Does Danny Green's Shooting Overshadow his terrible decision making/TO's?

[tholdren]

He and Parker have the worst timed turnovers ever. They never happen when we are up 20. They turn the ball over that cause huge swings (such as the last 6 point Danny fail) or momentum killers. The sad thing is about Green is they are lazy passes on the perimeter or, as we just saw, bringing ball up court. what the ?

[Assman]

Not tonight.

[Malik Hairston]

He's arguably the best overall defender on the team and is having a great playoff run..but Spurs fans meltdown when he turns the ball over twice a game..

[Skull-1]

Nice pass to Allen....for three...yes!

Don't forget "Green has lost his shot" or "Green is in Finals Game 6/7 mode" because he missed two bail out 3pt shots with time running down... smh

[703 Spurz]

When he doesn't make shots he's a liability.

[look_at_g_shred]

No his defense does tbh..and it's not like the guy is turnover prone

I dont think it's a melt-down. I think it's a valid argument. 1. He's Slow. 2. He's not athletic. 3. He's overhyped on D (ahem Splitter) 4. He cant dribble. 5. Hes a streaky shooter. 6. Who is he defending today? Wade?

Again, he hits 3-4 3's in a row and people forget he sucks at almost all other aspects of the game. I think he looks good on D because, well, our other defenders are Tony, Manu, Patty (too small to defend anything but the 1), Marco... He doesnt do on offense other than hit staggers, whereas KL is expected to attack and try to rebound offensively.

So, I agree, good run shooting wise, but I think he has more TOs already than he did all last POs.

Most Spurs fans are idiots.

great work calling names.

He's shook. I expected this, but that's why depth is important. We don't need green to win. We need like 3 of our foreign legion to play well on any given night. Doesn't matter who it is.

[jARS mEsH sEt]

Granted it's just one half of one game

[Shaolin-Style]

He's just all around bad tonight. Pop is a madman for keeping him in as long as he has.

he shouldnt even be allowed to dribble.

[Skull-1]

Pop was screaming at him, "F--cking rotate!!!"

[tholdren]

he blows, plain and simple. Soft as a cupcake

[Shaolin-Style]

Well don't I feel like the asshole

[Spurminator]

Balls of steel. And he had some pretty solid defensive moments, tbh

[MI21]

Malik Hairston and MI21 right about Danny Green, per par

now tholdren can be added to the terrible list of posters on this site

[pgardn]

He has a very tough time shooting, passing, thinking after he dribbles unless he is going full steam in a straight line.

This is a real problem. Luckily we have a team that understands this and plays him to his best abilities. He needs to work tirelessly over the summer. Have Leonard cover him in a smaller defined space and just start slowly.

His D and spot up shooting might be the best on the team.

The really bads.

Everyone got in on the turnovers.. they are a huge problem. Spurs need to look before they pass. I know they are usually disciplined enough to be at the correct spots on the floor on any given time but you still have to check to see if the coast is clear before you pass.

[$pursDynasty]

I don't mind the cold shooting at first, Danny is deadly when wide open but the Heat close so fast, wide open is rare, he needs to be more careful with the basketball, and play good defense first and foremost.

[myhc]

I think Danny is guaranteed to have 1 horrible turnover each game that leads to a breakaway dunk. But his D is crucial. Marco and Manu out there at the same time guarding Allen and Wade is frightening.
