At this point I would definitely take Monte Morris over either of the Morris twins, Marcus and Markieff. As far as I know, Monte doesn’t have any off-court issues, any instances where he and his posse beat the heck out of a dude. So that’s one thing in his favor. If I were a GM,…

Well, the trade deadline has come and gone, and the Nuggets didn’t make any major roster shakeups. Paul Millsap is still there, and so is Jamal Murray, and so is Gary Harris, so my grand plan to have all three of those guys traded to the Pelicans for Anthony Davis will have to be shelved…

Monte Morris just got the first double-double of his career. He had gotten ten assists in a game once before, but he only scored five points, leaving him well short of the ten points that are required for a double-double. This time, he made sure there were no doubts about it, as he continued his…

Since Monte “Montains of Madness” Morris and Malik Beasley clearly have the point guard and shooting guard positions well-covered for the Nuggets, now is the time to orchestrate a big-time trade for Anthony Davis and gun for a championship. Am I being facetious right now? I can’t really tell. Here’s my proposed trade: Jamal Murray,…

Monte Morris has only started two games this season. One was back in November, when he put up a sick eight-point, two-assist line against the Hawks. The other was this game, where he put up a similarly sick line of twenty points, seven assists, and seven rebounds, which is sort of close to a triple-double…

It would probably be a disservice to Chris Paul if I were to compare the smooth midrange scoring game of Monte “Tay Time” Morris to the legendary midrange wizardry of CP3 (now squandered, and not just because of his injury), so I’m not going to make that comparison. It might also be an insult to…

I’m really digging Monte Morris’ game, but I’m not really digging his name. That’s because it combines the first name of “Monte”, which is way too close to Monta Ellis, and the last name of “Morris”, which only serves to remind me of my dislike of the Morris twins (and also my sadness that Darius…

Is there some kind of steroid that you can take that makes you better at basketball? If there is, the NBA should investigate Monte Morris for taking it, because going from a total afterthought in your rookie year to a top-5 backup PG getting 25 MPG in your second year is awfully suspicious. I know…

OFFICIAL MONTE MORRIS ASSIST-TO-TURNOVER RATIO WATCH UPDATE: Monte Morris’ assist-to-turnover ratio is now at 5.68 to 1, dropping slightly because of his 5-assist, 1-turnover performance tonight. I previously and ignorantly thought his incredible safety with the ball was a fluke, but apparently he was doing the same exact thing in college, even setting records in…

Monte Morris: top five backup PG in the league? I could go through and make a list of all the backup point guards in the league, then rank them, but that’s a lot of effort just for one video description, so I won’t bother with that. Instead, I’ll just think about the various backup point…
