Motor Keeps Going: The Michael Kidd-Gilchrist Thread III

[LofJ]

I see some random names voting for MKG. a Blazers announcer (Mike Rice), a Raptors announcer (Jack Armstrong), a Celtics reporter.

by the way, a shameless plug that if you want to read my review on MKG's season, which includes things I like about his defense, you can read it here:

I think he's obviously going to continue to refine his new jump shot this offseason, but do you think our coaching staff is even aware of MKG's weak left hand? I think that's an even bigger issue than his shot right now. I know he'll improve his shot over the offseason, but will he work on using his left hand when going to the rim?

If he can get both of these issues worked out he'll be heading to an all-star game. Call me crazy, but I want to see that happen next year.

I have no idea whether they are. They probably should be.. right? I hope so...

Every little bit helps, I'll try to tweet/instagram the team about it when I get the chance.

when he isn't practicing his jumper he should set up some boxing dummies and dribble around them and finish with his left hand. maybe get some pool noodles and attach them to the dummies so he gets hit some.

I have some time and noodles this summer. I will stand around and take swings at him as he goes up with his left.

MKG needs to get stronger he is already a decent size but he has to get stronger and finish though contact

[Vanderbilt_Grad]

I suspect that more strength would help protect him from injury some as well.

MKG sure didn't waste any time beginning his off season workouts.

[ball teacher]

Mkg needs to lift weights if he will continue to play SF, he's long limbed and kinda strong, but he's not really tall for the position at at 6'6-6'7 (6'7 seems to be a generous height listing imo).

Also he needs to shoot over 1000 jump shots. It could be difficult while bulking but he needs tons of shot repetition to learn how to perfect HIS shot. lastly I think MKG needs to develop a mid range floater, this summer, and use next summer to work on shooting off the dribble and extending his range.

I see the complaints abut MKG'S handles, I think they have regressed some but it's not a weakness like his lack of strength (which contributes to his losing the ball and awkward falling and injuries). Tons of shots, weightroom, and a floater is all MKG should focus on, and all he shouldve been doing, not learning how to place his feet and elbows for 2 years....smh.

Ah, MKG deleted the tweet.

He said "Well, it's been a great run and all great things come to an end" or something like that. I was walking down the stairs when I saw the tweet and nearly fell down the entire flight of stairs thinking we traded him or some ****.

It was obviously about the Spurs once you think about it though

Yeah, I was at work and I began frantically checking hoopshype, Google News, SN, every place I could think of. I was about an inch away from screaming at my phone in the middle of all of my coworkers.

So the question is when did Crunk get kicked out and did he come back as Messy2two?

I don't remember when or why, but I actually liked Crunk as a poster. I'm sure he's on here somewhere.
