When I think about how badly Greg Monroe’s career derailed, I legitimately get sad. Normally I don’t feel emotions, much less emotions like sympathy, much less sympathy towards well-paid famous guys, but it is what it is. I can’t deny my emotions. And my emotions whenever Greg Monroe crosses my mind are predominantly sad in…

Greg Monroe 17 Points Full Highlights (11/14/2018)
Greg Monroe still thinks he is better than Andre Drummond. I think he thought while they were playing together, the way he played against the Pistons while with the Bucks made me think he still did, and now he’s dominated him again. Maybe he didn’t directly score all 17 of his points against Drummond tonight,…
Read MoreGreg Monroe Triple Double 19 Pts/11 Rebs/10 Asts Full Highlights (4/6/2018)
Thanks to the heroic efforts of two Celtics scrubs, Jabari Bird and Jonathan Gibson (basketball-reference, as of this writing, calls him “John Gibson”, but I’m pretty sure this is the same guy who played for the Mavs last season), Greg Monroe was able to secure the second triple-double of his career. Without Bird’s five makes…

Sometimes I wish the Bucks still had Greg Monroe, even if only to prevent Thon Maker from ever seeing the court. Eric Bledsoe, the guy they got for him, is probably a better player, sure, but the Bucks’ center woes would be helped by having a guy like Monroe using his big body to do…

It was nice of the Suns to dust off Greg Monroe against the Bucks, so his old fans could see what he’s up to. Nice, but also misleading, because if they wanted to present a more accurate picture of what he’s doing with the Suns they would leave him on the bench for the whole…

DTB’S OFFICIAL QUESTION OF THE DAY: Was Greg Monroe’s performance against the Milwaukee Bucks a revenge game, or was it not a revenge game? OFFICIAL ARGUMENTS FOR IT BEING A REVENGE GAME: -He was playing against the team that traded him. This is the baseline requirement for a game being a “revenge game”. -He scored…

By the time Greg Monroe got traded away from Milwaukee, he had made me into a fan. I won’t lie to you and say that some of his tendencies didn’t annoy me, like his inability to defend the rim, his desire to take elbow jumpers after standing there with the ball for five seconds, his…
Read MoreGreg Monroe 24 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (3/3/2017)
Usually Greg Monroe has trouble finishing at the rim. For some reason, he has no touch at all when he’s up close to the basket, so he usually just throws the ball hard of the backboard and hope it catches enough rim on the way down to stay in the hole. However, in this game,…

Immediately fter going 12-of-15 from the field against the Pistons, Greg Monroe decided to go 12-of-16 from the field against the Nets. The first time made sense: Greg was hyped to be playing against his former team and wanted to inform them that they had made a mistake by prioritizing Drummond over him. This one…

Greg Monroe does this every time he plays the Pistons. Trying to prove that he’s better than Andre Drummond? That the Pistons made a huge mistake when they chose Andre over him? He even dunked it off an alley-oop in this game. If that wasn’t him trying to make a point to the Pistons’ FO,…
