Blake Griffen is the best player in LA

[Hack Wilson - real]

and it's not even close

and it's not even close

this guy lacks so much fundamental skills, its not even funny.


he has a bit better foot work than dwight, better touch for sure.


but his post game is just laughable, its funny how dude struggles to do simple up and under moves. every time he posts up, all he does is get the same exact shot he first started out with.

look at his highlights if im wrong.

his fundamentals have improved tenfold this year. his postgame is a lot better now and he scores at awesome efficiency, with or without a star pg

[Hack Wilson - real]

he's carrying them without cp3

[LooN3y]

i never said he wasnt doing good.


but what constitutes being the best player?

does it matter of having skills and talents and basketball IQ? or does it matter of just putting up numbers.


him having a star PG isn't relevant, dude was still putting up numbers before CP3 came to the clips, the only difference is that they're winning now, and they have a deep team to hold the fort till CP3 comes back

but there sbeena couple games where they really miss the dude.


but regardless, you think these guys are gonna survive in the playoffs with just blake leading the team? especially when the game starts slowing down? post game is going to be emphasized a bit more.


and before even CP3 came, like the grizzlies i was positive they were going to eventually grab playoff positions.


but best player in LA? no i dont give him that yet.


but dont get me wrong, he did improve, but theres much more ahead of him. ive seen his post play, its embarrassing, CP3 has better post play than he does. i've seen this guy blow simple up and unders and do pointless post moves that doesnt get him a better position or better look at the basket.


hes improving but best player? no not yet.

Players like CP3 and kobe an change a whole culture of a franchise, (coming from a guy that doesnt like CP3's game, but i pay dues where its deserved)


CP3 Improved greatly, after that injury, he worked on his post and his outside shooting (the shooting i never thought he'd be that consistent but he proved me wrong) the only thing about CP3 is he chokes and gives up every single time in the playoffs.


but blakey got a bit more left before he suprasses cp3 and kobe.


those two, if you put them in any team, they will help succeed, blake he needs to be in a team that fits him because of his lack of fundamentals.


he improved yes, but he aint the best player in LA i don tkno wwhat your sniffing, ive seen games where they desperately needed blake.

and to say hes not with out a star PG? he has a deeper team, one of the deepest teams in the league. its expected for him to get those numbers and win games.


say baron davis was out, all they had was what eric gordon to run point? and a garbage back up PG?  with al thonton and such? nah they aint winning games, but id still bet blake will linger around a triple double.


dont let his efficiency fool you, his pointless post moves only work, if he jucks higher and just lays it up off the glass, he doesnt get a better look at the basket at all.all he's doing is just laying it over the other player.

shit aint gonna fly in the playoffs.

Over his last 10, he's put up 24.9/8/5.2

I didn't think Blake would actually step his game up without CP, but he proved me wrong. Now, if he can play this way when Paul comes back, the team would be a threat to the OKC's and San Antonio's.

Blake has a shot at being an MVP in the next 5 years....will he?  i doubt it but he's going to try.  He's only getting better lately too.

It's odd that his rebounding is down over the last 10, but a lot of that has to do with DeAndre grabbing anything that misses nowadays. DeAndre is a fucking beast this year. Clips are on a whole different level this year and they ARE a threat to OKC and San Antonio, and it's for reasons beyond just Griffin's improvement.

Kobe was playing on another level last year for the entire season before the injury, but obviously we haven't seen that Kobe again and it's possible we may never see that form of Kobe ever again. It's not completely out of line to put Griffin above him at this point.

CP3 is a harder of an argument to make, but Clippers have still been good in his absence and that hurts CP3's case. I'd still give a slight edge to CP3 only because I would trust him to dominate a key game more than I'd trust Griffin, but it's really close.

Top 6 teams in the west IMO are:

OKC
Portland
San Antonio
Golden State
Clippers
Houston

in that order...only 3 of em can make it out the west IMO and they're okc, portland and san antonio.. and maybe just maybe golden state if the splash brothers get it going, but I doubt they make it out of the second round this year. I also predict a first round exit for Houston and a second round exit for the Clippers.

lol@"Griffen".. He stepped his game up, but still not the best player in LA

Portland has a better shot than the Clips or Rockets?  I disagree...although Portland could snatch homecourt vs either of those two
