me, Allen was giving me a heart attack. Allen dunking on us?
Because fans only look at scoring(including most Spurs fans, mostly idiots), but Ray Allen scored 0 points when Pop switched Green on to him for the final quarter..
Great coaching move that will probably go unnoticed, tbh..

I did notice! I don't know why was Bellineli guarding him in the first place
Long. ed.
Had a good defensive performance once again.
The Danny Green hate on this forum is unnecessary.
Green is at his best when he has a job on the defensive end ... then somehow his offense also finds ways
L.D.N.
its not that hard to limit Allen imo
Spurs just left him wide open for whatever reason like 5-6 times
usually with Marco probably calling out a switch when Tim Duncan is the guy who woudl switch and he obviously wouldnt
if nothing else, Spurs need to win to prevent that royal bag Allen or even Rashard Lewis from ringing.
He deserved criticism for what he was doing in the first 3 quarters tbh.
Allen missed several wide open 3s in the 2nd and 3rd. This obv doesn't disprove your point, in fact it probably makes it stronger.
Danny seems to have his offense fueled by his defense, the opposite of most players.
Green definitely did great on Allen in thet qtr defensively. I think some credit on the offensive end has to go to Diaw. He was great on some plays, including that hook/loop pass to Green for the 3..
To the OP: true, but we damn needed him
It's truly amazing how clueless Belinelli is on defense, tbh
And ya, it was frustrating watching a player like Ray Allen, with no speed remaining and limited athleticism, beating Spurs defenders all over the floor..
Danny Green is the best SG defender in the league, period. His only compe ion is Tony Allen.
You always blame the fans and the media for Danny doesn't get attention...but what about Pop?
The fans react to Pop's decisions, because is Pop -not the media or the fans- who chooses offense over defense and sits Danny when his 3's aren't falling or he loses the ball..
Got to agree.
Tony Allen's defence on KD was incredible.
tp said during game he kepted encouraging danny and in the 4 danny caught fire
Ray was left wide open most of the game and didn't do a lot of damage.
I thought when he ed up that inbound, and then left Ray Allen wide open for a 3 (that Allen knocked down) in the 1st half, Pop was going to bench him for the night...
Glad he didn't...
He probably didn't bench Green because that wasn't an inbound pass on which he turned it over. It was after a steal Green just had. So even though that steal turned out badly, Danny was still making plays on D. I think, had Green made that mistake off an inbound pass, he may well have sat.
If they don't choke that game 4 away when they had the lead late they win that series in 5 games..... Memphis outplayed them most of that series as far as the first 5 games go, easily. They were a better team in the earlier part of that series, fell apart in games 6 and 7 though.
True, but Pop has actually stuck with Danny for longer stretches since abandoning him a little in the Mavs series..
I also can't really analyze Pop's motives, as he's a hard-ass that seems to treat Green the same way he used to treat Tony Parker earlier in his career..
Did y'all hear Pop in the press conference though? He said shooting is his only skill and if he's not hitting them he might as well play someone else. I think Party was about to come in for him before he hit the first three.
Love Pop but couldn't help but smh at his comments tbh.
