I just heard mvp chants when Blake was at the line, scary. First time clippers fans have ever done that I bet.

Re: Blake Griffin vs the Jazz thread, on nbatv!

do you chant MVP at your house when Blake's at the line?

 

[Sam]

Re: Blake Griffin vs the Jazz thread, on nbatv!

Well 20 straight double doubles. Unbelievable.

Romulus, no I don't but nice joke.

I chant it all game every game.

Clippers being the Clippers and gave this one away.
Blake has 25 and 11 with about 5 minutes to go.

Uh oh, Blake just came down holding his left knee.
Hopefully he didn't aggravate something.

Edit: Looks like he just knocked knees with a teammate.

Blake swishes a three.

Final line, 30 points, 12 boards, 2 assists.

i held my breath as well until he took of full steam to get back on offense.

i am a little worried about the hitch he's developing on his free throw.

It's not like his free throw shooting could get any worse...

Sam, if you would put the same effort into your studies, as you do to obsessing over Blake, you would be a straight A student...:woot

It's not like his free throw shooting could get any worse...

But if he was hitting 80% of his free throws his average jumps from 20ppg to 23ppg and he moves from 19 in the league to 12th, just .3 behind Dwayne Wade...

I am very surprised he is so awful at the line, he has a pretty nice stroke...maybe he should start taking jump shots from the line because he seems uncomfortable shooting flat footed...that's a joke BTW...

he just needs to find his own rythm and be consistent in his routine, sounds easy, but once you establish something like that at the line you are comfortable with and start seeing success the ball just seems to drop...

They NEVER started double-teaming Al Jefferson and he tore them to shreds all night.. Al is a crafty offensive player and he took DeAndre Jordan (who had an otherwise great night) to school.

Blake Griffin is "next" per ESPN mag

The basketball candidate for their next series

Re: Blake Griffin is "next" per ESPN mag

Blake is MY hero because he does all of this with the same humility and "aww shucks"ism that he had at Oklahoma. Plus, he's a good teammate.

Re: Blake Griffin is "next" per ESPN mag

What is so admirable about Blake is his work ethic. Unlike, maybe a Jayhawk, whoooooo is awesome , could be better if he spent any time working out. Pierce has not bulked up any since he left for the pro ranks.

Re: Blake Griffin is "next" per ESPN mag

ESPN informs me of all my opinions before I have to do any painful thinking of my own. I would like another "Who's Now?" contest because I don't know who is now. Or what it means to be now.
