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

[RiotPunch]

Stylistically, KPJ is the shot in the arm we've needed. Morally, I'm choosing to root for him to better himself and hopeful that our strong locker room is the perfect spot for him to do so.

Man, he's got the goods, though.

Trent making shots was good to see.

As much as I miss Midds, this team is just sooooooooo much more athletic and frankly fun.

Kuzma with a solid 16/3/3 (Middleton was out tonight, injury management)

Great win sparked by KPJ. He was a lottery ticket FA and trade chip that has netted the Bucks great results.

Giannis is awesome and Dame was good. If he was a slightly better PG this team would be nearly impossible to beat but if Giannis had a 3pt shot he might be the best player ever. The point is no player is perfect and Dame has played great this season for the most part.

I liked Kuzma guarding Herro down the stretch as a nice change up. Herro had it going against all the 6'4 guys so why not try Kuzma in the AJax role.

Jon Horst won the trade deadline.

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.

Green's in an offensive funk, but I reject the notion his defense has fallen off. That's where reps get tied. A lot of the top players for DPOY are there in part cuz they're good on o. He was clamping Wiggins. Some wanted him to come out. That's wrong.

Encourage Doc to play him w/ the starting unit more, maybe he gets better looks, & comes out of the funk. Doc was right not to play KPJ down the stretch. He was great for his own stint, but it's too many cooks in the kitchen w/ Dame & Giannis.

I'll just repeat what I said before the game.

The additions of Kuzma and KPJ have given me some new optimism going into the stretch run of the regular season.

I love Middleton and all that he has done for the Bucks.

But Horst robbed both the Wizards and Clippers blind. Especially the Clippers.

I’ve been shocked about how much I like him and how he plays as a third banana. Seems to mostly know his role and the defense is pretty impressive.

Going from rooting for a team that looked uninterested in basketball to a team that gets into other teams defensively down the stretch is very exciting. There is just something awful about rooting for a team that can only be described as old. This is fun stuff.

The O is pretty rough. He always gets sucked back into the vortex of inefficiency between shot/decision-making. If he could just drop his usage, he'd clearly be a positive long view. And his d wasn't good tonight, but it + the boards have been overall.

Solid win, the boys locked in when it mattered.

Doc is a moron for starting Prince at the 2. It's an inexplicable dumb lineup choice, we're approaching March and this dude still hasn't figured out a sensible starting 5. Unsurprisingly when Prince played just 1 minute in the 4th and we had actual 2 guards out there we played pretty damn good defense.

The giannis quotes about how he just needs to be somewhere he is 'loved' are pretty ponigant to me. We have probably the perfect spot to give him a true chance at being a good basketball player.

We are probably the first team in the nba where we are encouraging kpj to take those middies and cook. We are not trying to change him into a "better" player because we need the things he does well more then we need another aj green clone

I don't really like his game but at least he's playing.

Total dad move too

[Dick Tate]

Great to see Giannis with some spring back in his step.

[tydett]

Doc is a moron

Can just stop there, my dude.

[Turk Nowitzki]

I can't wait for the league to magically hand down a suspension for KPJ now that he's playing a key role for us.

Since we're going with the karate kid theme.
