I somewhat agree with moiso.
Green either shoots it, drives straight to the rim where he either loses the ball, gets fouled or gets blocked, or he passes the ball away.
The problem is, he does many of the things that elite small forwards (Carmelo, LeBron, Durant, Pierce) do when driving, except he doesn't force it. It seems he just takes what defense gives him and adjusts his game accordingly, instead of forcing it and making the defense adjust. You look at LeBron, Pierce, Carmelo, Durant, they drive strongly and finish strongly. The least of their expectation if getting fouled. They don't have "losing the ball" in their dictionary of possibilities.
If you look at him when he doesn't have the ball, he has a pretty bad off-ball movement. He literally just stands at the 3 point line doing nothing.
If he demands the ball by approaching the ball handler and raising his hand for the ball, many times the person with the ball stops executing the current play and gives the ball to Green, only for Green to dribble the ball twice or thrice and give it back to the handler.
Also, is he scared to dunk? Does he not want to dunk to preserve his body? Does he not dunk because of some medical reason? So many times when he drives, he is so close to the rim that he can just simply dunk it and get the point, instead, he goes for a layup which sometimes goes and sometimes doesn't. No one is asking for a fancy between-the-leg-360-behind-the-back-double-clutch-turnaround dunk. Just do a simple double hand dunk to get the point. Then again, if not doing it helps him preserve his body and keep him and his legs healthy for the playoffs, then I am fine with it.
Lastly, before people on this forum start telling me that I criticize green for everything and I am one of those stupid critics and all, let me tell you all one thing: I was one of those extremely few people in the entire Celtics fan base that kept believing in Green in the beginning of the season, when he was just awful. I was one of those people that was willing to give Green time due to the fact that he just came back from a huge surgery as well as a season without basketball.
I kept believing in him until the all-star break but now I am starting to lose it. Let's be real. This team is designed to get serious help from its bench in order to get anything done this season. Green's role and contract means he has to do the starter's work while coming off the bench. If he keeps playing this inconsistent, we won't be able to do anything. I don't care whether he becomes a Top 5 SF or not, he is on this team to help us, not become a top 5 sf. That is a bonus if he becomes that good.
I am just hoping that he can do this consistently in the playoffs.
In my opinion, to be successful, we need following output in terms of scoring from these players:
Paul Pierce - ~20 points
Kevin Garnett - ~18 points (his work on defense already does enough)
Jeff Green - ~18 points
Jason Terry - ~12 points
Jordan Crawford - ~12 points
Courtney Lee - ~12 points
Brandon Bass - ~12 points
Avery Bradley - ~12 points
Chris Wilcox - ~8 points
Terrence Williams - ~5 points
DJ White - ~4 points
Shavlik Randolph - ~4 points
This totals to 137 points and if we can score somewhere around this regularly in the playoffs as well as play good defense, I GUARANTEE YOU ALL that we WIN every game.
Now, I agree that not everyone will play, because Doc most likely still won't play the young guys, despite them showing good signs in the limited playing time. The best thing that can happen is if Doc plays them.
Also, this is just my opinion. If you think otherwise, you are more than welcome to share it.
