Another bad game from uncle Jeff

[chenaren]

Green doesn't know how to play with Rondo, or vice versa 

[pokeKingCurtis]

Or Green is just the way he is. UGH.

It's not like he's that much different before Rondo came back.

[sed522002]

Really has nothing to do with Rondo. Probably his match ups..I don't know. He had half a season without Rondo and still only had a few "big" games.

Hmm? I wouldn't call this having a bad game per se. Scored 17 points on 12 shots. Got to the line plenty of times, only missed 2 shots from inside the arc. Simply had a bad shooting night from behind the arc. It happens. Grabbed 5 rebounds, 1 steal, zero turnovers.

Scored the bulk of his points in the first. Then completely disappeared. Then proceeded to score like 5 points on free throws at the end.

For those who want him to take the next step, this is disappointing. imo he's looking like an option 3 than an option 2.

JG just scores when he's hot now. But if he'd assert himself a little he'd be so much better.

17 and 5 in a competitive game is not bad. Maybe not what people hope for, but not bad. Sully played poorly tonight and nobody bats an eyelash.

When a veteran who earns 9 million per year got outplayed and outhustled by Tucker and the fat marshmallow twins, I call it bad.

Except Sully's still basically a rookie. There are no expectations.

There's hope and expectations for JG.

Didn't see the game (job), but perhaps an adjustment was made, and Jeff moved the ball and took fewer shots?

If he's a 3rd option, that's okay for $9M.

I don't know why there is a need to keep saying that stats tell a story, just not the whole story.

Check when Green scored the majority of his points. He had 8pts in the 1st Q and 10 at the half. He got to the line for 4 more points when there was only 1min left in the game. So that's 14 of his 17 pts in the first half + last 1min of game.

I agree, Sully (Hump) had a bad game. Should be mentioned more. I'm still mad at CBS for inserting Sully at the end when it should have been Kelly... just look how it turned out, we had a chance and it was blown. It was good hustle by Sully to rebound it but it was a bad shot, he should have sent it back out. I thought he forced it a few times. He did grab 8rbs in 26mins though.

I don't disagree.

This season, though, is a season full of opportunities for JG to step up his game and become a force.

We've had him play without Rondo. We've had him play with Rondo.

There's been lots of games like this where if he'd just turn it on a little more we'd have won.

The glimmer of hope I personally had for Jeff is kind of fading.

As a third option he's fine.

His style of play fuels the frustration, though.

[LilRip]

At this point, I'm kinda resigned to the fact that JG is who he is. He's a wildly inconsistent role player who can blow up for 40. If you look at him through a role player's lens, he's somewhere at the top. If you look at him as part of a core or as a solid #2 guy or something, you'll be quite disappointed.

Time to move beyond calling Sully a rookie.

Jeff green disappeared in a game??  Hard to believe isn't it?  he had an average green game I think. Nothing terrible.

If you wish to moan about poor shooting, look at rondos 7 for 22. Rondo is back!

Well, considering his rookie year got cut short, he'd have had a year of NBA experience right about now, give or take.

This is an up-and-down year for Sully. As a young player going through so many changes, I personally give him a lot of leeway. He even injured his hand this year.

But with Jeff, in my opinion, if he really, really wanted to, he could take all the shots he wants.

Of course, it's not just about scoring. He could (and imo should) also grab more boards, be more aggressive on D.

This is a year where JG has nothing to lose and everything to gain. He has the keys to the car. Yet he hasn't taken advantage. That's what I think.

There's still half a season to go, though, and he's added a little pull up jumper to his game.

You know, I've never been one to complain when Jeff takes "too many shots". Because he only ever takes more shots when he's hot.

I don't think JG has gone 7-22 this season. Because he always seems to stop at 5-15.

I'm not advocating that he jacks up shots, though. But if JG doesn't take a shot, then AB or Gerald Wallace will be taking that shot. In close games like the one against Phoenix just now, JG making a couple more buckets and asserting himself would have made a huge difference.

Hell, the team as a whole was shooting something like 35%. Everything was set up for JG to save the day, but he didn't.



And Rondo's "inefficiency"? Seems he was only missing layups today. It's not like he's jacking up shots. It's much better than what it looks on paper, as I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.
