1:32pm: Green will be available to play for the Nets in Game 4 of their second-round matchup against the Bucks this afternoon, tweets Malika Andrews of ESPN. Andrews notes that Green will be suiting up for the first time since the second game in Brooklyn’s first-round contest against the Celtics on May 25.
1:22pm: Nets forward Jeff Green, still dealing with a left plantar fascia strain, will be a game-time decision for this afternoon’s crucial Game 4 contest against the Bucks, tweets Vincent Goodwill of Yahoo Sports. The Nets lead the series 2-1.
The 6’8″ tweener forward has been an effective role player for the Nets this season, averaging 11.0 PPG, 3.9 RPG, and 1.6 APG during 27.0 MPG. He boasted a slash line of .492/.412/.776. Across the Nets’ first two games in the postseason, Green averaged 4.5 PPG, 2.0 RPG, and 1.5 APG over 19.3 MPG.
Per Goodwill, Brooklyn head coach Steve Nash indicated that Green would need to successfully complete his pregame warmups and get a green light from team physicians before he’d be able to take the floor.
Brooklyn is of course still missing guards James Harden, out with a right hamstring strain for the third straight game, and Spencer Dinwiddie, recovering from a partially-torn ACL incurred during the first week of the 2020/21 regular season. Word recently surfaced that Dinwiddie still hopes to return to the floor for Brooklyn at some point during the playoffs, possibly during the NBA Finals.
Always liked Green. Wishing him the best. But I don’t want Nets to win. Bucks got lucky in gm3. They need to blow this team out today. Get some respect and dignity back. I dont care what Bucks do this yr. I still get a new coach. DAntoni should have been coaching this team, this yr.
The Bucks did get lucky last game, they will need to get lucky again to have any chance of tying this series. Don’t be surprised if the Nets win big again.
Welp, This didn’t age well. Dont quit your day job Dionnis.
You mean only because Kyrie got hurt and they still lost by just 11?
Did you even read the part saying the Bucks had to get lucky again?
Kyrie getting hurt 18 minutes into the game was pretty lucky, right?
Kyrie staying healthy is actually lucky. Kyrie is injury prone. The fact that you use that same excuse for CP3 back in 2018 is hysterical to me. You make fun of CP3’s playoff injury history but fail to do so for Kyrie as well. Are you like Skip Bayless’ burner account? It would make perfect sense.
And a L is a L no matter how much goth RT to convince the rest of us in your warp and misunderstood mind.
2-2 series. That’s what it comes down too.
How much you try***
*”down to”, chief. Ftfy.
Bucks absolutely got lucky. I don’t usually complain about refs but this game was laughable as was Clips game 1. Whatever, it’s an entertainment product. But let’s not sit here and pretend the bucks are good.
Also I’m glad you “always” liked Green. Interesting as he’s been pretty inconsistent until this year. They need his 3 ball if Harden and Kyrie are out.
