    Maybe hes gone cold? Maybe he is tired? Idk or care. i watched gordon do the same thing. We have a good player on the bench that should be used in some capacity than run 34 yr old or injury prone guy 35-40+ mins....

    #FML...I honestly DO NOT understand why a coach would ignore a player on his bench that can contribute immediately. Basketball players are human!! There will be times when they can't make a basket to save their life. When this happens...you call the name of someone that has proven to shoot lights out at times. This is called LOGIC!!

    Tucker isn't a 5 yet it happens. But I agree we didn't need scoring as we were held to 13 points.

    I agree with you and winning should be prioritised over everything, but our bench is doing absolutely horrible this game, why not throw him in there...?!?!
    I really don't see this will effect the teams chemistry

    I don't understand why he can't have some of Ariza's minutes and a minute or two from other players. Its not good to play an old Ariza upper 30s-40 minutes....

    Green can surely play at least 10 mpg.

    I would argue with you but that would be like me arguing with the tree outside in my front yard.

    U got to find minutes for green tho his offense and hustle is need it with the team at times hopefully he gets in and produce but sitting on the bench won't help him

    This "7 man" rotation crap will be the reason the Rox lose again in the playoffs. This team isn't young, they try to play at a fast pace and the season/playoffs are too long. MDA tried and failed at this last year!

    Well, we are using a nine man rotation. I see no problem with that. Green is there if we need him.

    It is called showcasing Ryno and Ariza as trade baits.

    Or you ride the guys that you have trusted since traing camp so they can work their way thru their slumps... with CP3 Harden and Gordon there are no guard minutes for green and with Ariza and Luc there are no SF minutes for him either.

    I like green as much as the next guy and I’m glad we have him for insurance but I really don’t see what you guys are whining about.

    Yeah but what is he going to do with 10 mpg? I think a lot of y’all just want to give minutes here and there to guys without realizing that basketball is a sport where you need to play at least 15-20 minutes to really have any impact or get into any rhythm.

    What real impact is he going to have playing 5 minutes a half?

    Like right now, Green could be in for Tucker. Rockets up big enough with 11 left up 18
