Jeff Green was a proven starter in OKC. He was the third option behind Durant and Westbrook. He averaged around 15 a game and everyone in Beantown was looking for that level of production when he came here, albeit in fewer minutes.The other night in Washington Jeff proved he is still capable of putting up some numbers, when he does get enough minutes. He scored 20 points and had 15 rebounds. He'll get another chance tonight to get 35 plus minutes. This is really great for his confidence. He's proving to himself and all the haters that he can still get the job done.
But the reality is during the playoffs he isn't going to get enough floor time to put up those kinda numbers. Nevertheless, he can be an x factor for us down the stretch. If the coaches can just stress to him how important his energy is, he could definitely put us over the top. With his size and athleticism he could be a real force on the boards. If he gets out there and aggressively runs the floor, Rondo and D West will find him. That and playing defense is all we need from him. He doesn't have to have the ball in his hands and create his own shots. If he does that every now and then I'd consider that a bonus.
Sort of a TA 2.0
No I take that back.
