Pietrus is invaluable to this team right now, particularly against the Heat. Shows you why Danny got Jeff Green last year - we need guys who can man-up Lebron and still give us something on the offensive end. He has struggled all playoffs with his shot but he found it last night.
As Doc says..."gravy"
What does Jeff Green have to do with it? Right now, I take Pietrus over Green in a second. He's a better defender and has hustle like Posey as well as a 3-point shot.
Jeff Green has the athleticism and strength to keep up with LeBron James.
To people who don't like Jeff Green, I think you'll eat your words. With Rondo and time with the time, I think he's going to pull a Bradley.
I don't dislike Jeff Green but he hasn't shown me (yet) that he can do what Pietrus has done in this series, and MP has been clutch like that when he was with Orlando as well.
When the C's drafted Green, I've felt is was the "safe" pick, a guy that would be a good, steady NBA player, but not a big star. I do agree he will fit well with Rondo and Bradley in the up-tempo game, but I don't know if he can ever be a great defender. JMHO.
