  • The good ole days.
....when he isn't set and squared up or and least was set and able to dictate his turnaround shot (that gets squared up)... i've seen him take more jumpers while dribbling/drifting left or towards the basket recently than ever in his career, and they don't seem to go in too often...

You mean our 7 foot tall PF can't hit off balance jumpers? Shocking development.

it's just an observation, from seeing more and more of them not fall.... perhaps a partial explanation for his drop to below 48% shooting after 4 straight above 52% with the C's?

I don't agree with this at all, KG is a great jump shooter.

Is it just me, or did he seemed a bit gassed at times in the 2nd half?

Perhaps Doc can rest him for a couple of games...maybe after LA?

No one is arguing that here.

At the start of the season, he was indeed missing his jump-shot, mainly due to his legs not being up to it. He's been improving it, and I think he just might be starting to shoot threes as well!

Underhanded tactic to get people to read the thread.
