I disagree with you, a former college player at OSU (can't remember his name) actually gives out an award (collegr award) each year for the player that impacts the game the least (based on certain statistics). If you look at all of Manu's mistakes and at the time he committed them, there wouldn't even be a question that Manu cost the Spurs the championship. Green was more of just an invisible player out there than anything.

On top of that no one expected Green to play as well as he did this series. As a matter of fact for five games, Danny Green did Manu's job for him.

Shane had a good game tonight though, for a Dookie of course.

Disagree all you want but Danny Green is a catch and shoot guy in the NBA. Similar to how not-so-good things typically happen when Ray Allen puts it on the floor at this stage in his career.

When Danny Green drove to the basket he destroyed the disclipline of Pops offense where he is there to spread the court..not make plays.

Danny Green did not do Manu's job unless your saying his explosive production made up for Manu's contributions points wise. Manu facilitates the offense and drives to the basket which he still did fairly well for most the game except the jump pass and the twoother passes out of bounds.

Each miss Green had was a transition basket the other way but really if you see a replay watch how DG was laboring down the court like he had a back injury or something. It was slight but not how he was moving these playoffs. I think he played injured...also he was pressing to do more than he did in game 6.

Danny Green is a really good player Chuck so I am not on board with the worse player on the Spurs. He stopped Lebron in transistion more than anyone I have seen since Lebron has been in the league. Also he is as good as Sean Elliot, who I think is a good player. He is not Glen Rice good and definitely better than Richard Jefferson.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.

      I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
