Even after watching him at OU for 2 years, I'm still amazed at his quickness and athleticism.

Re: ** Offical Blake Griffin vs Trailblazers thread**

kid is playing like a star but he still is not even close yet to his ceiling.. he needs to blockout better on D and if he does that he will have 20+ rebounds... i am loving watching Bradford and Blake both ball out!! great to be a sooner fan

Clips on a horrible cold spell on both ends. :facepalm

Blake needs to work on blocking out on defense.

He has struggled after sitting on the bench for a while. He's seems to be struggling to get back in the flow of the game.

Blake is showing his frustration for non-calls. He will get a T, if he's not careful.
