Blake Griffin

[Solid D]

Bake the man a pie. Freakishly excellent player.

That's all.

[ace3g]

he already has 12 pts 11 boards, game currently in the 2nd quarter

[Solid D]

Yes, and the plays he is making are of the athletic variety. Pinning Sam Young's layup. Alley-oops. Follow one-handers. Physical. The whole package.

[timvp]

Sounds like the Spurs should have drafted Griffin rather than McClinton.

Fire Pop.

[Solid D]

:lol or Bonner, Finley and Marcus Williams straight up for him.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Incredibly sick player. :tu

[Halberto]

He'll always be that Sooner that looks like Donkey Kong

[jag]

*waits for Finley and Bonner trade package proposal*

[FromWayDowntown]

*waits for Finley and Bonner trade package proposal*

You have to at least add Javtokas or Gist to make that a reasonable offer.

[celldweller]

To bad he's trapped in Clipper Land.

[Ariel]

*waits for Finley and Bonner trade package proposal*
Sorry, but looks like you were already beaten to the punch:

:lol or Bonner, Finley and Marcus Williams straight up for him.

[DPG21920]

Boozer with a work ethic?

[angelbelow]

I'd rather Thabeet and his 0 points. Thanks.

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

The Clippers will undoubtedly find a way to screw up.

[kromediablo]

This Blake is like the white version of Lebron. Well at least the half white half black version.

[Erick_CSF]

The Clippers will undoubtedly find a way to screw up.

Might be old news, but I heard on 1250am radio today in a quick news alert that the clippers are trying to make a bid for Iverson. :nope That will kill Mr.Griffin's debut year huh!!:downspin:

[angelbelow]

I posted this in the other thread, but what do you guys think about Joey Dorsey, hes putting up some impressive stats too.

He belongs to Houston, doesn't he?

[angelbelow]

He belongs to Houston, doesn't he?

Yup =/

[symple19]

You people need to stop and recognize that this dude plays for the Clips. They'll find a way to ruin him. I agree that he has a lot of skills but his jumper doesn't go far enough out and he doesn't have many moves with his back to the basket. He "out-physicals"(if I may) people more than anything else. The Litmus test will be when he's being guarded by the likes of Boozer/Garnett/Stoudamire etc. I still don't understand why everyone gets so worked up about summer league stuff. Blake Griffin is certainly an athletic freak, but the jury is still out on whether he's an "NBA basketball" freak. LOL if AI ends up in Clipperland, hogging the ball and whining when Griffin gets more attention. And by the way, Blake gets my vote for one of the ugliest dudes in the league. Even Dikembe thinks he's ugly. Finally, I'd like to be the first to say that he looks like he either juices or, more likely, takes HGH. Have you seen dudes head?? Something unnatural about the way he looks, and I should know, I'm a San Fran Giants fan. :-P

Relevance?

You're saying he's an athletic freak who relies on his gifts to score? That type of player almost never evolves over his career to become a solid/dominant NBA player. Nope. Never.

And congrats on bringing up some of the softest man to man defenders in the league.

:rollin

[FkLA]

he'll be a solid player, not a star though.

[mudyez]

yeah, it should be a lot of fun beeing a big man, in a Baron/AI run offense...I'm sure he will have something like 20 touches a game...all of them beeing offensive rebounds

[peskypesky]

Sounds like the Spurs should have drafted Griffin rather than McClinton.

:lmao

[peskypesky]

he'll have a career like all the other great players who get drafted by the Clippers and are named Rookie of the Year.

[peskypesky]

...and if you know your Spurs history, you'll know what I'm talking about.

[symple19]

The looks thing is an aside. Go back to what I said about his back to the basket game and lack of a decent jumper. Garnett is a questionable 1 v 1 defender? I'll give you Amare but Boozer is solid. How about him against Timmy? My general point is that before you go baking pies and slobbering all over him, let's see him in some NBA games, against starting caliber talent

[oligarchy]

Hopefully he doesn't get the Clippers curse and get some major knee injury

[coyotes_geek]

he'll have a career like all the other great players who get drafted by the Clippers and are named Rookie of the Year.

