Danny Green is F'ing terrible.

[steeledl]

Having two elite perimeter defenders is a real advantage and one of the reasons we've come back to contention since 2012. Danny makes mistakes on that end, but he's a real asset overall. Not sure what's happened to his shot. Give him an off season to fix it before contemplating moves.

This is team needs to improve this offseason . Parker will regress further.... We can't have a Danny green Parker back court next year and expect to compete. We don't have a lot of flexibility right now.... Best case is Timmy (sad to say this) and Manu retire and we move greens contract.

Spurs aren't going to move Green, tbh..it makes much more sense, especially financially, to wait and see if this season was an anomaly..if he ultimately reverts to last year's version of himself, there's literally no realistic alternative that could match his output for a similar salary..

Yeah I think ya'll are missing the bigger picture here. Danny green goes as the point guards go. He has one offensive talent and that's hit shots if he's in rhythm. Unfortunately he's having a hard time getting in rhythm because the balls not coming to him as predictably because he's not open as often. The reason he's not open as often is because a) teams have made it a point to run him off the line, and b) the guards aren't penetrating enough to move the defense like in 2013-2014 which is partly a result of patty and parker sucking and partly a result of our new reliance on the mid range shot.

Basically the team went all in on a new way to play the game when they got LMA and it has left some of the 2014 guys without a purpose in the new offense.

Yes in an ideal world Danny Green would be able to adapt his game and man up but he cant he's a mediocre player with one talent that has fallen by the way side and I'm not sure it's fair to beat up on him for it.

It's the same with Tony Parker, the guy just doesn't have it anymore and it's not quite his fault he's just old and his game could never adapt to his age.

The only guy that's struggling that has all the tools and all the ability to fix it is Kawhi, which is a good thing and a bad thing. We'll find out what he's made of and if he's the real deal over the next year, but if he proves to be nothing more than what he is at this current moment which is a stellar defender and an offensive role player we're going to need to find some more talent to be serious contenders again.

This is on point. It's also why I want Manu to start. He's the only one that can get Danny good looks that are in rhythm, rather than the stupid bail out shots he's forced to chuck up right now.

He's an excellent defender. We've had a phenomenal year defensively and a huge part of that is because of Danny's defense. However he's a liability on offense and against Golden State, plain and simply his stellar defense is not enough to make up for how useless he is on offense. Defense normally wins championships, but the name of the game is still to score more than the opponent in order to win. And if nobody can score, than what good is defense? Don't take this literally, but even if our defense was godly enough to hold the opposing team to 0 points in a whole game, we'd still need somebody on our team who can score at least 1 point in order to win. There's 2 sides to the game. -Defense without offense is just defense.....

Someone needs to throw a bottle at this wide open front rim bricking mf

The funniest part about those people is they think he's still an elite defender lmao, dude has mailed it in all season. He dgaf anymore

He's not the defender spurs fans make him out to be

Has anyone else blocked a Curry 3?

[DenialTwist]

They just need to get a decent starting point guard and Danny will play better. Trade Tony Parker and Mills for Jeff Teague and look for a better backup pg.

[tholdren]

Has anyone else blocked a Curry 3?

Lol. Work for espn?

[ceperez]

He just needs to get the ball at the right spots at the right time to shoot in motion. Parker has done a poor job.

[UZER]

Not hitting 3s is having the biggest impact no doubt, but it's amplified by the fact the guy literally cannot dribble more than two times without committing a turnover. That's is just inexcusable for a starting 2 guard in the NBA. He is rendered completely useless on offense if he's not hitting the 3. It becomes 4 on 5.

Then with parkers issues, it's 3 on 5.

[ViceCity86]

He's basically Hedo Turkoglu in 2004 at this point.

[tholdren]

but can he block curry 1 time? That's the real question.

[Rob123]

Haha blaming others for DG shooting 30%

Guy you have to be either mentally re ed or 500 pounds and never played basketball. I never once blamed anyone for Danny greens shooting in fact I said he was a bad player. I did however outline how to make the most of his limited talents which we are not currently doing.

...idiot

[tholdren]

] 500lb idiot

[DarrinS]

I have the strangest feeling that DG is going to be HUGE in these playoffs. Flame me if I'm wrong.

Shameless bump

Here's to hoping he keeps it up

Or a couple of extended breaks between series.

You earned it. I hope you get to do it 11 more times.

Obviously we have me to thank for this thread for turning Danny's shooting around. Thanks, me.

Just what the doctor ordered!
