You can't have your cake and eat it too. Everyone loves Green running the floor with Rondo, but you want to complain about him not crashing the defensive boards with the other big(s)? He can't do both, and considering he may be our best breakaway player and weakest rebounding "big," I prefer him doing what he has been doing, running.

You most certainly can get defensive rebounds and also run the fast break.

And be out in front on the break? I'm sorry, I haven't caught many of Usain Bolt's basketball games in Kingston.

Since when is it a binary thing to run the break, and also get rebounds over the course of 20 plus minutes in a game where you'll have what 40 or so possessions?

You're not supposed to run out for a layup every time a shot goes up, unless you are the Atlanta Hawks I suppose. Depending on rotation, where the ball is shot, and his floor position Green should be getting more defensive rebounds than he has been. I'm not really worried about it, I think its a blip statistically, but the fact that he's running the break shouldn't change what rebounding expectations we have out of our SF/PF.

Sure he should run whenever possible. Doc likes this team running. The starters slow the game down enough, let the second unit run. Of Green is playing the 4, that likely means Pierce is at the 3, and I'd rather him rebounding, as he is a better rebounder and a great trailer.

Green belongs in the open floor as opposed to getting tangled up for boards with bigger, better rebounder (IMO). It would be nice of he was ripping down 6-7 boards in 20mpg, but he's just not that kind of player/rebounder. So use him where he shines.

Yes, if a jump shot goes up on Green's side of the court he should absolutely be releasing.

Uh, original poster, what the heck are you talking about??

Bosh is a MUCH better post player, actually an elite post player, and you somehow think Jeff Green is better?

Your post is indefensible by any measure. Take off your green goggles

Bosh an elite post player? Can i have some of what youre smoking? Bosh is primarily a jump shooter. mainly the reason he has been called soft all year and the heat have been called out for having no post presence is the fact that Bosh lacks the post play they need.

To jump on this 75% of Bosh's shots are jump shots.

True, he's primarily a jump shooter, especially on the Heat.  But that doesn't mean he's not an excellent post player and definitely better than Jeff Green.

So was he excellent at georgia tech?

Because i never though he was very special in Toronto. He has a nice turnaround jumper Ala KG and his athleticism allows him to put it on the floor and burn a ton of 4's, but when i think Chris Bosh, low post game is not among the top things that flash to mind.

I think he is better than Jeff Green, but that's more a function of JG being pretty average than Bosh being "excellent"

No, he's not a banger, but that's still low post play.  I mean aren't turnaround jumpers and hook shots Green's go to moves on the block as well?  And I'd say Bosh at least finishes at the rim more than KG and Green.
