Melo checked back in. Looks like Monk might not play in the 2nd half lol...


It’s like it’s January again

They're gonna let Monk walk and give Devonte 50+ million. Starting to think it would be foolish of Monk to resign here anyways.

I am confident if that happens, Monk will be very good somewhere else.

Cody got Melo that layup. Great lane protection.

LaMelo opened up this game for us. Did not look like that would happen tonight early on. We needed this desperately. Time to close it out now.

Screening is the only above average facet of Zeller's game.

They just said Monk isn’t even on the bench. What could have happened?

If we do let go of Monk, I hope it's a Sign & Trade. We could at least get a first round pick in return.

Collins just said Monk hasn't been on the bench with the team. Something may have happened and we might have jumped to a conclusion here, but its seemed all season like JB is constantly looking for an excuse to bench Monk, so I don't think it was unreasonable to be suspicious.

Not sure, but I am sure JB will somehow be blamed.

We are conditioned to just expect him to be benched if he’s not scoring 20 by half time

That was the first three that looked good from LaMelo. Just didn’t fall.

Monk has started one game in four seasons. Say what you want, giving a man the start shows you have confidence in him and value his contributions. It did wonders for Miles Bridges.

Yes he was definitely well past Harris on the break. Obvious clear path missed.

I'm starting to get vibes from Zeller that hes getting to be like an old boxer thats taken too many shots and doesn't have a lot of fight left in him. I think thats why he seems so jittery and timid when going for rebounds or finishing in traffic. Its also why I don't criticize the dude even though hes looked really bad at times this season. He was legit pretty good for us for years and hes been beaten to hell more than almost any player Ive ever seen.
