...because everything he does is going to be scrutinized to death over the next few months by the Celtics fans and media. 

It's never easy to replace a popular guy, but to replace him 2/3rds of the way through a run at a title?  The kind of spotlight Green will be under is going to be very different from what he's experienced in OKC. And that's not even going into any issues he might have in the locker room.  Our guys are pros but it's human nature to be a little harsh on Green after he replaces a guy everyone loved.

How he deals with this kind of pressure is going to be very important in getting this team back on track for Banner 18.  Here's hoping Jeff can pull it together, learn the system, and make big contributions for us going forward.  But let's give him at least a few games before making snap judgments, eh?

Yup.

Huge opportunity for this guy to come in and cut himself a piece of the legacy though too. 

Dare I say he has the opportunity to be the Len Bias the original Big 3 never got?
