You like layups? Think that the NCAA had the right idea when they banned players from dunking? Then I’ve got the video for you! Greg Monroe scored 28 points tonight, and he did it by only converting layups or by drawing fouls while shooting layups! Talk about excitement. This is what basketball is all about:…

Greg Monroe 29 Points Full Highlights (2/9/2016)
Jason Kidd decided to try something different last night, starting Miles Plumlee and bringing Greg Monroe off the bench. Kind of a weird way to showcase guys for trades, but it worked, because Greg Monroe scored 29 in a very efficient manner and now everybody will want to trade for him. I had been formulating…

It’s so great that an A-list free agent spurned the big market Knicks to sign with the Bucks. Really, really great. I’m excited by this indication that the landscape of the NBA is changing, that good coaching and team-composition can offset big-city perks. Now, can we trade Greg Monroe already? I kind of see what…

I’m still undecided as to whether Greg Monroe is a good fit for the Bucks, or, in fact, is a good fit for any team. Post-up centers are decidely out of vogue in the current NBA metagame. On the Bucks, he’s especially incongruous because there are no shooters to spread the floor and give Monroe…

DownToBuck is all about honesty. He never tells lies and he never perpetuates false rumors. Everything he says is firmly grounded in factual facts. He even features a so-called “DTB’s Honesty Hour” in his descriptions, such is the depth and solidity of his honesty. So believe him when he says this: I was so hyped…

It’s time to ask some pointed questions about the Bucks defense, after they gave up an average of 120 points to two Eastern Conference teams. Namely, where the heck is it? I’ll give you the answer: it’s in Dallas, with Zaza Pachulia, and it’s in Washington, with Jared Dudley. A smaller amount resides with Ersan…

“Hey Greg, whatcha workin’ on?” “AAAH!” Greg yelped. “Oh, it’s just you, Spencer. Could you please sneak up on me quieter next time? That heart attack you just gave me wasn’t quite life-ending enough.” After this sarcastic remark, he returned to his drawings. Spencer Dinwiddie shrugged. “Whatever. I just wanted to see what you were…

Last time I made a video which featured Greg Monroe scoring 22 points, he needed 22 shots to complete the feat. However, this time, he only needed sixteen! This is yet another confirmation of the “Josh Smith Effect”, where everybody gets 10x better at basketball once Josh Smith is no longer in close proximity. Will…

In the interest of journalistic ethics, I must disclose something at the forefront of this description. Moose needed 22 shot attempts to score 22 points: the dreaded “Jordan Crawford” effect. A player who scores as many or fewer points than the amount of field goals they attempt rarely is having a positive effect on the…
