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).

11 pts in 39 min for Orien tonight.

He made sportscenter for going past Iverson and dunking on Igoudala. You can see the dunk at the Celtics website (www.celtics.com) Just click on video highlights for the game last night vs. the Sixers.

[El Sidonio]

that was a sweet jam by Orien. made iverson look slow as a snail and made Iguodala look like he couldn't hang. He's definitely helping the image of UL basketball, IMO.

Good job Orien!

God Bless

GEAUX UL RAGIN CAJUNS!!!!!!!!!

We'll see how Orien does guarding D-Wade... I release that the tournament is in full effect, but I'll be bouncing around. Speaking of the tournament, who's winning the whole thing?

[Turbine]

Orien get the surprise chance to put the game into overtime with a 3 and is straight but it bounces off the rim

Miami 107
Celtics 104

Q: I follow all the NBA teams and was wondering. Are you guys crazy!! I love your stuff and check the mailbox every week. Call me crazy, but where are the guys making a silent impact? We need to see the players who don't get the big stats but make an impact anyway, like Shavlick Randolph, DID U NOT SEE THE 13 REBOUND GAME!!! Guys like Luther Head, orien Greene when the Celtics beat Philly without Delonte. NBA Freak - Anaheim, Calif. RR: Randolph has been interesting to follow for sure. He doesn't play much for a couple of months and then he pulls down 13 boards in 33 minutes in a big win. It will be an interesting summer in Philadelphia and Randolph could see an increased role next season. Head spent most of the first half of the season in our Top 10. He's starting again with both Tracy McGrady and David Wesley out, but with Yao's emergence and the presence of Rafer Alston (who missed a month and a half earlier in the season), he's not taking as many shots as he did the first time T-Mac was injured. We've been pretty impressed by Greene. He hasn't put up any significant numbers, but he has been pretty steady for a rookie point guard and he has the best hands on defense of any rookie. It seems like he gets at least two steals in every game he plays, no matter how much playing time he gets. The source of the story
