Starting To Think Blake Griffin Overrated

[jjgold]

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.

[Wrigley]

Id take Kevin Love over him any day, Plus Blake shoots about 52% from the FT line

[Sportsbetting123]

Let's see how he does when it really counts. I would take Love over him too

[jjgold]

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

[InTheDrink]

Please don't compare Noah to rodman

Did you not watch the playoffs last year?

[fsfalcons]

totally agree

[darkhat]

I agree def..

[Smoke]

Griffin over noah

[Grits n' Gravy]

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.

[paco]

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.

[Ghenghis Kahn]

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

[marcoloco]

dont hate on lob city.... check out #5

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!

[King Mayan]

Gold, Put down the weed and stop thinking so much..

[PS3]

Why just realize this now?
Aldridge over him all day

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

[face]

those phoenix guys are just really tall and shut griffin down. against other teams he is fine

[dlunc3]

absolutely overrated

[Reedeman]

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

[jsmithj88]

the dude is another dwight howard
except howard is an elite defender
not sure y clippers wouldnt trade griffin for howard, i would do that in a second

[Grits n' Gravy]

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

[bleek88]

Take it easy on the guy, he' s still fresh in the league, he'll develop into a very good player.

[Wrigley]

Love and Aldridge matchup tonight will be fun to watch

[WalkingLuckCharm]

Take it easy on the guy, he' s still fresh in the league, he'll develop into a very good player.

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.

nice comparison

[will2survive]

Griffin has a high upside. He's a kid. Give him time

[paco]

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 with a 40 point game

[CMNoney]

Love with a 40 point game

He destroyed Aldridge all night.

[teaserpleaser]

His jump shot has come a long way from his sooner days but yes he can improve if you watch clipper games his mid range jumper is getting knocked down alot

Kenyon Martin sorry ass has a better mid range jumper than Blake
