Has anyone talked to Greg Monroe today?
Last night, he became the latest victim of a DeAndre Jordan turbo boost. You know, when he catches a pass from Chris Paul or Jamal Crawford somewhere around the foul line, takes a couple of steps, and explodes to the rim leaving nothing but calamity in his wake, often in the form of a bewildered, collapsed opposing player? Ask Brandon Knight or Rudy Gobert, it isn’t pretty.
As always with a ridiculous dunk or play on the court, half the entertainment is in the play, and the other half is in the reactions. Like that of Giannis Antetokounmpo, who flinched as if he’d just watch Jordan suddenly become the Hulk.
Or the poor Bucks mascot, who looked let down as all hell.
And of course, Blake Griffin, who heartily hugged Jordan as if he was trying to calm down an unruly child.
