I'm sure there's a lot of doubt as to how effective Green would be on either one of those guys but you don't know unless you try right?
I recall Cory Brewer having that one great moment vs the Lakers which turned out to be a key stage of that series after he rode the bench all playoffs.
But to me I would have thrown Green out there a few times at home to see how responds
Maybe he lights a fire in the team with his energy activity who knows

Not playing Green isn't the only sin. We need to match their wing heavy lineup with Kleber at the 5 to have a chance at making the proper defensive rotations. They are killing us in the paint because Porzingis/ Boban rotate way too slowly on the perimeter leaving them free to drive when others try to scramble and cover.
Lue has adjusted, Carlisle has not.
