Fair or not, it's time for Danny Green to step up

Pounding The Rock — Full disclosure: I love Danny Green. I think he is a great 3-and-D guy on a great contract. Yes, he does have some flaws but you won't find a lot of better bargains in terms of money vs. production than our Verde. That being said, I'm a bit worried about whether or not Green can give the Spurs what they need right now. For the season, Green has been great. He averages roughly ten points on 44% from three and three boards. He's also part of the best defensive starting lineup in the league and the Spurs do a little bit better with him on the court on both ends. Part of that success has t...

Morning Rehash: Danny Green makes the Magic Disappear

Pounding The Rock — Opening Hash The Orlando Magic have fallen a long ways since their 2009 Finals matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers. They surprised the Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers by being the Eastern Conference representative that year, and matched up against the defending champs in LA. Coached by Stan Van Gundy, that Magic team was essentially Dwight Howard, Hedo Turkoglu and a bunch of three point shooters, which included J.J. Redick, Rashard Lewis and Courtney Lee. Rafer Alston played big minutes, and even though he played very well, having a 32 year old Rafer Alston play big minutes did...

Manu Ginobili took it a step further, outright dismissing the notion that they might [...]
