green has awoken

[CoachBo]

It's Green's history - a game or two, and then adios in a hail of bad plays. He simply isn't going to contribute much to this team consistently, and his minutes show that. He is little more than an end of the bench guy.

[Eddie20]

he can just get where he wants so easily-he could be big the 2nd half of season
last year in miami 2nd half of season he lost minutes to winslow -i believe this year will be different
isaiah really likes this guy and so do his teammates
green is getting scary good, finally
and brad knows just how to use this

He had a good first half last night, but haven't you been saying this since we signed him?  He has occasional explosions, the same as he has done for years.

This is true. Rollie has his blinders on when it comes to Green and Jerebko. He swore that Jerebko would be a lights out shooter from 3 this season because he has a basketball gym at his new house. Jerebko's responded by posting his worst 3pt shooting season since the 12-13 season.

[nickagneta]

green comes as advertised -scary when he on-

And bad when he is off, which is a lot more often than when he is on. That's not being a downer, that's just being real. Its the reason why he is a vet minimum player and probably will be the rest of his career.

your down 20 the other team is letting up-you put green in and he is hot you get back in the game-the last two games he is 3-4 from three and 12 -14 fg-you can knock or mock me but
it looks like he helped win two away games against good teams on west coast

last 5 games jerebko is 500% from three  and 34.7% for year
for season last year 39.8 and 40.5 the previous
i expect he will shoot better again in 2nd half--the guy has an indoor court and puts up the reps "whats the problem"
green helped win two games "whats the problem"

the other day i posted for crowder to shake green and tell him to" get scary"

[Rosco917]

Green can score in bunches, when he's on...he's on. When he's not...well he can sometimes shoot you out of a game quickly. He's a good fit on this Celtic team where the second unit sometimes struggles to score.

A nice option to knock on his door, and see which Green responds.

There is no problem.  And Green isn't improving.  He has occasional bursts of scoring.  You don't learn how to play and things don't suddenly click at 31 years of age.

[feckless]

Not a lot to disagree with from nearly everyone here except "green has awoken"?  He is what he is, a nice tool to have on the bench for those days when he has it and we need it.  But good defense - seldom,  -consistent, I don't see it coming.

I know I am not trying to knock or mock you rollie and I think most here aren't knocking or mocking you...just disagreeing with you.

I agree with you that Green is a nice player to have to give you an offensive boost but under the caveat that he is only going to be able to do that when he is on, which isn't consistently, which is why he is an end of the bench player for a playoff team

Yeah, instead of Green has awoken, it should be "green hot in first half last night."

He had a good first half last night, but haven't you been saying this since we signed him?  He has occasional explosions, the same as he has done for years.

And one of the lowest basketball IQs I've ever seen. There is a reason he doesn't play more, and won't.

No one ever accused Vinnie "The Microwave" Johnson or Andrew "Boston Strangler" Toney
of having high basketball IQ's.

Gerald Green is what he is, an uber athlete with a great shot, able to score in bunches.
He has turned into a serviceable defensive player, he doesn't turn over the ball that often. He is a good rebounder.  And he is playing on the wrong team.  He simply won't get the minutes that his talent should afford.  He would have been better off playing in Chicago, Washington or LA-Clippers,  OKC or Houston.

Its ironic, because IT was largely seen as a back-up guard-a journeyman- even here in Boston, until he started. He could score in bunches was thought of a a score first, undersized PG that looked out for himself first.Once he got major minutes, Boston's rebuilding advanced. 

Gerald Green has answered the call, a number of times this year. And besides IT, he is the only one that can create his own offense.

Shooters need reps in order  to be effective.  I am surprised he's played as well as he has in such a limited role.

I'd like to see him get consistent minutes-25 a game.

Toney and Johnson were very smart players, and they played defense.  And since when is Green a good rebounder?  His career high is 3.5 per game, every other year is much lower than that. 

Green shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence as guys like Toney, Johnson, IT, Jamaal Crawford, etc.  They all have similar roles, but every one of them not named Green gave their teams significant scoring the majority of the time.  Green will have a hot shooting quarter every week or two.  It's not the same thing.

Green is like Marcus Thornton, every now and then he gets hot and people get really excited. Then he plays a few more games and you're quickly reminded why he's a career journeyman. Point is don't get too excited for these type of mediocre guys. They earn the vet minimum for a reason.

This.

And 25 minutes a game for Green, with all his warts, is a recipe for defeat. We're trying to win games, not elevate the subject of hero worship.

[Dannys Chipotle Guy]

as many have already said, Green is what he is.

He is a terrific athlete, who is a streaky shooter. If you get him when hes hot he can give you bursts, but if you count on him for anything at all on a consistent basis you are in trouble.
