    Starting To Think Blake Griffin Overrated

    A guy like Noah of the Bull has 10x more impact on the game

    Blake just cannot do much and Clippers not a threat to go anywhere

    No kidding


    Except Noah might be a bad comparison considering he did absolute dik in the playoffs last year. Hard to respect anyone who gets busy in reg season but sucks it up in the playoffs.

    Yes Love is great

    But I am telling you boys the Bulls are so fukkin good because Noah has a lot of impact on a game

    He is a fukkin nut and causes chaos like Rodman in a weird way

    He gets by off pure athleticism right now. If in 2 years he still has no low post game or jump shot it will be fair to call him overrated.

    Not a fan of Love's game. He's strictly a stat guy.

    Grits, love is a great ft shooter, 3pt shooter, rebounds, and can hit the mid range. 20-20 guy all day. Blake is just good for espn highlights. Love has Duncan potential, Blake has nothing

    Love is below average on d and has little to offer in low post. To me he is a food stamp Dirk. Just my opinion though.

    you guys are fooling yourselves. without griffin, other players would have never signed with the clips. he's just getting started, don't be so wishy-washy. he just needs to work on fts and learn to find open shooters when he gets double teamed...

    LOL, thats a pretty funny comparison. Blake is like any of the other young stars that came into the league relying on athleticism to propel them into fandom. His defense is miserable and his shooting is below average. If he works on fundamentals then he may one day become a hall of famer like the duncans and nowitzkis.

    Every young stud gets calls and free passes from the refs when they first come into the league, its how those players work on their skills after the spotlight has passed to stay as a consistent stud like Kobe, Dirk, etc.

    If I had to pick the best PF this season, I wouldn't pick Love or Blake considering Love has got no interior defense and despite his stats doesn't affect the bottom line. My money would be on LaMarcus Aldridge as best PF, maybe Gasol

    True. He needs to work on other aspect of his game. Like free throws and jump shots. Once his athleticism is gone, he's gonna be washed up.

    LaMarcus is proven at getting points near the end of the game when they are needed the most even when double teamed. That dude is Clutch!

    I agree with you on Aldridge as one of/the best PF this year, but maybe Gasol??? Not a shot

    he dunks. and he.... embarrasses himself @ the FT line.
    he'll get better obviously but right now he seems like a lot of espn hype and an incessantly annoying commercial spot.
    what pisses me off about him is that he wouldn't be getting away with coming down the middle with his outrageous dunks if this were the late 80's-early 90's nba. he'd be hospitalized

    If Cousins ever got mature he'd be one of the best pf's in league. Unfortunately he looks to be Derrick Coleman Jr.

    Especially with a shortened season which he doesn't seem fit for yet. His play style is so explosive it doesn't help either. When he learns the proper post game he will be great. He also has CP3 which will guide him the right way.
