I agree that Green plays hard. But playing hard is not necessarily the same thing as playing well. Diving into a chair was dramatic, but wasn't a play that helped the team. He was not even an offensive option. His three shot attempts were all grotesque misses. He was replaced by Brunson, who played MUCH better than he did.
It seemed to me that Green was taken off because he was not playing well. That's okay, he's a rookie, nights like this are to be expected. I understand the point of view on wanting him to get some developmental minutes. It seems like 8 minutes would be about what a fourth-string guy might hope for.
I am hopeful that the player development guys can work with Green during the offseason, and that he can get on the court as part of the rotation next season.
Well that is just a poor POV, cause it makes no sense. The team was losing. He came on for Melli. Now the team was winning. The point of the whole thing is still to win the game as a team, right?
First we can´t play Green, because rookies lead to losses. Now we can´t play him, cause despite his presence leading to winning, it might hypothetically LEAD TO LOSING eventually. In a game we were already losing without him. Wow.
So now Green is proactively benched for crimes he hasn´t even committed yet. Well that´s not accurate. He has actually been proven innocent, but Carlisle puts him in jail anyway, cause next time he might be guilty.
