Sucks, Spurs have an iffy chance vs. the Warriors if he continues going downhill, tbh..
Law of average.
He will shoot 45% in playoffs

Danny Green is giving Spur fans flashbacks of Jaren Jackson.
He wasn't shooting well, and he was still extremely critical to the game. And the one shot he made was the most important one, because that's was when Russ deliberately left him open. So it was like Westbrook told Green, "I no longer believe you can hurt us," and Danny was like, "You were saying...".
That said, yes, I'd like him to shoot better. But he's the best two-guard on the roster right now, all things considering.
WestBrick ALWAYS gambles & leaves shooters open, I don't think he even care about who he's guarding if his man is off the ball.
HAHAHA!!!
I've never liked Danny's form and release on his shot. All wrist. Still, others have had terrible form and did well...and Danny has done well in the past with it. But, bad form can come back and bite you in the butt.
He should be shooting 100+ 3 pointers a day, and working with Chip the entire time. That 3 needs to come back, cuz we need his D.
Green is paid $10 million a year for 2 jobs. Hit OPEN 3s and play defense and he hasn't done either well this season.
His defense was incredible
I'm concerned, but really great D
No he's not the best 2. He's a liability on offense. He plays scared. There was such a lull in the offense where spurs need a scorer. Either put martin in, or bonner. They were picked up and kept for offense. Playing a sound team, spurs would not have won last night. Green's defense was less impact than thunder being playground people
There's not that many elite backcourt defenders in the league.
Green making threes is just icing on the cake.
His shot will always be respected. And in the case he goes on fire, there's no way we lose the game.
It's not icing, we need it.
But yeah, he did some awesome D as always. Just got to have last season shooting back.
I am just as concerned as everyone is about Green's shooting slump, but the guy is playing solid defense and he is hustling trying to make plays. From what we can see when he is shooting is that he is thinking too much and not shooting on instinct and muscle memory. I think he just needs a string of big shots in key games to help his confidence. However, I don't think people should be saying he is not pulling his weight. Green has done a lot for this team and hit a UVA lot of 3 pointers for us. He is in a slump. Slumps don't last forever. Come playoffs, I think he will get the ice water back in his veins and be just fine.
he's #3 in defensive rating and #7 in net rating overall
Who cares? Only people who don't watch
those who care about winning?
Who cares about jimmer?
If Danny never hits another 3 in his life, I'd keep him in the rotation just for his defense.
Not a supers ious guy, but Danny needs to go back to number 4 ASAMFP. Went back and looked at his shooting form last night compared to the finals, and it's the only difference.
Huh? He's still a huge plus defensively. He did a great job on Durant last night.
In nights where we need his D, he's indispensable, tbh... but there will be nights where we won't need to shut down X or Y player, or Danny just doesn't match up well (ie: Monta), and you can always use a more offensive player.
The good thing is that we do have alternatives on the team now.
I have a feeling Martin is here for exactly that reason.
