It's definitely a worry. It would relieve a lot of Parker's backcourt load, which isn't sustainable.
Bad 3 point shooting killed us in '04, as well. And those players were supposed to be "shooters."
we blow the out of the league and its contenders with way our D locks down...there were like 4/5 daggers WIDE OPEN 3s missed by Manu/Green to make this +15 by mid fourth and completely bury the Cavs..
It is just incredible how streaky and unreliable we've become from distance(5-17 tonight)...Maybe the improvement comes from within (Simmons?) because I'm near going to give up on Green and his ICY SEASON...All the hope is we don't die by it in in the postseason especially against the Dubs..

They just blew the out of the best team in the East, and the best player in the game. I think all this team needs to do is keep improving. Play the best ball they are capable of, and watch the dominos fall.
A 4 point win isn't a blowout. Tbh
If we could only had the guy with the best 3PT % in the league.
It happens... Patty was ass and all of a sudden made an backbreaker 3 pointer... I still believe in Danny getting his touch back... there's still half a season to go
Pop has to keep pushing Simmons/Anderson.
Simmons looks like he will play some minutes in the postseason. He will have to bailout Danny.
Anderson very raw, but you can never tell when Pop is about to have it with someone and throw him out there. I saw him call D'west when he was open for 3 in a corner. D'west made his shot, no big deal, but it was a good sign he was willing to take that shot aggressively.
Some of it will have to come from these guys. Even just in the regular season a couple 3s they can give you does take some pressure from others. Just got to keep pushing them.
Tonight was it for me with Danny. I am still upset with him for this crap ass game he put together.
Bonner....
Same here. Danny is going to on his detractors, tbqh.
paging the corpse of Ray Allen
After spotting them 15 points in the first quarter it is. Outscored them by 19 in the last 38 minutes of the game.
I know what you're saying, but winning that game is huge. I think they can stand pat with the roster they have. I think they SHOULD stand pat with the roster they have.
I really hope so. To this point though all he has done is the bed.
Not panicking because it's still early, but hopefully Danny finds his stroke again. He alone would completely change the dynamic of this offense if he starts hitting like he's capable of.
Say it one more time and click your heels three times, dorothy.
Also, we don't "need" to go after anyone.
The shooters on this team outside of Kawhi just need to wake the up. If they do, RIP NBA.
These guys practice day in and day out shooting. Unless an undisclosed injury is hindering them, I'm not worried about them all of a sudden "forgetting" how to shoot, it just isn't possible.
Where's that article on Danny endlessly practicing his stroke. It's a reminder of everything you don't see these guys doing.
I hope he does. I have been on his camp but he's loosing me honestly. i would not mind for him to silence me up the rest of the season.
We already got 2 of those.
It actually makes me optimistic for the future that despite their bad shooting the team is doing so well.
Imagine if DG was just a little bit better, the blowouts that this team would do
The problem is the 3pt shooters on this team are trying to do too much, starting with green.
He has to take, open, not open, i donīt care, i prefer a block on him over him dribbling, but he has to be mentally strong, because if he is not, then he is not reliable which takes us to....
Manu, has to play more with the starting unit, because teams, (as cleveland did today) start to disrespect our shooters, and you need someone who can punish from 3 or with a penetration or with a good dish, problem is, Manuīs workload increases a lot, because not only he has to log more minutes, but usually while the other teams starters are out there he has a tougher defensive assignment, as it was today, so he is less effective on offense, taking us too...
Boris and Mills, our other two rotational players that can take and make a 3, are streaky enough from 3, and even more when Manu is not able to create good shots for them, so it all starts with our first shooter, and goes along to the last one.
Danny just have to take his 3īs, even if he is 0-6 he needs to keep shooting, and only drive when there is no shotblocker inside, thatīs his job, he is 3 and D, he is Ding, now he has to 3in to.
I wonder if the Spurs would be able to pitch Robert Covington from 76ers for Bonner (maybe Butler as well) plus 2nd Round Pick (or maybe future 1st Round Pick).
With Kawhi's dominance at the 3 point line this season, we've been able to weather Patty and Danny's drought. Having him "camped" at the line might seem like a "waste" to some people whining about it on the board, but, he really isn't a natural ball handler, and we need three point shooting, and he leads the freakin' league. All that adds up to it being a pretty good place for him to be much of the time. Not to say shot distribution is perfect, etc. But, there's nothing wrong with camping him out there as a 3-point threat. It's what the team happens to need from someone sometimes, and he's damn good at it. It's almost like he's over himself, being able to stand in the corner a bit.
Very much agree with you. Unstated in all of this is that the guys most would be willing to trade are actually young guys with upside that helped in this particular win... particularly the kind of player you want to keep.
Beyond Boban/Simmons/Anderson, the guys at the end of the bench won't get minutes and they don't have trade value...
Unless someone wants to trade Danny that is. (I don't.. I guess deep down I hope Danny still gets his groove back.... I guess I am no longer counting on it). This might be the low statistical season for Danny.
This. There isn't a savior out there. There are legitimate knockdown shooters on this team who haven't been able to get in rhythm. It happens. Winning in the postseason isn't about having a team full of Steve Novacks, it's about getting hot at the right time.
On top of that he was playing 40 minutes and playing tough D against Lebron, by all means let Tony create and let him stand on the 3 for some possessions. Pop knows what he's doing.
