View Full Version : Danny Green's work ethic

After watching this dude mail it in for the 65th time this season, I felt like this thread had to be made.
A friend of mine texted me after the Warriors game saying he saw Danny at the club after the game, and it got me thinking.. He's been hitting the club way more this year than he has before, and I don't think it's a coincedence that his shot left all of a sudden. I know some of you believe he'll stop coasting come playoff time but he was a no show for 6 games against the Clips and was outplayed by Marco. If he sucks this post season, it's going to be tough to unload that contract...
Hope he gets off this slump, because Curry might be able to play 48 minutes if he's guarding Green :lol

Obviously.
I don't think people realize this, but Curry was in the middle of a 5 game slump when he played SA. He missed some makeable shots that night, and the Spurs gameplan has a high possibility of backfiring. If Green can't shut him down and he misses shots on the road like he always does.... It ain't gonna be pretty

What backfiring? The switching is the best defensive scheme against the Warriors as seen this season :lol Yes curry makes some bs shots, but you tip your hat to that. If the best strategy backfires then you did nothing wrong, just means you were not the better team :lol

he hasn't improved in anything in the last 3 years. His ball handling skills are probably even worse. LOL @ only working on your 3 pointer in the offseason and then shooting like shit during the season. If he continues to play like this he'll be on another team this time next year.(I hope) He's also overpaid and should be getting around 50% of what he's making. To me he's like Splitter. Can be used against a certain team (Golden State) and can be replaced by someone like Simmons in every other matchup.

I dislike criticizing players, feeliing that they are usually giving their best effort. But tonite I saw Diaw busting Green for loafing down the court to get into position. Earlier this season I noticed him not putting in any effort on defense, letting his man go around the screen and motor down the lane without any effort by Green to guard him. I thought he played better defense in some succeeding games like the GSw game and hoped for the best.
But we all know that alcohol can ruin an athlete so it's disturbing to hear about Green being a club rat in the same season where he is not having a good year. His shooting is .333 on 3s this year which is way below his average for the previous 4 years. It's a little late in the year to think that this is just a short term problem.
It was a very good deal
but Danny Green definitely wouldn't be the first guy who mailed it in after scoring a big contract. That's beside the fact he really should be playing like hes worth 14 or 15, not underachieving.
I dont think it is all his fault though. The amount of isos between now and 2012 is enormous. No one player has the usage rate of 2003 Timmy, but in many ways Pop has reintegrated that ground and pound style of play back into the "System."

Why was Danny partying with Klay Thompson after the Warriors round 2 matchup? If he stopped cavorting with the enemy then maybe they'd be a little more intimidated. He's also close with Lebron. They were at the NBA-Player's Association last summer hanging out. I don't mind the hanging out but the clubbing and alcohol is clearly affecting his shot. Doesn't he know he's got to treat his body like a temple, especially during the season. That's why I respect Duncan and Kobe. They take care of their bodies.
Danny needs to spend more time in the gym instead of club Rio. If he was on the Cavs and it was reported he partied as much as he does on the Spurs it would be on ESPN, he's lucky he's in a small market. J.R. Smith was killed by the NYC media for partying in his Knicks days.

That was just a work of art.
I will say - if this shit is real (because everything on the Internet is real?) and Danny was out clubbing the night before that fucking goose egg he put up in the Charlotte loss? He needs his ass kicked. Hard. I don't care what he does with his time off, but that game was pretty disgraceful.
Problem is he's that dude who almost never goes to class but just aced his last test.
This season he's the guy who doesn't go to class, and just made a C+ on his last test, and that's good enough for him. I don't know if he's out at night or not, but he hasn't aced many tests this season. If that's the best he can be, it's one thing. If he's settling for half-assed dedication? Ahhh bullshit.

03-28-2016, 06:18 AM
I haven't really said much about Danny all season, but I can't believe how bad he's been on offense. I thought that he would have snapped out of it by now, but he still hasn't, so now it's getting a little concerning. I have also said though that I don't care how bad/cold he is during the regular season, if in turn, that means he'll be white hot in the playoffs. I'll take that trade-off any day of the week. Hopefully in the playoffs he goes into one of his massive hot cycles and stays hot for the whole playoff duration.
I really do hope that he's not going out clubbing all the time and if that is one of the reasons why he's been playing so poorly, I'm not happy to hear that at all. Hopefully he can turn it all around very, very soon.

To be fair he needed to stick to what he was doing when it worked and just shoot the open three and not start to dribble because that is when he got in to big trouble and started overthinking just doing what he does best. I liked the 3 and D Green, the one who tries to dribble is just a mess.

