Going back and looking at the highlights again, it really seems like Green has learned a lot of from Pierce and it really started to show last night. Some of those jumpers near the elbows at 16-18 feet, were very reminiscent of Pierce's herky-jerky moves.
More importantly, unlike some games, he not only drove to the basket, but seemed more concerned about drawing fouls (a clear Pierce trait) than actually hitting the shot. Too often Green seems to shy away from contact--not because he's scared--but because he doesn't want the contact to alter his shot. This leads to awkward angels and fade-aways. Last night, he just drove to the basket, drew contact, and chucked it up at the rim (at one point, even backwards). This is what he needs to be doing nightly.
Also loved the blocks and assists. This shows just how valuable he can potentially be.
