I remember last year’s Bulls-Bucks playoff series like it was only yesterday. Coming back from 0-3 to win two games, Bayless hitting a buzzer beater, MCW making Rose into his personal buttslave for a game, Bulls fans panicking, it was all good. I knew that we weren’t going to win the series but, for the…

Michael Carter-Williams 24 Points Full Highlights (12/18/2015)
Michael Carter-Williams is now shooting a very efficient (for him) 44 percent from the field. Great! So why do I get annoyed every time he tries to score the ball? For one thing, his jumper, despite some promising signs of improvement last year, is the brickiest thing I’ve ever seen. It’s just as likely to…

In my last Michael Carter-Williams video, I commented on the fact that his jumper was totally borked, an uncontrollable mess of flailing limbs that was just as likely to bank in as it was to airball. Good news! Looks like someone told him to shoot it better/different, because it doesn’t look AS screwed up anymore….

Going into the game with the Philadelphia 76ers, the one thing I didn’t want Michael Carter-Williams to do was get a big head and decide to show everyone in Philly why they should never have traded him. Turns out that’s exactly what he wanted to do. “Oh look Nerlens, just me and my new friends,…

Someone please get Michael Carter-Williams a good shooting coach over the offseason. Please. I don’t want to be forced to endure his out-of-control heaves for any longer than I already have. He doesn’t have any touch at all on his J. An unintentional banked jumper should happen at most once a year for an NBA…

The big question of Michael Carter-Williams’ career up to now: was he bad because of his horrible situation or was he in a horrible situation made worse because of his badness? We are closer to figuring out the answer, now that he has been traded to a non-dumpster-fire Bucks team. The early returns on our…

10 out of 26 may seem like a bad shooting night, but in the context of Michael Carter-Williams’ shooting efficiency this year, it’s positively average! Man, these goalposts are just moving all over the place. What we should be impressed with is that MCW managed to get 7 assists while only committing 3 turnovers. How’s…

You have to feel for Michael Carter-Williams. He has been forced into a role that is way too big for him, and he’s paying the price as his reputation plummets. The 76ers have no one else other than Wroten who can even pretend to dribble the ball, and with Wroten injured all the time Carter-Williams…

I sometimes feel like Michael Carter-Williams gets too much flak. Yeah, he’s not perfect, he isn’t a great shooter and turns it over too much, but look at his team. There isn’t a player in the league whose stats wouldn’t be negatively affected by this tank brigade. I think this is a fair criticism of…

It was a hell of a ride, friends. But all good things must come to an end. In retrospect, I probably shouldn’t have burned all my Bucks stuff, including that vintage autographed Moncrief jersey. And getting Michael Carter-Williams’ face tattooed on my back was a bad idea. But what’s done is done. You can’t change…