Timmy added that 18 footer near the elbow at around Green's age. Jordan added his post-game at around Green's age. It can be done, and what we know about skill acquisition later in life (the brain actually remains nearly as plastic into adulthood as it was during childhood) and given how effective modern training methods are, I think Green could add a non-athletic skill to his game, like that in between jumper I always ramble about.

The difference is that Duncan and Jordan had more natural abilities as basketball players..I mean we're talking about two of the 5 best yo evef do it here bro.
They already had skill sets that was needed to learn those added skills.
Green has to learn how to dribble and learn the nuances of fakes etc...Duncan and Jordan needed less time and less learning. They just incorporated new moves.

True. But an in between jumper shouldn't have that large of a natural ability barrier to entry compared to something like post moves or ball handling.
Maybe he has added it and Pop doesn't let him use it. I don't know. I just believe he has a bit more talent offensively than given credit for. Not expecting 15 per night, but as I've said, I think he has the potential to add 4ish points to his line in other ways aside from spot up threes.

I agree.
LDN is one of my all-time favourite Spurs, I love that guy.
But... the skill he needs to add is the skill of shooting the fucking ball more often. He has a high, quick release but he doesn't let it fly enough. He used to :(

At least today, his D was subpar too. Mills is getting a lot of heat for Curry going off (he should because he was atrocious in several plays), but look at who was guarding Curry in the beginning of the game (boosting Curry's confidence for the rest of the game). A hint : It wasn't Mills or TP.

At least today, his D was subpar too. Mills is getting a lot of heat for Curry going off (he should because he was atrocious in several plays), but look at who was guarding Curry in the beginning of the game (boosting Curry's confidence for the rest of the game). A hint : It wasn't Mills or TP.
IDK about Curry but Barnes Isos on Danny looked so good for the Mavs, I expected more from Danny on those plays because he's one of the best one-on-one defenders in the league but he did nothing there.

Also, I don't want to see the Spurs closing games with Parker or Mills...Run with Murray or Kyle but let the two point guards on the bench. They have been negative in the last two games in the 4th.

Kyle will get heat in these forums... but Spurs have won playing him. He's not going to be scoring much but he executes what he's supposed to. I wish he'd shoot more but he didn't play poorly with the bench. Murray is young guy but but I'd like to see what he can do. He was great closing out that game in Toronto.... Heck if you recall, that game Pop got ejected --the Denver game--Messina had him in the 4th Q bc Mills was horrendous. I
I don't want to hate on Patty, but it's known he can't defend... Frankly I have a bad feeling with Pop going down with the veterans... It's just astonishing. I don't know if this losing skid will open his eyes. Maybe Simmons is back soon... He could have covered for Mills in the bench. Kyle is just a forward who Pop insists on toying around with... Heck I also suspect if he had been on Nowitzki Kyle might have made a defensive play on that PnR in the 3rd Q... as much praise as Lee gets (he's a great offensive player)... He was nonchalant in there. It's just disappointing bc it was such a winnable game.

Kawhi's best off the ball and situational, but Danny is the better workhorse defender for most perimeter players. They work extremely well together when they fully synergize, as we all know. It's even more important with Kawhi being the team's offense. Imagine how tired he would have been had he needed to guard PG AND score. Hell, he might have gotten into even more foul trouble.

Danny has been trying to grow his offensive repertoire, but after two years, it's clear that this is his ceiling, which is in certain ways disappointing. He's basically a Bruce Bowen, his value is as a defensive specialist, and knocking down the occasional 3 pointer.
There's nothing wrong with that role and frankly, Pop values limited guys that can do the little things you need done. Plus, he's on a good value deal.

back when parker was penetrating at will, danny was the primary beneficiary and he never had to put the ball on the floor. now that parker sorta just dribbles and passes it off to danny, too many times he needs to dribble which only leads to disaster.
this is why dejounte needs more run, we need a penetrating point guard to mask danny's offensive shortcomings and highlight his strength

I agree, I wasn't arguing against your point, I've said the same thing since last season..although I'm one of the biggest Green fans here, I could understand moving away from him if they decide to keep Parker around as a starter for another 2 years(although I don't think Pop would ever move Green, he didn't even give up on him when he was shooting 32% from 3, last season), since they desperately need penetration at one of the guard spots(could be Murray, next year, though)..
The Spurs are 22nd in the NBA at % of 3s(out of their total points scored) off penetration..I don't have the data from years ago, but I would guess that they were close to the top 5 when Parker was in his prime, since he was as quick as any PG we have ever seen(along with being highly intelligent, despite what many here believe)..
There seems to be a lot of denial on this forum about the Spurs making this team heavily frontcourt-dependent..not only personnel-wise, but also based on style of play..

