Who u talkin bout? Who is yo team?

And Blake w/o Dribbler amd DJ is a top 5 player imo.
D.J. not no top 5 nothing. Dude literally got no in between in his game. BBIQ isn't there, can't shoot, can't dribble, weak defending PnR. Dude is a freakish athlete who runs the PNR well, blocks shots, has good rebounding instincts and great rebounding skills and limited in clutch situations due to the hackashaq

Griffin is like Love. They got mad offensive game but defensively their weak and they laterally are weak players. He changes defensive philosophy because of his weaknesses. I love Redikk and Paul. Those two are underrated but Jordan and Griffin ain't all that.

Statistically Blake is one of the best post defenders in the league. Or he was last yr. He has potential to be a much better defender w/ better coaching. And I was saying Blake would be a top 5 player away from CP and DJ. Whenever CP is out, Blake puts up crazy stats. Amd DJ just clogs shyt up for Blake.

Post defender stat? Ain't the same stat Bargnani fans use to tout. Stop it son, it's not good indicator of good defense. Okafor has some of the best post defense in the association and by all accounts, he's a horrible defensive player.

Blake problem is just that, he's iso driven, yeah, he's a special offensive talent so it works to a degree but not if you trying to win a title much less get pass GS or San Antonio this season.

Blake is not Iso driven, thats bs. Blake can run an offense. The Clippers force isos on him. Smarten up :ufdup:

Blake is also a damn good perimeter dedender on switches.

What combination of players do the Lakers have to give up to get Hezonja from the Magic? I'd make everybody available. :noah:

Who ya team n1gga :damn:

Blake is good w/ potential to be great. And a legit superstar.
I think Blake is who he is. No matter where he plays. It's not like he is this amazing team player held back by his teammates. That couldn't be further from the truth.

He's a #1 option on offense. He's a great scorer. He's athletic and commands double teams but defensively he's weak and he needs a lot of help compared to your decent defensive PF.

I always called him the Vince Carter of PF and that still stands true. Then again I have seen improvement especially in terms of his BBIQ so I will say you might be on to the fact that maybe just maybe he could play in a system but I have my doubts.

Blake has improved every year and is also an underrated passer and shooter he will also get rebounds and is efficient....He isn't a star on defense but his defense (rim protecting)but is more than passable....Hes a legit superstar level player.....And the best PF in the league to me hands down...In fact if he had full reigns of a team he'd put up 26 and 10 easy....

I honestly don't think he that great. I wouldn't trade one of our all star bigs for him. His defense ain't shyt and he's not much of an off ball threat. He's good for stats tho. With that said, I don't see LA trading him.

you wouldn't but the actual team and ownership would trade each of them and than some for a chance at Blake.....Blake is a tier above both Milsap and Horford....And most importantly he makes money for a team and will likely bring more fans out....

Dude, I am going to be honest with you. I don't think you understand the game of Basketball at all. Like all of your opinions are kinda shytty. You looking at surface stats when their is way more to the game than that especially with a team like Atlanta. You can't quantify the shyt Horford brings and compare it to stats. Millsap is a much better team player than Griffin. I think we all can agree, offensively they have a similar skill-set with Griffin being far more talented but even then Sap, you gotta play winning Basketball or you just end up like Kevin Love. Honestly man, I cringe at your post b.
