    This probably got buried somewhere in between the game and Kellerman threads. Deserved one of its own :eek:

    "...in practice, to help Joe get conditioned for real games"

    Interesting. Either Mike is going beyond his usual 8 to 9 man rotation in the playoffs or Green secured the final spot over Ryan and Joe.

    Thought Green would be buried deep on the bench during the playoffs—thought no one.

    Not a huge fan of his decision making, but I can't anymore argue with the energy, scoring, and athleticism he brings to the team. Defense hasn't been too bad from what I can tell.

    Best news in a while, since Green has proven he can produce and provide that spark when others are scared to shoot and or cold, since at least he's open to expanding the rotation in the play-offs if he keeps his word ;)

    The dude has the microwave badge... He can go from cold to crazy hot in no time. Scoring like that off the bench can turn a game or close one out in pivotal situations. He's earned serious burn, and if we go as deep as we should, I expect Green to be the guy doing a few post-game interviews after he goes off in multiple games during our run.

    "Oh, he's playing.............(dramatic pause).....for four minutes in Game 6 when the game and series are already out of reach because I ran my regular seven guys into the ground, including James Harden, who'll get torched by loudmouth jerks like STEPHEN A. SMITH yet again. Of course, if Joe Johnson's Medicaid doesn't get approved, Gerald might play even more than four minutes a game.......why do you ask?"

    Take it back. Only hysterical CF ’ers thought that. Joe Johnson plays as power forward....Gerald Green plays
    predominantly as shooting guard and small forward.

    Small lineups will be used more in the playoffs. Less opportunities for Ryan except for spot situations here and there.

    He's our JR Smith - the wildcard Irrational Confidence guy who can swing a game when he is on.
