hopefully he was pressing for spurs to win 1000 wins for pop
Love Danny, but he's in the middle of a terrible slump right now... he's 4-26 (15%) from downtown over the last 4 games...
His form looks good, he's sometimes short, sometimes long... there doesn't seem to be rhyme or reason for the misses... hopefully his confidence doesn't drop and he keeps on shooting them... eventually they'll start to fall again...

Not worried.
just needs the all star break to rest.
Probably tired legs. Him and Bobo have been our iron men this year and it seems both of them are feeling it. I bet this break can't come soon enough for them.
Eh, shooters gotta shoot, he'll get it back. I don't fault Danny for missing. He's taking good shots and they just aren't going down.
He still plays defense but ing make a shot please.
Yeah the end of that game was really frustrating. He had about 4-5 chances to hit a dagger (or close to it) but missed them all.
Its been his MO for years now. He'll prolly be money again come post-ASB. I'm more worried about Kawhi/Tony/Tim/Diaw's shooting.
Not worried he can heat up just as fast.
I'm willing to chalk it up to variance too. We already know how good of a shooter he can be.
Dude will reel off like 18 out of his next 20. Non issue but it's not helping us.
I don't think we have to worry about his confidence dropping.
Icy hot currently in his icy stage. He'll snap out of it.
It's a little frustrating how streaky he can be but it'll be great when he's hot and making 8-10 from 3 or something absurd like that in a game (or his finals runs).
This is an underrated reason why we're struggling.
Yeah, it's great that Danny is an elite perimeter defender, but if his offense is so damn putrid that he still loses the battle with his assignment despite shutting him down, then he'll be a net negative player even while playing great defense.
God damn he keeps shooting he doesn't give a : lol
Yeah, but all we need from him is just 2-5 or 3-7 on threes every game, and we're suddenly a much scarier team. , even 3/8 or 4/11 is fine, whatever keeps the defense on their heels.
This is one of the reasons I haven't been too worried about the Spurs play of late. Over the last five games their combined 3 pt. % has been under 33% (and it would be a lot lower than that if not for the Orlando game).
LAC - 33.3
ORL - 43.8
MIA - 37.9
TOR - 25
IND - 24
They're shooting .367% on the year compared to .397 last season.
Sure the losses are frustrating, but their defense has kept them in games and I'm guess those shooting numbers should improve after the ASB, once they get into a rhythm (fingers crossed they stay healthy). I'd be a lot more concerned if it were the other way around because at this point the defense pretty much is what it is and it's hard to imagine a big change in that category during half a season.
Not worried. Not that he's not missing some wide open looks, of course, but let's face it, his shooting is largely a barometer for how the offense in general is functioning. Throw in the random ups and downs of a season and probably tired legs and it makes sense.
He might not go on to shoot his usual 42-43%, but he'll probably end up at 40%, which is fine.
Of far greater concern is Diaw and Bonner. Though an improved three-point shooter in recent years, Diaw has mostly been erratic throughout his career and this season he's downright anemic. As for Bonner, he looks done. His shooting wasn't quite the same last season and it's fallen further this season. How long until teams get more and more brave about helping off of them? Just imagine the offense then.
This always happens, people forget how ty Green has been throughout certain parts of the season in his career, but at least his defense is there this time.
Pop consistently cuts Danny's minutes when he isn't shooting well despite him contributing in other areas, s me off tbh
Tonight he had momentum changing defensive plays and had a few really nice rebounds, one in particularly in the final 2 minutes were he beat out Hibbert
Yeah, Bonner definitely looks done, but I can live with that since I cringe whenever he's on the floor during the playoffs anyway and maybe the writing will be on the wall by then.
Diaw's 3 pt. shooting (.303% this year) seems to be more a function of how much he gives a , and right now I don't think he's very focused. His 3pt. percentage jumped from .267% to .615% after he was waived by Charlotte. Granted, that was a pretty small sample size in SA, but his numbers were .385% and .402% the following years. Hopefully the playoffs wake him up.
Actually Pop benched him today because he gave him a shot handling the ball and he turned it over. This is an area where Danny hasn't improved, and Pop is going to keep going back to Beli in such cases, especially when Manu is out.Pop consistently cuts Danny's minutes when he isn't shooting well despite him contributing in other areas, s me off tbh
