I like pretty much everything Kidd has done so far, now it's time to see what it looks like on the court. Don't like that we never developed cohesion with that lineup, but he needed to try different things and Sanders wasn't his fault. This was the lineup I said about a week ago that I thought it would be. Knight is the most talented PG, he was kind of always going to start to start the year at least. He's super motivated. Let's see what Kidd can do with him.

Giannis and Middleton on the wings is great. Especially since I think we started Gary Neal & Caron Butler on opening night last season.

Jabari & Larry down low. I think it's a great pairing. Jabari is a good rebounder, but Larry is purely a defensive guy while Jabari will take care of touches in the paint. Jabari is the first PF we'll have that will draw consistent double teams since Vin Baker. Shooters are gonna get open looks and Giannis will be slashing and making plays as well. I can't wait to see this offense let loose tomorrow.

It is hard for Kidd to keep Knight out. Kidd has the ultimate excuse, in that Knight was injured and didn't get much time to play with the other 4, but that would be tough to sell. Ultimately though, while our favorite crew of Giannis-Middleton-Parker-Sanders will play better with any of our guards (Marshal, Wolters, Bayless), Knight is still the best individual player. And for a team in transition like the Bucks, playing Knight and finding out what we have, or at least what we have to trade, is the best option.

I find this hysterical they have giannis at the SG SHOOTING GUARD don't u have to have a shot to play the 2

It is a riot that they have Knight at the PG, POINT GUARD, don't you have to POINT to play the 1?

Much cooler than the closeup.
