It was the Jeff Green Show vs Orlando.

My god, did Dwight really have 30 points, 19 rebounds, and 10 blocks? That is insane.
And lets be real with all this Durant bashing. If he wasn't on that team they wouldn't ever be in contention to win any games. He's going through the same growing pains any other 20 year old with that much talent and is asked to be the face of a franchise goes through. He has his faults but so does everyone. He's still immensely talented.

Durant has a chance to be great.
Right now he settles for too many perimeter shots and he's a ball hog.
It's up to him whether he follows the career path of a winner or a loser who puts up stats.

great game for jeff to step up out of durant's shadow while he was out for the day. can't ever complain about an NBA double-double from a second-year player. especially when the kid played his heart out the whole game, singlehandedly made it not a complete blowout, and was playing even when orlando's starters had taken their final seat for the night.

Jeff picked the wrong night to drop 25 and grab 10 boards. On any other night, that might at least get him a sportscenter mention.
Tip of the cap to Dwight Howard. Freekishly good performance tonight.

From Yahoo! Sports...
Jeff Green has no reason to hang his head after a stretch of tough defensive assignments. The small forward quartet of Richard Jefferson, Ron Artest, Mike Miller and Paul Pierce averaged just 15 points against Green and the Thunder. "It's a learning process having to guard some of the best forwards in the game," Green said. "It's still more to come. I just go back, look at tape and see how I played them, and the next time we play them I just have to come back with a little more different approach because they'll probably be expecting the same thing."

Great game, Jeff. He's the role model for that team.

How hard is it exactly to break a perception? Durant for the first half of his rookie year as a 19 year old in the NBA took way too many 3's. Since then, he's averaging about 1 three per game, not too bad for a player they've put at SHOOTING GUARD! He's also expected to lead the team to victory at the age of 20, and on occasion is actually capable of doing that. I love Jeff as much as any, but Durant is clearly the best offensive player on the team and should be getting the most shots.

Smart kid. Learned a lot from JT3. We need more like him.... but I think we have some on this year's team too!

Jeff is on fire tonight at Philly; 5:39 left in 1st half and he already has 13 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals.
UPDATE: Jeff has 15 at half. OKC trails by 4. He's 7 of 9, the rest of the team made 12 of 38.

21 points after 3 quarters. OKC only scored 18 in the 3rd on 6 fg and 6 ft. Jeff made 3 of the fg and assisted on 2 of the other 3.

Got to go to the game last night and Jeff was great. Ran the floor well a couple of times, hit his mid range J, and operated well out of the post. He is pesky in the passing lanes, although I think he did try and gamble a little too much on picking off the early outlet passes. His 3 ball still looks a little flat, but I think that will improve. Once he gets surrounded by better players, he's one of those guys that will look even better. Unfortunately, OKC is miserable, although Westbrook looks like he could develop into a nice player.
