been garbage for 2 years now tbh.
Yeah..a bit.
been garbage for 2 years now tbh.
Battier was really a true 3 who couldn't check quick wing players even in his prime similar to Tayshaun Prince. By his 10th season, he couldn't stay in front of your average starting wing player & had to be converted to a stretch 4 similar to Marvin Williams (they BOTH played 4 in college).
Danny is most comparable to Raja Bell who peaked at 29-31 although that could be attributed to playing w/ Nash. Thabo is a current player that's comparable to Danny & he's still an elite defender at 32. Tony Allen is also playing All-NBA defense at 35 (when healthy) but he has low mileage & was an elite athlete so losing a couple steps wasn't going to end his career.But it's a strange day we Spurs fans are trying to act like 29 is getting old for a player.
"Is LDN Dead?"
No... his name is Dedmon.
Defensively - no. Offensively - good chance yes. Unless the offensive scheme changes, Not Green's fault. Just the change in the focus of the offense due to the personnel.
Today he nailed both shots and didnīt up the offense.
On the other hand he defended like me. And i am not an NBA player.
He made his shots but played defense poorly.
Matching the eye test; DG hasn't been good the past couple of weeks..
Of course. Only a couple of people actually understand the game.
Probably about 10 people in this entire board.
Spurs is tan is top 50 in this board...
Just needed a little Cialis, tbh..
Icy Hot tbh...
There are teams like Houston and Cleveland where you're going to get Good Green no matter what else is going on with him.
I love him when he slaps around his long d**k in clutch moments..a joy to watch..
Green played like all last season but he stepped up in the playoffs. Notably Game 5 against OKC that got cancelled out by Softdridge/Enrique sighting.
Why is he called LDN? Seems I missed something.
He has been alive and kicking.
I think the narrative that he's dead is not accurate this season.
Apparently the lasik was much needed.

Frankly, one has to love Danny's honesty... he made me chuckle with these quotes:
More on Danny... frankly, he had a very good game.
Obviously, Manu's disruptive defense stands out in the second half and Lamarcus and Tony had great games scoring, but Danny was very significant on defense.
Sean said he thought Danny was a little too tight last year, feeling the weight of his huge new contract, but that his year, his contract is hold news, so he's playing, shooting looser, better.
who really knows?
Danny's second TO was awful. But he deserves a ton of credit for starting the defensive comeback. He came out of the locker room digging every ball in the paint. That prevented the Suns from exposing the Spurs' bigs. Then Gasol and LMA seemed to get it, and they started contesting shots at the rim. Then Manu came in and just went HAM.
That type of defensive teamwork is what's been missing this season. More than Kawhi and Green or Parker and Pau, the team needs to work together to make sure everyone's job is easier on D. Don't let guys go one-on-one. Throw hands at them. Make them change direction on their drives. Gang rebound. That's a mentality, not a scheme. Glad to see it come together for a game. That just needs to continue for here.
There was some hilarity here.
We can laugh about it since it was a win...
More than Pop, watch Pau!
