It's fun to watch you talk about me instead of Danny since he's been shitting on you for awhile now.

Green seems to be stabilizing: His 3ptFG% for the past 10 games is 45%, his blocks & assists are up, his turnovers are slightly down... good signs.

In this post, all percentages refer to his three point shooting, specifically.

Now that January is over, we can revisit some of the claims that Danny's shot is broken/he can't shoot, he only had "one good shooting game that skewed his percentage".

Danny shot 49% in January.

When the claim was made that he had one game that skewed his percentages, to that point, in January, 8 games had been played. Of those 8 games, he shot above 50% in four out of those 8 games. So there wasn't one game that skewed his percentages.

If for some reason you want to throw out that game as his best game, and you throw out his worst game, at 0/4, during those 8 games, you end up with 8/20=40%. Right at his career average.

The offense has lots of problems, but there appears to be little evidence that Danny can't shoot, or has forgotten how to shoot, or that a "single game" is inflating his percentages.

*done on my phone, feel free to make corrections to these numbers if necessary, but I'm sure they will not be material.

Nice post. Danny is ok. More worried about Patty's shot.

lol

Green is finally playing like his old self since he is not driving to the basket every freakin' time he gets the ball. Notice the Spurs are calling several off the ball screen plays for him the past several games, something Pop really didn't do all season.

Nice to see Green getting back to want he is actually good at. Basically the reason the Spurs won against the Lakers. Counter those 3's by Lakers in the 3rd quarter so they didn't blow the game wide open.
