Spurs are very fortunate to have Danny Green?

[Bill_Brasky]

Games 1-3 curry got erased??

Danny didn't guard Curry exclusively until game 3. Surprise look what happens when you put length on a score-first PG.

[hyhy]

You're both right tbh. Green's defense was a huge factor in the Spurs' favor against GSW. But on those fateful last two possessions of regulation in Game 6 of the Finals, Danny Green was completely lost. On the first play, he started drifting toward halfcourt while everyone else was trying to get the rebound after LeBron's miss, so he was out of position to defend LeBron on his second try of that possession. Then on the second possession, Green was on Allen, but when LeBron's shot went up, Green totally lost Allen, which is unforgivable. And the Spurs paid dearly.

So yes, Green had defensive lapses in the Finals, but also yes, he was outstanding defensively in the GSW series and pretty good otherwise.

So stop arguing because you're both right.

His defense on curry was great on curry only after his ankle, but i guess you could argue that it was his good def that caused that ankle

Curry's ankle hurt when he missed a shot, but when he made them or exploded to the hoop for a layup, his ankle looked fine.

Green is a one-trick pony. He was the weakest link in our starting line up all season.

LMAO... Green is a big part of why we got to Game 6 and 28 seconds away from winning it all. Manu and Pop were the reason why we didn't win it all. Like it or like it.

[Spur|n|Austin]

If only we had a coach who could teach him to pass, and dribble he could really be good.

That's not really coached at this point of a players career, they can ask it of them, but if it's not part of his game, it's not part of his game. Then again Pop has never preached that to any of his sharp shooters, ever.

[Humberto]

Green is a proven napkin scorer, tbh

[tesseractive]

Green is a one-trick pony. He was the weakest link in our starting line up all season.

His role is to be a 3 & D player, not a franchise player. Having a guy who can hit open shots, defend, rotate the ball, and grab some boards for $3M a year is a godsend.

Yeah, having Hall of Famers 8 deep on the roster would be great, but in the real world, you need guys like Danny.

I don't think Green is better than Kevin Martin, no way. Martin is a soft as but he is definitely a more talented player with much more of an offensive game than Green. Re is debatable, he's pretty underrated (not at that contract though) but Green is definitely on a very good contract for what he gives us. If he was a free agent this season he'd easily be getting 6-7 million a season imo

Defense is half the game. Martin is one of of the worst perimeter defenders in the league. Green shut down the hottest shooter on the planet in the GS series.

[Leetonidas]

It probably helped that he got injured and Green is 5 inches taller than him

Defensive mistakes are on the coach. You shouldn't be screwing up defensive possessions in game 6 of the Finals. Again why it made no sense to take our best defender of the court. Green was our second best rebounder and he probably was thinking he had to secure the rebound after they failed to secure it the first time.

If Pop really focuses on reducing the defensive mistakes I think the defense can get even better.

Using length is a sound defensive strategy.

[Chinook]

He was 3-19 when Green was on him before he got injured, and the fact that Green's taller shouldn't matter, as everyone seems to give Lebron credit for shutting down smaller guys.

[PlayNando]

Danny Green is a better player than all of these guys.

No, he's not, tbh.

[BatManu20]

Still better than Pussy Korver

Also, whatever happened to Rashad McCants? Dude just disappeared one day.

[TheGreatYacht]

I'm bumping this after hearing this:

You are a terrible poster. Like it or like it.

TIMVPDPOY is ashamed of you.
