I'm not going to lie, I want to sit here and applaud the Clippers for overcoming an underwhelming first half, and a mediocre, by his standards, performance from Blake Griffin to gut out a win on the road. I want to congratulate J.J. Redick for having a heat stroke in the 3rd quarter and ultimately leading his team to victory. I just can't do it. I don't have it in me. Not in the wake of the Milwaukee Bucks having to set the hours for Greg Monroe's wake. That would be incredibly disrespectful, So when you click play on this clip make sure you do so knowing that it contains explicit content. In fact, you might want to hit the mute button too, because Greg Monroe deserves that moment of silence. I probably shouldn't have unsubscribed from those 'Pro Flowers' emails earlier today, because I feel at least a dozen carnations worth of guilt from deriving so much enjoyment out of a man's untimely demise.

As fans we sit and watch players get posterized and a lot of the time our first reaction is "fuck that, I would totally get out of the way. You're not putting me on a poster". I guess my question is how far do you have to be from the rim to think you are safe from DeAndre Jordan damn near impaling you with his knee? Greg Monroe is 6'11 and was standing outside the restricted area. He probably thought he was set to challenge a jump hook, not get literally jumped through by someone that's the same damn height as him. If I were playing defense against the Clippers I would be more paranoid than a freshman that smoked a little too much weed before class. I don't even care if I was out defending around the three point line. DeAndre Jordan could fake like he was about to jump and I would sprint through the tunnel. Greg Monroe is one the toughest, most athletic big men in basketball and even he was so surprised by that turn of events that he looked like a sniper hit him from the last row of the arena upon contact. I bet he actually wishes that was the case right about now, because if the facial didn't kill him then the internet undoubtedly will. Thoughts and prayers to Greg Monroe, he's going to need every last one of them.
