Nice research! :toast

Apparently you're not allowed to point out how poorly he's shooting or you're attacked by an army of strawmen.

It's been pointed out so many times already, everybody knows he's sucking, everybody also knows that without a good danny green the Spurs dont win against gsw. Chump said it best.

He plays defense!!!

He hasn't been consistently good on defense this year.
It's like His focus is off, his attention wonders. Simmons has subbed in fir him and it's not bc of his shooting.
Quite possibly Danny's having an off year.

The issue is not the offense. Maybe at the beginning, but not at this point. He's been guilty of trying to do too much. Hesitating or driving when he could have shot it.

Hopefully the green light he gas gotten to freelance with the ball pays off in making him more versatile. It might eventually be reigned in by Pop some. Simmons always ready to sub in.

I thought he had a good game against the Clips. But, yeah he can't go anywhere but up from here. We're going to need him against Harden's flopping ass

If it was Parker we wouldn't hear the end of it.

I think Danny´s the most Assist dependant Spurs of all, if he doesn´t receive the ball ready to shoot then is a disaster waiting to happen.

He suffered a lot early in the season when Tony looked done, now that Tony is playing more like what is expected from him i expect Danny production to increase as he will have the ball in his hands with advantage to shoot and won´t have to look for akward penetrations.

Off Topic:

If the game was on the line and your two options are.

Danny Green penetration.

Manu Ginobili making a riskfull (50% turnover) pass.


What would you prefer?

The next thread is going to be why do grown men take questions defensively. The concept to this thread is WHY he is playing poorly, not that he IS playing poorly. It's comical, really. The insecurities on an internet message board are off-the-charts.

He isn't playing poorly, his shot just isn't falling.

Has no one asked him about it post game interviews? he needs to be asked wtf is going on, this isn't just a slump anymore

I reframed your question since it really sucked, basketball genius.

Your insecurity is off the charts.

Not a non-issue but blown way out of proportion by chicken littles.

While the shots aren’t falling, Green’s focus is on wins and playing defense

I just wish he wasnt such a pussy
Hes scared shitless with the ball unless hes launching a 3
Bringing the ball up court in that Clipper game was the gayest shit I ver seen
A defender 10ft away looked at him, he shit his pants & fuckin rockets the ball into Duncans back
We would all like him to shoot better, Im sure he would too, but hes still a threat at this point
That plus still defending at a high level is sumn I can deal with
Being a chicken shit with the ball is just unacceptable

Sounds like a broken record, but I'll say the obvious -- his shots will start to drop. It's almost inevitable.

Because when he can't hit 3's, he's COMPLETELY USELESS on offense. How many time must this be stated...

Being the starting SG & a defensive specialist on the best defensive team in the NBA is still impressive, even though someone like James Harden will always get more accolades for being offensive minded and just as bad on D as Green has been on O this season... Green fits this team, and I'd bet his 3pt% will go up by the all star break.

Repeating it doesn't make it true.

LOL this was fucked.
I never saw a replay so never worked out just how the fuck this happened.

---

Now that's an interesting take. I didn't realize just another 3 a game would have him at his career average.

OP takes baths
