    The offensive spark off the bench we’ve needed for sometime now

    I've always said Monk is a consistent offensive threat.

    Ya sometimes he misses em all but "Microwave" players are like that. Even if he misses, he is a threat and thats what makes life easier for others. I'm happy that he is also making shots right now but he is a consistent threat...misses some, makes some but thats the way it is. He isn't Joe Ingles, who always takes 5 shots and makes 3. lol

    Surprised he's not getting more hype: he doesn't seem so lost on defense and offense he's a real threat shooting or on the break

    He and Ellington playing well and being rewarded for it was my theory why Reaves didn't see the floor for 2 or 3 games after coming back and playing in one. That or they were just playing safe. Maybe they asked after that game if he felt any slight twinges in the hammy and he said yes.

    I don’t know how this happens, but ok. Like it’s a coincidence? Mixed up tests? Come on now

    I think it’s a false positive. It happens sometimes. I think it was the same thing with LeBron.

    This is good.

    He'll add another body for tomorrow.

    He can also relief Bron for some playmaking duties, and he can shoot.

    His defense has been better, too.

    I think it's well known the PCR test isn't that accurate. The inventor of the test said it was never designed for this purpose, so I hope they are using something else. Otherwise the whole league could be in protocols haha.

    almost all medical tests are "inaccurate" in that they aren't 100% accurate. with a 95% accuracy rate, you're going to get some false positives (and false negatives, too, btw) and the number we've seen really isn't surprising at all.

    i don't know how often everyone's tested, but it's also possible he had it and then didn't. assuming he's vaccinated, the infection could have been quick and painless (you know, the point of vaccination...).

    anyway, it's good he's available. minny kicked our a** at home, and i'd like to return the favor.

    This is wacky. He’s in, he’s out, he’s in.

    I'm going to guess he'll be available the next game on Sunday @ the Bulls.

    Sad part is everyone is doom and gloom and forget that Monk was awesome. Phoenix has all their roleplayers going and the good Lakers ones are all out
