Remember when the celtics played defense? I miss those days..

I think D.Cunningham is Minnesota's best defensive option against Jeff Green.

so far tonight their best defensive option against Jeff Green is to just let him shoot 

[Neurotic Guy]

Green is clearly playing differently the past 3 games. Moving on offense, they are looking for him to post-up, he is involved in the offense almost every possession.  The results are good offensively. He still seems consistently a step or 2 behind on D.

Jeff's playing pretty well..

Steimsma looks good out there.  Why can't we get bench guys like that?  oh wait, we did.   

Right...short $$$ too..!

With the exception of you know.. Not actually having that short money to spend, sure.

right, because all that money thrown at Green, JET, Lee, Collins and Darko has been soooo worth it.

Obvious that a lot of these guys aren't grasping the defense

Steamer did better than collins.....

Green needs to play like dis all da time love when he's dis aggressive

I like Courtney Lee on Shved. I'd like to see Doc sync up their minutes.

I don't think Jason Terry can defend Shved. Too small. I think Shved will be very comfortable in the pick and roll against Terry. Especially passing over the top of Terry to find open shooters but also in shooting over the top of the smaller Terry too.

Another reason why starting Terry and bringing C.Lee off the bench was the better option tonight.

Collins and Darko I'll give you, but with the money we spent on them we still couldn't have resigned Stiemsma.

And there's no way I'd rather have Stiemsma than Jet, Lee or Green. And Green didn't have anything to do with Stiemsma by the way.

[Meadowlark_Scal]

Garntt pushed ol Steamer.....
Green can play like J Worthy....then he sometimes plays like he is..NOT Worthy...!

[Who]

Is that Derrick Williams that is defending Jeff Green?

He is really struggling against Green.
