OMFKG! The Michael Kidd-Gilchrist Thread

[thruthefire]

That needs to be updated with the last two games. I do remember him hitting a couple of mid-range jumpers yesterday against the Celtics. Overall, he seems to be making improvements. He needs to stop spending so much time standing around with his hands in his pants now.

MKG only played 20 minutes last night but I don't think TOR is a good matchup for him. Or either Dunlap wanted to give Taylor nearly as many minutes because it was his night on the front of the program.

They haven't updated the stats with the Celtics game yet. The game log disappointed me though. As I'm preparing footage for my MKG mixtape I take notice of him making jumpers and I clearly remember that he hit one 20-footer from the left corner. According to hoopdata he didn't make one. I hope that this is a fluke and the stats are correct.

This is from after the draft and I hate to say it but Skip was right

Nothing groundbreaking but interesting in hindsight.

I dont get why Dunlap doesn't value what MKG brings to games. He seems intelligent enough to realize that Ben Gordon gives up just as much or more through horrible defense, rebounding, and turnovers as his shooting helps.

i knew when he went to the bench at 9:30 in the 3rd he was totally done for the night. sad

[Gremz]

I'm a big MKG fan. Get a solid roster around him and he'll flourish in all aspects I reckon.

[KembaWalker]

if you watch MKG doing the drill with Dunlap on bobcats.com its kinda neat because he ended up using that exact move for his first shot of the game and made it

Dunlap definitely can teach these guys, but he cant manage their minutes for ****

if i see kemba bg pargo on floor together again im gonna have to buy a seat near the bench just so i can ask dunlap wtf is wrong with him

A pic a ran across while browsing the internet. Look how rail thin he was

My hope is that the reigns on MKG are all about the Tank. Stephanie (Boy is she) Ready said one night that MKG averages 12 and 7 when he plays 30 minutes. I hope they keep reigns on him, because they fear winning to many games if he is let loose.

The Bobcats are so bad this year, I think it's wilfully blind to believe MKG playing an extra 10 minutes would make a difference to your lotto odds. No, the reason for MKG not playing is not because he's too good, it's the opposite reason- he is an inexperienced rookie who costs you games at times (i.e. he's bad). MKG looks like a really nice player, but there's really no question at this point he was a mistake at #2.

Says a guy that has probably seen little to no Bobcats games this season.

dont feed the troll

Aren't you that clueless guy who went full (Please Use More Appropriate Word) in the draft forum?


Exhibit A

Given how much the Bobcats have sucked this year, I think we can feel confident MKG playing 36-40 minutes per game wouldn't have hurt their lotto odds in the slightest. The reason MKG is not getting minutes is not because of a special coaching philosophy, it's because his play doesn't merit it. The Bobcats coach is only interested in winning (even if the front office is fine with losing a little), his job is at stake, and he's played MKG in trivial minutes lots of games, typically yanking him out over half the game for bad play. Not because MKG is too good, but for the opposite reason.

Exhibit B

To put this in perspective, alot of Bobcat fans seem to think they can build their offense around Kemba Walker... Lillard as an inexperienced rookie is already better than Kemba, and has the tools to keep putting distance between them.

Please stop posting

It's a real shame this jman is probably ruining the reputation of the real jman who is a quality prospect analyst.

[jman2585]

Haven't seen any opinions quoted that are wrong...

[KembaWalker]

you couldnt possibly be more clueless about our team, players, or coach. please stop posting about them if you're going to be willfully ignorant. there are a lot more raptors fans than us if you're looking to troll. pro tip: they are super excited about that valanciunas kid

[jman2585]

There is nothing unreasonable about any of the posts you have cited. Do you think Kemba is better than Lillard? Really?

[vorbis]

just a general protip: spend less time trying to sound confident, less time using words like ass-pennies, and more time doing that mental exercise called thinking. the first few workouts will seem painful, that's because they are. you must break a muscle in order for it to grow.

[KembaWalker]

report for baiting & trolling and move on, 30 posts per day could you be a more obvious waived new accounter
