Building blocks - Rondo has help in Green, Bradley, and Sullinger
CelticsBlog — Paul Pierce has been the face of the Celtics since most of the people reading this post can remember. The winning tradition was restored when Kevin Garnett came into town. If those two are gone this summer (and barring other large trades), the future is in the hands of Rajon Rondo, Jeff Green, Avery Bradley, and Jared Sullinger. We know, for the most part, what we have in Rondo. He's a star and he's someone that you can build around. Ainge may chose not to, but that's a whole other article. To build around a star, you need building blocks. Sure, it helps to have other stars and s...
Boston Celtics May 4, 2013Jeff Green dances around a lead role
Boston Herald — Paul Pierce walked off the floor Friday night to a 50/50 Celtics future.Some have envisioned Jeff Green as the heir to Pierce’s longtime role, though the 26-year-old forward has only shown flashes of an ability to lead. But should the Celtics buy Pierce out of the remaining year of his contract, that weight will indeed descend on Green.Doc Rivers, who remains unconvinced of Green’s ability to step onto Pierce’s level, showed some of that cynicism recently when asked about Green’s emergence as a so-called go-to guy.
Boston Celtics May 4, 2013Shump thumps Celtics' rally, saves Knicks
Knicks Blog | ESPN New York — BOSTON -- This can't be real. Those were Iman Shumpert's first thoughts when Jeff Green sank a free-throw to cut the Knicks' 26-point lead down to six midway through the fourth quarter. At that point, the hometown Celtics seemed destined to complete their comeback and leave Shumpert and the Knicks on the wrong end of one of the worst playoff collapses in NBA history. "It felt like it wasn't real," he said. Just like that, though, Shumpert's bad dream turned into the Celtics' worst nightmare.
New York Knicks May 3, 2013Green gives the Celtics a spark
Celtics Insider | Boston Herald — Held to just three points in the first 20 minutes, Jeff Green finally came to live when the Celtics needed it most. Green made two free throws then beat the shot clock by draining a trey, the first one the Celtics made in the game. On the ensuing possession, the hosts doubled their fun as Jason Terry knocked one down from beyond the arc. Despite shooting a ghastly 25.8 percent from the field (8-31), the Celtics are only trailing 34-24 with 2:47 left in the half.
Boston Celtics May 3, 2013Green Lantern: Shining in the playoffs
Boston Celtics Blog | ESPN Boston — NEW YORK -- Jeff Green sat before a group of reporters on the Madison Square Garden sideline, two days after the Boston Celtics fell to the New York Knicks in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference first-round series, expecting the inevitable talk of adjustments and further explanations for Boston's 85-78 loss. Jesse D. Garrabrant/NBAE/GettyJeff Green rises up for a jumper over Carmelo Anthony.But at one point Green received a curveball, as he was informed that head coach Doc Rivers felt he had played too many minutes in the opening tilt, which may have contributed to Boston's downfall.
Boston Celtics May 3, 2013Shump studied Green for role change
Knicks Blog | ESPN New York — Each time Iman Shumpert has matched up with Jeff Green in the first-round series, it's not just a defensive assignment for the 22-year-old. It's a self-critique. Before Shumpert returned on Jan. 17 from a left ACL repair, he knew his role wouldn't be the same as it was his rookie season. With the New York Knicks' two point-guard backcourt set, Shumpert would be a small forward, meaning he wouldn't have the ball in his hands for the first time. So Shump, known to religiously study game film of who he's guarding, examined players who excel at playing off of the ball.

Is the torch being passed from Garnett & Pierce to Jeff Green?
CelticsBlog — At today's media availability at Waltham, Green was asked about whether the Knicks and the rest of the NBA should take notice of his good play: "I hope so. I've been working hard. The playoffs are where players are made. Hopefully people are starting to take notice of what I can do. I mean, I know what I can do. I don't care what other people think. It doesn't matter to me.
