Report: Torn Meniscus Knocks Clippers All-Star Blake Griffin Out Of Olympics

 

[Dilltastic VolWon(derful)]

Not a real big fan of the team pretty much being a jump shooting team. All it takes is one game where everyone gets cold.

 

[The War Report]

Once Blakes loses his athleticism, he's pretty much done.

lol at this 5 that played during the game:
Bron
Durant
Love
Davis
Chandler
That might have been the tallest 5 ever.
-But, damn Stern hooked the Hornets up with a superstar.
-Iggy was on fire, hopefully he keeps it up and isn't a fluke type of performance from the 3 point line, even though it might be, but its shorter so it shouldn't be a problem. Lets see if this squad can win by at least 50 the next game, even though its an exhibition, but for the fukk of it

Didn't one of the all-star games have a lineup of Yao/KG/Duncan/Dirk/Amare?

Come on, beating this team by 25? So Scottie thinks this team is only 7 pts better than Croatia?

That thinking doesn't work.

Using that logic, the 2008 team beat Spain by 10. The 92 team is definitely 10 points better than Spain.

I ain't sure which one, but it was either the 05 or 07 all star game if I remember correctly. I think KG was playing the point forward, and was hella good at playing that during his Wolves days, especially when he was MVP

Well one year, there was a line up of 4 of them, I remember that.

i know the dream team was legendary but these old nikkas act like that squad was 11 bball gods beat this 2012 by 25?!

 

[OG Talk]

Davis will probably end up being a better fit for this team...The transition game will be less entertaining but they will be able to protect the rim much better..
