Ditto. The "Green just needs an opportunity" myth is false, especially in light of the fact that Green's per-minute production over the last few years has stayed remarkably steady. This Jeff Green is the Jeff Green we're going to get, period.
The myth is a myth; I don't accept the notion that your starting five has to be your best five players. Was Sefolosha better than Harden? I don't see a problem with Green being our starting SF on the floor with Rondo. He's not a better player than Pierce, but he doesn't need to be.
Also, JG doesn't jack up bricks, and this will help keep me from losing my voice while watching games. Admittedly this is a selfish reason.
I just don't see how benching our best scorer is going to help anything.
Well, he's sixth man in this scenario. He's going to get a lot of minutes still, and will be playing against the bench of the other team for the most part. He can still be on the floor for his trademark "clogged toilet" iso at the end of games. Maybe the match-up against bench players helps cover for his age.
