The important thing here is that any moron can see that Kevin Durant is FUNDAMENTALLY STREAKY!!!!!! given he's now 20/54 from the field in Milwaukee.

Not really. It's likely we'd have gotten swept if not for injuries.

It's gotta SUCK seeing your favorite team do good things.

Khris's passing has been excellent. Should have more assists, but people have been laying bricks and fumbling passes. He's literally been a better PG than Jrue in the series, arguably by far.

No doubt Kris has been the Bucks best player.

Irving wasn't the only one with ankle issues.

I've been a doubter long before Dunn.

You must be a fun guy at parties. Good lord. The toxic negativity is f*cking tiring.

How hard is it to be happy that we are 2-2?

Come on guys, lets be realistic ... we are being bailed out by the basketball Gods from Nets injuries. If Khris gets streaky , and in general if our players and coach perform 80% of their abilities we are probably NBA Champions. We need to never take our foot off the gas. Love you all.

Khris Middleton thread, let's get back to that. Thanks - MD

Say what you will about Middleton, but I trusted him more than anyone down the stretch to make the right play.

I mean, some of those late possessions. Jrue watched Durant switch onto him and he chose to dribble around for eight seconds before taking a tough baseline jumper over a guy a foot taller than him, instead of feeding Giannis at the rim with gimpy Harden and Joe **** Harris on him.

Giannis posting up a gimpy Harden and taking a tough baseline fade away instead of backing him down and pummeling the rim (something we used to see him to a lot more often before he become afraid of shooting free throws or drawing charges).

Middleton has a late game possession, does an excellent job driving and feeds Giannis for a wide open dunk.

He still is way too loose with his handles, but Khris has ice in his veins. I never sense fear in him.

Didn't he hit the side of the backboard on a baseline jumper?

Saying you trust him over anyone on the team isn't much either,since nobody trusts either Giannis or Jrue at all.

This is a bad time to praise Khris @humanrefutation
Knowing Giannis FT% Khris should have opted to take that 3ft floater over Jeff Green
His decision to pass the ball to Giannis was weak from his part too.
He didn't have the balls to shoot it either.
8/22 FGs. 3/10 3s
We still have a chance, if we get streaky as a team for the next month, but we have built a bad losing habbit against good teams this year. I hope for it but I can't see it happening

Wrong. That pass was the correct call.

I mean, it's not about 'balls', it's about who is a better finisher that close to the rim. That's where Giannids makes hay. I can't fault Kris for that pass. I can fault Giannis for not expecting the pass and his butterfingers.

I agree that he's our most reliable clutch performer, but that's not saying much. He only scored three points in the 4th quarter (a three with 8 minutes left, didn't score after that).

Giannis was brutal, but it should be noted that he hit some tough shots down the stretch.

Jeff Green fouls Giannis hard and sends him to the FT line even if he catches the efing ball. He should have shot the ball, period. He choked too.

At similar circumstances we should ONLY lob it to Giannis for an alley oop play. Don't give the defense a chance to send him to the FT line
