interesting question, tbh..
Srs question..
It's frustrating how much Belli and Manu eats Danny's minutes..
Dude deserved 4-8 more minutes tonight tbh
He played 27 minutes. Give it a rest. Marco and Manu had good games, anyways (well, at least the second half for Manu was great while stinking up the joint in the first).
These games of small ball are in some ways ideally suited for the Spurs' bench as the Spurs can go pretty deep at the guard position and Green/Ginobili/Belli/Kawhi can all get decent minutes.
Tonight, we had:
Kawhi: 39
Manu: 27
Green: 27
Belinelli: 16
Not a bad minutes distribution, tbqh, imo, fwiw...
We won, right?
If he had a couple more years under his belt, tbh.
My apalosic doin' the Lord's work tbh...Danny might have the shortest leash of the 9 man rotation....
Manu had more minutes than Danny going into the 4th quarter and for the majority of it
it was around 18 for Danny and 24 for Manu when I checked
Ginobili should be the one getting 18 and Green 24-30
his shot was clearly going and Pop yanks him early
at the 6:50 mark in the 1st
he needs to leave him in if the shot is going and sub out if the shot isn't so he can get a bit of rest to guard Jackson
Green had a plus-minus of 30, while no other Spur had one greater than 12. Why did didn't he play more?
He benched Green at around the 9:20 mark in the third, which was much more egregious.
I don't mind manu playing the fourth since he got it going late in third..But he Sucked so bad from the 10 minute mark of the third till the 3 minute mark.
Why wasn't danny playing those minutes instead of Manu? I just don't get it...
Beli played fine today but this isn't his series tbh. When OKC's best players are all currently on the perimeter, there's no excuse for your 2nd best perimeter defender to not play 35-40mins....
Yes.
Provided he could dribble the Frkn ball.
Which he can't.
Marco shouldn't be getting more than 10 mins a game in this series. Give Green those 6 extra minutes imo.
If Danny could dribble/penetrate (like pretty much every European EVER), he WOULD get more minutes
Pop is conditioning the team for when Danny disappears in games 6 and 7 of the finals, like last year, the team will be used to playing without him. Wise decision.
Pretty strange argument, blaming a role player after he was the best player in the Finals through the first 5 games, tbh
OKC shot 2-16 against Danny.... let that sink in...
amen, we need Danny's D way more than Marco's offense because you can throw a jersey on the court and it would play better defense than Belli. There isn't that big of a difference between Danny and Marco's offense but a large difference in their defensive ability
Exactly. I'll cover that more in tomorrow's thread. Danny was the best player on the floor.
Look. I love it when Danny goes on a roll. But the sad fact is said "roll player" is a starter. Said "roll player" cannot dribble/penetrate worth a . Said "roll player" was 2 of 19 when it mattered most (in games 6 and 7). The problem was, which is lost on you, the series didn't end after 5 games.Pretty strange argument, blaming a role player after he was the best player in the Finals through the first 5 games, tbh

The more I think about it, the more your comment irks me. Danny Green's choking when it mattered most cost us a le last Summer. It may not bother you, but it sure as bothers me.Pretty strange argument, blaming a role player after he was the best player in the Finals through the first 5 games, tbh
was he very effective tonight? Yes. I'm glad. Should we advance, Will he not choke in this year's finals? I sure hope he doesn't. But the fact is..... He did choke in the 2013 finals. All the snarky comments in the world will NOT change that.
of a stat, if true. Can Danny play D? Yes. Does that mean he should have played more than 27 minutes in a blow out win? Hard to say. I hope he rocks it like this for 7 more wins.
Danny hit some rough shots (that pull up 3's), but more importantly, he was a boss on Durant for stretches.
