PG Heat: Strong 4th Quarter Leads to 4th Straight

Post #41 » by **paulpressey25** » Mon Feb 24, 2025 1:52 am

Getting a 2010 FTD vibe here with our new players.

Get the 4th seed and stay healthy for two-months from now.

They have all the power to torpedo us & they want to. Tonight was a demonstration of not getting the calls most other teams do. A KPJ suspension after he moved to the Bucks, but not when he was on the Clips, would fit into that bucket.

Herro with some nice numbers, but looking closer, he was very inefficient. His playmakng has greatly improved, but his defense is still garbage.

Miami has their center for the next 10 years. The fact I was raving abut him before the draft makes me sad.

Sure, but getting KPJ and Sims had nothing to do with Mids. How fun would it be to have Mids throwing lobs to Sims?

There's nothing to suspend him for.

Watching a Heat fan game recap and they're livid Miami let KPJ look like "Houston-era James Harden" :lol:

I still think he is guilty of some pretty garbage asset management. But reeling in two distressed assets in Kuz/KPJ undeniably producing very promising early returns.

The team is so much more fun to watch right now.

I still think he gave up too much for Kuzma but Kuzma some how growing 2 inches taller at the trade deadline makes the trade more palatable. Lol. I would've liked a few players over Kuzma but he has been much better defensively than I thought. His play is why a few of us on the board wanted Deni last year. Kuzma just needs to shoot from 3 better and hopefully he will.

Nah, because he played defense and didn't foul bait. He was just on. Love that they are pissed though.

Hopefully. But there is still an active league investigation.

They're investigating him, so obviously they disagree it's not a close call, & we haven't gotten many of those this year.

Kyle Kuzma is already 7th in total free throws taken on the Bucks this year. He is 11 away from top 5.

I wonder if the case stays open because he has a counciling stipulations he has to do In order to not be suspended.

KPJ was the most talented guard on both the cavs and rockets when he played for them.

We’ve all talked about the issue with him, but if he’s finally turned the corner, been going to therapy, surrounded himself with good influences, then we’ve absolutely got a keeper.

He’ll only get better here as he gets more comfortable.

I’m hoping Midds gets bought out next year and comes back. But athletically Kuzma is such an upgrade over Midds. KPJ, Sims also help a bunch.

KPJ play style reminds me of a young lefty Donovan Mitchell. If he gets his 3ball going again while maintaining his 2pt scoring as a Buck he will be scary. He doesn't need to shoot the 3 at a high percentage either. If he is around 36% then he is golden.