Terry Cummings???

[anakha]

I'll give you Amare but Boozer is solid.

You just lost the argument there.

[clubalien]

Fire Pop.

While I totally agree with your later point. I don't think the spurs ever had a chance to get that pick. Do you think the cavs trade the top pick knowing it is lebron. I don't think so.

Really the only way we could have had the pick was to get it before the nba knew what players were in draft and then it was a risk and not based on that player.


I guess we could have tanked the season so we could have drafted the first pick SO i guess you do have a point. Sorry that is why you run this website have great insights. carry on the firing of pop for not tanking the season for the top draft pick

[symple19]

You just lost the argument there.
what argument?? have you made a point??? I watched blake quite a few times in college. He really was never challenged physically and could just jump over people to do what needed to be done, dunking/rebounding/blocking shots. He also played in a sub-par conference, the big-12. He won't be able to do this in the NBA. So make a point, or are you philipinos just sticking together? The fact is that people are once again making snap judgements based on a few summer league games.

The Spurs didn't need to tank the season. A trade package of Bonner, Finley and a couple of draft picks could have gotten that pick. The Spurs are stupid.

[in2deep]

it's summer league. everyone relax

[Duncanoypi]

Trivia question: (without using google or any SE):

Who was the ONLY draft pick of LA Clippers to play in All-Star Game?

[coyotes_geek]

Danny Manning???

[Extra Stout]

Summarizing the thread:

Imagine this lineup the Spurs would have if they weren't stupid:
Tony Parker
Manu Ginobili
LeBron James
Tim Duncan
Blake Griffin

Bench:
DeJuan Blair
Terry Cummings
Jack McClinton
Danny Manning

That would be awesome and beat the Lakers for sure! Dammit Holt is cheap.

Also, Blake Griffin's future ACL tear will be the Spurs' fault because they didn't move up to pick him.

[clubalien]

extra, I think you might have taken some words out of context. Like I never said a wise latina women would play better than Jack mcclinton

Only after the NBA allowed chest thumps and baby crawls as legitimate defensive moves did KG become above average.

And you're right, becoming excited about a players performance, and possibly using those performances to extrapolate future performance, is all wrong! We should only evaluate him based on what he does when he steps on an NBA court. Why...this could revolutionize scouting!

[L.I.T]

you philipinos just sticking together?

Metro Manila is pretty crowded.

Oh, dear Lord. :lmao

This has to be the biggest case of missing the point I've ever seen.

And you hiding under the 'Oh, you're just banding together against me 'cause you're Filipinos' stance is even funnier.

[bishopospurs]

...and if you know your Spurs history, you'll know what I'm talking about.
My first thought was Reggie Williams, then I thought it might be Danny Ferry, no that couldn't be it, is it that we just signed Antonio McDyess, oh yeah Terry Cummings.

Maybe you are implying we should trade for Tyson Chandler or sign Chris Wilcox. How bout we trade for Chris Kaman?

At least they drafted Craig Hodges and Manute Bol, sorry they managed to mess up drafting Bol because he wasn't draft eligible. Poor poor Clips

[Vito Corleone]

Two pages into this thread and no one has stated the obvious.

OU Sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Calavera]

griffin is sick, maybe even too sick for the Clippers :) I can`t see him there in a long run.

[anjlbitz]

There's a Filipino bonding party here and I wasn't invited? damn.

somebody say something about filipinos!?!?!

A filipino bonding party?

Wow, that's a lot of smegma in one place.

[TDMVPDPOY]

blake = bonner + scablerine .....

[superbigtime]

He's lookin good, no doubt.

[peskypesky]

what's looking good is that ass in your signature. hot damn.
