How about Greens down the lane thunderous Dunk. That was awesome. This guy is really starting to come into his own. He should be starting.

It was awesome. Now just need to see more. Love the decision he made. Green is really starting to impress me. Time to ship Bass out maybe.

In response to Kirk6's comment:

Well with Rondo out, this should force Doc to use his players more. He is loyal to a fault. I am actually liking this team better without Rondo. And not just because they won a gritty game today. But because it opens up possibilities for more players. All the dribbling and crazy off shoot passing from Rondo is gone now. And they actually ran better today without him. Now, just straight b-ball....

I thought his D all game out shined the dunk.  He should be in the starting lineup some how, some way.  The more comfortable this cat gets the better he will be.  He will get comfortable quicker in the starting 5 and more minutes.  Magic and Rose seem to think KG and Pierce will be in other cities before long.

Yeah, that 11 points 4 rebounds and 0 assists in 42 minutes were awe inspiring.

His Defense was big today...and he even pump faked once...

  If you were in his shape a little over a year ago, you may think different!!

In response to snakeoil123's comment:

Nice job ignoring his defense...

He had massive impact on the game, yeah I'd say his athletic abilty to stick Lebron in crunch time was pretty awe inspiring.

Snake I am going to not agree with you on this one. His D on Mebron was very good he did things PP cant do anymore. Nobody stops mebron but keeping him at his average slowing down wade is what beats the heat.

Come on, Snake.  Give credit where its due.  Jeff's baskets were important baskets and efficient (50% from the field) and as every poster says - he D was critical on Lebron.  We would have won in OT if Paul weren't sleeping under the basket while Green is being pic'd off.   Jeff was playing the way he did against Carmelo as a stopper and remember he had 17 points against Atlanta.   The kid deserved criticism earlier but he's starting to come around.

I've always felt that Green needs to start and be given a consistent 30+ minutes to be efficient. I mean he averaged 15-16 PPG in OKC as the 3rd scoring option (and that's when OKC was trying to make him a 4)...he has to at least be decent.

 

Green was simply wild-eyed on defense taking on LBJ. That's the most engaged I've ever seen him play here or in OKL.

The dunk was great too but the defense reminded me of the type the Cs used to play, vintage 2007-8.

JGreen was really ballin', busting his azz and I loved it!!!

wow you can have a positive post I knew you had it in you

I know Green's been inconsistent. He has good moments and bad moments, but this guys good moments are big time. He can do things on the court that not many people can do. I just dont think hes going to become the star that Danny and Doc want him to become on the bench. I hope they start him and play him big time minutes, this was one of the few games he got big minutes and seemed to get better as the game went on. You want to get the best out of him? Play him.

Jeff Green will start once Pierce is traded.

After the win the fans should've been chanting "PULL THE TRIGGER... PULL THE TRIGGER!"

HAHAHA

In response to Kirk6's comment:

the best play was at the first of the game when Lebron got to take about 5 steps on his layup and then a couple plays later we get called for traveling.

Thanks for shining a 5,000 watt spotlight on your basketball IQ.

 

In response to antiqueman1's comment:

Isnt it sad DOc needs to be forced to do this?

In response to Karllost's comment:

Oh what a cute insult.

He played great D.

He was not strong on offense, rebounded poorly and had o assists in 42 minutes.

Enlighten me on what you disagree with basketball genius.

 

In response to snakeoil123's comment:

Some reason you left He played great D out  of your original assessment of Greens game?

That was by far the best and most important attribute to his game yesterday, giving Lebron difficulty getting the shots he wanted.. especially down the stretch and OT..   11 points isnt bad (11% of teams total) on 50% shooting...

it was a tough, grind out game where only one team scored 100 pts after 2 OT's and JG shot 50%, only 2 others on the C's shot any better...

But youre still missing the point.. JG's defense  was clearly the attention getter  and you didnt even notice it in your original analysis
