Boy you are really fighting for your irreplaceable DG.
Give it a rest. Dude had regressed and been non existent this year

It would be nice if he could get back to shooting 3s like he was earlier in the season..still, though, he's a top 3 perimeter role player in the league(behind Porter and Crowder) according to virtually every credible metric available, can't really ask for more, all things considered..
It's very evident that many posters on this forum don't watch other teams/players outside of Spurs games, tbh

I love when matrics are used to prove a point. Because they tell the whole story.
DG is not a top 3 perimeter role player. A guy who can't dribble, set up teammates, or scope in the paint.
They don't tell the whole story, of course, but I don't think you understand why role players are nothing more than just role players in the NBA
Still, though, they're much, much, much more credible than the "eye tests" of posters who constantly want the Spurs to replace their players with rejects from bad teams..

I actually think Danny did a better job on PG than Kawhi. Stupid thread bump.
Kawhi's best off the ball and situational, but Danny is the better workhorse defender for most perimeter players. They work extremely well together when they fully synergize, as we all know. It's even more important with Kawhi being the team's offense. Imagine how tired he would have been had he needed to guard PG AND score. , he might have gotten into even more foul trouble.
Ya, I understand the bump because he missed that easy layup and shot poorly from 3, but mentioning his defense is a strange talking point, since he did a great job vs. a top 5-7 wing player..
Not to credible if it has him as a top 3 perimeter role player.They don't tell the whole story, of course, but I don't think you understand why role players are nothing more than just role players in the NBA

i guess it's too much to ask a role player to work on his dribbling skills. Or to score in the paint. Such a difficult skill.
This is so funny.
It's like the Spurs played the Pacers just one game...On the road Kawhi wasn't in foul trouble, defended PG extremely well, and Kawhi still scored +30 points.
But sure...Kawhi can't defend the best opposite player and still score ...Like he didn't win a FMVP for doing exactly that against LeBron.
Danny's player fan is a funny guy after all...
It is funny to see chinook scramble here and start saying some crazy things. Only to protect DG.
If you gonna act like Kawhi has been foul-prone, you should remember this...
That is one weird, amazing factoid. It makes me order how rare such an accomplishment is.
Danny has been trying to grow his offensive repertoire, but after two years, it's clear that this is his ceiling, which is in certain ways disappointing. He's basically a Bruce Bowen, his value is as a defensive specialist, and knocking down the occasional 3 pointer.
There's nothing wrong with that role and frankly, Pop values limited guys that can do the little things you need done. Plus, he's on a good value deal.
Spursfan should just adjust their expectations accordingly, tbh...
tbh Danny's been hurt quite a bit by Parker's decline
back when parker was penetrating at will, danny was the primary beneficiary and he never had to put the ball on the floor. now that parker sorta just dribbles and passes it off to danny, too many times he needs to dribble which only leads to disaster.
this is why dejounte needs more run, we need a penetrating point guard to mask danny's offensive shortcomings and highlight his strength
Protect Danny from what, exactly? You think Chinook is afraid your imbecile posts will hurt Danny, so he's got to protect him?
OMG - you've just uncovered a vast wing conspiracy.
Palangi is weird, man. I've had him on ignore for as long as I can remember, and the dude still has that cost-controlled apartment reserved for me in his psyche. I pride myself on having a good memory even about mundane things, but I have no idea where his beef comes from.
Protecting his bad over rated evaluation of the guy. Calling him irreplaceable.
I see you're still butt hurt you were wrong about Murray. And can't admit it.
Cost-controlled.
Yeah, I always sort of scratch my head when people talk about players being "protected" on here. You especially - I think you must be protecting about half the team, based on the comments.
It's crazy that I shill for players on a team with the second-best record (and closing). If I were more rational, I'd think the roster sucks and would lose to OKC.Cost-controlled.

LMAO! You ing goofball. I probably admit I'm wrong more than anyone else on this forum.
I don't remember saying anything about Murray other than I didn't think he would be ready this year, he can't shoot for (yet), and wondering if the Spurs should have developed him as a slashing-passing 2 guard. I still think that's on target - at least within a few degrees of la ude. If I said something else about him that you have a problem with, link to it and I'll be glad to admit if I was wrong.
Have fun with that.
I'm not even sure what it means to be "wrong about Murray" right now? You can argue that both people who like him and people who don't are both equally wrong right now.
Deniability. Ignorance best friend.LMAO! You ing goofball. I probably admit I'm wrong more than anyone else on this forum.

Heh. I'd almost bet that there are players that you've been accused of hating AND protecting, by different people. Or the same person, under two different accounts.
