horrid second half. This team has some talent, but they play like doodoo.

Re: **Offical Blake Griffin vs the Dallas Mavericks Thread**

so Clippers look like they're about to lose 3 straight and Blake is a rebound away from a double double.

Couple of random notes, Blake took it to the hoop and was grabbed by Haywood to prevent the make. Didn't knock him off his feet but Haywood just reached out and grabbed his arm, making no attempt at the ball. I think that is going to be a common theme for Blake.

Also he picked up his first technical of his career, appeared to be frustrated at his team giving up an offensive board and threw his hands up. Refs gave him a technical.

Blake finishes with

16 points (4-15 FG, 8-12 FT) 9 rebounds (4 offensive,) 2 steals, 32 minutes

Clippers lose 99-83.

Sidenote, must've felt like an early season OU game for Blake beside the loss.

Half empty arena and parents watching him play in person.

***Official Blake Griffin and Willie Warren vs the Spurs Thread***

Last Blake game on the free league pass for now, (654 Clippers feed or 655 Spurs Feed)

Blake has 3 points already and we're not even 2 minutes fully into the game.


Also Eric Bledsole is starting over Barron Davis.

Re: ***Official Blake Griffin vs the Spurs Thread***

Blake just schooled some random Brazillan rookie on a sweet spin move, proving why he has to be double teamed.

Re: ***Official Blake Griffin vs the Spurs Thread***

Blake Griffin with 9 points (4-6 FG, 1-5 FT) 3 rebounds, 1 assist and a charge taken.

Spurs aren't doubling him much yet and he is taking advantage, old Antonio McDyess (sp) tried to cover him 1v1 and Blake blew by him like he was in cement shoes for an easily slam.

26-26 after 1.

Re: ***Official Blake Griffin vs the Spurs Thread***

He also rubbed off on Kaman when he had that sweet reverse lay up.

Re: ***Official Blake Griffin vs the Spurs Thread***

ww remembered where to get the ball on that break.

 

[Sam]

Re: ***Official Blake Griffin vs the Spurs Thread***

This might be the most remarkable thing I have seen this year.

Willie Warren has drawn a charge on Tony Parker, tipped a ball out of bounds by jumping a passing lane, stripped another ball leading to a jump ball and lead the fastbreak dropping a dime to Blake. Wowzers.

Blake's stats at the half.
13 points (6-9 FG, 1-5 FT), 5 rebounds, 1 assist through 20 minutes

50-44 Spurs at the half.

I'm surprised that WW is getting some playing time. I thought he was only going to be on the practice squad. I hope he continues to make the most of his opportunity.

I think he was battling a groin injury all preseason but I am not 100% sure on that.

Baron Davis and Randy Foye are both out of with injuries then Eric Gordon and Eric Bledsole has 3 fouls each in the second quarter. In some ways it was by default.

Re: ***Official Blake Griffin and Willie Warren vs the Spurs Thread***

Blake with 15 points (6-12 FG, 3-7 FT), 7 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 block through 33 minutes played and three quarters.

Willie hasn't played this quarter

Spurs 75-66.

Re: ***Official Blake Griffin and Willie Warren vs the Spurs Thread***

Clippers doing an absolutely horrible job of feeding Blake.
Crucial point of the game and Blake sits on the bench for the first 4 minutes of the fourth.

That may be but you have to make the most of you chances. Hopefully WW has learned that and will give it his best effort. It is a job now and you have to treat it like that. Look at Randy Moss for what not to do at the office.

Re: ***Official Blake Griffin and Willie Warren vs the Spurs Thread***

when you have blake telling kaman where he's suppose to be on offense, you know it's going to be a long season.

I think forcing 3 TOs and getting an assist in 3 minutes is a good way to get some more PT.
