Can Anybody Explain Blake Griffins regression? Dude isnt taking over like he did last year
Bad patch in muttleticism, lack of confidence and Doc isn't using him properly. They either have him playing like a SF (he can't shoot from the outside consistently and again lack of confidence in shot) or they give him the ball too deep on the low block (T-Rex nikkas don't survive down there).

But in saying that, the Clippers have a top 5 offense with him helping Paul run the show with high post touches (he's averaging 5 assists a game, way more than any other big man in the league), which is helping stretch the floor and he more often than not makes the right decision when it comes to facilitating - he relies on instinct - problem is, he second guesses himself far too much when it comes to actually shooting the ball.

All in all, it looks like to me he's saving himself for the postseason.

but you're winning more games than you ever have in your franchise history under him.:why:

Whenever somebody prefaces a comment with "no offense" or "nothing against _____ but" then proceeds to diss that person. It doesn't lessen the disrespect :dead:

Basically KD wanted to support a bruva because many feel that Mark Jackson got screwed over by management

And those two can't score like Lillard. His range opens up the floor for everybody else too. Eight point deficits turn into one point leads in a minute with that guy.

I'll give you the defense argument, but really, none of these guys are stopping one another.
All of those top point guards have their strengths and weaknesses, it's all a matter of preferences. I'm just stating why no one should be all up in arms if someone doesn't have Lillard as top 5. The top 8 are all so crazy talented and bunch together that it's not necessarily slighting Lillard saying he's not top 5. They are all neck and neck with each other.

1st Round Playoff Exits
no one said anything about a title lock, even tho it's looking very possible we make it to the finals as long as we stay healthy

you said that the hawks don't have the talent to beat teams with superstar household MVP names, and that simply isn't true as we have been proving all season
I mean seriously the Hawks are heartless the way the force turnovers on teams that are efficient at not turning the ball over :mindblown: I gotta see what they're going to the 76ers next time they meet :damn:
