Lakers fans wasted no time going after Danny Green after poor shooting performance in Game 1 vs. the Portland Trail Blazers.
The Los Angeles guard has been under fire lately for his lackluster showing in the NBA bubble. The top-seeded team in the Western Conference did not look like their usual dominant selves in Orlando, winning just three of their eight seeding games and losing Game 1 on Tuesday night.
Green has been on the receiving end of some harsh criticisms after firing blanks inside the Walt Disney World.
Green went just 4 of 12 from the field versus Portland, including 2 for 8 from three, and an ugly -20 plus/minus, after averaging just 6.6 points per game in the Bubble.
The two-time NBA champion must keep up with Portland’s explosive guard tandem of Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum in Game 2 and beyond. With defensive specialists Avery Bradley and Rajon Rondo likely out, Green’s lockdown D will be crucial for the Lakers to avoid an upset from the streaking Blazers.
