We need to win by 20+ points 2night vs Phoenix... Especially how we've been playing sloppy lately.... Get that groove back, from our 17 game winning streak...
Grant Hill getting an early call with the Clips down 21 to 13. Clips look confused. Blake having an anemic first quarter with 2 TO's and 0-4 FTs. Odom completely airballs a short jumper. Dragic and Gortat are the best players in the game so far.
Somebody better step it up. I guess that should be Crawford and Barnes.
Bled turnover, Blake misses a dunk, defense is half-assed, the anemia continues. 28 points at the halfway point in quarter 2, 6 missed freethrows, 32% shooting
As one of the Fickle fans of basketball, anger about Clippers playing badly, will be totally forgotten if they come back and win big going away..! The old saying " what have you done for me lately"..?
Lets check that out.... Blake is the 21st best PF in the league in rebounds/48. Lamar Odom is better. That's not impressive. Or, as Barkley says, "Blake isn't asserting his dominance".

it's not important to some, but Griffin does draw a double team, and even on defense they always double him out from the basket drawing away defenders... when a shot goes up, and Odom and Griffin both with lanes to the hoop, which player do you think they will body out..? Griffin..! When they focus on keeping Griffin off the boards, every other Clipper gets more rebounds. When they don't focus on keeping Griffin off the boards... Griffin get 10 + rebounds.. That is if you care or are watching what happens.
Griffin is the best rebounder, and opposing teams focus on keeping a body on him and off the boards.

...I think you may be delusional.
In any case, Kevin Love gets his rebounds just fine, and did so when he was the only good rebounder on his team.
My biased Clippers eyes keep telling me the refs are Suns friendly; but after those late fist half tech's on Clippers , my biased eyes might be accurate and not deceiving me.. ! The calls sure don't seem to be going our way..!
Sooner, I respect your comments about Griffin, but he's not the same rebounder this season.... He's not going for the boards aggresively like in years past..

Maybe true, and I'm delusional like all NBA coach's who say these things about " Body Griffin off the boards" which people informed should know. Is not calling other delusional for opinion which is not liked a sign of personal insecurity...? yes..! Some one didn't get enough love when he was little...!
My biased Clippers eyes keep telling me the refs are Suns friendly; but after those late fist half tech's on Clippers , my biased eyes might be accurate and not deceiving me.. ! The calls sure don't seem to be going our way..!
This is a game where calls shouldn't matter. We should be running away with this game.
Sooner, I respect your comments about Griffin, but he's not the same rebounder this season.... He's not going for the boards aggresively like in years past..
One could say that from the #'s, if what I did say, was not true.. You play Griffin at Center, and #'s would improve. But if you watch the game, they focus on having at least one player with body on Griffin, and some times even 2 or 3 when ball goes up on a shot.. Of course my opinion and predictions as always so wrong...58 win season and a championship for Clippers prediction... I am surprised I am not laughed off the board...!
More fodder for the humiliation of Sooner;.... He actually believes that Ref's think Griffin is a bully, and even could be a dirty player. Being less aggressive, and more passive at times is a slow way to change ref's opinions.. Although I don't like it, to see Griffin with only 1 to 3 fouls a game. Griffin being aggressive and fouling out games, is what I'm used to, and what I like and what Clippers fans like. But Griffin needs to have a good reputation with ref''s, and not get all these " double technical " calls, with ref's thinking he is dirty..
what it is worth, I do believe he is on his best behavior, even at risk of less aggression and rebounds. Which I also believe is instructions from coach's.. don't foul or give ref's cause for tech's... There are a lot of things which are going on in games, people do not comprehend or believe there is a reason. Griffin has focused on improving his team and personal defense, without fouling or appearing as a dirty player, which he has succeeded at the cost of rebounds. IMO
Yeah, sure, Griffin is the only guy in the league that other coaches tell their players to body off the boards. Uh huhhh.
Maybe he's just a weakling then.
As to game play and a must do on list of all coach's,,,,Yes he is..! Griffin's best games in rebounds are against other good rebounders, who play him one on one..

No worries, we have Bled to do the hard work of rebounding. He now has 6 boards to Blakes 4 and DJ's 3.
And you really don't think how they play against Griffin in blocking him out and DJ, doesn't effect Bledsoe's rebounding , Barnes and Butlers rebound's... Bledsoe is just the best rebounding guard in league, going and getting to hoop not bodied out, amazing.... It is a team game.

I think Butler will get the first point.
Griffin will be under. (He'll sit the fourth).
