    We can't shoot Kobe-esque from 3 and expect to win.

    We only have 2 natural 3 point shooters: Danny and Mills... the other two do more than that (Kawhi and Manu)...

    Might end up being a weakness, tbh...

    What about Rasual? He needs to play more, tbh... wing rotation was looking winded out there. Anderson blows.

    I like his D, but he's shooting 20% from 3 this season (small sample tho), and generally isn't known as a 3 point shooter, IMO...

    Very small sample... and he's hit lots of 3s in his 30s. He's had seasons with 134, 140 and 145 made three pointers at a near .400 clip.

    So many passed up shots by DG, puts the ball on the floor instead, -- almost seems like he's been instructed to do this. He needs to just shoot, tbh

    well, he also shot 27% in Toronto in his 30s... that's the question with him, does he still has it?

    I'd still rather have him than Belinelli. With Belinelli yeah he'll make shots but give back more points than he makes with his swiss cheese defense.

    I prefer Belli, he's also a playmaker... but he's not here anymore. The question now is Butler or KA, who gets the minutes. And I think Pop plays it by ear depending on the matchups

    KA is like Gavin Escobar on offense and Brandon Carr on defense. Both may hold their ground but they're not going to make plays to make you better.

    Heres a tip to Danny...Stop ing passing semi open shot because you want to dribble the ball.

    Seriously, Chinook probably gave him crazy ideas that he will be an allstar if he expands his game...smdh.

    Scored under 90 points. That isn't going to get it done.

    Yeah, he needs to come to terms with not being a star and just accept his Bowen 2.0 role. Green was like 4th in RPM last year among SGs, so he should be happy that he is a "star" from a hardcore bball fan perspective. He doesn't need to be a scorer.

    There was a corner three this game he could've easily shot but he wanted to showcase his ball handling.

    To be fair though, i dont know if pop is telling him to do it but if he isnt, he is killing his team with his desire to expand his game. The thing is, hes actually going to score more if he just take three balls.

    Ya, I think everybody would rather have Green averaging 7 3-attempts per game, rather than the ugly floaters

    Rasual is only shooting 20%, and apparently the bad shooting stretch goes into last year as well. He's also a less versatile player than Anderson, and has looked poor the last few appearances that he's had bc all he does is just stand at the 3 pt. line Bonner-like, unlike Anderson, who tends to be more active off the ball, looking for an advantageous position, or setting screens.

    Unlike Butler, Anderson is a young kid who may improve through the season (one can hope) and he has already helped us win some games. Having one bad game against the Bulls (all 5 short minutes of it) when the rest of the bench played very poorly does not indict him. Patty who is as pure of a shooter as you have only took two 3s all game. Anderson wasn't going to be open to shoot, and Pop only gives license to shoot semi-contested 3s to Patty and Danny, who have the quickest and surest release in the team.

    In reality, I might have preferred Pop calling a play for Anderson or pushing him to be more aggressive against McDermott. I would have preferred to see him more aggressive, since McDermott is a poor defender and Anderson is very crafty drawing fouls or getting a shot over McDermott.

    He just wasn't open at any point unless you specifically passed it to him to make a play.

    I would not have mind at all if in a game like this Pop went to Simmons either. I would have thrown anyone McDermotts way to force him to play some D. He was resting guarding Anderson.

    I do prefer Danny to shoot, and if he must pass, two dribbles and move it. All his drives attempting to go the basket end up in pure luck. Either he gets lucky it goes in (less likely than not), or he finds someone (has improved finding teammates lets be honest), but he's also just as likely to have the ball poked away, make a bad pass, etc.

    I think Pop would love if Danny evolved a bit, so he doesn't need Manu to close out games, but it turns out, you still need Manu to close out games, bc you can't rely on Danny.
