With MCW out a while, and our Playoff hopes extremely dim. Monk will FINALLY get some PT.

Charlotte Hornets guard Michael Carter-Williams may miss the rest of the year with a shoulder injury, which means Malik Monk must step up.

Rick Bonnell explained that while the method to fix the injury has not yet been determined but the 26-year-old could miss the entire season either way (via Charlotte Observer):

“It’s unclear how much time Carter-Williams might miss if he chooses rehab, rather than surgery. But it appears inevitable Monk will have a bigger role, possibly for the rest of the season.”

Monk, 20, was pulled from the regular rotation due to his poor play on defense. He was reportedly included in trade talks with the Knicks, too, before the deadline.

Monk ends up with 9 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, and 1 turnover in 16 minutes.  He was 3-10 shooting with 1-6 on 3 points shots.  But the best thing was that he was aggressive the whole time he was in the game.  Some of his passes were a bit erratic and he didn't shoot a good percentage but you have to expect that with him not getting any playing time recently.  His drives to the basket were great and he almost posterized Ersan Ilyasova in the first half.  Ilyasova had to foul him or he would have been embarrassed.  If Clifford wasn't such a dick and Monk would have had regular playing time this season, he could have developed into a really nice player.

I was so excited early in the season because Monk gave Charlotte fans hope of a potential star player. He had the swagger, athleticism and the shot. What happened was that we didn't develop him at all. At least we could of gave him burn with the Swarm but no. We just kept him buried behind a guy who produced less than he did. I hope this waste of a season doesn't affect his confidence.

I think he'll be fine. He probably learned a lot in Practice and stuff. I'm okay with this. But, he needs PT next Season when Clifford is fired. I hope this Offseason is a "get rid of this poo" Offseason. I love Kemba, but I want him winning. And he will not be doing that with us.

I bet he would be averaging around 15ppg if Clifford would have been giving him minutes all year. A shooter like Monk is always going to look rusty if you never allow him to get into any kind of rhythm. Just his energy and explosiveness alone would have benefited the team in a huge way. Playing MCW over Monk should be enough to get any coach fired. Unless MCW was an all NBA defensive player, his defense doesn't outweigh the fact that he is statistically the worst offensive player in the NBA.

      If "fans" would have came out today we would have made up those 3-points in home field advantage.

      Fair enough. I never once said not supporting Tepper makes you a bad fan by the way. I can't stand the guy myself. You on the other hand don't like anything about the team. You can't stand the owner or the coach because his religion doesn't fall in line with how you feel it should so I'm curious why you are even a fan at this point? Hell, you like nothing about the team, why even be a fan these days?  We can go backs and forth about how many games we have been to and measure dicks if you want or but it doesn't matter. I've been to my fair share over the years. Some as a fan and some work related but I bet you have been to more due to my weekends being filled with some work I do at the collegiate level so I probably only average maybe 2-3 games per year tops. You have me beat there im sure. You are probably very correct on us not being the same in anything at all I am quite sure of that. If I'm a "mark" (as you put it) for not liking Tepper and not caring about Canales religion or his political beliefs or letting it have weight on whether or not I like the team then call me a "mark" but you're still a whiny bitch either way.  When you hate everything about leadership from their personalities to their religious beliefs all the way to who they vote for at that point why even be a fan? I can side with you judging by your beliefs that you have made apparent, if you owned and coached the team, I sure as hell would find a new one to support but as you said we are different. Enjoy Norway, it is a beautiful country. Visited last year myself and absolutely loved it.

      This is exactly what we needed to see from Beyce

      The playing well part, depends on what happens going forward. It could have been a tease that will dig our hole deeper.  In the small picture of one game, probably his best game. Green Bay wasn't as great as people think it was. More like one good quarter. Followed by two games of exactly nothing.

      Oh, it was handled horrifically.  Ego got in the way of a plan.  I'm just saying, that he actually probably stumbled into the better outcome/plan.
