What was your excuse for Jimmer last season?
thanks for the props. It takes some concentration away from watching the overall game to focus in on just one player--but once your eyes/mind sees it enough, you begin to see it every time it happens. I don't think it is a strategy that Pop is trying out in anticipation of GSW. After all, every other guard/forward is trying to fight through to the top of the screen. Against GSW you can't go beneath the screen or an undefended Curry or Thompson will kill you with 3s if they have the protection of the high screen man. Curry,especially, only needs a second of time and very little space to fire off a three. You have to stay with them if possible and try to disrupt the PNR by getting between them and the pick man. Not possible every time, but you have to try.
I also picked up on Danny losing his defensive court awareness, creating a vulnerability to his man going backdoor on him in the last few games, but not having really studied it sufficiently, I hesitated to bring it up. Again, once you see it and imprint it on your mind, you start noticing it whenever it happens and then develop some anticipation.
It usually happens, I THINK, when he is sort of isolated on one side with another player and it may be caused by losing his man's location while trying to drift over to help out over at the lane. But he gets caught in no man's land--too far from his man with his back to him and not close enough to the lane to really be effective there. He really needs to focus on his man and stay at home IMO. (But this is my take, and the coaching staff may be encouraging the players to drift off their man for team defensive purposes.)

Below is the order of 3% on SA this year
Tony Parker - leads team (sorry krew)
KL
Bonner
Simmons
Anderson
TEAM AVERAGE .376
Manu
Mills
Diaw
West .333
-----
Green .301
Butler .286 (great find)
Ray .250 (Starting PG material)
Sidenote - Danny Green is dead last in FG% on SA, tied for last (ray) for dead last TS%.... Last in WS/48
That's why he shot so poorly?
I will still trust him because he showed he works hard and competes. Just feels that last year´s first round exit where he sucked are still on his mind.
I was checking the amount of open looks he is getting and percentage wise is similar than last year. The dropoff could be understandable if it was just his scoring, but is his percentage that is taking a huge hit.
Explain your conspiracy theory.
Ball don't lie
That would mean he just sucked.
I believe that.
Jf better than ray
Not where it counts.
Ball sure didn't lie last season -- or do you have an excuse for Jimmer?
Sample size
50 games
Lol. Come back when you have minutes played and attempts
509 minutes played.
166 attempts.
What's the excuse?
Sample size
How many minutes and attampts would he need for sample size to not be your excuse for him?
lol
Danny Green 4 for 5 from downtown w 5 mins left in the 1st...how ya love that!
Should trade him right now
OP is a got
lol hating on Danny Green.
I could never hate Danny Green even if he never plays good ball ever again.
He brought defense back to the Spurs. Remember that we had given up on it before we made him a mainstay.
Never forget.
All he needed was an elbow in the mouth by Beverly to wake him up.
Just don't piss off Danny Green or he's going to make you pay!
