they actually stopped making it, some bull****!

looked, it was discontinued in 2016. Coulda sworn I've had it since then. The flame arrester in the neck was neat, but I guess too much liability.

Middleton and Bledsoe suck

Khris feels much better now, Bled feels much better, I bet Giannis feels much better after watching that, we all feel much better!

Let's get the Nuggets now because they will come here to play some serious basket. They lost tonight and they need a win in the next one because they are trying to keep their home advantage in front of the Rockets.
I bet the game will have playoff vibes.
Can't wait!

In case you were unsure, the answer is decidedly: yes.

Bucks just need the title to validate it.

To be fair, it is not as if he is shooting or could be shooting 7/10 from 3 every night.

That was a great performance from him (to say the least). But it should be treated as what it was; a rare occurrence.

Oh obviously, 50 isn't realistically attainable on a regular basis or anything, but he could comfortably average 25+ if he had that alpha I'm taking the shots mentality all the time, without losing much efficiency. The bit thing holding back any volume numbers is he doesn't draw many fouls.

Yep, agreed. I think in general he should also find more FGAs per game (around 2-3 more).

Also I think Bud deserves some credit for bending on the whole no shooting mid range shots thing when it comes to Khris, seems like he's a lot more comfortable now.

Khris has been awesome since coming back from injury. I still really think him seeing our success while he was sidelined got his ass into a whole new gear. Also, he and Bud fully understand each other now, which has allowed this offense to level up as well from a versatility standpoint.

As long as he keeps this up, I will not bitch and moan about that contract.

4 Days Rest.
The Wizards at Home.
Giannis sits.
Bizarre officiating.
Outlier shooting.

We'll take it right? Another great shooting performance by Khris. How we feeling for the playoffs? Will this translate?

How about Eric? 34/6/10...This game is representative, yes? No? Only the Middleton games mean something? Cool.

None of this nonsense is preparing us for the postseason. No defense, just let it fly.

I mean per 36 he averages 25-7-5 right now. Just like Giannis he is playing less than usual because of the load management/blowouts. He is playing just 29 MPG

Siakam right now is putting 24-8-3 in 35 minutes per game.

The white flag has long been up for the regular season battle. What we anticipated as a back and forth fight lasting through the winter and into the spring has instead turned into an embarassing rout.

However we retreat into our playoff stronghold where we ready our cannons. Each one painted with the numbers 11, 12, 9, 6, 14 representing 5 of Khris's point totals from the Toronto series.

Excellent. A game isn't impressive if there isn't an extremely specific, record-breaking stat for it

We've locked up the 8th seed and it's still January :lol:

Seriously though, it's been an incredible year, definitely not taking this for granted.

Khris needs more Paris in his life.
