NBA: Name the most Valuable players for these NBA teams...

[hyhy]

I thought that the spurs looked worse when manu and duncan sat out compared to the games where kawhi sat out

[Raven]

Dallas - dirk
Chicago - pau
Raptors - derozan
Spurs - green
Suns - dragič
Clippers - blake
Lakers - sacre

[Raven]

It's a good list, but Griffin is just slightly more valuable then CP3 at this point. As for the Lakers, I think Ed Davis followed by Lin (When he's allowed to run the offense) are the two most valuable players IMO.

Do you watch Clippers games? I assume not. Griffin has regressed. He doesn't fight for rebounds as much and his efficiency has taken a hit, both categories are down. His role has changed to be fair, as much blame Paul gets, Blake hasn't really stepped up to the challenge.

Griffin is terrific, but he's always going to be limited defensively because he lacks natural length. that's where my doubts lie.

on the other end the defender is usual just at Blake's mercy

IMO, Blake's back injury from this summer that kept him out of Team USA is more serious than anyone was letting on. You can tell he looks uncomfortable and is lacking explosiveness.

Still, a healthy Blake is easily the most valuable player on the team. Choke Paul, on the other hand, is replaceable.

Yeah, I really doubt that. The narrative of Paul choking is severely overblown in this forum. Any Clipper fan would tell you otherwise. This has been an ongoing discussion for years in the TB forum tbh.

He's not being used properly. That's why he's struggling offensively. Gentry did a great job utilizing Griffin but that doesn't really excuse his lack of effort on the defensive end to a point where he looks like David Lee with more hops out there. His rebounding effort deserves no excuse.


I dont like how Blake and Doc are absolutely infallible, but everything wrong with the Clippers is because of CP3 which absolutely ridiculous. CP3's not perfect, but he's the lease of the many problems, porous defense being a bigger issue. Everyone on this team who plays big minutes is playing below par. Im actually being generous by putting Griffin above CP3 at the moment, but as far as individual play, CP3 has played better than Blake so far.
