BasterdInABasketParticipantbeen watching for about 5 minutes and Griffin already has two huge dunks – one an ally oop – and a quick cut to the basket. His knee looks 100% but it might not even be…that scary

IndianaBasketballParticipantBlake Griffin is better than Lamarcus Aldridge RIGHT now. All he needs to do is stay healthy. He’s more active in the first part of this game than Aldridge has been in his entire career.

OhCanada-ParticipantI turned to the game and as soon as I hit the channel and I mean the absolute first play I got to see Blakes first basket. This guy is gonna be something else if he stays healthy. Like a super explosive super active Carlos Boozer.

his post moves are ugly right now, it seems like they keep getting worse, and worse.

IndianaBasketballParticipantPeople need to throw the Kenyon Martin comparisons away in regard to Griffin.
Martin NEVER had feet and hands like this. He never got to the ball this quickly. You can just see that Griffin is going to be a very good offensive player.

Kinguy11ParticipantI’ve just finished watching the first quarter and Griffin now has 3 hightlight reel plays and 9 points and 5 rebounds overall. The only reason they are losing at the end of this quarter is because they’ve given away some easy 3-pointers and have missed some easy 3-pointer.

mgreener_34ParticipantFirst time I’v watched Griffen play, only one quarter in and he’s now one of my favorite players. On another note, its sorta sad to see Griffen playing, and right at the end of the bench you have Oden. Not playing as usual

ChrispyParticipantI can’t believe I’m actually going to have FUN at Clippers games this year!!! Since switching coasts they have been my loveable loser underdogs to root for instead of the LA Kobes. Griffin looks great. I can’t speak for you guys, but I forgot not just how explosive he is but how quick he is as well. Ooh! And he just stroked a J from 17 as I’m typing!

Gordon went off in the third, after that tech.
I think the Blazers will win this game though. The Clippers don’t have a finisher.

You see what I mean? Look at the Clippers’ last few possessions… They have no closer. This is the usual for them. They give games away in the 4th quarter. Bad shots. Turnovers. Missed assisgnments on D. This is what they do.

llperezthey went to kaman and kaman didnt deliver. BUt some of those were strong shots that didnt drop and no one else was acting like they wanted the ball other then griffin. Making gestures and dropping his head and raising his hands after each time his teammates miss a shot isnt gonna endear a rookie to his teammates. Im not making a big deal out of it, just pointing somehting out.

stanford hoopsClippers are more exciting but seems like the same ole clippers. Defense was soso.
Lost at home to a team playing the second of back to backs
Like the people calling the game said., they have zero help at sf
Even with Blake and Eric playing well they still lose by double figures or close
Kaman missed shots but so did lamarcus so that evens out

I think there are a lot of positives to take from this game though. The Clippers are going to be improved this season. Maybe they can finish .500.

ChrischiParticipantYeah, but Jordan isn’t a starter who has basically no offense. I like him as a an energy guy and his stats for 9min are impressive, but they just drafted an SF at the 8th position. I would start Butler to spread the floor and bring Aminu and Jordan as energy guys of the bench until Aminu is ready to start.

Blake Griffin is good, but I compare him to Amar’e Stoudemire with Gerald Wallace motor.

Mr. 19134ParticipantI’m tired of people saying Jordan aint ready
How isn’t he? And how do you know this do you see him in practice?
Jordan played ten minutes and had 3 blocks and went one for one and more importantly looks like the natural compliment to Blake. Jordan, Gordon, Blake, B Diddy, and Aminu and is a hell of a lot of athleticism comin at ya.
Kamen for Iggy let’s start the rumors again its a great trade for both teams.
Iggy inserted between Blake and Gordon is a match made in heaven he will compliment these two developing superstars perfectly.
And yes let’s not give Blake all the hype because Eric Gordon is on his way to becoming a superstar also. He is one of the most athletic guards in the league and also one of the best shooting guards. Thats a very rare combination and he had a few monster plays himself.

Mr. 19134ParticipantI’m tired of people saying Jordan aint ready
How isn’t he? And how do you know this do you see him in practice?
Jordan played ten minutes and had 3 blocks and went one for one and more importantly looks like the natural compliment to Blake. Jordan, Gordon, Blake, B Diddy, and Aminu and is a hell of a lot of athleticism comin at ya.
Kamen for Iggy let’s start the rumors again its a great trade for both teams.

omphalosParticipantOne thing I noticed about Griffin is that he struggles somewhat to create his own shot; granted it is his first game, but most of his points came off put-backs, he had to work really hard to get his points. I’d like to see him improve his mid-range J and moves off the dribble – that one spin move he did is a flash of what he can be though, it was superb.
Roy was solid again, but I can see how he gets frustrated with Miller, in the Andre was dominating the ball a bit too much for my liking in the second half and it killed Roy’s rhythm a bit. Portland are playing extremely well though, it was an impressive win on the road against an energised Clippers team. Batum is shooting the lights out from deep and same can be said for Fernandez. Wes Matthews was being a bit ambitious in my opinion, he needs to take a step back and not force bad shots. That said, if Aldridge plays more like he did in the second half from now on Portland have a chance at a top four seed in the West.

dye84Participantit was weird watchin a clippers game when they arent playin ur team but man if davis can stop ignoring griffin and get him more touches he can dominate, he starts the game off with an alley oop and i believe he had 9 and 5 in the first quarter, he is the real deal

mj23mj23besteverParticipanti knew he was gonna be explosive getting monster dunks but he dropped a few very sick passes which i didnt know he had in his arsenal and i think jordan could be a servicable starter ive said it before they could trade kaman they actually tried to get melo with kaman being the center piece imagine melo and griff as the forwards wow

IndianaBasketballParticipant@Mr. 19134
I’m a big DeAndre Jordan supporter, but how is he a better natural compliment to Griffin than Kaman is?
Griffin isn’t ready to carry the offensive scoring load in the front court… That’s why Kaman is the better compliment (or vice versa). IF they were to start Jordan, that front court would have nobody that could create their own shot consistently. Jordan can’t at all and Griffin isn’t consistent creating his own offense YET.
Jordan isn’t ready. People get excited about the same things he’s shown for three seasons. That he can run, jump, dunk and block shots. People don’t see the defensive rotations that he misses… Or the missed assignments. Or how he isn’t in the right spots when he’s supposed to be. How he gets confused offensively. He doesn’t have a very high IQ and makes mental mistakes. He’s not ready to the point where you trade away your All-Star center.
And @omphalos
I think we need to give Gordon some credit for killing Roy’s rhythm in the second half as well.

PureshooterParticipantHe reminds me of a young Karl Malone in build and athleticism, although he probably has better springs than Malone ever did.

omphalosParticipant@IndianaBasketball; that’s a good point, when Roy did get the ball Gordon defended him well, Eric really picked up his intensity on both ends in the second half. That said, Roy was money to end the 1st and 2nd quarter, his range is ridiculous.

stanford hoopsEvery year it seems I have to go through this
Deandre Jordan is not a starter.a lil Bit of production doesn’t make him a starter. His defense of IQ is low. He’s not a real good defender. Don’t just think blocking shots think not fouling the guy and moving you’re feet. His offense is bad unless it’s a alley and he’s know to miss some of thoses. There’s a reason he doesn’t get many minutes. He’s not that skilled. He’s not in a jarred bayless situation because bayless showed his skill with time although he’s also inconsistant. Jordan is consistant. Consistantly bad or just below average with a ok game here or there
Can anyone honestly say he’s gotten better in three years?
