Following the Denver Nuggets' ouster from the playoffs, TNT's Charles Barkley stated that Houston Rockets forward Jeff Green's absence made all the difference for Denver.
Jeff Green was one of the Houston Rockets' final free agent signings last offseason, and he wasn't expected to be a major impact player for the franchise. The Rockets had just hired Ime Udoka, who noticed a need for long-time NBA veterans for a Rockets team that was an extremely young ball club.
Green began playing in place of Jabari Smith Jr. during "winning time", much like Aaron Holiday began playing over Jalen Green in crunch time. Green seemed to have turned back the clock and developed the fountain of youth, as he looked more spry and played much more above the rim. His former Nuggets team also finished with a better record than last season, as they went 57-25 this season, while going 53-29 last season. However, they didn't quite enjoy the same postseason success, as they failed to reach the Western Conference Finals this postseason.to explain how Green's absence proved to be a substantial loss for the defending champs.
And that's the reason those guys had to play so many minutes. Bruce Brown made alot of shots and Jeff Green made some shots.
