    Superb game by KCP. It might be time to put KCP as a top ten SG in the league because he's been playing like it. If he had his own team, he'd be an 18/5/4 player. Solid defense, always healthy, 55% from three... Are you kidding me? KAY CEEE PEEEEEEEEE

    He's so instrumental to this team's success. What he brings on both sides is contagious. His sneaky Free Safety ability to shoot the passing lane and then he's making it rain from 3.

    He got off to a rough start against BI, but settled in and recovered well as the game progressed.

    Not pressing on his shots, confidence and no hesitation. Defense has been very good too.

    NOP should have asked for him instead of Ball and Hart lol. NOP would probably 5-10 more games if they had a guy like him. Almost every title contender needs a guy who can shoot, play defense, and also be one of the fastest guys on the court.

    Only thing he's not good at is guarding guys who are bigger then him: him on BI wasn't great (same as him on Kawhii)

    He's essentially a one man fast break with how fast he runs out for the outlet passes.

    On fire tonight! So glad to have KCP back. And I fully admit that I wasn't saying that at the beginning of last year. But you know what? This is the KCP I thought we were getting in the first place. Happy he's here!

    We tend to talk about Caruso and THT as fan favorites, but it needs to be acknowledged that KCP has flat out improved as a player.

    He’s dependable (when was the last time he was in a shooting slump?), efficient, always engaged, fast as hell, hits his 3s open or slightly contested, our whole transition game suffers when he’s not in the lineup, and he finishes at the rim on the break really really well. In fact I’m wondering if KCP might be leading the team in fast break points? I’m not sure. All I know is if we get a steal, and KCP is on the court, he’s ahead of everyone else on the break for the layup like 80% of the time. All that and he’s a really solid defender that fights through every screen and plays smart.

    I’m wondering if Phill Handy has been working with him, or if this is just KCP hitting his prime at 27.

    Either way, I want to acknowledge KCP for being a way better player than most of us thought he could be and a really important part of the team.

    Odd that from my recollections he is really like Bryon Scott 2.0.
    They both were fast, willing defenders, and loved those pull up jumpers. Big difference is KCP pulls up and shoots way more 3s while Scott loved those mid range fast break 2's. Maybe a difference in era mostly

    So we should not trade him and Kuz for Levine?

    Teams that have Beal or Lavine would want multiple first round picks. Our picks are no good for them and we basically don't have control over it until 2025 because of AD trade (we own our 2022 outright thats it)

    Agree. A difference I see is how they attacked the rim when contested. KCP likes to lay it in while Scott would dunk to posterize a defender(s).

    He was open in the corner on the fastbreak on the last possession ... Bron didn't pass to him because KCP turned down an open shot moments before ...

    Bad play by a moody Lebron
