    Would not be the smart move.

    Green can still be developed and get starters minutes from the bench.

    There is no dishonor in putting team first.

    There is no dishonor in earning your starter spot.

    He never lost the position, he was playing well 4 games prior to the injury. Not sure why not make the change.

    Because Rockets are beating the brakes off playoff teams.

    If Green earns it he can have it back. If not... oh well...

    i wish he had more to his game, like making plays for others, get an assist or two a game. I know he is a 3 and D guy, but when he isn't hitting his shots, he needs to find other things on offence to help the scoring

    Now you’re just being greedy. Sounds like you want him to actually be Larry Bird. :D

    Exactly. If he can come in and hit 4/8 from 3 and play some decent D we should be stoked with that.

    Yes, hard to get assists when you are catching and shooting in guys faces.

    Open even when others think he is not

    Weird. That's exactly why I do like him. If he's not hitting his shots, he gets rebounds, goes for steals, plays pestering defense to a degree, etc. This is what I'm hoping Jalen does eventually when his shot's not falling.

    Exactly. Why are we hating on Garry Bird here? He literally was our leading rebounder.

    His shot wasn't falling. It happens. The guy was playing hard while he was in, contributing any way he could.
