Danny Green is F'ing terrible.

[Kawhitstorm]

Jr Smith: 39%, 40.3%, 39.7% then a 33% season

I thought of JR too but he takes terrible shots & isn't necessarily a spotup shooter. He has been zigging & zagging his entire career.

Ya, I'm not sure if there's a precedent..like you said, Fisher's down season came when he transitioned to a bench role..

It's definitely not something that has occurred more than a handful of times in the 3-point era IMO..you can find players that aren't great shooters that had horrible shooting years compared to their career averages(Batum, Ariza, etc) but I'm not sure if you can find a spot-up shooter that went from a consistent high-volume 40+% to a 32% shooter in less than 1 full season..

Should have kept Ferrari

[spursistan]

Danny got paid and he's living the life, tbh, can't complain about that...

Funny too because that happens to a lot of players in a lot of teams, but the Spurs have been dodging that bullet for a while... until now I guess...

It boils down to that, tbh..I think he would have had an even more awful year had he bolted elsewhere..The vast decline of his FT shooting (87 to 75) is also another sign that someone isn't putting enough work in the gym..

Batum was injured last season; Ariza was an overrated shooter b/c his his 2009 postseason performance & does tend to go on a drought.

Marco is shooting 30% this season but that has to do w/ the system.

[weebo]

You can throw patty mills and parker in there too...both are trash vs this team

[Gagnrath]

I know its a coaches job to try and grow players but the attempt to teach green to dribble was a failure that destroyed his shot somehow as well.... Its just weird.

[skulls138]

Lol the loss is a blessing in disguise, and 100% meaningless, all this did was ramp up the pressure on the Warriors and take pressure off of us, anyone who cant see that is a fool

I wouldnt count on pressure being what it takes to beat GS, thats a fools game. Having said that, I do feel like we still can get better and that we have more to learn from them than they of us.

[ElNono]

Should have kept Ferrari

to be fair, Ferrrari got paid and did the exact same thing

[kobyz]

I was the only one who called how it's gonna be after he got the contract while all of you celebrate that contract...

You also said the 2014 Spurs couldn't beat the Heat with Danny Green starting, tbh

[K...]

it could also be that got jimmer destroying the confidence of our shooters, i mean Danny, is explainable, but add mills into the WTF forgot to shoot and then the theory has some legs.

[spurspokesman]

Dudes confidence is shot.

[SAGirl]

@Woj
Danny Green has been playing with an injured wrist all season long from spinning turntables...

Well one of the highest career 3 pts shooters in Bonner had an off year for alleged elbow injury due to cell phone use.

Wow if Danny cost the Spurs a championship due time partying. In reality thought, something has to be going on. It's inexplicable.

[Ice009]

Meh, there's nothing complicated about it..

He went from being a perennial high-volume 40% 3-point shooter and a 45% playoff shooter to a 32% 3-point shooter, which makes him a liability on offense..nothing else has changed..

I don't know if I've ever seen a shooter forget how to shoot to this extent, it's puzzling and mind-boggling..

Neither have I. With everything Green has at his disposal - from world class trainers and a world class shooting coach, plenty of practice time, no other job to go to, I don't think I could ever shoot as bad as Green has this season. It's almost impossible for a shooter as great as he was/is to just drop this far in an 82 game season. It's gotta be mostly mental.

[Gagnrath]

Does coach pop owe Cpt. Jack an apology?

I begin to question.

[Ice009]

Would starting Manu at some point during the playoffs be any sort of viable option? Is he rested enough to take on that kind of load?

[Nathan89]

If we can get some more ball penetration from pf position next year that would be nice. Duncan, LMA, and Green really stall the offense.

He's too old to play major minutes and you gut the bench. Sending DNny to the bench was discussed all season and didn't happen once. He got benched for other guys at times, but never lost his spot.

Start martin. If green is as good of a defender then he will.bolster the defense of the bench. All the starters would benefit from martin stretching the defense. Spurs are playing 4v5 on offense with green

It's a possibility Pop has explored already. The problem with that is that Danny already gets very difficult defensive assignments to begin with covering for Tony. But it's a possibility if Pop feels he can getaway with it and not get burned.

Defense isn't the Spurs problem. Danny played no part in good defense last night. Spurs problem, as it has been, is scoring. Danny got beat by anyone and everyone last night. He had a PF iso him and get and and 1. He had all 120 lbs of curry knock him over to get an and 1. The Danny Elite Defense crap is tiresome

[Mikeanaro]

DG D is kinda passive and his 3 pointer is GOOOOONEEEEE, whats left?

[Dancelot]

I guess Stephen Jackson was right, he is better than Danny Green.
