Kevin Garnett plays angry. With the attitude of a 1970s hockey enforcer.

Jeff Green is fun loving. He’s also slumping to start the season — he is scoring 7.8 points per game on 40.5 percent shooting, both would be career lows if he kept it up. There was hope he would be a powerful sixth man for Boston, but early in the season there are no signs of that.

There was a flash of hope after a strong fourth quarter from Green against Milwaukee over the weekend. Green was aggressive. Kevin Garnett told A. Sherrod Blakely of CSNNE.com he wants to see more of that.

“Jeff’s a really, really nice guy,” Garnett said. “Some nights, you just gotta be an a******.”

And the turning point for Green seemed to be an attempted dunk early in the fourth quarter in which he was fouled on the play.

“After the dunk he was aggressive; he was greedy Jeff,” said a visibly excited Garnett.

Green still needs to figure out where he fits in on this team, which seems to be true of a few other players as well. November doesn't matter, if he still looks lost in February I'll be concerned.

Im a huge celtic fan, and i know Green has the potential to be a star. Not superstar, but a star. He is a replica of James Worthy but he needs to get aggressive. Thats the only thing holding this kid back.

Eesh, let's not go nuts with the James Worthy comparisons, it's at least equally likely he's Antoine with a worse jumpshot.

I don't think anyone should be taking personality advice from KG.

Only if you want to learn how to be an asshole

I'm shocked that there hasn't been a single Pervis Ellison joke.

**R-Star** · 11-20-2012, 02:46 PM

Uhhhh..... how's about "Pervis Ellison? More like Penis Smellison?"

Let's just say that there were some notorious stories in Boston 15 years ago about Never Nervous' extracurricular activities.
