He wasn't a top SF in last night's game, which is what is so maddening with Green. The complete on/off switch his game seems to have at times. And the fact that if he isn't scoring, he brings very little else to the table except as another body to throw out there on defense.
Jeff was top player in the 1st QTR last night, playing PF. (and along side Pierce and the 1st unit).
Check the rotation Jeff played with after the 1st quarter.
- All of his 2nd quarter minutes along side a cold Jet
- All of his 2nd quarter minutes next to erratic, yet fun loving Jordan Crawford
- Half of his 3rd quarter minutes next to the same duo
- All of his 4th quarter minutes next to these two
For that game last night, I am adding up nearly 7 minutes (next to KG) and 8 minutes (next to Pierce) that Jeff Green had shared court time. Those minutes are chopped up stints, not in rhythm or within any flow of the game too.
And you and most fans expect a bench player to be consistent, night in and night out? Really? For real?
In KG's words: "Are you serious?"
