He literally took over the game tonight.

I dont know what else to say but i cant sleep now

Spit on and hes only what 26 i mean the dude was a star in the making at houston hes already one of the quickest on this team who by far has the best handles.

I'm one of those who turned it off. I couldn't believe it when I just checked the final score.

First time KPJ has really heard the Fiserv crowd make some noise. :lol:

T-Shirts shot into the crowd, Bakhtiari chugging beer, Bobby Portis. About the only 3 things that'll wake them up.

Gruber came off the bench, Doc subbed him in for Lopez, and he was filling it up from deep.

Game ball, that's all!

KPJ & GTJ with some real Bash Brothers vibes down the stretch. They were aggressive AF on the perimeter.

I think some recalculation is in order if the Middleton trade allows us to sign Kpj long term.

I could be wrong, but if another team offers him more, which very likely could happen, I think he's gone.

If true he's gone... Bunch of teams can offer him better deal

Watch on YouTube

Watching that again, KPJ is going to get an offer(s) we can't match.

I was going to say… can we even sign KPJ? What needs to be done? I’ve seen enough.

Willing to trade everyone sans Giannis to keep KPJ

I became a fan of kpj when I saw him play in his first game with the Bucks. I wrote here about the promise he had. Yet I didn’t think he would start flourishing so quickly. In my thinking, kpj is a star in the making.

He is absolutely our 2nd/ 3rd best player.

We only gave up Marjon for KPJ. I still can't wrap my brain around that.

And I'm convinced that TP does not provide any value to our team at all.

The one thing we have for kpj that he may not automatically have somewhere else is a guaranteed third option role that could become a second option. And then you add Giannis to that and maybe its enough. But if hes just going to take the most money possible, then yeah hes gone.

That was elite tier fun. Giannis is getting into playoff gear, KPJ has been various ratios of MCW/SGA since we got him, and he's quickly trending towards a lot more of the latter.

Dude looks like he could be Gianni's Penny Hardaway.

That wide shot they showed of the forum when AJ tied it gave me 2001 BC vibes.

Insane that the Clippers traded us Porter for the worst player in the league. I’d be furious as a Clips fan.

Giannis looked gassed and relieved after the game. Gotta be a good feeling to know you don’t have to do everything to win. Most demure triple double ever.

For all of Bobby’s faults, I think he’s the clear emotional leader of the team. So happy for him after all he’s been through this year. Gonna go back and watch the Bucks championship Doc on YouTube just so I can hear him say “I got you Giannis” mid hug.

wait wtf we won this game? I went to sleep down 20 and it looked very over in the 3rd.

soxperry · Post #140 » by **soxperry** » Wed Apr 9, 2025 11:16 am

I knew kpj had the capacity to be a shooter and a scorer with great athleticism. What i did not know is that hes already a good playmaker (with sloppy passing at times) and that he can look like an elite defender (although thats complicated). Add to that footwork and feel AND he gets to the line!

If he doesn't have the history, hes making 30M plus. Quite honestly, i dont think anyone will do that until they see him keep his head on for whatever this next contract is.

I wonder how many teams actually have cap space this off-season
