iframe Griffin scores 47

Clippers have beat the lakers and the heat in the last week and have won 5 in a row at home!

Yep. Bam!!! 2 of my buddies were @ the Clipper vs. Laker game last night - very close seats to the floor (very good seats - they got hooked up thru the L.A. Times w/ a buddy) They said "you have got to see Griffin up close & live! He is simply an amazing & dominating player!"

Now - this is from 2 die-hard Laker fans. They came away from the game true believers in Griffin. A power to be reckoned with. Hope he stays injury free.

Al Jefferson filled a hole left by a 20 and 10 Carlos Boozer and has filled in those numbers. That example doesn't really work.
well, you've obviously got your opinion about Griffin.
Yep, I think he's great for a rookie, great for a team like the Clippers, and would be a good role player on any team in the league. I think he has the potential to be very good and will get there with time, but he will find that athleticism isn't everything in the NBA and his game will improve and become multi-dimensional.

Totally agree, about him getting better. Here's what I like so much about him, his motor is 10X the size of most NBA players. Like I said earlier, I've never seen anyone hustle game to game more than this kid. Sure, he's got athleticism written all over him, but I love the way he scraps and hustles like it's the last 5 minutes of the NBA finals every stinking night.

You know you're ahead of schedule when someone like Al Jefferson says this about you.

"Man I was so happy when he fouled out. I've never been so excited about anything in my entire life".

And I think the jazz lose that game at the ESA if Blake doesn't foul before 2 OTs. The Jazz bigs couldn't keep up him.

Anyway, I like what you said Schmoe, he's only going to get better.

Blake scores 31 and gets 13 boards. Clips beat spurs. 6 straight games with 20 points and 13 boards.

I saw that his team lost when they played the Jazz. If you're the best player on the Detroit Lions, that's not saying much. Same thing applies here.
I guess following this logic, BYU football players just suck and will continue to do so because they lost to the likes of USU, AF, and aren't playing for TCU this year.
Maybe you don't follow the NBA, but the Clippers have been bad forever, I'm not basing this on one season. And, especially on a basketball team, someone is going to get the stats. So it makes sense that the one decent player on the Clippers with freakish athletic ability is going to be their go-to guy, which will inflate his stats because they have no one else who can score. I never said anything about individual losses, but mentioned historically bad teams, maybe that will help you understand my "logic" that you so woefully misapplied. You think that he'd have anywhere near the same stats if he played for the Heat, Lakers, Jazz, etc.? Same thing goes for Kevin Love.

I agree that his stats might be inflated because he pulls a lot of the load for his team, but he'd be starting on any team in the NBA right now. And yes, I do think that his stats would be similar to what he's putting up right now on any other team.

Here's a convenient example. Al Jefferson. Came from an equally bad timberwolves team. Once again your logic says his stats should plummet when he gets to utah, compared to last years terrible twolves team, his ppg is down .3 a game and his rebounding is down .6. And don't even put Griffin on the same level as k. love. Love plays with a ton of heart, but his potential is nothing compared to Griffin.

And yes, you did say something about individual losses. My comments about "your logic" came after your comment about how the Jazz beat Griffin. That was an individual loss. I understand everything your saying, I don't buy it all, but I know what your driving at. All I'm saying is that from the small sample (1/4 season) we have to analyze, the sky is the limit for Blake G. He's no Greg Oden.
