It doesn't make any sense that they don't receive widespread recognition for their defense, tbh..2 of the 3 best defensive players on a top-ranked defense, there isn't a duo that can defend as well as them in the league right now IMO..
Best 1-2 defensive combo in the league, underrated offensively aswell
See my American Blacks thread tbh..........
Green +30 tonight.
Makes perfect sense. They play on the Spurs.![]()
I hope someone talks about Green's defense
I hope he doesn't get jealous of all the Kawhi love in the media
Danny is our best defender imo
Kawhi is much better on offense tho
but...but..his defense is overrated![]()
Kawhi's individual defense is definitely overrated..he's arguably the best perimeter disruptor in the league, though, he gets his hands on any ball in his vicinity..
Leonard gets credit, maybe not enough since he won't make an All Defensive team..
Danny though will never get credit..He's always going to be known as a really good defender by all these Black idiot Analyst..
It's just doesn\t work with Danny cause Leonard already gets the recognition as the best defender in the team and upcoming star and you always have to talk about the Big 3...not really enough room to talk about Danny.
Best defensive 1-2 punch in the league.
Kawhi's transition/semi-transition game has improved so much, and ball-handing did too. I remember that up until the end of last season, he looked really bad every time he handled the ball.
Whether they're underrated or not, their growth over the last 2 playoff runs would seem to make a huge difference to how the Spurs matchup with OKC in a playoff series. Green appeared so shook by this environment 2 years ago that he basically evaporated and barely played after game 4. If he can stay on the floor and at least give the Spurs his defensive effort, it makes a huge difference against this team. Leonard was much more poised and ready to play on the big stage 2 years ago, but he's undoubtedly a better player now than he was then and he seems to be so much, much more confident about pretty much every aspect of the game. We'll see how that all plays out, but I thought they both played strong, confident games in Game 1, particularly on the defensive end.
basically this.
Green and Leonard have basically become everything we were hoping for from Bogans and Udoka and more![]()
No wonder we couldn't win anything then!
If anyone is a guaranteed stopper against small guards, it's Leonard. Leonard or Westbrook is the key reason why the Spurs won against the Thunder. Westbrook's efficiency just drops even if his attempts don't.
Green despite being very good, can't affect Westbrook.
Kawhi has a history of being lit up by smaller, quick guards, Green is much better than him. Kawhi is better guarding the bigger, bulkier types.
Damn straight, homie!![]()
Thazs funny coz its the opposite..
its not, Kawhi looked bad against Lillard & Co. ... even against James Harden ... I prefer Green guarding these types of players
damn i quoted the wrong message, i wanted to quote the one above yours. damned phone...
ah, ok ... no problem
