"Part of you wants the Spurs to win because they have such a great organization," he said. "They do it the right way. They did everything they could to win. But in the end, Danny Green proved why he's been in and out of the league all the time.”
Danny Green > Manu.
He has one national title in 36 years because he was lucky enough to recruit a player who probably should've went to the NBA...fuck em'
The hell? Green has as many titles as this guy does.
He proved that by shattering a NBA Finals record?
Sure, he could've done better in games 6 and 7, but frankly, if you are playing well enough as a role player to make Miami take attention away from Parker and Duncan, then you are doing a damn good job. I'm sure that at the start of the series, the Heat decided they would live with Danny Green beating them...and they quickly had to change their strategy when they realized that he could.
Miami is just lucky Tony wasn't 100% tbh.
College basketball truly sucks. How it can be so popular in the USA while they have the best basketball league by far with the NBA, is a huge mystery to me.
But college kids care more than grown men competing for millions of dollars.Quote:

Green was the reason this series was even as close as it was. I don't think we were ever BETTER than Miami (in the sense of suffocating defense and straight killing them inside on offense). Hot 3 point shooting is always a gimmick, and big blowout wins where you shoot a godly 70%+ from three should be taken as fools gold.
That being said, you can't blame a role player that makes 3-4mill a year. In any case, he played fantastic defense and rebounded well for us.
Maybe in your country it does.Quote:

OP (the article that is) neglects the fact that Green played Game 7 with a low grade fever. smh.
March Madness is easily the most exciting thing in sports, that's why NCAA basketball is so popular. tbh college basketball isn't that popular throughout the entire season and even into the conference tournaments. Just the 64 team tournament.
Not sure if I buy that, considering he was out in the club after the game.Quote:

He didnt take many 3s in the last 2 games tho, that was the problem imo.Quote:

He took six threes in game 7. Made one of them.Quote:

Point taken. Perhaps LeBron could fill us in. He got a warm fuzzy hug from DG.Quote:

It's unrealistic to expect Danny Green to play like a $10 million a year player when one of the best perimeter defensive teams of all-time decides they're going to focus their attention on him with the Spurs #1 option injured. Green had an incredible regular season and postseason, but yeah, he is no Ray Allen. Ray Allen is a Hall of Famer who can handle the ball and attack the basket when a team is determined to run him off the three point line. If Green could do that he'd be making at least $10 million.Quote:

That's tantamount to playing with a hangnail. Green was horrid at the end of the series and it hurt the Spurs significantly, that is beyond debate. That's also the point that Boeheim was clearly trying to make, albeit via a superfluous choice of words.Quote:

Those looks Battier got in Game 7 were a direct result of James and Wade really stepping to the plate when the Heat needed them. Spurs got beat by two first ballot Hall of Famers going HAM.
T why no mention of the part boeheim called ginobili better than kobe...........................
Whats this coach record in the NBA?
Agreed. The talent level is laughable.Quote:

I think Boeheim is targeting more on UNC than Danny Green. Green as a mid-second round pick has well exceeded expectations in the NBA.
when the fuck did Jim Boeheim spend any time in the NBA?
Boeheim is a cunt for sure
Im postive UNC has won more chips than Syracuse since 2003. UNC has more players playing in the NBA than Syracuse.Quote:

People become very attached to their college teams. I didn't know shit about UNM before I went there and now I am a pretty damn rabid fan for our sports - ESPECIALLY basketball. Part of it is how awesome going to the games is. Better atmosphere than any NBA crowd.Quote:

What's surprising about Green not going off? (He had only 1 really bad game in the finals) Green's a roleplayer, he's not the messiah.
In game 3 the Spurs played good defense (held the Heat to under 80) and moved the ball on offense. When you get good 3pt shooting from good ball movement it's not a gimmick. The problem happened when the Spurs abandoned their defense to play small ball with the Heat. Our defenders could have suffocated the Heat more on the perimeter if we had played TD and Splitter together more.Quote:

Shooting 1-12 on the road in a Finals Game 7 is murderous. Absolutely positively catastrophic. And when the Spurs nailed a three and stole the inbounds and Green's frigid ass jacked up that guarded three....ugh.
Green regressed to the mean... nothing more, nothing less. Fever aside, anyone expecting anything else in Games 6 and 7 of the NBA Finals on the road after shooting lights out over the first five is being unreasonable or delusional. Boeheims off base here and he needed to pick a better context to base his statement on.Quote:

Oh yeah, because Melo has come through plenty of times in he NBA.
The quality of college ball in the one-and-down era is shit. Don't conflate the excitement of March Madness with the quality of the basketball. It's been terrible for some years now.Quote:

Without the tourney NCAA basketball would be completely irrelevant. Most of the sports fans I know fill out a bracket but I only know a handful of them that actually watch college basketball outside of that.
Yup. I can't watch it. I only start studying the draft about a week ago.
On the west coast and in the northeast college bball is huge, as it should be. It's a fantastic sport.
Thats his only prized player he can boast about. Players like Jonny Flynn have been busts, and I don't see anything special about Carter-Williams.Quote:

Ok genius, how about you give RC a call so that he can be gifted with your basketball knowledge? I'm sure he is dying for somebody like you to tell him which players to dump.Quote:

He's not a good ball handler. There's nothing wrong with an objective evaluation of a player's strengths and weaknesses. Pop himself said he was like Bowen in this regard.

Dump implies getting rid of, while my opinion is Green has peaked in value and will not be able to get in the future the same return that you might get now.Quote:

Hell, if Manu didn't even show up to the stadium in game 6, SA would have five championships right now.
Its the only time where white scrubs like Hansborough, Fridette, Morrison, Reddick can look like superstars.Quote:

Let us accept the reality that as much as we love Green on our team but in game 6 & 7 he went cold 1-19 from the 3pt line.
That's the truth.
He had some good looks at the rim but it was not just his nights. And we understand.
The Spurs future is still bright.
carmelo is the exceptionQuote:

Instead of watching Danny green, he needs to keep an eye on his assistant trying to shower with his players.