It's not blaming him. It's acknowledging the reality of the situation. We need guard that can penetrate/playmake. Used to be Tony and that made green fine in his role. Parker can't do it anymore. So either gotta replace parker or swap green for somebody with a skill set that better fits. It's simple math. It's not danny's "fault" but that's besides the point.

I don't think anyone is saying role players are creators. But DG has not developed that part of his game at all. I don't know why it is so bad to want an upgrade here. DG has done good things for us. But I don't think he's what we need anymore.
And while you are trying to take a shot at me for Plumlee, whose to say he doesn't come in and click like Dedmon has? But good shot.

OP got this wrong, it should be... Danny Green´s lacks work ethic.

We're back on blaming Green for not being able to do Tony's job? The Spurs are paying their lead guards a good deal of money, and yet people want to blame things on Danny and Patty when their salaries combined equal what one of Manu or Tony is making. If you're content with those guys on their contracts, you just have to accept the current state of things.
Exactly

After a "fluke bad shooting year", as his pumpers say, in which he shot 33.2% from deep.... His current 3P% keeps plummeting and plummeting by the game.
Over his last 7 games he's averaging 5pts and shooting 26.7% from three

I often wonder does DG feel the least bit incompetent when he sees a player like Kawhi work & improve by leaps & bounds while he still cant dribble a ball more than 4 consecutive times without shitting on himself

We can't. He's irreplaceable. And apparently a top 3 role player in this league. That's what I've been told. And these guys are never wrong, just ask them.

I can't figure out if you're a troll or just have no concept of statistics. A five game sample size does not a season make. He's shooting at just under 40% this season. Excluding last season which you admit was a down year he's 41.7% for his career. That's a difference of four made threes this season. He's still shooting from three at a very high level.
If you actually wanted an area of concern it's his two point shooting which gets worse and worse, whether at the rim or when chases off the line. He's been particularly abysmal from midrange (10-16 ft). Teams are learning to chase him off the line and force this, which is the real issue ... not his ability to knock down threes at well above average percentages and rates.
His D remains invaluable. Be grateful for him as the alternatives of Simmons and Anderson would destroy floor spacing. But his offensive game gets wasted without a penetrator and that's on Parker and Manu. Something does need to be done to address this next offseason or hope Murray develops leaps and bounds this summer.

It's you that doesn't understand stats. I'm not wrong in saying his 3P% is getting worse by the game. After a hot November and December his 3P% was at an insane 46.4%, that's exactly why his overall percentage may not look bad (yet). In 2017 he's at an average-below average 34.1%. That's not what you should see from an already offensively crippled player. It's the only thing he brings to the table on that side.
But his offensive game gets wasted without a penetrator and that's on Parker and Manu. Something does need to be done to address this next offseason or hope Murray develops leaps and bounds this summer.
Here we go with the bullshit lie again. Parker and Manu are not at fault when this bum airballs or hits front of the rim on open threes.

Why would you bother to give that a real response, tbh?:lol
There's nothing that really needs to be said..Pop's going to stick with him, he just needs to make 3s when it matters, like he usually does(one of the best shooters in playoffs history)..he shot as poorly as possible during last year's RS, something like 32 or 33% from 3, but then shot as well as you could ever ask for in the playoffs, which is all he needs to do for the Spurs..

After watching this dude mail it in for the 65th time this season, I felt like this thread had to be made.
A friend of mine texted me after the Warriors game saying he saw Danny at the club after the game, and it got me thinking.. He's been hitting the club way more this year than he has before, and I don't think it's a coincedence that his shot left all of a sudden. I know some of you believe he'll stop coasting come playoff time but he was a no show for 6 games against the Clips and was outplayed by Marco. If he sucks this post season, it's going to be tough to unload that contract...
Hope he gets off this slump, because Curry might be able to play 48 minutes if he's guarding Green :lol

TP's attempts at shattering that lore tbh:
"I can't believe he's still open at this moment in the series," Spurs (https://www.si.com/nba/team/spurs) point guard Tony Parker said after Game 5. "They are still trapping me and doubling [Tim Duncan (https://www.si.com/nba/player/tim-duncan)], and Danny is wide open. He's shooting the ball well. If you are going to leave Danny wide open, he's going to make threes."

one of the most overblown narratives in recent ST history...
danny made 25 threes in the first 5 games. its not like Spo didn't realize that he was hot until parker's quote. and he still got off plenty of attempts in games 6 and 7... he just shot 2-11 in those games
