MAVERICKS 75, NUGGETS 106

[mavsluvr]

Just really perplexed and don't know where to start.

So I will just mention something not related to the win/loss.  I think I am almost ready to move on from Josh Green.   And that is saying a lot for me.  I wasn't in favor of the pick but said he needed time and he has certain things he does that I like.   But man, he got a good amount of junk time last night and did nothing on offense.   Even Eugene comes in and can create for himself.   I feel like the ball is a hot potato to Green.   When he gets it, it is almost a race how soon he can get rid of it and run to the corner.   When he does drive, a rare occasion, he never looks to score and looks to pass.  In an awful game last night, I would liked to see him with the mindset that he is going to score and be aggressive instead of playing like he does.  Maybe he doesn't have it in him, but he has been a rough watch so far.

I don't know what's going on with Green in practices, but something not-so-favorable must be. You would expect a team's first-round pick to be given any benefit of the doubt in terms of sticking with him and giving him chances. Yet, two head coaches have deemed him not ready for developmental minutes, at least for now. 

I don't really buy that it's a matter of the coaches picking on him, or the team refusing to play youngsters, or whatever like excuses have been made for him. It's only his second year, and I am not necessarily advocating giving up on him, but I find it a tad discouraging that he hasn't earned those minutes.
