Not so fast, but I am not impressed with them at all sides a few games this year. Green has been bad this year.
Once Kawhi gets back, give their minutes to Nando/Manu/Mills

Yes, until Nando and Mills go into a funk and you demand to trade the entire bunch of em. I hate Spurs fans sometimes.
In the last two games, Neal and Green have combined to shoot an abysmal 7/31 from the field. That's roughly 22% in an average of 20+ minutes of playing time! Why are they still getting those minutes?
In my opinion, Green and Neal are too inconsistent for Pop to rely on them on a game-to-game basis.
Lose a few games and suddenly spurstalk devolves into lakersground
Neal will always be useful, in fact I think we could have stolen this game if he would have played at the end to hit some of those wide open threes we were missing.
I think those guys are out of gas. Both players have been guarding bigger, better players for a while now. I like them in the right matchups. Starting Green at the 2 still makes sense to me, once Kawhi gets back.
Mills is shooting at 49%, whilst Neal and Green are both shooting at 43%. If and when Mills or De Colo goes into a funk, simply switch back. Pop should ride the hot hand, tbh.
Da Fuq?, seriously, Green's basically in his sop re season, and is still improving, his defense is reason enough to warrant minutes, plus he boards well for a wing.
Neal, I'd agree with somewhat, when he's hot he's hot but his defense is almost comical at times.
I do like what i'm seeing from Nando & Patty but Neal still gets a little more time before being chained to the bench.
Kawhi wasn't shooting very well from deep before he got injured and still isn't nearly the offensive player green is, thats why pop usually goes with Green in small-ball lineups fir offense and defense.
Did you watch any game since that Lakers game?
Too early to call anything this drastic. Wait for Green to go back to shooting guard; it's obvious he's useless at small forward. As for Neal, he'll get the first crack at the backup PG job whether we like it or not.
almost all of them, It amazes me how impatient people can be this is basically his second season and is playing on one of the best teams in the league, their are going to be ups and downs he is still improving. Neal I can't really defend since the UTAH game he's been in my dog house his shooting is way down and his defense is somehow getting worse.
Green's defense hasn't been too bad. It's his shooting that's of concern. We're not going to win many games with Green shooting 1 of 8 from three point land.

neal and green are both garbage, green lost his shot in the wcf and he still cant find it
Neal is useful as a guy that can come off the bench for a few minutes each game and score, but he shouldn't be a rotation player. Our defense turns into teddy bears when he's on the court.
I missed the game but I'm assuming Green played like
Defensively? Yes. But his offense is the same whether as an sg or sf.
1 of 10 from the field, and missed a crucial, wide open, three pointer in the last minute of the game.
Air-balled a wide-open three from the corner, too.
For the last possession, I'm much more disappointed in them taking 3-pointers than missing 3-pointers. We are down by 4, there are plenty of time, and the paint was quite open for several chances.
Things like this kill me. When Green is cold, take him out and keep him out. A cold Green does more damage than hoping he'll get out of a slump
I thought Manu should've taken that wide open layup for the two. I guess he felt that Green was more wide open for the three, which he was.
^ what he said.
We had very poor time management in that last possession. I went nuts when Manu passed on a wide open layup.
