Daniel green choking is huge

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Pop is forced to play neal more, and have him guarding harden or westbrook


Neal left those dudes so open tonight it was insane, we were just lucky enough that they missed.

They won't miss those shots every time.

We all know neal can score under pressure, but having him guard harden or westbrook is a recipe for disaster

Thanks a lot Green. You are well on your way to being the new Bonner

[SenorSpur]

Green has played extensively in big games before - even though it's mostly been in college. His poor performances has been very surprising.

[slick'81]

its not surprising tbh bright lights have got to kid green

[mexicanjunior]

Danny Green went from possibly getting a free agent offer to maybe getting a tryout with the Toros. Neal should be starting next game if Pop still gives a shit.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

4/21 on threes. :tu

[noles1983]

green has been extremely dissapointing

[davidbowie]

"daniel green is on the back of a milk carton somewhere in heb"

[TwelveGs210]

Agreed. Of course the usual clowns are gonna chime in with their "what about splitter and bonner" bullshit. No. It doesnt take a genius to see this, which Shaq has proven in his commentary.

Green sucking ass in the series is really putting pressure on other guys we havent seen in the winning streak.

[BatManu20]

He's killing us right now. His confidence is low, and he' young so its hard to get back. If he doesn't play well, I don't think Spurs can win it. Hopefully he shows some heart.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Neal can't guard Fisher, and green sucking is forcing Pop to play him more and more against harden and westbrook

[DeadlyDynasty]

This shouldn't be surprising. Green is a scrub. The Spurs rely a lot on scrubs, and sooner or later they'll all let you down.

[siraulo23]

It's tough to say if he's choking or just in a slump shooting the ball because he's obviously performed well the 1st 2 rounds

[Texas_Ranger]

Why are you surprised?? It's not like he's a great player. The only thing he can do is shoot a wide open three and when he can't make it he's like Bonner. The guy played like shit for the worst team in Euroleague...

[DMC]

Green is in a shooting slump. If he's a true scorer, he will come out of it.

Who hurt the team more? Who gets paid more? Who gets his dick sucked more by the media, this forum, and/or former teammates' wives?
Good point, and Ginobili's 6 turnovers tonight played a factor.

[freetiago]

overreaction
the green love was at an all time high when he went 50% from the field 46 from 3 for 10.5 points per game in the first 2 rounds

he is a rookie in his first playoffs
he made a lot of big shots during the season especially vs okc
last time he made the game winning steal that sealed the game

id love to see what happens if green suddenly goes like 5/5 next game

What happens is we will prob win that game

[Sa_Spursfan20]

I'd like to think Green will break out of his slump soon. It's occurring at a terrible time, sure, but the kid has talent. He's a solid player, and I have faith he'll overcome this.

Right, he did hit the very last 3 of the game tonight right before the buzzer. There's still hope... I hope... :lol

[SenorSpur]

If Green keeps this up, he will continue to devalue his market value. The Spurs will be able to resign him for a cheap contract this summer. I'd rather he get it together and play consistently well.

[TwelveGs210]

Does it not seem perfect considering at that point there is ZERO pressure to win?

This. As LONG as its a 1 year w/ a team option..

[TwelveGs210]

Manu's not the team MVP.

Manu's not an MVP candidate.

Manu's our wild card, so like Pop says, you have to live with Manu's mistakes in hopes that he makes magic happen.

Parker needs to play well or the Spurs are fucked. Bottom line.

I don't know if we can say Manu is our wildcard. I think tonight shows how much we truly still NEED him. I think Green is your true wildcard. We know that the OKC gameplan is NOT to stop Green.

[Legacy]

Pretty much, I guess, tbh, fwiw, imo. :lol

[TwelveGs210]

Spurs proved they can win without Ginobili this year.

Green is a role player.

Parker is supposed to be our MVP.

Winning throughout the season, and a best of 7 against OKC are two totally different scenarios honestly.

[TwelveGs210]

fwiw

Lost me on that one

[SouthTexasRancher]

Green has lost all of his bargaining power with both us and any other team the way he has played in this series if we lose out to OKC. He will not have any chance to prove the critics wrong. I was hoping he'd really have a big series against OKC but, he has hit rock bottom. He'll most likely come off the bench next season.

[TwelveGs210]

He'll most likely come off the bench next season.

That works. He has upside still, give em a 1 year with a team option.

