Mikki Moore

[Mac26]

This guy has been around since 98 and he sucks big time. We should have keep POB at least he is younger and will be a hell of alot better than Mikki " I suck" Moore.

LMAO! This guy sucks, big time! I really do (no joking) think POB would have been better.

Mikki Moore sucks but POB is even worse. Hard to imagine but it is true...

LoL...he did get flung by the ref. He is the weakest player in the NBA and he has the shortest arms of a 7 footer I have ever seen. Its like he couldnt block a shot to save his life.

So essentially we could have had Joe Smith but risk being stuck with nobody or Patrick O'bryant. The owners put up some money to take a risk on the only guy that was a sure thing to add to the roster. Its not like you can be mad at Ainge for injuries or for the fact that nobody was available. They got what they could. They probably werent going to get Joe Smith anyway.

I thought he was actually a pretty good high flyer/shot blocker that defends decently but I was obviously wrong.

I told you so.

Moore was NEVER known for his defense. He is NOT a defensive-minded player. I said this before the Celtics signed him.

[Red2]

that is funny...70 year old Joey Crawford tossing Mikki Moore around like he's a rag doll. MM will be the answer to several trivia questions years from now. I actually thought he was going to help us but I think he's really stupid and hasn't been able to pick up our defense. SOmetimes I think Doc confuses new players and Mikki looks like a guy who has gotten too much info and is unsure what to do. Sometimes i watcht the Dog Whisperer and it all sounds good while Cesar is going his stuff with the dogs but when he turns it over to the owner they have no idea what he's talking about. Well, I think it's like that with Mikki. He hears the words from Doc but they're not sinking in. He will not be back and if he is, god help us

Strengths: activity, off the ball movement, efficiency
Weaknesses: lacks strength, little post game, foul prone, bad hands

Offense (Scoring & Passing)

Strictly a role player. Master of off the ball movement. Little one on one ability, extremely dependent on others to set him up and hit him on cuts, but finishes at a high percentage when they do. Will punish lazy or inattentive defenders by slicing to the hoop looking to take the pass. Dunks easily, and prefers to finish this way inside. Has a very limited post game, mostly consisting of a right handed jump hook. Lacks strength and ability to hold his position to get it off though. Experiments at the beginning of last season to use him as a primary post weapon were disastrous. Has a midrange jumper that was less reliable last year than previously. Very athletic and runs the floor easily. Suffers from hands of stone, and prone to fumble any pass that does not hit him mid body. That improved somewhat as the season went along last year, but it may just have been teammates realizing how careful they had to be with the pass. Willing role player and screen setter, and rolls well to the hoop. Not a factor as a passer, and rarely has the ball in his hands.

Defense & Rebounding

Has the length and athleticism to be a shot blocker, but has not been since early in his career. Lacks timing and awareness. Prefers to run under people and try to draw charges now, and can be disruptive with this tactic. Has quickness to guard the perimeter, and saved several tight games last season by closing out on opposing guards trying to get off last second shots. Lacks strength inside, and can be easily overpowered in the post. Extremely foul prone -- in fact led the entire NBA in fouls last season (the constant attempts to draw charges do not help). On the boards, activity and athleticism offset by lack of strength and bad hands. Active around the offensive glass in particular, but fumbles numerous rebounding opportunities. On defense can be pushed under the hoop, and is frequently invisible as a rebounder.

Intangibles

One of the true journeymen of the NBA. Never good enough to stick, but makes himself valuable as a role player and so keeps on finding a new team. Extremely enthusiastic on the court, clapping, yelling encouragement to teammates, and prone to letting out big yells when dunking. Sometimes enthusiasm crosses the line into the absurd with him making much more noise with his mouth than his game. Known as a good teammate and locker room guy, but had some uncharacteristic spats last season with the coaching staff.

Whatever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MyInsatiableOne]

^At least Mikki has been able to get in games not during garbage time, unlike POB...

[Hemingway]

Moore can ply in the NBA (albeit not well) POB can not.
