Do any of you guys know the answer to this?

Do the Spurs ever lose when Danny Green makes at least half of his 3s and scores over 10 points?

Wouldn't it be great if he could do those two things in half of their games?

Green producing on the offense is absolutely paramount to the Spurs. It completes the starting lineup. His defense is consistently solid. I just wish his offense was too. If he is on, the Spurs are hard to beat. If he isn't, the Spurs are extremely predictable and playing 4 on 5 every time down the floor is terrible for a team that needs spacing and ball movement.

According to bkref (http://www.basketball-reference.com/play-index/pgl_finder.cgi?request=1&match=game&year_min=2001&year_max=2017&is_playoffs=Y&age_min=0&age_max=99&pos_is_g=Y&pos_is_gf=Y&pos_is_f=Y&pos_is_fg=Y&pos_is_fc=Y&pos_is_c=Y&pos_is_cf=Y&c1stat=fg3_pct&c1comp=gt&c1val=.5&c2stat=pts&c2comp=gt&c2val=10&order_by=pts&player_id=greenda02) it has happened 25 times during the playoffs (any season) and the Spurs have lost only 4 games out of those 25.

During the regular season 24 losses out of 124 games.

It seems to be slightly higher than the Spurs regular win %.

Green is what he is. When he's engaged on defense, he makes a difference and when he's hitting his shot. He's looked pretty good at taking the ball to the rim recently. Better than I can ever remember. Gives me some real optimism.

He needs to get more shots. He's pivotal whether he has the ball or not, so you may as well live and die by him explicitly. With Parker out, Danny should be taking a lot more than five shots.

Well, we all hope that Danny has another great game tomorrow!
