1. Green has been great this season, one of rare good stories, and is part of the core going forward. They start Bullock over him. Bullock has been absolute trash on defense tonight, no idea how he ended being only -1
2. Powell and Kleber offer zero rim protection but are supposed to be bigs that can switch onto guards, yet they play them in drop coverage resulting in total defensive break down every time opponent runs a PnR
The Green thing is really weird. A lot of high points this year but his fit with Luka and Kyrie has lead to some really head scratching moments. Not sure what is going on there. He was a rocket ship right after the trade, but he has had some stinkers the last few weeks. I wouldn't even call them stinkers though, it is almost like he is invisible on the court. I would think he is an easy role to count on. Just do all the little things. Let him handle the ball. Shoot open threes. Defend. rebound. hustle.
I understand earning minutes. I think that is important. But I think he has earned minutes. I would rather go down with the season with him getting 30 minutes a night starting and learning than what we have seen in several games down the stretch.
