... One thing I noticed is that Green takes off far too far from the rim. He's been doing that most of the season but I thought it was because defenders were able to stay chest to chest with him on his drives and angle him away from the rim. Since he still did with Novak guarding him, I think it's just a bad habit. ...
I know we all get on him for his bad games so how about showing some love for how he did tonight. Seriously though his spark on offense being aggressive and his defense on Carmelo if he can give us that in the playoffs that is all we need. I see a lot of trade scenarios where people want to ship him and bring back a guy like Francisco Garcia well Melo would have eaten him alive. I'm glad we have a guy like Green who will not get totally abused up against Melo or even LeBron, plus I think Jeff will get better as the year goes on having had heart surgery not even a year ago.

Maybe he is still afraik of full contact. Wouldn't suprise me. Going full speed with the upper body against defenders after a heart surgery, isn't easy mentally i guess.
Not awesome enough to find a trade.And as Tommy said "I could score on Novak."
I've seen this Jeff Green before.
I want to see what happens in the next 3-4 games.

I definitely think this has something to do with. The play he fell hard he was very cautious to get back up. I think by playing more aggressive like he did last night will break that mentality.
Great aggressive game on both ends of the floor for him last night.
The problem with Jeff Green isn't his abilities, it's his consistency that people question. With Jeff's ability there's no reason he can't average 15/5 with this team

I'm glad we have a guy like Green who will not get totally abused up against Melo or even LeBron, plus I think Jeff will get better as the year goes on having had heart surgery not even a year ago.He is, however, the only guy on our roster who can defend Melo and Lebron over a 48 minute game. Pierce can try, but we need to save his legs for our offense. There was a reason Pierce was so fresh late in the game; Green did a lot of the dirty work on Melo early on.
I think Green needs to play at least 25 mpg. He seems to need to get into a rhythm. He's not effective when he only plays 15 minutes.

I agree...offensively he is an iso player so he needs to settle in. It's not like he's coming in and moving a lot away from the ball and getting easy looks....which would be nice but right now it isn't his game.
I have a formula for the past two games.
The better guard defense has caused more turnovers.
More turnovers lead to more transition opportunities.
More transition opportunities means more chances for jeff to jam on people's heads.
More jams lead to beastmode jeff appearing.
Beastmode jeff leads to better numbers.

Actually, he jams on peoples heads when he gets set in iso situations and beats PFs, who have no business manning him up, off the dribble.
Cudos for Green , another solid game under his belt.
Pierce is a great cheerleader. I liked seeing Green getting good minutes on the court.
Like to see Green put some defense on HArdin.
The drive past Beasley and dunk over Jermaine is his best of the year. Super aggressive and an impressive drive considering he really wasn't given much of an angle. It was all his length.Yeah.
I've said it before: with all our wing and guard depth some are going to be left in the cold on a given night. Not that Green has been real consistent but between him, Jet, Lee, Bradley... someone will get a bit left in the cold or the scoring will be balanced.
Anyways, love to see him play that way.

I was glad Doc gave the bench the time on the court when they clearly had better energy than the starters.
