I don't think there could ever be a time when Timmy didn't know where to be on the court. I'm not sure he can always get there anymore.
I think the problem is the legs as you need strong legs to really box out. Hard to be critical of him, but he's noticeably not the same guy as last season and its all once he got the knee soreness and second brace.
We have to enjoy watching these guys bc it might be the last for this particular group.
On another note, sorry for the Grizzlies to be so decimated, but LMA got ZBo, and Kawhi got Barnes. It's good to put those bad memories from last season behind early!

All season, every season almost. He won't be traded -period. Our best chance is for him to catch a rhythm bc he can and if he does all this conversation is moot.
My personal concern was more him as limit ed offensively as he is + declining Tony - Manu.... all of those factors combined place us in a difficult spot, but that's a worry for the off-season. We shall see.

They either make a risky pass, pass late in the clock or start an iso play. I don't know if they run any sets to completion in the past few games. That high-low from Tim to LMA has been money, but it's not been used much, probably because Tim and LMA aren't on the floor together all that much. Like the past few years, the 2nd unit seems to have their ball movement down much better.
I have to wonder if some of the issues on the 1st unit is because Tim is out of position. Would anyone say anything if he was? I saw a few times tonight that Tim wasn't expecting the ball when he got it. He played great, but quite often the appeared as if they haven't played but a handful of games together as a starting unit.
On the other hand, the bench guys came in with a vengeance. Kyle Anderson was great in his first playoff game. You could tell he was stoked for it as was Simmons. Miller didn't get any burn, which surprised me a bit. I wonder if he's just the TMac guy Pop hopes to drag to a ring or use in an emergency.
I've been preaching this all year. I posted in another thread about our ISO's and our offense having no rhythm particularly in our floppy sets to set up Kawhi and LMA. It's a terrible set compared to what we had in the past. No options unless a double team. This game looked better in my opinion and I expect the offense to start opening up. Glad we get some extra practice in with this Memphis team...
i think the problem with the first unit all really comes down to our floppy sets TBH. We try to establish it way to early imo and the rest of the team is not involved. Get the team involved first, then let LMA and Kawhi go to work. It was nice to see Kawhi start off the game with a steal, dunk, 3, and not a post up.

If he regains his form it's a no brainer to keep him, if he doesn't regain his form nobody in their right mind would want him. Have we seen the best of Danny, is this a slump and he'll be back or is he simply a Cleveland Steamer.
Who is the real Danny Green? A record breaking finals 3 point shooter for the Spurs and great role player who they were lucky to have when he was on fire or a Cleveland Steamer. It's so hard to tell with Danny. He is down on every major statistic this year, PPG, RPG, APG, BPG, SPG, FG%, 3PTFG%, very weird, he is an enigma.
2013 DG playoffs: 44%FG & 48% 3PTFG
2014 DG playoffs: 49%FG & 47% 3PTFG
2015 DG playoffs: 34%FG & 30% 3PTFG
It's no coincidence which 2 years the Spurs made the finals.
2016 More commercials made LOL
It seems he hasn't put any work into his game in the off season I'm sorry it shows
Re: If Danny Green does poorly will the Spurs trade him
Danny Green 2016 = Richard Jefferson 2011 LOL
In 2011 we got out matched by a younger hungry Memphis team that postseason sucked balls
Re: If Danny Green does poorly will the Spurs trade him
he showed up in Game 7 then cried like a bitch when we lost

Yeah, who's the real Green? The 44 playoff games from 2013-2014, or the seven playoff games from last year? Or hell, the 44 games from 2013-2014, the three games last playoffs where he shot over 50 percent from three and the one game this year he he made the only shot he took, or the four games last post-season where he shot under 50 percent from three?
48 versus four, really tough to decided...
Fans are being completely irrational when they evaluate Green's history. Everyone knows he was bad shooting during this past regular season. But he was still critical last post-season, and obviously the 2014-2015 regular season was great. Even during this season, his defense was so good that he ranked fifth in RPM among SGs. He ranked ahead of Klay and Batum despite not being able to shoot at all. You're not getting better than that for the money, so the Spurs aren't trading him.

Seeing VC and Barnes playing for the Grizzlies brings up three bad semi-recent memories for Spurs fans. At least with the first, Spurs salvaged the Mavs series and the rest was history.
