The Blake Griffin hate on here is full blown. People are discrediting his athleticism now?

We have yet to see a healthy Blake Griffin in the playoffs though..[/quote]he looked healthy to me[/quote]

He had a high ankle sprain in the playoffs and knee issues the year before.

Shame on you

what offensive skills? the dude can't even take advantage of Small Forwards guarding him.

dunking is cool and fun to watch. its not "offensive skills"

 

[don ramon]

Chuck just a better speaking and funnier version of Magic, I ain't taking none of that brother's analysis seriously

he doesn't speak very well tho

like at all

Production, production production. If it was all about athleticism then DJ would be doing what BG has been doing throughout their short careers thus far.

It isn't about just athleticism. My point is that you all are underrating blake's skills as an offensive player.

Dj is a liability due to his atrocious ft shooting, if dj atleast had blakes ft% cp3 would look for him more often

 

[wavycrocket]

Blake Griffin's athleticism is an anomaly. Few players ever have had the physical gifts he does. That's why people expect so much from him.

If Zach Randolph can average 20/10 just off offensive skill and hustle, what should Griffin be doing?

Idk why people on here penalize guys based on their athleticism. Blake impacts the game with his athleticism. Things like running the floor, rebounding, scoring, and setting pics are attributes of athleticism. I really don't understand what you expect.if you think he's going to aberage 30 & 15 just off his athletic gifts alone, the. then You might want ro temper your expectations.

Hes actually improved incrementaly every year. The problem is you guys listen to guys like Chuck, who have unrealistic expectations. Every player has faults, yall still act like all he does is dunk. Smh

That's a bigger indictment on Magic.

DeAndre did a pretty good job on Cousins in the preseason. We'll see if it continues tomorrow.

So demarcus cousins.for all his "skill, he can't crack 45 percent from the field. And still produces less thann griffin. But its pretty when he does it.

Look what he's putting up though. He's not scoring all of his points off dunks b a career 20 and 10 guy thus far. Not all off dunks. You not really watching if you honestly think that.

Dj is a liability due to his atrocious ft shooting, if dj atleast had blakes ft% cp3 would look for him more often

Welp, we won't know that for sure because of his atrocious ft shooting. So we can't assume that.

We comparing him to Magic though who barely has a handle on the English language

he had 20pts 7reb in 19 minutes. 18 of those minutes head to head with Diandre

They only discredit blake because he goes about his production in a much more basic and less pretty way. I'm not saying Blake is perfect and is awesome, but there's something to be said about someone who's 20 and 10. That can't be off of purely athleticism.

You can teach skill, you cant teach athleticism, if you're unblockable and can finish at the rim at a high lvl like blake working on your skills would make you the best at your position, but i guess ppl are fine with where hes at

barkley is from alabama, which is just as detrimental to his speech patterns, but different
