He's a good role player who fits in very well with the Warriors but he's not perennial hof player.
He's definitely a very unique hall of famer. To just call green a hall of famer is a little misleading because he plays a very specific role on a championship team. But no doubt he will make the hall of fame because of his resume that albeit are dependent on his co stars. Is he an individual hall of fame player? No. But he will make the hall of fame due to his role in a championship dynasty. [Reply]

Having said that, this series is far from over.
Presti should be recognized for his role in building the Rockets AND the Pacers. Great job. [Reply]

He's going to get probably a couple more all stars, another gold medal, and about 2-3 more championships before his resume is even finished. It's NOT close.
:-) I swear Green is the most overrated player in the league. He's a very good role player and that's it. Of all the role players in the league, he's in the best and easiest situation ever. If he was a first or even second option on a team, it would be one of the worst teams in the league. Posted via Mobile Device [Reply]

Dipo and Turner compliment each other extremely well. Couple that with career performances from Bogdanovic and Collison and tremendous role players like Thad Young, Cory Joseph and yes, even Lance Stevenson, plus great coaching from Nate McMillan, and you have a very dangerous team.
They play very hard and very unselfishly within their roles. I’ve watched them all season and the improvement has been amazing. [Reply]

I still can't stand stevenson, but the others are great. [Reply]

Lance is a modern day Laimbeer. Bad Lance does really stupid, dirty stuff and kills his team, but good Lance plays with heart, hustle and brute strength. It’s just a matter of which Lance is present at any given time.
I still think Cleveland wins the series in 6 or 7. They’re not gonna miss that many open threes often. [Reply]

If he was on any other team this would not even be a discussion. That in itself should make this a no brainer. [Reply]

Obviously. And yet still one of the best defenders in the league and a future HOFer. [Reply]

He had some shots today that looked like "see, look, I used to be a good player" kind of shots. [Reply]
