Talent recognizes talent. You saw how Giannis spoke about KPJ in the locker room. Now tonight after the game when Melanie asked Dame about him, Dame was at a loss for words at first before gushing over him.

There's nothing to suspend him for.


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


Active just means that haven't flipped the manilla folder shut yet. There's no new evidence. It's basically their form of probation.

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


That makes a lot of sense

You trust that Silver will do the right thing. I don't.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

After the gentle scolding Miles Bridges got, KPJ might get an award named after him.

[quote="Shaffty"]Kyle Kuzma is already 7th in total free throws taken on the Bucks this year. He is 11 away from top 5.[/quote]

Folks complain about his FT%. I’m just happy to see another player who can draw a foul.

Those 2 passes Giannis had to Brook were seriously elite.

I thought he was about to spaz into a bad mid range fadeaway on the one with about 2min left in the fourth, then just perfectly lays it into brook’s lap.

Trent has no business starting, but I agree Prince shouldn't either. Dame should have his minutes brought down to whatever level that gets him to defend.

Was at the game tonite that 1st half was rough and the refs were just terrible the whole place was booing them. KPJ looks even better in person his quickness and ball handling is impressive Doc play him more!
Not starting Trent instead of prince is just brain dead coaching by Doc I just don’t get it he is not quick enough to guard the SG position. Trent AJ KPJ are 3 guards that should start before prince does.
Great win that crowd got loud in 2 nd half I probably was loudest one out there lol

Start kpj, stagger dame/kpj min other that.. but let them finish halves together. KPJ being the 2nd ball handler lets Giannis post up and Kuz slash/shoot corner 3s.

i like what Kuzma brings to the table for the most part. I'm wondering if maybe he just shouldn't be shooting 3 pointers, though. Or maybe just not 5 per game. Maybe more like 1 or 2 and only if he's wide open. i just really dont think he's a shooter. that's fine, he's pretty dynamic otherwise.
