Title: I am so happy for Green
Post by: OttawaCeltic on January 27, 2013, 04:05:19 PM
He finally gets his ovations in the crowd. He showed great hustle and effort (shout out to Barbosa), the crowd loved him and Ray-Haters can give him TP for blocking Allen's late game J. I've been a long time fan of him since his teen days and I salute him for finally becoming loved in the Garden.

Yes I know he is inconsistent but maybe he'll attract more minutes and get his composure together. I strongly think he could be like a crowd player like Nick Coli in OKC or what Nate did in NY.

Never have I seen such an incredible one-on-one defense on Lebron! Why can't we play the Heat every game in the season?

That's why he's making $9 million a year.  Money well spent.

Jeff played terrific defense. The best I've ever seen him play. I think he deserved to touch the ball more in OT, though.

We don't win w/o the D Green, AB, and Lee played tonight (JET too)! Wade had averaged 30pts the last 3 games, tonight 17pts on 6-20!!

Green was brilliant.

He needs to be at this level or close every night. Give him some more minutes, Doc.

green has always had great physical abilities and i believe could be an all star in the nba. the problem, as i see it, is more in his head. he just doesnt bring the killer instinct with him each and every night.

even from quarter to quarter he seems to shift from dominate and aggressive to passive and invisible. if he really attacked the basket and played to his full ability he would be a great celtic.

if he had kg's or pierce's attitude the celtics would be on their way to the nba finals. i believe that.

With Green on LeBron and Bradley on Wade, I like our chances every time.

He played really well today, but he's been playing pretty well for a while.

People expected him to come in and be Paul Pierce once he signed the big contract.  His game isn't anything like Pierces, first of all.  Second he's barely ONE YEAR off from major heart surgery.

Green isn't going to turn into Jerry West, but people are really underestimating how much potential this kid has.  Instead of trahsing him and bringing him down, why not try supporting your players and helping him getting on track with some confidence and support?

Hope he can finally show some comfort playing here. I think he is under a lot of pressure after his year off to make good on his contract. If he can just play he will be a lot better. If you look at film of him from Georgetown he played loose and really looked like he was having fun. Have not seen that from him since he has been here.
