I'm just grateful we get to watch OG hoop for 50-60 games a year. Truly blessed

God i hope so. I'm seriously kinda worried now, last night was just a bad night for NY basketball with the Liberty losing and Mikal/KAT not looking ready at all for regular season play. I didn't realize he (Mikal) switched up his form. :banghead:

However, if Mikal goes off against Boston i will be ready

A lot of guys try to minimize their games on a winning team. That’s a struggle and I think it’ll take time. I’m glad Mikal is going through stuff to fit in. Instead of not caring about winning, hogging the ball, doing spin moves and making turnovers.

I am not worried at all. Preseason is the time to try new things and just get your legs.

The Impatience Translator generates the following fan sentiment statement:

Why aren't you hogging the ball you POS?

The man’s mindset is obviously different from Julius. Hallelujah for that. It’s a good sign.

I hear ya, being measured and patient is the smart play. I think I'm just really anxious for Mikal to do really well

Mikal just needs to defend, run the floor and hit his open looks. The latter part I'm concerned with, but you and Deez are right. This is going to be a season long process for everyone. This is basically a brand new team compared to last year.

He's also at 60% TS during that time. Imagine if hr fixes it! He'll be challenging Mitchell Robinson for all time best TS%!

Jokes aside, usually players don't try to change their form during the season. I was just watching a interview about Tatum and he said his form was messed up towards the end of last season but he preferred to wait till the offseason to address it. Mikal unfortuantely might be a brick layer for the whole year.

It sounds like he's done this before. I'll get nervous if it's not right by February.

His shot was perfectly fine in Brooklyn.

Reports are coming in of widespread anxiety among the Metropolitan area crow population.

One crow in Massapequa that I spoke with indicated there is a creeping dread in his community ever since the Mikal hitch memes started saying,

"I dunno man, dudes be talking crap about some player and then he goes for 25 points and all of a sudden my cousin and great uncle go missing. Connect the dots. For real, I'm so tired of this garbage man."

I haven't watched this game yet. Reading the thread is funny though. We played 5 games and won 4. Let's hang everything on the one loss. Logic!!

His hitch has never been this bad. I followed the suns a lot cause of ayton. He had a hitch before but the shot was more fluid and faster. This hitch is crazy. He'll have to go through a major rework in his shot to fix it. I doubt that happens in the regular season but we'll see.

The positive things to take from the preseason don't count, so we can't talk about them.

Only the bad things count. Any more Tweets about guys who missed shots or didn't play lockdown defense in meaningless preseason games?

I posted his new hitch like a month ago when he was training and people told me he was just using it as form shooting. Looks like it's his real shot now :noway:
