Tag: Khris Middleton

Bucks fans are starting to turn on Khris Middleton a bit. Mostly because he doesn’t play a whole ton of defense anymore, but also because he likes to shoot iso midrange jumpers. Now, I agree with that first one. I can see where people are coming from on that. But the isos? I love those…

It’s taken me a while to figure out, but Khris Middleton doesn’t really show up against good opponents. He has a few decent games against some second-tier teams, but the real elite teams, he’s nonexistent. I guess you could say the same about the lot of players, but what sets Middleton apart is the way…

I don’t know why Khris “Khash Money Deuces” Middleton traded in his three-point shooting for a devastating turnaround midrange fader, since three is definitely worth more than two, but he did. I also didn’t know there was a marketplace where NBA players could trade their skills for other skills. Can Thon Maker please trade his…

I have watched a lot of Bucks games this year, and I have this factoid to report to you: when Khris Middleton shoots a midrange jumper, it goes in. Every time. He never misses. I don’t care what the stats say, becase I say that his midrange game is the money-est midrange game in the…

Jason Kidd is gone now. Everyone with two eyes could see that he was ineffective coach (“hit me”), but I didn’t think the Bucks’ management would actually find the stones to can him. And that’s enough about that. I’ll elucidate my thoughts on the matter in another video (hopefully something like “Rashad Vaughn 26 Points/1…

It was just a matter of time before this happened. Khris “Khobe” Middleton flashed a different part of Kobe’s game tonight, the part of his game where he decides to stop shooting endless midrange iso jumpers and instead tries to find his teammates, and does it so well that he gets a triple-double out of…

The midrange iso game of Khris “Khobe” Middleton is the kind of thing that should piss any reasonable basketball fan off. Ball movement isn’t as “in” as it was a few years ago, but it’s still the preferred style of play around the league, and here we have Khobe, getting the ball somewhere in the…

The good thing about having a big three (in this case, Khris Middleton, Giannis, and Bledsoe) is that sometimes one of the three can have not a great game and you can still win. Is that what Heat fans felt like? I think it is. The similarities are striking. We’ve got a LeBron (Giannis), and…

Khris Middleton was great tonight, but I have to wonder about his potential game-tying shot with 9 seconds remaining. The Bucks had a whole timeout with which to come up with something good, like a good set to run or something, and they (probably just Jason Kidd actually) decide on “have Middleton iso against one…

I’m pretty sure that the Bucks have a big three right now. Eric Bledsoe, Khris Middleton, and Giannis Antetokounmpo. I’m not sure that the “EKG” nickname for them will stick, actually I am sure because it sucks, but I’m also sure that all reasonable definitions for the term “big three” would encompass that threesome. Khris…
