doubles out of 7 [...]

ONE: A quick Sunday Six Pack to sneak in before Part II of Ant’s musings on the NBA’s prior decade touches down.
So this prior week will no doubt be remembered as the week of Patty Mills’ NBA debut. It was a rocky journey – late draft pick, tragic [...]

Was out of action today and only just got back online. Planned to do a full write-up on Patty’s historic debut (yeah it’s historic, how often does an Aussie debut in the NBA?), but Mookie over at A Stern Warning has already done an excellent job of this. Which doesn’t surprise me; Mookie is generally [...]

This just keeps getting better. After his monster debut for the Stampede, Patty has one-upped himself by hitting the game-winning shot with 1 second remaining against Reno today. Desmond Farmer (lead all scorers with 27 points) was fouled and hit a layup to put the Big Horns up 108-107, but failed to convert the three-point [...]

ONE: It’s been a while between Six Packs, and with the time off I’ve had over the New Year I thought it was only fitting to churn out what will undoubtedly be the most massive Sunday Six Pack of all time.
On the Aussie front, the biggest news this week has of course been [...]

In case you got sidetracked by Kobe’s heroic antics against Sacramento (how shit was the ESPN Australia’s coverage in that final minute??) there was some quality balling going down in the D-League. Just days after it was announced Mills would be assigned to the Idaho Stampede in the NBDL, he has made an absolutely epic [...]

Cheers to NBAMate reader Braydon for the heads up on this one. Just when we started to get excited about Patty Mills’ imminent return to the NBA, there’s this: Mills has been assigned to the the Idaho Stampede, the Trailblazers D-League affiliate.
The Blazers also waived former Stampede forward Anthony Tolliver, who will rejoin Idaho.
“We are very excited [...]

Was very happy to see this article land in my inbox on Christmas Day. Patty Mills, after injuring his foot back in Summer League, is finally close to making his NBA return. Or technically speaking, his NBA debut. “I’m feeling good," Patty said. "I’m getting in shape and I’m definitely seeing a light at the [...]
