Still the most reliable role player on the team tbh

Hope he can carry good shooting into the playoffs. That's all that matters at this point.
Greens stats on shooting look great. But he didn't continue to shoot or score after the half. He had 14 at the half and scored 2 after that. Granted that GSW played better defense on him after the half because they figured he was out of his slump--but he continues to look hesitant or tries to dribble or pass which often is a turnover in the making or a waste of time in our offense.
Only 30 minutes... It was basically Game 5 against Thunder redux: 2013 Finals LDN in the house but how about giving those minutes to Manu defending Klay?..
When I say that Pop is a thoroughly washed-up coach as far as being an in-game chess master, people get mad..I have absolutely zero faith in him in the playoffs..
Did Green get in trouble? Right after the game, almost everyone went to celebrate with Kawhi. Green was already halfway to the tunnel.
LOL SA "fans" that don't understand Danny's value
He's part of that 'weird' Spurs mix that pop has to deal with. Not a fan of DG but if he catches fire...
Question is, is he worth those times when he does ? He's put on the floor to see if he will but, it's a hard position to put someone in to tell them, 'if you catch fire, you're in. If you don't....come have a seat.' Miss 2 or 3 quick 3's..you're out. DG is a player that that you put in to test where he is. Trouble with that is, obvious. It puts pressure on a player to expect immediate results which is the an hesis of being a shooter. Of course, you could say, 'That's his job'. I don't think Pop is doing the 'keep shooting' with DG that he once did. He puts him, takes his temperature and goes from there. He's either making shots or not but he's not leaving him in there for extended periods telling him, 'Keep shooting' whereas in the past, he did. More tools to use to waste time with that. They aren't going to feed DG if he's cold. He's too much of a liability otherwise.
Green is an All-NBA Defense candidate. People who don't understand how important he is to the Spurs just don't watch enough basketball.
Yup I agree! Green's true value is not offense but his defense.
The Green Lantern can defendddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd!

He needs to be more than a threat defensively to make this team complete. Sure his defense is great and I never argued his value on that end. It is just hard to score when you have to play 3 on 5 with Danny being a non-threat as well as Dedmon. Danny is key to the Spurs ringing, but it is with his offense that will make this team extremely dangerous. If you all cannot see that, then I wonder if you watch basketball at all.
he needs to go..his defense doesnt make up for his offense...there are other guys we can get who can defend decently, but arent a dud on offense to the point where you get scared if they dribble or pass
The haters never learn.
2nd best player in this series so far![]()
Now THAT is the Danny Green that needs to be out there every night. When a team actually has to GUARD him, this team looks worlds better. Great work tonight for Green. Now lets all hope he keeps it up. Crow is fun to eat. FEED ME DANNY!!!
ok man
"he needs to go..his defense doesnt make up for his offense"
yes it does.
"there are other guys we can get who can defend decently, but arent a dud on offense"
decently? We don't want decent defense. Curious who you have in mind though.
The return of the Green Lantern,
not good for the rest of the NBA

Hoping he gets some confidence and rhythm and carries it into the next series when they play a team that's supposed to be an actual challenge.
Never doubt my precious precious LDN
This thread could get real funny next round when we play a better team. And Wayne Seldon isn't his defender.
