KPJ is athletic, yes, but he's also got great footwork, handles, and good finishing ability. Are we sure the Luka trade was the biggest heist?

We have to figure out these 3rd quarters. We consistently come out from the break badly in nearly every game, and have to fight our way back again.

Hard to complain about TP given he’s here on the vet min. That we get this much production from him (as maddening as some turnovers are) is a blessing.

Doc explained that Giannis was rolling out there so they made a call together to keep him warm and in for his last minutes instead of the original plan to bring him back at the end

honestly, sit Giannis and Dame. make it the Kuzma and KPJ show. Sit Brook too, you already know he's going to hit front iron almost every time on tired legs.

Yes this, also it's hyperbole Dame only helps if he's hitting shots... even cold he had the other team's 2 best defenders shadowing him.. there's a trickle down when he sits everyone else gets defended tighter. Also his speed in all phases is disruptive.. always touching loose balls and causing havoc

Big shots.. scrappy d and tough fighting for boards.

The and 1 Kuz had on Harden was very under control... impressive.. make the ft next time

Kuzma is trying on D...like busting his ass the whole time he's in there and he's guarding a pretty big range of dudes. He forces too much on offense still but he seems smart and willing. Hopefully the bad shots get corrected with time.

Sims is clearly a freakish athlete and also looks like he gives a ****. It seems like he should be a capable minute eater.

Kpj is something else. He flails and spins and flops around...and it works. He doesn't look coordinated but he is.

I used to know a fella like that. His name was Jrue something.

Again there are people suggesting Kuzma was taking bad shots, lol. I recall literally ONE bad shot (on the break near brooks heater) - you'd think he was tour date dame the way people talk around here.

There's a fun Jrue Holiday trade thread that Celtics fans started on the T&T board. They don't think they could get Malik Monk or Reed Sheppard for him, I'm sure you could make a good offer.

I don't think there was a single human being on the planet that didn't think it was a total heist from a basketball perspective. KPJ has shown star potential throughout his career. It's the other stuff that has made him very available after his teams keep cutting ties with him.

Here's to hoping he's a changed man and our solid locker room can keep him locked in.

That double pump fake he had...sometimes it feels like he is really toeing the line between unpredictable and unstable. Like he could lose the ball at any moment but instead it's just a fantastic move.

Getting cautiously optimistic. Build chemistry, stay healthy, get Bobby back, get the 4th seed, and we might just have something with the Kuz/KPJ additions.

Doc's inability to limit Brook's minutes so he can consistently give maximum effort is going to cost us games and a playoff series

We just lost our 6th man big, Giannis was on minutes restrictions and Brook played less minutes than his season average. Previous 3 games all under 30 minutes.

I've no qualms about tonight. I don't trust Doc to continue to do what he did tonight.
