Great news! MKG has a torn labrum, AGAIN! The same exact injury he had earlier this year! Seriously, this guy can't stay healthy.

Kidd-Gilchrist's MRI revealed a torn labrum in his right shoulder.

Kidd-Gilchrist injured his shoulder in Wednesday night's game against the Pacers. Though team officials say he will be re-evaluated after the All-Star break, the severity of the injury likely means that Kidd-Gilchrist will be out indefinitely.

This is why I wasn't really excited for this extension.  He's the glass man.  I don't think he'll ever be able to stay healthy.

And if they let him go with their luck you just know he will never get injured and turn into a three point marksman and perennial DPOY.

Charlotte sports gonna Charlotte.

This can be corrected with proper healing and rehab.  Remember when they said Steph Curry had "glass ankles"?

Even if the shoulder doesn't become a recurring thing MKG getting hurt someway will be. The guy plays too hard for his own good. The thing that makes him special is ultimately what will derail his career. It is really sad because the guy has the talent, work ethic and in game drive to be a superstar but I don't see him ever staying healthy enough to put it all together.

He's just like Gerald Wallace, honestly, with the way he plays.  So much potential but injuries just curbed them.  

It's hard to be a basketball fan unless your team has drafted a superstar or have Popavich as your coach.   If you're in the middle of the pack like us, it's almost never going to happen.   Tanking is almost the only way for a smaller market team like the Hornets to get a superstar and that's not even guaranteeing you a first round pick.   It's hard not to get demoralized.

The way the NBA is set up right now, particularly with the draft "lottery" is why there are so many teams tanking every year. Doesn't look like it's going to be changing anytime soon either unfortunately. In the next 10 years, the league is going to have to make big changes, or it's going to be struggling big time.

I'm not denying the fact that MKG is one of those injury prone guys, but both of the spills he took were very awkward, and rarely you see players take a spill like that. Bad luck and/or rushing him back played a HUGE factor in this.

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Look, I've been pounding on the Canales shouldn't be calling the offensive plays thing since last year. He's first off, not very versatile and makes Ron Rivera look like a master of mid-game adjustments. Also, because I think you really, really need to be calling the offensive plays from the booth with a better view of the whole field.  A coach on the field cannot grasp how the opposing sideline WR is doing in coverage while also checking the two receivers on his side, plus keep up with how the line is doing and if the RB is in the groove. Heck, for the line alone he doesn't have the best view of where the RB is going to see success and how to best exploit it. Hence Rico saying, Yo coach, keep running this.  Still, all these things in there, no matter how hard I'm banging on that drum, I can't let it drown out my joy in getting one of those rare Ws. Even coaches can learn and grow from them. I sure hope he will.

      I fully understand the questioning of Dave and BY, just the timing of your concerns is my problem. NFL is ultra hard to pull off the perfect game. In all my years Ive never seen a HC have the perfect game plan and have great play call after great play call.  Tmac has helped in every game, honestly more than I thought he was going to show. It does look like he was in fact the reason to trade AT and allow Tamc to feast on his targets. I have re-watched the wins, I have seen Tmac get red zone looks. Brother, he's about the 80-90% of passing attack. Dave is young inexperienced HC and he's learning on the job, hope he improves along with BYs confidence.    Its going to be alllllll right, trust me as your co-pilot.

      You cannot hate his character, but he is holding the team back. There is so much we can't do because of his limitations. It just is what it is
