He was also in lovely form the day after the Cheltenham Gold Cup and bounced out of that race and schooled nicely before Aintree. He was in as good as form as he had been all season then and while I didnt think he would be as impressive as he was in Liverpool, he sure ran a massive race.

Inserting one player, even with Greens talents, means a transition for all, so the Grizzlies are busy redefining roles to find the best combinations.The changes are working so far. Memphis has been winning and Green has reached double figures in six games, including 21 points on the road at Orlando and 18 last weekend in a home victory over the Philadelphia 76ers.He is averaging 13.6 points and 4.3 rebounds since joining Memphis.Were going to get it right, forward Zach Randolph said. Its a good thing, trying to figure out the chemistry with Jeff.Memphis improved to 33-12 after a 109-90 win at Dallas on Tuesday night, good for second in the Western Conference. Green, a 6-foot-9 player in his seventh season out of Georgetown, gives the Grizzlies a much-needed scorer as they try to reach the Western Finals for the second time in three years.Green can slash to the basket and provide another alternative to the front-line bulk of Randolph and centre Marc Gasol, an All-Star starter. Green can shoot from outside, helping ease the pressure on guards Mike Conley and Courtney Lee.Memphis coach Dave Joerger said theres a lack of practice time to implement plays designed for Green, so the Grizzlies are bringing back some plays they used when Rudy Gay played smalll forward.ddddddddddddHes just trying find himself on when he can attack, Joerger said of Green. And were trying to create lanes for him to attack where he knows theres not going to be a big in front of him.But adding a new player in the middle of the season means changes for players and reserves who helped the Grizzlies turn in the best start in franchise history. Green has played at least 26 minutes and up to 32 minutes so far.Defensive stalwart Tony Allen, who is dealing with an ankle injury, missed a start as did Lee, who scored in double figures in five straight games before Green replaced him in the starting lineup Jan. 21. That left reserve forward Jon Leuer out of the rotation temporarily, but his minutes have increased in recent games.Green said hes still is adapting, but remains confident hell blend with the team as one of several offensive options for the Grizzlies. Thats a switch from his tenure in Boston, where he was a primary focus of defences.You get comfortable with repetition and time, Green said. Its been great having Marc and Zach looking for me on cuts. The lane has been there for me, Ive just got to be aggressive.The Grizzlies have 27 games left in the regular season, starting Thursday night when Denver visits Memphis, to figure out the best combinations.You want to find something that everybody is comfortable with, Conley said. Were going to experiment and see what works. Well see as the games go on, and hopefully well figure it out sooner than later. ' ' '
