Danny “Danny Greenger” Green has sort of been sucking to start the season, coincidentally the first season of his big-money contract that sees him collect a cool 10 mil per until he turns 31. I don’t want to be the guy who starts bringing up “contract years”, but…actually, I love being that guy. Let’s not pretend that, just because Danny Green plays for the Spurs, he can’t succumb to the temptations of playing hard for big money and then just coasting for a little bit. If I was in his situation no amount of Pop’s magical motivation juice would make me want to play harder or do better. There’s a phrase about “dem checks” that I could use here but I don’t remember what it is. Something something dem checks is how it goes. Oh well.
I’m just going to assume that Danny will elevate his play once the playoffs come around. It must be nice to have Timmy D around to guarantee you a playoff spot so you don’t have to try in the regular season.
