Rondo and Green just don't mesh together?

[chenaren]

Green looks so lost whenever he and Rondo are both on the court. What the...

[slamtheking]

I don't think it's because of Rondo -- Green has looked just as lost without Rondo on the court

[pokeKingCurtis]

You are mistaken.

As slam points out, he's always passive.

Impressive to be lost and find yourself to 39 points the other day.

He is an inconsistent scorer.  His lows don't make his highs non existent.  This is just how it is.

Green looks lost an uninterested 97% of the time.

TP - He isn't going to be the next Lebron, but he isn't a useless player either. Rondo has looked uncomfortable with everybody since his return. It is going to take some time before he regains his form.

We all knew Jeff was going to be Jeff ....he is in his off mode .....then he'll pop out for an over the top scoring night in a game or two

Green's too nice. Some body step on his toes!

He still averages 16 a game.  He does a lot of things besides score.

I just think people think he's paid like a star (when he's really not) and they expect him to be a very aggressive scorer (when that's rarely his game).

And he's a heat check guy in the way JR Smith or Jason Terry are except he does it efficiently... which is weird but that's how he plays.  Again, didn't score much tonight but had 39 the other day.  Just take the ups with the downs.

What else does he do besides score? Rebound? No. Assists? No. The guy plays most games like he is not interested.

Defense is half of the game and he plays it really well.  And with versatility.

If anyone watched Jeff Green play defense I don't see how they can say "oh he isn't interested".  Does no one watch defense?

I'm not saying he is one of your core players to build around.  But he isn't overpaid like people say for what he brings and he's a really nice complementary player.  An effecient player who scores 16 a night on average, spaces the floor, shoots threes well, is a good defender, has length, and every once in a while really goes off.

Nothing to be so negative about.

I seriously can't think of a better name for him

[Ogaju]

u really think this is about Rondo? If so, who was it before Rondo?

[LarBrd33]

Well for what it's worth, that seemed to be my take-away last season.  Rondo and Green don't mix.  Green needs the ball to be effective.  He needs to drive inside  and do his thing.  In the Rondo-centric offense, Green basically just stood around.  Part of the reason we played better last season without Rondo was because Green stepped up in Rondo's absence.  It's not in the least bit surprising to me that Green's best games lately have come with Rondo sitting.

And btw... what's the grace period on Rondo's return?  So far he's been crap.  Do we not get to fairly judge him as a "star" until next season?  Because as of right now,  his trade value is plummeting.
