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.

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      I think the book has been fairly written on Darnold, and by and large stays true. He can be rattled by pressure, and will lose his composure. If a team can get to him and have something go wrong in the plan, the mistakes and errors will pile up. Rams have a better offense, Seahawks sport a better defense. Should be a good 1.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Not a defense of him...an understanding of the problem. (something you seem to be lacking right now) 🙄 Bryce in a Canales offense is not an example of a stylistic mismatch, but I can give you one if that helps. When he was playing for the Panthers, Cam Newton sat under OC's running Coryell type offenses. Newton had a big arm and was a strong runner. He fit into that sort of attack very well. Then he goes to New England, where at the time they were running an Earhardt-Perkins system (similar to WCO In a lot of what they do but very different terminology). The Patriot offenses back then were heavily based on timing and rhythm style passing, not something that Newton was especially well suited for. So he washed out at New England, not because he had poor ability (his abilities had been on display here on a regular basis) but because he didn't fit what they wanted to do with their offense. I always go back to Jeff Garcia as one of the prime examples of this issue. Garcia in a WCO looked like a world beater. Put him in any other scheme though...yikes!  So again, Young's issues here have nothing to do with any failure to mesh with Canales. Hell, is say Canales has actually done pretty well at adapting his system to who he has rather than trying to jam square pegs into round holes. Again, it doesn't take an elite level of football knowledge to get this. It's pretty basic. But if you're not even capable of understanding what the real problem is, how are you going to know you to find the right solution? 🤔
