Tracking the Preaux Career of Orien Greene

[Clutch0364]

When they game was on the line between the Celtics and Lakers. Greene gets the job of guarding Kobe for the final shot...and guess what CELTICS WIN!!! Great to see Greene getting that type of opportunity. I was listening to game night on ESPN 1420 and they gave Greene his props for shutting down Kobe when it counted.

I saw it on the "tube". He played well. The Lakers tried pressuring him, but to no avail. He was on Kobe long before the final shot that Kobe took, and that was the difference IMHO.

O. Greene looked great last night...as I watched the game sip'n on my favorite brew, I asked my self..."Did this guy really wear a Cajun uniform last year?" It's just a testimony to how our University is going through a historical transformation right before our eyes....can't wait to see the results in the "not so far" distant future!

Fantasy News
News: Orien Greene started in place of Delonte West (groin) and had seven points, four boards, three assists, two steals and a three on Tuesday.
Impact: He guarded Gilbert Arenas and the Celtics beat the Wizards in overtime, so we're going to call this a very successful night for the rookie. (Wed. Mar 8, 2006)

The large increase in playing time was due to an injury. With that being said, he is showing that he can be productive and is gaining confidence being out there for longer periods of time.

Actually, I threw out the last two games because has been taking the place of Delonte West, so the injury playing time is not taken into account. If you throw in the last two games, his March time goes up above 27 minutes/game.

The more he plays, the better he gets, and the harder it is for the coach to take him out. If this continues he'll be the starter by season's end! (Or at least thats my take on the situation).
