THE GREEN MACHINE: The Subtle Emergence of Josh Green

[omahen]

The rant below is not against Green. He is great and really took a step forward. But, I am pretty much fed up with this high paced offense myth. Game yesterday was slow, actually even a bit slower than usual Mavs game. Green minutes were especially slow. Mavs offense was same as every game, they were running same sets, the only significant difference was there was no one who could run a PnR. The result was even a couple of more three point attempts as on average. The data is not out yet, but I am pretty sure there were far less open threes than usual. Defense was still total crap, just a lay-up line or the open three for depleted Memphis team. Tillman (!!!) was feasting on offensive boards. I didn't check the numbers, but I am pretty sure Memphis was just feasting in the paint, same as every other team Mavs play against, no matter who is in the line-up.
