This was my question. Next exactly a great endorsement of Kreutzer, who I assume is pretty much only on staff to help fix our guys' shooting technique.

Eh. I now think MKG's broken shot is on him, to be honest. He was making some strides when he was under Price but when he left and MKG got injured he somehow regressed and the elbow hitch returned.

Well that is certainly interesting. With MKG's luck, the NBA position he speaks of is with another team and MKG will lose yet another shot coach.

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!

Is that correct?

Is he pulling a Jeremy Lin and using bible verses to tell us something is going down?

Part of it.

"Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God."

Trading MKG will be the most bittersweet thing to happen to this team since we moved on from Crash

Maybe he's just sending a message to all the players and draft hopefuls out there to relax, take this day and all it's chaos in stride. don't stress about getting trading or being included in trade rumors, don't worry about where you get drafted, just go with the flow.

That's the best I can do.

First time I've seen him do it, but maybe I missed before.

Whatever... MKG goes 1-for-2 from 15 feet. Rejoice.

Body turned sideways. Check.
Elbow pointed in the wrong direction. Check.
Hand on top of the ball. Check.

Never a good sign when the release of your jumper can be timed in "Mississippis". One Mississippi, two Mississippi...

He does have a nice follow through, I can at least say that.

Agreed but any time you are relearning something you start slow. What I took away was the lack of a hitch in the shot and a release at the top of his little jump. Both of those things would be an improvement on what we have seen so far.

Yeah, at this point in uninterested in his form. Put the ball in the basket when you are far away from the basket.

We'll see if he can do that when the season starts. Until then it's all meh for me.
