I was listening to the Dennis and Callahan show on WEEI this morning and they were saying that kg hurt his shoulder, and at one point was holding his shoulder and grimicing while he was on the bench. I didn't see this happen, but I remember a few times at the end of the game KG was going up with one arm to try and rebound and Jeff Van Gundy even pointed it out.

Also in game 1 when kg lost the ball 2 times going up for a wide open layup, barley able to bring his arm(s] over his head. It makes me think that there really is something wrong with his shoulder.

Anyone else hear anything about this?

I saw him on the bench grabbing his shoulder, I was wondering what that was about.

That'd explain some of his struggles.

I hope its not true, because we aren't going to have time for him to heal.

It would explain specifically what is wrong with his game and why he looks so unsure of himself offensively.

Some people think otherwise but his legs look okay to me. Sprinting and jumping decent.

Are we going to dissect everytime someone rubs himself?

His struggles, whatever they may be, are not because of this shoulder.

Well, that would certainly explain kg's lackluster series so far..

Poor defense, abysmal shooting, mediocre rebounding.

I have trouble believing the celtics won in LA without kg playing effectively.

I don't know if they win the series if kg is really hurt. LA is an outstanding tram and gasol is having a field day down low.

Does anyone know anything concrete on a possible injury for kg.

He was going up with one arm trying to rebound, especially at the end of the game. Not trying to make excuses for his play,  I think there likely is something wrong with his shoulder.

Well he dominated the Cleveland series and they have physical post players like LA. Not as dominant and Gasol and Bynum but still. He looks completely different. What is your explanation?

I dont know about his shoulder but I bet he is having to jump more off one leg due to a sore knee. I have had that problem and it takes away your explosiveness. People say he is still jumping well but at times he has hardly been able to dunk so I dont know but he is very obviously hurt.

TP.  A lot of KG's mistakes are lack of confidence and concentration.

I would not doubt there is something wrong with his left shoulder and he was rubbing it and grimacing while on the bench. This definitely would explain why he was playing volleyball with rebounds most of the night and using only his right arm. Have to hope that it is just a bruise or stinger and not something serious.

So how do you explain his going for rebounds many times with only his right arm?

Plausible explanation. We won't find out until after the season if it's true or not.
