I'm honestly surprised that Green is even shooting that well. It's been horrible. But Danny's either going to shoot well or he's not. No way to predict or improve it externally.
Shooting terrible as the season closes.
Danny the last 10 games:
31% FG and 27% from 3.
Tony:
26% FG and doesn’t shoot the 3 enough for it to matter. He’s at 42% but takes .7 per game.
Are these dudes going to turn it on in the playoffs, on road games, etc or is it going to be Bryns show?

Think it’s been a big problem. Not sure what can be done about it but play them less. It’s only part of the reason they don’t give me confidence. The other is Pop still in exploratory mode. Both are guys know to be capable of ending a bad shooting streak in jiffy— in the past. I legit don’t know it Tony can pull off what he did last year and tend to think he’s done. Danny I am uncertain about. I only did the last 10 games but I think the shooting slumps have gone on a while.
Danny is an underrated defender, regarding his shooting woes they don't call him ICYHOT without a reason. I am confident he will bounce back during playoffs. He always does.
Been calling it for 2 years. It's time to move on from G-League. One of the laziest players in the league. It's a shame because you wouldn't expect that from a guy that went through the road he did. Thank him for he memories and give him the Boban treatment in the offseason.
Danny is injured, tbh. He has been carrying a nasty ass limp for a while now and the other day he was finally seen with an abnormal bandage on his left calf.
It's clear that when Pop needs scoring he goes to LMA, Gay, Patty and Brynn. And Kyle even, to some extent.
He's looked hurt for a while, but still, I can't remember ever seeing a player forget how to shoot at this level..he wasn't just a good shooter, he used to be among the elite in the league for years and one of the best playoff shooters of all-time..now he can't make anything, it's puzzling..
Outside of the 2016 playoffs and last year vs. the Rockets, it's been mostly below average to above average shooting for 3 years..
Danny uses a lot of leg on his shooting motion, tbh. Way more than average. If he's hurt, it makes sense for his shot to suffer too.
Danny is a scrub. Always has been.
And the only shooting Porker knows how to do these days doesn’t involve a basketball.
Rec League Parker makes threes when he plays in his rec league. The three line is three feet closer though.
3 starters in a crucial home game against a non-playoff team shot under .35%...
4 starters shot .0% from 3 in the same home game...
Not good at all.
Danny should go back to wearing #4. Maybe the extra digit threw off his balance.
I still get chills watching clips from the '13 Finals. Even though we lost, we still shocked the world. Those Heat were supposed to be unbeatable, and we nearly god damn did it. And then, we ing did it.

What about games 6 and 7 tbh?
Then you’d have to assume he’s already started his decline as a player. He’s not all about speed like Tony is but spends a lot of time squatting in a game in a defensive stance and doesn’t have the legs anymore. Something is definitely up. It should impact their contracts this summer but it’s going to be problematic for the playoffs. Think Bryn is here to stay.
The only way to complain about Tony is if his role expands from the recent 10 MPG... it's true that's probably 5 mins too many, but we're splitting hairs...
I also wouldn't get too high about the playoffs, guys like Tony, Bryn, Fathead are going to be targeted relentlessly, and unfortunately there's nothing the Spurs can really do other than shoot lights out and make it a scoring contest, tbh...
This team is simply not prepared to 'execute', not on offense or defense, tbh...
They had problems with guard scoring even last year as you well know. Much criticized when Kawhi was in the team now he’s missed an entire season and it’s obvious that it’s still a problem. In fact Tony if we are honest is probably not a legit rotation player and Danny needs his shooting to bounce back.
Tony's last season's playoff resurgence came out of nowhere, so I still have some slight hope that he somehow turns it on once the lights are on.
He’s playing 20 minutes at times specially when Dejounte struggles like tonight. And I do think aside from setting shots for others Tony needs to score the basketball. He’s obviously no defensive player. If he’s not scoring, Bryns better, super streaky as a shooter too but is shooting the 3 well right now and scoring more efficiently than Tony.
The last week of the RS 3 years ago..who would have thought that Manu would be the only Spur in those highlights still playing at a high level?
ah the good old days, back when we still had Kawhi Leonard. it's weird seeing him on the court playing.
Is LDN going to get his jersey retired?
Special team (even CoJo and Baynes got in those highlights.)

I got nostalgic. Danny and Tony playing there like I haven’t seen them in some time. Also, I realized how much I’ve missed Kawhi too. Incredible that Manu is still the guy who is just doin his deal still (had hair in those clips)
Ah well hopefully these two dudes turn it on when it matters.
I had the same vibe watching those old clips. Weird.
