I haven't seen the last few games but trust what @Will and others are saying - although it is very surprising that a veteran of his stature would be this bad - but the box scores don't lie - while his shooting isn't as horrendous as it was a few months ago, he doesn't seem to be doing anything else out there in his minutes on the floor. I don't have a problem with him getting PT if we are blowing teams out. I also thought green was out of the rotation because of an injury.
The problem is Daryl Morey is always hard headed, especially playing bad Small Forwards continually until fans step in and boo the player, fans call in radio station, complain on Clutchfans to get it across Daryl, to make a change. Gerald Green should play over Iman Shumpert, Iman surgery on his injured knee, literally lost his explosiveness on defense. Gerald Green should play around 8 - 12 minutes at least. Gerald is coming off a injury, he needs playing time right now. I trust Gerald 3 point shot more than Iman, Iman gas a very weak 3 pointer, Gerald has a better rotation, spiral, aim on his 3 pointers, he needs playing time.

Not sure why fans are surprised by this. Shumpert was part of one of the worst benches in the league for the past few years on the Cavs. The moment he came into games was when the opposing team would go on a run. He played better on the Kings, but lets be real even expecting him to be a servicible role player is a bit of a stretch. He doesn't bring one above average skill to the table and is a poor shooter with poor shot selection.
Practicing against James Harden would make any great defender question their defensive abilities and thus make them lose their mojo. He'll get back his mojo when it's time.
House should be our official 6th man, Shump should not even be with the team. The funny thing is out of any LBJ non star side kick I would have prefered J.R. Smith.
My gawd Lin use to drive me crazy with his toe on the line stupid shots ! I remember him losing a game that way once
I think Shump's activity will be good off the bench. He seems to be okay when I'm watching the games. I have not seen his recent numbers though.
How quickly people forget about Green, what a bunch of ****ing fans you guys are! His defense was solid against GSW in the playoffs last year and he can get hot, but coach like you have not kept the faith.
Ha... SHOOT..... and switch. Hey..... if we released Shump... we could keep Clark and get another guy. Props durvasa.
That's true. But not good enough. We need another guy. I don't want to see the whole season come down to Clark clanking 3's for us against the Warriors because we've been forced to sit CC/Faried/Nene down.
I wouldn't the guy was a true role player with the cavs and has alway shot lights out close to 40% mark from threes, even though in the regular season his number has been crap. He has played in over 60 play off games, they wouldn't keep playing him if he wasn't adding value
Maybe we get playoff Shump? That would be a pleasant surprise. I didn’t know he shot the ball that well in the playoffs.
