Re: PG: Bucks Thunderstruck!
Thanks for those highlights. Much more efficient than trying to watch the whole game on DVR. I noted that Giannis doesn't hesitate to pass the ball to Ridnour when he is open. Not even a nod of acknowledgement from Ridnour on some nice passes.

Ridnour looks at Giannis after the bucket.

Re: PG: Bucks Thunderstruck!
We really need to ride it out with Sanders. A guy with his intensity/temper can bottom out with a team that plays this poorly and doesn't care. For all of his faults, Larry cares about winning and once we land our top 3 pick and start building the right way he'll be a huge asset. Based on the fall out with Neal, its pretty clear Sanders was in the right with what took place in that locker room.
We need a guy with passion (and slightly crazy) to give us an edge as a young team.
On another note, If Drew and our management has any sense we'll give Wolters the keys to the PG job starting right now for the rest of the season so we can get a long look at him. He'll be a huge benefit for not only Giannis but Henson and Sanders in the pick and roll.
If we are lucky enough to land Wiggins we are in great shape. I think we can build something with this rotation.
Wolters is that pass first, big, point guard that can help get the most out of our players (rather than icing them out), we'd have a sg/sf combo that outshines ray and big dog in their prime with their amazing athleticism, and we'd have a long as hell front line that can frustrate teams. From there we have a nice bench already with a combo guard off the bench in knight (provided he's not allowed to chuck), a 6th man in Middleton, size off the bench with Rad, and a stretch 4 in Ersan.
The key as mentioned earlier though is to land the right veteran coach that can teach these guys the right way. I would absolutely love Karl. It could be a nice "no pressure" last stop for his coaching career. But this is what i want to see next season, a 9 man rotation that can grow together and compliments one another well.

Our bench had the same reaction I have when I watch the Warriors play.

That bench reaction really shows just how great that "veteran" presence has been.

Holy ****. He's probably gonna be able to block a lot of shots after being pick and rolled simply because of his strides and the length of his arms. Incredible. I love this guy
Ridnour going after the ball like a complete spaz is the best part of that. He looks like he's ttrying to swim.
The block was pretty good too.

And then throw it into our basket on the other end of the court before landing.
LOL. For some reason, I laughed really hard at that.
