There is nothing like the winter, and coming home from work. It gets dark early, and you have a basketball game to watch. My favorite time of the year.
I love you Kobe. Take your time get right.

I find this to be 100% true.
He's been good ever since he signed with the Lakers, a team that doesn't really have anyone at the moment

Good to see Blake Griffin worked on absolutely nothing this off season.
I am sure he worked really hard on all those commercials.
((((Not true, he had a nice haircut.

So after watching the preseason and last night's game, I am more inclined to lean towards IWMTB's prediction now.
The Clips will make the playoffs but will be a low seed as no one on the Clips can play a lick of D and Doc can only do so much with disinterested players.
It's time to blow it up. Trade Bust Griffin for picks this year before it's too late and people figure out that he's more interested in media endorsements than in bettering his game.
His dino arms don't help as well.
Dumbandre is still dumb and this CP3 is not the 2008 beast.
Sigh.

wtf the laker won last night. Your suppose to tank god damn it.
Oh well it was against the clipper
Oh well it was against the clipper
Now this? Is an over reaction.
All they need to do is trade Griffin while his stock is high.

lol. I'd love to have an 18/8/4 "bust"
He's probably not Second team All-NBA, but he's still a damn good basketball player.

Agreed
The heat have his chain, that's just a fact.
Not saying Rose isn't good or anything, he's clearly a beast, but I'm starting to wonder how much of the Bulls' success is basically just Thibs. They are a better team with Rose, but the team seems to operate the same way with or without him.

Clips are Knicks west.
They'll blow teams out in the regular season but won't win a meaningful playoff series.
And Doc is overrated. It was clear that Thibs was responsible for the defensive DNA that got them their chip, but I at least thought Docs motivational abilities were at least half as important to the teams success, but fast forward a few years and he couldn't stop his team from imploding off the court. He couldn't even get Ainge to make meaningful decisions based on the amount of trade leaks that were going around.
Then before the season even starts he just barely manages to keep Sterling from hitting him with a trap card.
Read this last year. It makes sense if your client is irresponsible with money. PEACE.

This was awkward.
Letterman: “The Knicks are the equivalent of the Yankees.”
Barkley: “…No.”
Letterman: “But this is a big big basketball town!”
Barkley: “And if you want to see really good basketball, drive over to Brooklyn.”
Letterman: “…Well…Alright…”

Cause he knows this means when he comes back and starts staring at dudes til they give him the ball, or leaking shit to the media about their moms/wives/gfs/sisters to get them to lose focus so he can ball hog, its gonna be look bad for the first time in a while.
@Dy, hey b, we gonna get in dat ass tonight. We beat the spurs in preason like that shit was easy.

Dude shut the fuck up with your over analysis. It's one fucking game. This ain't football.

Is there really that much difference between Griffin and, say, David Lee? Other than the fact that Lee is a better rebounder? And yet nobody would consider a team with Lee as it's 2nd best player a true contender. The Clippers are probably better than we saw last night, and in the grand scheme of things better than the lakers, but much like Blake they are frauds. You can't win a title with a front court that plays no D and is dumb as rocks. You can't win a title with DeAndre Jordan as perhaps your third best player. This team will he fighting for that 4/5 spot all season long and could be one and done and it wouldn't surprise anyone.
It's mad early in the season (it can't get earlier than this, actually), but Clippers fans should be worried that Griffin hasn't made any progress. He's in his 4th year in the league (5th, had he not missed a whole season) and he's turning 25 this season. He's seemingly leveled out, or worse, regressed.
I don't know, maybe that's just the perception and/or narrative, but for a three-time All-Star? He's not really the best PF in the league.

He is gonna be part of a trade that brings Kevin Love to the clippers.

Warriors rebound better when Lee's off the court. http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/9363701/an-offseason-plan-golden-state-warriors#footnote7
That might actually make their frontcourt even worse defensively.

If I was a Clippers fan, I'd be fine with Griffin. It would be nice if he improves more, but that's not their biggest issue. Their biggest issue if DAJ and their backup bigs, in general. You can't really play DAJ in the 4th and there's no one behind him to use.
As bad as Odom was on offense last year, he could still theoretically make FTs, didn't clog the lane, and plays solid man defense. Now their backup option is Ryan Lollins.
Its like the difference between a PS4 and a Xbone.
I don't get this stat
He's overhyped and is basically an average PF

Didn't you know? J.R Smith and his brother can win a championship!
Wow, that was great. The network really shows how much it loves the NBA, and for the first time since the NBA was on NBC, I think the Nba has found its television home.
