Danny Green - Benched for Final 16 Minutes of Elimination Game

[Capt Bringdown]

I think you mean '12. Tbh, '13 had someone else as the designated choker.

2 for 19 in games 6 & 7. Someone else, aka Manu certainly played his part, but Manu was our Choke-Artist in residence.

[offset formation]

You talking about MVP candidate Tony Parker being outplayed by Mario Chalmers in a game 7?

Or nephew missing a couple free throws when he had a chance to clinch before we got to game 7, most likely, tbh.

[kobyz]

He's such a stiff, I think I'm better than him making a play on offense, he's cringe worthy with the ball in his hands, like last guy choosen in the playground bad, and he's also overrated defensively, he's gonna be more and more unplayable the rest of the playoff...

After HOTS revealed to the Heat the secret to why Green was shooting so well during the first few games in the 2013 Finals, Green rolled up in the fetal position and built a brick house during the final couple games, including 6.

6/23 in game 6 was HOTS, too.

Truth bomb

Vet minimum role player? I haven't watched the Raptors once this year, not even the playoffs, for some obvious reasons. I was happy with Green going there if it meant our trade for DDR and Pertl came through. We needed both those guys, Danny not so much

[TimmyBuckets]

Let's sign this guy. There's our 3-and-D SF

[tmtcsc]

Well yeah...playoff Danny showed up.

[TD 21]

Obviously ended up not mattering, but should have been back in for the final possession to give them another spacer.

Bigger mistake was Brown not benching Simmons down the stretch. They were getting good mileage out of Butler-Embiid PnR, but inexplicably went away from it late. Once they started doubling s bag, Simmons' defensive presence was irrelevant, so they'd have been better served with either Scott or Ennis to give Embiid room to roll.

You have to consider that benching Simmons could easily cause issues between him and the coach..

Of course. But even though I never for a second thought they were winning (even told my brother in the final timeout that s bag would hit the game winner), the 76ers technically had a legit chance to pull the upset and Brown's job was/is supposedly on the line.

At that point, politics should be out the window.

[timvp]

Green was benched because Pop had to play one of his pets. The dingo needed playing time.

Danny Green is still better than 2/3 of the roster we had last season

[Kurgan]

Truth. We're not allowed to laugh at Green when we had Fatty Mills and Marco logging a combined 46 mpg last season. Or how about our rotation of retirement home candidates(Pau/Cunningham/Pondexter) eating up 32 mpg. Last season's roster was abysmal.

Thanks to nephew. The end.

I prefer you making a play off the dribble over Danny!

[TDfan2007]

He's one of the best shooters in playoffs history

He's had 2 good playoff runs. Every year since has been underwhelming

[look_at_g_shred]

He's one of the best shooters in playoffs history

That's like when they say the spurs are the best 3 point shooting team percentage wise..it means absolutely nothing

[HarlemHeat37]

That's like when they say the spurs are the best 3 point shooting team percentage wise..it means absolutely nothing

That doesn't make sense, the Spurs were 1st in 3s because of their low volume..

Green is 20th in NBA history in playoffs 3-point attempts..

NBA history, best 3-point % for players with over 300 attempts:

1. Kawhi 42.3%
2. Bowen 42.2%
3. Green 40.9%
3. Klay 40.9%
5. Nash 40.6%

Over 400 attempts:

1. Green/Klay
3. Nash
4. Curry
5. Ray Allen

500 attempts:

1. Klay/Green
3. Curry
4. Derek Fisher
5. Kyle Korver


Fans have weird expectations of role players..role players aren't consistent..

This guy was a no show 2015-2018

[TheGreatYacht]

This guy is such a ing scrub

Feels good being the only one that has called out how bad this lazy has been for the past 4 years. Advanced stat virgins take another L against me, just like they are with Bertans

[Play Boban]

[r0drig0lac]

Still would of rather gave them pau or mills
