Khris Middleton shed his “Diamond Dimes” moniker for this game, totaling zero assists as he decided that his teammates were unworthy of the high-quality dimes he would dime to them if he felt like it. Instead, he redonned his “Middrange” nickname, abusing the hapless dinosaur defenders with his savvy and smooth jumpshot skills.
You know, during that dark time in my life when K-Middy was lying comatose in a hospital bed waiting for a team of the world’s top surgeons to surgically reattach his exploded hamstring, I almost forgot how important he is to the Buck’s success. Not only does he pile on the boxscore stats, but he brings the defense as well (not like I care about defense) and his intangibles are through the roof. I counted at least six different intangibles in this game alone: perserverence, leadership, courage, uh, perserverence, um, intelligence and shooting midrange jumpers. That last one is more a “tangible” than an “intangible” but you get the point: Kha$h Money Middleton has a lot of intangibles.
