Re: Blake Dunk

That is ridiculous. Wow.
 
Re: Blake Dunk

Unreal. He'll be all over Sportscenter this year.
 
Re: Blake Dunk

That was filthy. I feel sorry for the other PF's out west

Blake did not play tonight due to a (gulp) ankle injury, but it appears to be very minor.

Willie Warren got his first playing time of the pre-season tonight, going 0-2 from the field with a steal in 6 minutes.
 
Re: Blake Dunk

Was watching the NBA Roundtable last night on ESPN, one guy said Blake was bringing something the NBA that the league hadn't seen in a while, a complete PF.

He's not complete yet. He still plays matador defense. He is much like Amare in the way he plays, though hopefully he will continue to get better on the defensive end.

I was just repeating what they said last night. I think "pundits" are more blown away by what they are seeing on the highlight reels than taking a look at his total game. Either way, I love it...would be nice to have a guy with OU ties be one of the top players in the league.
 
Re: Blake Dunk

Blake has several flaws to work on (consistent jump shot, polished post moves, free throw shooting and man defense), but he is further along as a rookie than most PFs that have come into the league since maybe Duncan. He is efficient, athletic, an instinctual rebounder, has a non stop motor and is a good help defender.

This always cracks me up when it comes to professional athletes getting paid millions of dollars...trying hard and giving effort is actually perceived as something more than a "given".

I member them not thinking his knee was that bad either last year.
 
Re: All things Blake Griffin thread

The report I read said he rolled it at the start of the game vs the jazz and played on it anyway.
