I have been a long time Monroe fan. I even named my cat after him.
Great opportunity for Greg. I don't know how well he fits in with Stevens' style but he adds some scoring and size off the bench. Hoya players have not fared well in Boston, though - Charles Smith, Jeff Green. Let's hope Greg changes that history.

Otto leads Wiz in scoring with 20, also 4 rbs, 5 assists. Win over the Magic. Once again the Wiz with 30+ assists in the game and are now 4-0 without John Wall. Do they play better without Wall??

Maybe? Beal post-game saying "everybody eats" again.

I will hope that Greg does well, just as I hoped that Jeff would do well, and that the Celtics will lose every game. Perhaps he hadn't had time to report yet, but I noted that in the Celtics' first game following Greg's signing, Greg played 0 minutes.

Monroe had to clear waivers (today I think) before he could be signed.
Not to worry ‘rooter, I’m sure the Big Baller Train will get you back where you long to be.

Suddenly I'm a Celtics fan. Booooooooooo Booooooooooo Wasn't a Celtics fan when JG was with them, wouldn't be a Celtics fan if Ewing and Iverson came out of retirement to join them. No, nay, never. Hope you managed to root for the Smitty Cs.

I know he's not in the NBA yet but congrats to LJ for the big night Thanks for that. I look in occasionally, and he's getting regular minutes. Some of that dribble penetration would have looked awfully good this year, but he's compiling a resume that will hopefully pay off.

Some of that dribble penetration would have looked awfully good this year, but he's compiling a resume that will hopefully pay off. I have also followed LJ's progress with the Maine Red Claws and he has had some big games for them this season, but has not been as consistent as I am sure he had hoped. His game translates well to the way they play in the G league and he gets a lot of opportunities to attack the rim so that has helped him. Defense is an afterthought in most G league games which is too bad for LJ, because I think his strong defense is what could find him a place on an NBA roster at some point. It is good to see him have some success and I hope it works out for him and he gets a chance in the big show.

Booooooooooo Booooooooooo Wasn't a Celtics fan when JG was with them, wouldn't be a Celtics fan if Ewing and Iverson came out of retirement to join them. No, nay, never. Hope you managed to root for the Smitty Cs. Nope. Loved Smitty, but still wouldn't root for the Celtics. My three years in Boston killed any possibility that I would ever root for the Celtics at any time. And those were not years when they were beating the Lakers. The Celtics have had lots of players who I really liked, including the ex-Hoyas, Bill Walton, Dennis Johnson, and of course Bird. Didn't matter, though. It kills me when players I like end up with the Celtics, but I still wish the team nothing but ill. Back in the '80's the firm I worked for had Laker season tickets in the second row behind one of the baskets. I was at a Laker/Celtic game where the crowd started booing Dennis Johnson for some reason, I forget why. He responded by just holding up his jersey. I got up and yelled, "it's ok Dennis, we like you, it's just the Celtics that we hate."

Yep, I'll be hitching my wagon to Larva Ball. Is the reference to "Larva" Ball a spellcheck typo or a wisdom-filled reference to his not yet fully formed game?

It was an intentional play on Lavar, aka Jackass Dad. I have no problem with Lonzo. I think he'll be fine. He'll never be Magic, but who could expect that? He'll be better, though, once he puts Jackass Dad in his place.
