    Backed up his tweet, for sure. Maybe Danny should get a burner.

    Great bounce back game from KCP. Best he's looked in the bubble.

    Maybe the extra work with Handy and Kidd yesterday helped.

    I don't expect a 2nd best +24 from him each hand. But if he can make 2-3 3s, with 8-10 points, he's good. No more 0 fors, no more 1 point outings.

    I thought KCP could do it: he was playing really well pre-bubble so made sense that he probably just needed to get back into rhythm

    Green OTOH: he was pretty bad last playoffs so I'm not expecting much from him outside hopefully 1-2 good games a series

    Thank you for not sucking.

    He has shown he can shoot, has good hustle and can play pesky D. Glad to see some good results. We need at least four starters contributing and can share carrying the weight of Danny Green on their collective backs.

    Excellent bounce back. Glad to see him recover from that Ofer in game one. He played well on both sides of the ball, too. Good energy. Danny Green were you taking notes at all?

    Honestly when the ball swings to KCP for a corner three in a big moment, I have a LOT of confidence it’s going in.

    He's been playing really well since that awful Ofer.

    Pope turned the corner during the season, and he's done it during the bubble. He deserves credit, I'm at the point where I'm willing to believe he's a consistent contributor.

    14 points, 5 assists, 44.4% for 3. He missed some shots early, but I said let him take more shots. The guy is back, he just needs to get into the groove sometimes. He definitely hit some timely threes last night. I'd re-sign him, actually. Him, Bron, AD, Kuz, Caruso and Dwight. Get Dragic and Cousins, and we go from there.

    I wouldn’t mind resigning him but that depends on the price. How much are you willing to pay him on his next contract?

    Pope is playing better than Green who has coasted on his name and rep... Let's not forget Waiters who deserve a fair shot.

    What he is earning now. Around 8M, number of years negotiable. He is earning his salary right now. But he’s not worth what we’re currently paying Green. If he wants longer contract, I’d give it to him.

    Player option. Like Rondo. We need to trade Green. Maybe McGee and Bradley too, because we need a better playmaker/scorer than Bradley. Dwight needs to be re-signed. Young guys are going to be here next year. I don't know what we can do about Rondo's contract... but maybe we can package him for more 3&D on the wing.

    I believe him. I always end up trusting KCP that he will bounce back. Green, not so much. One of them going off should be enough anyway, especially if Kuzma contributes something... anything.
