Green a rebounding machine. 3 this quarter!
His effort has been there all game, making a real effort to box out when he hasn't gotten the board.

If he can keep this level of effort up he should get his rebounding back up.

A bit late, but I can't believe that Doc took out JO 4 minutes into the quarter.  He was active offensively, blocked a shot, and altered a couple more.  Then he puts in 6-6 BBD for no apparent reason.  All of the sudden the defense falls apart.  

Very late, but it wouldn't surprise me if Doc was spooked by what happened to Shaq and is deliberately treating JO with kid gloves.

Steal by Baby, assist by Baby, basket by Baby

But where´s the fun in pointing out when he does something right, huh?
In the summer of 2017, I predicted this team would not win a championship for the next 10 years.

3 down, 7 to go.

Green has quietly played pretty well the last couple of games.  His defense has actually been pretty good.

He has been okay. Shooting 1-6 tonight.

I like the way he is playing even if the shots aren't falling.

Baby on the block with 3 guys on him, wide open West and Allen on the perimeter...Baby jacks it up and misses.

That is just a smooth move by Delonte.

The biggest problem isn't his fault, it's Doc's and it's twofold: he needs to play exclusively at the 4 (even if it dramatically cuts his minutes down) and we need to run fewer plays for him when there are better options out there.  

I'm all for him shooting open jumpers, but he doesn't need to try to post up bigger players when guys like Jeff Green and Delonte West have better matchups.

Delonte and Shaq being healthy are the two keys to having a shot at 18

I'm guessing Delonte's looked pretty good this second half?

I usually like Baby; however, tonight is horrible.  I can't believe Doc has felt the need to not play JO at all and has played BBD since the 8 minute mark of the 3rd quarter.

If I was Doc I'd sub Paul right back out after that shot, and not put him back unless the lead dropped to 8.

I hope jermaine only playing 12 minutes isn't a sign his knee is acting up
