Green had a career year, last season, with Parker having his worst season..
In any case, Spurs le window was shut closed the second they offered Parker that undeserved $45 million extension imo

Danny missed liked 5 open 3s tonight. His shot is just broken af rn
Agreed. Danny has always had a short leash. Pop must have given him the green light.
And Danny getting a big contract. And I don't mean he's taking it easy. I think he's over thinking and trying too hard. Whatever he's going through is mental. It's not that difficult for a shooter to adjust.The only difference between this year's Spurs team and last year's is Aldridge, unless you think Splitter and Joseph are the reason Green went from a 40%+ 3 shooter to a player that can't make anything anymore
The current Spurs team is clearly fool's gold..easy schedule + other expected contenders starting slow + they have been carried by Kawhi playing like the 2nd best player in the NBA, and Parker playing at the same level he did last November, which isn't going to last, clearly..
Green being unable to make 3s makes him unplayable, he becomes Andre Roberson, which is useless in today's NBA..that leaves Mills as the only shooter on the roster, and it forces the Spurs to over-use Manu, along with expecting inexperienced players like Anderson and Simmons to give playoff minutes(which doesn't work in the NBA, they'll both foul out in 5 minutes with the way refs treat unknown guys)..
They essentially killed their style of play/rotation to become a mid-range 2 shooting team that no longer has any depth on the perimeter, and is relying heavily on 2 ancient players to dominate(Parker/Ginobili)..
It's not like Danny isn't getting great looks... he's just not hitting them... it's nothing new either, that's why they called him Icy/Hot.... he's just been Icy/Icy this season so far...
Probably. It was a risky gamble indeed since Aldridge so far has looked pretty soft and underwhelming in the playoffs. But Splitter has been very fragile as well.
I think if the Warriors weren't on such a historic start, this wouldn't be much of an issue but they definitely need Green to be hitting his 3s to compete with the Dubs.
Looking at LMA's career playoff percentages, Spurs are most likely gonna lose
what does aldridge's addition have to do with green trying to become a ball-handler
Also, Danny has historically had bouts of choking when expectations are high. Once he realized the historic run he was on in the 2013 Finals, he proceeded to go like 1-12 or something
Another one of these threads.....Once the Spurs win again everything is fine and dandy lol.....Once the Spurs lose again half of the people are Spurstalk will have a meltdown and will bring up every excuse in the book....
Spurstalk Meltdown!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Nope. LMA is trash and a playoff choker. Should of kept Tiago and our depth imo.
2012: 44% from 3, 15.5 PER, 2 VORP(#2 on the team), 3 BPM(#3), 4.5 WS(#5)

He went from Draymond Green-level advanced metrics to arguably the worst starter in the conference in half a year
green's been getting a decent amount of open looks the last 10 games or so, vs the raptors i can remember at least 3 wide open threes he was not able to make
it may be just an off year for danny tbh
Yep, can't disagree
I've been saying the Spurs aren't as good as their record for a while
Spurs will be fine.
That was Miami running him off the three point line after five games of just letting him shoot. Philibeaner finally made the obvious adjustment.
Tiago has already missed 8 games this year
Losing Baynes is a non-issue.
I guess it'd be nice to have Belinelli's shooting back, but I don't miss his awful defense at all.
CoJo is good and all but not enough to make me regret getting Aldridge
Green can't make jump shots anymore..his occasional turnover would be fine if he wasn't shooting so terribly from 3, which makes him Andre Roberson..what does aldridge's addition have to do with green trying to become a ball-handler
You think Green is missing those threes cause of LMA?2012: 44% from 3, 15.5 PER, 2 VORP(#2 on the team), 3 BPM(#3), 4.5 WS(#5)
2013: 43% from 3, 14.1 PER, 2.9 VORP(#2), 3.3 BPM(#4), 5.9 WS(#5)
2014: 42% from 3, 13.9 PER, 2.2 VORP(#4), 3.3 BPM(#3), 4.2 WS(#9)
2015: 42% from 3, 16.5 PER, 4.1 VORP(#2), 5 BPM(#3), 7.8 WS(#3)
2016: 29% from 3, 7 PER, 0.3 VORP(#9), -0.4 BPM(#11), 0.7 WS(#10)

Are we blaming LMA for Danny's ty shooting performance against the Clippers which basically cost the Spurs the series even w/ Porker being the worst point guard in the postseason & Tiago massaging his vagina?The only difference between this year's Spurs team and last year's is Aldridge, unless you think Splitter and Joseph are the reason Green went from a 40%+ 3 shooter to a player that can't make anything anymore
Dude is missing wide open 3s like he at this point of the season back in 2013: http://www.poundingtherock.com/2013/...oting-analysis
As far as LMA, I've always said Gasol would be a better fit (which you vehemently disagreed) b/c he can affect the game on BOTH ends without scoring. He would have been an oversized version of Diaw & the offense wouldn't have needed to be isolation heavy although Porkers decline required it to a certain extent.
I don't think he has ever had a stretch this bad, tbh..
Adding Aldridge was supposed to make things easier for the role players, too, which clearly hasn't been the case, as he himself has become a role player
