50% so far in these playoffs :tu
And averaging 2 steals, 1 block and just 0.7 turnovers. Good stuff by DG so far.
He's dribbling less and shooting more. Always a good thing.Quote:

LDN doing LDN things.
The three that he hit running off a couple of screens (3:40 in the 4th on an out of bounds play) was great to see. That type of shot hasn't really been there all season long.
Hopefully hes just been waiting until the playoffs to get hot.Quote:

In the past we'd have taken our opponents focusing on Danny. Now we seem to think it's an issue if Danny struggles because of that focus. Danny is not the catalyst of this team's offense. That would be LMA and Kawhi still, and believe it or not, Tony Parker. Tony has to be able to attack the paint successfully a few times to get guys like Danny (who cannot dribble penetrate well) open looks. If teams want to focus on trying to stop LMA and Kawhi, Danny is going to have a field day.
With Danny shooting like shit, Spurs won 67 games and matched an NBA record for wins at home, losing just once to the probable champs this season in the AT&T center. If Danny can break out even a little, the Spurs are looking at the WCF, and if Steph's ankle flares up again, possibly the Finals.
his shot will only get better. He's returning back to himself.. he's almost back.
This the series has been great to grow our offensive confidence! All shooters need is to see the ball go in a few times to get on a hot streak.
That playoff on/off switch tbh :hat
Opponent dosent matter in greens case he gets wide open looks every game he just needs to knock them down.
Just like that jackass Robert Harry :rolleyes

He has missed open shots against bad teams all season.Quote:

his 2pt% is .200
3 pointers are not really related to opposition. maybe a small part, but memphis is good defensively.Quote:

Spurs are going to need some points from Green/Martin, Mills and Ginobili regularly in the WCF. Pop can't leave him in if he's not knocking down wide open shots.Quote:

They've been leaving Danny open more and more, and he hasn't made them pay nearly enough - so they keep helping off him. He can fix that in a hurry by knocking down some shots.Quote:

It's great to see him producing like this in the playoffs. I hope he keeps it going. When he's making his three's were are almost unbeatable.
Higher now
5 of 6
He's back
Reputations are made in the playoffs. Even though Danny had a poor regular season from deep, and even if he should continue to shoot poorly, he still carries that reputation as a great 3-pt shooter and requires some attention.
If he continues to shoot like he did in game one, look out, this could get ugly.
catching and shooting without taking time to think or dribble lets muscle memory take over. Most of his 3s were of that variety. Hope he just continues to catch and let it fly.
By the way, it seems to me that his defense picks up and he tries harder when his shot is going in. So it is very critical that he continues to shoot well during the playoffs.
