MILWAUKEE—This is supposed to be Danny Green’s time, a proven playoff shooter with vast post-season experience who can get red-hot and steal a game or two for his team at any time.
To say the playoffs have been a disappointment for the 31-year-old Raptors guard is an understatement, and it doesn’t take the most analytical of basketball minds to figure out Green has to be better if Toronto is going to prevail in the Eastern Conference final with the Milwaukee Bucks.
He’s not getting a lot of shots — only five in Toronto’s 108-100 loss in Game 1 — and he seems to miss the big ones when they do present themselves, a troubling combination.