[Sa_Spursfan20]

Right, he did hit the very last 3 of the game tonight right before the buzzer. There's still hope... I hope... :lol

If it boosts his confidence, Im all for it. He's been getting some pretty good looks, but he isn't hitting. He needs to rediscover his zone and let it rain.

[SouthTexasRancher]

Lost me on that one

fwiw - for what it's worth

[TwelveGs210]

LSED

Learn somethin' every day

[SenorSpur]

It's too bad for both he and the team.

If he can turn it around now and the Spurs move onto the Finals, he'll have a chance to continue redeeming himself. As of now, I agree that he's a one-year option guy for next year.

[SpursOwn]

Green is a scrub pussy. Say hello to the toros you faggot. Maybe you and Bonner can go fuck each other.

Hoopefully some home cooking gets him going...

Please never post again.

fuck off, green is a starter for the fucking San Antonio Spurs. Dude ain't living up to shit, fuck him and fuck you. And fuck Bonner.

Thats a little drastic. I'm hoping he isn't a Bonner annual magician in a slightly more athletic frame.

Sucks, but Leonard, Neal and Jackson aren't hiding from the moment. Bottom line: Spurs have options.

[TwelveGs210]

I cant agree with the part about Neal. He's made some shots, but he is too limited in who he can guard.

[Budkin]

Green will bust out in Game 5.

[AFBlue]

I cant agree with the part about Neal. He's made some shots, but he is too limited in who he can guard.

Neal did fine staying in front of his man. Green didn't force any turnovers, so his misses were amplified. If Neal can stay in front if his man, his offensive versatility and clutchness make him a legitimate option.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Sucks, but Leonard, Neal and Jackson aren't hiding from the moment. Bottom line: Spurs have options.

This. I think Danny gets one last shot in this series, but if he continues to miss wide open shots he has to see for Neal, Leonard or Jax. Danny is killing us right now because so many of the open corner 3s we're creating are going to him, and he's missing most of them.

[TwelveGs210]

He has made me "hate" him in a span of three games..

[HarlemHeat37]

I have been saying this all year, while 99% of this forum, including the OP CBF, was eating his dick, tbh..he's a pretty good 8th or 9th man on an NBA team, expectations should be low..I laughed when I read the constant overreactions to Green's potential..

Hopefully he can revert back to form as a good 8th or 9th man in these next few games, as he has looked like a D-leaguer in this series..

[Tp9gospursgo]

His twitter status' seem like hes just in a slump. He says he hasnt played a good game yet, but its coming....I hope hes right.

[G-Dawgg]

He's failing...

[TE]

What do you all expect? Danny Green is a legit scrub who can get hot from three while occasionally playing decent to slightly above average defense. He's a role player, simple as that. He will play better in game 5 at home.

[ViceCity86]

Lionel Richie's son was gonna fail sooner or later.

[Cow Eye]

If Green is the new Bonner I'm going to blow my brains out.

[rascal]

Green is a role player. You can't always count on role players.

[MannyIsGod]

I hope Danny turns it around. I have seen him play exceptionaly these playoffs and I hope he can duplicate that.

That being said, i'm not too optomistic. He had open shots tonight. HUGELY open shots. And while to his credit he kept shooting; they're just not falling and if he even makes a bucket or two this game is completley differnet.

And thats the thing. Leonard and Neal step up while Green shirks. I still have hope, but also hope that we don't bet the house on Green when we have options.

[therealtruth]

At least Green defends.

[TD 21]

Unlike Bonner, I'm not ready to give up on him. He should be removed from the starting lineup, but he should still be given a brief first half look. I don't care whether he's making shots or not, if he's wreaking havoc and bringing energy, he still has value. If that's not apparent damn near immediately though, then it's time to bench him.

[Yorae]

I really do hope green gets out of his slump and serge ibaka forgets his shooting stroke....

[Jumi]

Green is in a shooting slump. If he's a true scorer, he will come out of it.

this

This is the wrong time for him to be in a slump, but those two games in OKC were like Duke vs. North Carolina on steroids! Now he's been throught the fire and we'll see what he's made of. I got faith in the youngsta. He's been streaky all year, but he played his way outta it. I'll give him the lackluster offense because Kawhi is stepping up, but he better play his ass off on defense tomorrow night.

You can't survive shooting slumps to your main guys in the playoffs. That's how you lose series. His role needs to be lessened.

im not even sure if neal is even better then anderson besides shootin
