A: Shocking? Nothing is shocking with this roster when you get to the point of McRoberts or, now, Green. You know that Hassan Whiteside and Amar'e Stoudemire will be splitting the minutes at center. With Joe Johnson starting, the primary perimeter minutes will go to Johnson, Dwyane Wade and Goran Dragic. That leaves the rest for Luol Deng, Justise Winslow and now apparently Josh Richardson instead of Green. While Erik Spoelstra likely will have to go deeper than eight on many nights, what he showed Sunday was he was going to approach the games he needs to win with a tighter rotation. I agree that of the two you mention, McRoberts is more likely to catch somewhat regular minutes than Green, especially now that Josh Richardson has become a thing. With the trust Erik Spoelstra has shown in Richardson and Winslow, it's as if there is more trust in stable rookies than streaky veterans, which might not bode well for Green.
