Don't sleep on Monroe if we advance and face Houston.

He went for 18/6 in 19 minutes last time we played them, and was +23 on the night.
In PHO, he put up 20/11 in 26 minutes and was only -2 on a night they lost by 26.

He might not match those numbers, but there's a reasonable chance he could actually be a weapon against them or at least force some matchups.

Yeah, he's not a trending player, but he's been a pretty productive and skilled big man for a very long time and it didn't suddenly just disappear. Same guys that isn't really a triple double threat, also isn't a stiff.

Yeah if we (hopefully) advance and play Houston (assuming they win their series), Monroe could be real useful. He matches up well against Houston it seems.

That said, yeah up to this point he's been disappointing. We knew the defense was a liability, but his inability to finish well at the rim has been frustrating too in these playoffs.

Danny probably knew Cs would need him for Houston.
