Those back to back wide open misses to start the game were all one needed to know that he was in for a long night.

No.

He played his best season in Toronto shooting 46.5% FG and 45.5% from the three. Looking at his stats, he's shooting the same percentage as his last 3 years in San Antonio.
SO toronto must have been doing something right with him. This guy is an enigma.

Look gut feel is that he’ll come good, but December has not been kind to him whatsoever

As of now, KCP is what we expected Green to be and vice versa

He didn't average double figures across his 10 years career.

I really don't get what people expect from his offense this year.
He's here to hit clutch 3 pointers in playoff games, and that's it.

Well what’s he doing out on the court for so many minutes then?

Danny Green is what he has always been. Will play smart team defense and can hit 3s. But as most 3 and D players they tend to be off and on. Vogel needs to better assess who is hitting shots during the game.

I expected him not to miss so many completely open three pointers. That's my only gripe with him.

No.


Wasn't he this bad in the playoffs last year?

He was even worse from 3pt range.

I expected a lot closer to the right at his salary and experience. Lebron and AD, I expect more space than with Toronto. I wonder what his percentage is on wide open 3s.

What happens if the playoffs come and he still isn’t hitting them? What people expect out of him is to hit his open 3s. Is that too much to ask for when your on a $30 million dollar contract?


BTW why is it every time this team signs a ‘shooter’, they suddenly forget how to shoot.

Like KCP, I think Green will eventually get out of this slump. When he does I will be here to remind you all how terrible you all think he is.

He will get better. We have the second most home games going forward. That means our shooting coach can tweak whatever is provoking the misses.

What does Green do that justifies a fifteen million dollar per year salary?

Look stylish. Kuzma only gets 3 million a year because he rocks up on gameday in ... that green suit thing

That is the roster our coaches were handed.

He has been declining the past couple of seasons, his prime is in the rear view mirror.

It isn’t Green’s fault that Pelinka panicked and overpaid him.

Looking at advanced defensive metrics to see how Kuz was holding up, I noticed that Green has been trash.

That is all.

That’s the feeling I got watching the games but figured the numbers would show a different story. Guess not.

Yeah all that talk about him being our Kawhi stopper in the playoffs...nah, it ain’t happening. Dude will shred his ass up on one leg.

We need dudes that can help Bron/AD. Caruso has been fantastic...everybody else...eh.

Overrated shooter, provides nothing else on offense. His help defense is decent but constantly fouls when he doesn't need to. He should be traded if we can get a shot creator. DG for Teague sounds good to me.
