Greggulator Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 The two back-to-back Blake dunks in the second quarter... oh my lord.Also, Blake Griffin IS SO FRIGGIN' GOOD. I soured on the guy for a bit because he (and CP3) are a bit whiny. But he has put it together -- just a total monster right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I don't really watch much basketball at all but when Blake Griffin dunks show up on the highlights I have to watch. There's just something about his style that's undeniably amazing to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cole Miner Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Question now is who scores more by games end. Griffin or the Sixers. Down 54 now. One of the worst performances by a pro team I have ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_MJ_ Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I get a perverse pleasure out of watching NBA blowouts. I don't have time to watch this one, but I may have to track it down later. "For reference, the biggest blowout in NBA history is 68 points." -Daily Dime Update I don't think they'll get it. Clippers will pack it in during the 4th quarter.

mco543 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 The 6ers are shooting 15% from the floor. FIFTEEN FUCKING PERCENT. I don't think I've ever seen this before. 15% from the floor and 5% from 3 is absurd, a good college team could perform better than that just based purely on luck. The +/- for the starters on both clubs is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure that one college coaches wife could do better the 15% from floor just from the head fakes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgundy LaRue Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I haven't touched a basketball since gym class in high school. I could shoot better than 15%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie M. Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Blake has been pretty special since CP3 went down. If they're going to go anywhere, he has to be their best player. Chris Paul is always going to run into a tough PG matchup in the West. When Blake is on, there's no one in the league that he doesn't have an advantage over at his position.

RandomAct Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Am I the only one that thinks that Wiggins is only the 4th or 5th best guy in this year's draft? I agree with Bill and Jalen, in that he needs another year of fine tuning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 You could say just about every guy who is a top pick needs another year to get ready, just doesn't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with Bill and Jalen, in that he needs another year of fine tuning. Bill and Jalen are full of shit. Has staying an extra year ever helped a projected lottery pick? Wiggins (and Embiid) can get paid to develop their game in the NBA next year. And I say that as a Jayhawk fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuetsar Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Everyone of the kids could probably benefit from another year of school, but unless they are a complete moron, the players are paying attention to Marcus Smart's year(not just the shoving incident, all of it). Get your money and run while you can. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomAct Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Of course everyone could benefit from it, but I was comparing Wiggins relative to guys like Parker, Smart and Embiid. All of those guys look NBA ready to me, aside from a few inexperience related weaknesses. Wiggins was built up to be this game changing guy like Lebron, and I don't see it yet.

Jrag Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I think Wiggins game will translate better to the pros than the rest of these guys. More room to capitalize on his unmatched athleticism. If he gets with the right coach he will be a two way star pretty damn quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supremebve Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Staying in college another year for anyone who will be a lottery pick is fucking stupid. There is no reason whatsoever to do something for free when you can get paid for it. You won't get better playing against lesser competition, and there are plenty of people who will get something out of you staying in school for an extra year, but you won't be one of them. Go get paid, become a better player, and stop being exploited, or stay in school, don't get paid, and listen to people praise you for making poor life decisions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Yup. You can always go back for a degree if your career doesn't pan out, and now you'll be able to afford it without the scholarship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should let him do a live podcast as that game is going on. Letting him and Jalen interview random people walking by would make that game 10,000% more interesting. Who is going to be the best player in the game? Is Gasol even playing? They should let Russell Simmons do commentary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
