We literally have one other bench player with the confidence to take his shot and doesn't defer, no matter the situation, and that player is Hardy who wasn't playing. In fact that's one of the problems with Green IMO. People act like that type of selfishness is a problem (I'm not saying it's not at times), but then complain when we get no offense and everyone is playing passive when the two stars are out or gone cold.
Yes. It was unfortunate that he didn't make more shots in the 2nd half, but THJ played hard last night, and in the way the team needs him to play. Only a small handful of those shots seemed forced, and SOMETIMES shots MUST be forced. Last night, THJ scored in a variety of ways (he's not being giving credit for that, but there were multi-dribble pull-ups from mid-range, back door cuts, fast break catch and shoots, etc), worked hard on defense and even moved the ball effectively (had some nice passes).
Frankly, he looked BETTER than I expected in the 6th man role (for one game, at least).
