I’m still a bit worried about the shot need to see more but 2 solid games in a row for him helps ease the stress

the entire motion was faster last night, which made it make more sense

I really like Mikal's high-release off-balance mid-range shot, because it seems to be pretty reliable. By contrast, many of his high-release threes look really rushed and opportunistic, and the record for now shows that he is yet to find consistency with them. If they ever start going in at a consistent clip in the high 30s percentage-wise, it would be devastating to the opposition, since such a quick-release and high-release shot is indefensible. I wonder whether this is the reason he has tried to develop this new shooting form, as opposed to trying to compensate for lower lift and/or problem knees. I hope so.

Hopefully these 2 games aren’t a fluke, but I am glad our bullying is working. Good job guys!

He's a career 37+% shooter from 3. I think it's safe to say people needed patience with things when they made this thread before the regular season even started.

Problem knees? Dude hasn't missed a game in his career for anything. What makes you think something could be wrong with his knees? Odd thing to say.

This is the real Mikal.

I was concerned that he lost something physically as I watched him ride the hip of whoever he seemed to be guarding on defense.

Hopefully both the defense and shooting come back to be above average. If that happens, this team, if healthy, has a chance to do something special.

I know there was talk about hiding a Deuce knee injury until he got paid but, it was a silly idea that was mentioned here. I don't recall anything other than Bridges is an iron man and Thibs is gonna break him jokes.

First time I saw a mention of a possible knee issue was on this thread on Sunday.

I’m starting to think Mikal might have knee issues. With his form he barely needs to jump on his shots. It could explain why he shoots better from corner 3 and mid range. Less lift is required on those shots. It could explain why he can’t play defense like he use to and changed his form to compensate for his tired legs. If you play ball with tired legs you know what I’m talking about.

maybe it was just people making things up but i definitely read it a few times. not that it was due to an injury but to prevent potential injuries/stress to his legs. essentially jumping less / less high puts less pressure on his knees/ankles etc.

he has some some minor injuries that he has played through the past couple years.
