Gerald Green can still get up. Not as much as he could before, like I’m pretty sure both of his dunks tonight would’ve been windmills if this were a couple years ago. He’s not blowing out the candles on the cupcake anymore, but who is?
In other news, I just got a sweet idea for Donovan Mitchell to try during the dunk contest.
Green got my hopes up tonight with his 17-point first half, but of course he couldn’t keep it up. No one ever can. The one time a player continued their hot first-half shooting into the second half, they scored 100. This highlight vid gets a lot better if you imagine all the threes Trevor Ariza made being made by Green instead. Is it fair that Ariza gets to shoot those? No. Not when the Rockets have the hottest game in town right now.
