The game winning double bouncer for the three. Bledsoe with a triple double.

Yeah watched the game and he was amazing. Although he was lucky to make the last 3 pointer the Clips and Blake deserved to win the game.

Bledsoe with a triple double.

insane game for bledsoe as well. 27 points, 16 assists, and 11 boards, 2 blocks, 2 steals? ridiculous

Blake's winning shot reminded me a bit of Wayman Tisdale's winning shot against Karl Malone and Louisiana Tech in the 1985 NCAA Sweet 16. Granted Blake's shot would have needed three more bounces to be a direct comparison, but they were similar to me in that after the initial bounce, I did not see any way either shot was going down.

I'm not sure why Blake's rebounding numbers are so down, but guessing it's the scheme in which he plays outside the paint more. His shooting range is obviously way up compared to early on in his career. Regardless, it looks like 5 NBA years and 5 NBA All-Star games for the 2009 Naismith winner.

They are mainly down because he has the leading rebounder in the NBA right beside him. When your teammate pulls down 14 a game it will lower your chances. He does need to rebound more on the offensive end.

1) DeAndre Jordan is a "rebound cannibal," as the guys at FiveThirtyEight put it.

2) Doc Rivers doesn't believe in crashing the boards. He prefers his guys get back on defense in order to limit opponents' opportunities in transition. That's why Doc's teams are usually near the bottom of the league in offensive rebounding rate.

i remember that game. We were all wondering who this Mailman guy was. We sure found out. Those teams had a habit of shooting down the big guns. Remember when we played Keith Lee?
