Things got so bad that, in the closing minutes of the game, Krystkowiak had heated words with a group of fans seated along the baseline next to the Bucks bench and the fans were shown the door by ushers.

"People forget this would be his rookie year had he stayed in college," Krystkowiak said. "Whenever you are the first pick in the draft there are always expectations and I’m not sure he was ready for it."

But despite having completely the wrong personnel for a zone that hasn’t stopped Krystkowiak from whipping it out over the last two games. And, what do you know, the Bucks zone defense has gotten shredded by the likes of Joe Johnson, Tyronn Lue, Kyle Korver and even Andre Iguodala.

"Everyone has asked me why I didn't go to Marquette or UWM or Wisconsin," he said. "The fact is that I never got a letter from any of those schools. I didn't get a call from one of those schools. That's kind of what's motivated me: having guys looking over me and saying I'm not good enough, I'm not tall enough, I'm not strong enough, I'm not quick enough. Those are the things that motivate me."
