Your sig sums that trade up extremely well.

I think ball teacher touched on this probably several hundred times, but his shooting form got drastically worse than it was at Kentucky, and is just now starting to get back to where it was, and better than it was in Kentucky.

That looks way better than it did last year

Dang, really? I've seen just about every interview and I don't recall him ever saying that. Would be pretty damn awesome if its true. Seems like it definitely would have been plastered all over these boards by now though.

It would be a weird thing to false report. You would think we would have heard more about it already.

We most definitely would have heard more about it. Im not putting much faith in it to be honest. I don't put much faith in those qcsportsreport guys and bringbackthebuz boys to be honest.

why would jordan undermine mark price like that? makes no sense. i could see MJ taking the time to work with MKGs overall offense, maybe work with him on his post game, pump fakes, triple-threat, but i cant see him working on his jumpshot form.

I highly doubt Price had any problem with this. If anything, Price was probably there with Jordan.

Also, if I had to pick someone to help MKG get the reconstruction project underway, Michael Jordan is a good place to start. Boosts his confidence for the tough work the rest of the offseason

Last thing we need to give Clifford is another excuse to not play Biz.


If Clifford play Kendrick Perkins over Bismack Biyombo, then it's time to face the fact that as long as Clifford is head coach that Biyombo will never be a integral part of the rotation. I'd accept it if the trade could be pulled off. However, I don't see the Thunder making any trades as they come off as too complacent over the last couple years to me

Clifford would probably never let it happen, but MKG at the 4 in some small lineups could be pretty successful. Especially if we played up tempo in those lineups. But that's another thing we'll never see from Clifford.


I wouldn't say 'never'. Clifford stated that he was keeping everything very simple & basic the first season. I look forward to seeing how Clifford expand his rotations & schemes into year two. I'm hoping MKG has a vital role that allow him to play at or over 30 minutes a night

I probably shouldn't have used the word never. That is too strong. I do agree that it will be very interesting to see if Clifford is more flexible in year 2 after already having his system in place.

I was playing 2k14 online yesterday and this guy was playing with the Bobcats and drained 4 threes with MKG. I think it's a sign. MKG is turning into Kevin Durant.
