I'm not defending Green, but this game wasn't on him, Grizzlies asked Luka and Kyrie to beat them, and allowed them to iso, and Kidd didn't attempt to respond, defensively, while wasn't brilliant, he was far from being the problem, insistence on micro ball was.
Every starter with 0/3/0 stats is a problem. Maybe Grizzlies wouldn't be successful in their strategy, if Josh could create something for himself or others. And D on Luka and Kyrie was very good, what we for sure can't say for Mavs' D, where Josh should be the leader. Nobody can have that low expectations for Nba starter.
What I eatched was the 2 stas going 1 on 1 and not involving anyone else, the only guys who tried were DJJ and Hardy, maybe Green wasn't assertive enough, but Luka and Kyrie played right into Grizzlies strategy.
Please explain to me, what use is giving the ball to Josh in half court offense?
