Only Iguodala shows any consistency among the bunch, tbh..most of the others are terrible..
5-season + playoffs sample size is huge, tbh..Quote:

Could be great, could be zippo with some ugly defensive lapses in between.
But your previous showing of what the wings were in the Final 4 teams was telling, to me.Quote:

Maybe that is what pisses me off about him...

And this is being generous because he plays for the Spurs, in any other team he would be eating bench or waived, system playa.
Advanced metrics don't win championships.
If DG has ugly defensive lapses then every other SG is basically a garbage defender. No one is perfect - he is the best SG defender in the league IMO but no worse than top 3.Quote:

Not IMO. While it's possible, to me, DG has earned the right to call this offensive season a fluke. New star on the team, big adjustments, etc...Quote:

You're just showing me that he's inconsistent on offense, which is what I expect from a role player:lolQuote:

Lol at people "not giving up" on Green as if he wasn't the best defensive guard in the league last season. Advanced metrics aren't volume stats. What kind of a contention is that? That said, he could definitely be more consistent. At the same time, though, it's really hard to be consistent at throwing a piece of rubber through a small circle that's 10 feet in the air and at least 23 feet away. Even more so when that circle is parallel to the ground.
People haven't realized that Danny's 20-point games are gravy and should be taken as such. His role on offense is to be guarded, not to score. People acting like Green taking three or fewer shots a game is some failure on his part are clueless. Him not getting those shots meant that whoever took them had a much easier time of it. For Christ's sake, the Thunder used Roberson on him as much as they used him on Kawhi. How many role-players draw the best defender on the other team? Ray Allen?
Green is not vastly overrated. That you're bitching about his consistency shows how much it affects the team. If a guy is so critical that he is swinging games in your mind despite being the fifth option on offense, he seems to warrant pretty high regard.
I didn't even have to respond because you did it for me, so the two posters who posted truth nukes after that do your research before you speak or hate on the guy.Quote:
