spurs should have traded him offseason and sold high
he is just a catch and shot guy
Yeah, if you notice, almost all of his great games come in meaningless games where we nearly lead throughout. That would be fine if he were a guy that got 10 MPG, but he's a fkn starter, which is pathetic. We saw how he caved under pressure with his God awful pathetic, shameful performances in games 6 and 7 last year.

Word...............
Ducks with the goods......... tbh.
he's a 1 trick Pony. I've said it and I'll say it again. Trade high, his trade value was highest at the end of the Finals.
Sure he's a decent defender but the mother er cannot ing dribble a ing basketball. 1 trick pony that can be neutralized easily.
I was asking for a trade when season started. dude is a 1 trick pony. I'm glad ducks, one of the smartest posters in the forum agrees 100% with me.
this didn't feel like a loss you can pin on any one person. pretty much everyone had moments that made you go WTF, from kawhi missing chippies to timmy passing to refs
Everyone shut the up lol it's like we're 2-13 or something. I swear even when we win 90% of the posts are trashing someone. Danny is being paid ~3 million annually and people expect him to be an elite shooter, lock down defensive player, good ball handler, and good finisher. News flash, players like that get paid a lot more than 3-4 million. He is a role player, but quite frankly one of the best in the league.
And yeah I love how the OP has stats from his first ever WCF as a big contributor in one of the most raucous arenas in the league and then this one game. Like nothing happened at all last year
I agree. Plus Pop's coaching was somewhat suspect at times.
It's pretty funny we have a GUARD that can't DRIBBLE. UNFKNBELIEVABLE. ISNT THAT HIS PRIMARY JOB?!?!?!?! I MEAN HOLY ITS LIKE A HAIR DRESSER THAT CANT CUT HAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!
Logicical statements like this have no place on ST any more, apparently. Its like they want every role player to be able to do everything while getting payed a 4th of their market value. Green has outperformed his deal and people are still critical.
3pt shooting and defense are apparently 1 trick now? At this point Kawhi is basically the same player, just bigger, longer and more athletic. He can't shoot like Green and neither can dribble.
Beli a starter on a elite defense team? its like you want us to lose. He is great off the bench. Green guards Westbrook, Curry, Wade, Ellis, Harden & Lillard I think we both know Beli can't.
We have a small forward that isn't much better in the dribbling department and people on this thread think he is already a top 5 SF. At least Green hits 3's. Our starting lineup floor spacing would be nonexistent if he didn't.
Green is a great bargain tbh
i definitely agree. he's a taller version of steve kerr. leave a man on him at all times and he's worthless. u double team the paint and he looks like a superstar. i was really hopking in the off season he would learn how to put the ball on the floor and create for himself. what the fuk was he doing all summer?
Trade him for who? Dude is making $3.7m this season... that's not even close to MLE money.
NBA fans love overreacting after meaningless regular season losses, tbh..
He's a forward. We're talking about a guard here......
But, yes, Leonard's lack of handles are holding him back from being an All-Star and he will never be one as long as he dribbles so poorly.
I think you're missing the point, Green forces his man to stay home. Keeping another defender from collapsing into the paint during drives or post ups. Even if he doesn't hit a 3 it has plenty of value. In game 6 Duncan was exclusively single covered and he exploded for 25 points in the 1st half.
Some players just don't have that skill to drive in the paint and shoot over big men. Its not like a grocery store where in the off season, one can go and pick up a post game and dominate next season. At this point he is what he is and does it very well (3 & D) asking for anymore for the salary we are paying him would be ludicrous.
Tony Allen couldn't hit the broadside of a barn and gets $5 million a season ( uva defender though) Green is the 5th most accurate (active) 3pt shooter in the NBA and makes less than $4 million. Neal can shoot and drive off up fakes, Green can't. Green can play defense and Neal can't.
It really doesn't matter a ton. If you play on the perimeter, one would think you could dribble a ball with passable coordination to a point on the floor and then shoot or pass.
i remember my first NBA game too.
Kawhi can make a god damn lay up/dunk.
This was the first game where he did get rather open shots and did not make them. In earlier games he either had None because he was defended tightly or he had plenty resulting in 15-20 Point games. Really depressing that it had to happen in the most important game of the season yet, but he did his parts in the Finals and therefore I hope he he will improve in Oklahoma as well. His defense should always be there though ...
