I like my women tall
He was always a post player with elite agility, footwork, and BBIQ. Hakeem post moves and reactions became more refine but he always had the skill-set to develop that style of game. This is as bad as Hawks fans trying to convince me that Josh Smith needs to be more like Shawn Kemp when he had small hands which pretty much mean there was no way he could be the next Kemp or Amare. Add weak handles and it's all day. Malone ain't really nothing like Blake. Malone was a system player. He was a movement specialist who read angles really well excelled at the PnR, PnP, and cutting and hitting 15th to 18th feet jumpers. If Malone didn't have an elite PnR PG or even a decent one, he would be Al Horford in Atlanta. His style of Basketball needs very good to elite BBIQ and being excellent at off ball movement which Griffin clearly doesn't do. You trying to square peg the boy into something he is not capable of.
Griffin has quickness when he has proven he can score on you in the low post than anything. Griffin game is more similar to Z-Bo with the exception that Z-bo has a lot more moves and skill while Griffin is more talent driven and explosive.
Amare had the fastest first step from a big that I have ever seen, Griffin may jump higher but he wasn't close to Amare athletically. That move he hit Duncan with, ball faked, jab stepped then went around Timothy like he wasn't even there had me like
Found it, 32 seconds....unreal first step for someone 6"10 250lbs.

It's okay, breh ... Amare can't hurt Timmy anymore
In a vacuum, Paul and Blake would work just like Paul and West did. All they did together in NO was run a a slow-motion pick n roll, allowing West to get to his spot and go to work one on one. People have found out since leaving NO, that Paul creating for West was always overstated
Its the team around them that doesn't mesh. Paul needs other perimeter players who can create while Blake needs low usage shooters. CP3 being ball-dominate to the point that it forces others to just stand and watch him is a flat out lie. Whenever his squad loses in the playoffs his numbers are always like this....high turnovers, low assist, low fga/low usage. His usage drops like a rock when his squads get bounced from the playoff.
Blake is just not that good in a low usage/finisher role. Not nearly active enough off the ball. As hard as he plays overall, there's a clear lack of energy in how he operates offensively...very similar to Bosh in Miami. He just floats out there. And like Bosh was in T.Dot, he's a iso scorer. Go back and watch the Finals last year, Bosh completely remade his game. He basically mirrored Boston era KG...constant activity, rarely held the ball and was ready to set screens whenever the ball got stuck on the perimeter. Blake would be WAY more productive if he played like this but that ain't his game.
They'll be a more dangerous team when they give Blake more responsibility in the half-court.

David West is a movement specialist breh. West was very good at movement and still is and will always be. David West issue is he isn't that athletic whereas Griffin is uber athletic. Different type of players.
Like Bosh, Griffin has to change his game up but the issue is, with CP3 being so ball dominate and Griffin not being much of a stretch player, Griffin is kind of limited and what he could do.

who's supposed to be this gen's coleman?
the only DC comparison in this era is cousins.

Burnin' & Lootin'
K-Love with those empty stats. He doesn't even change the dynamic of the Wolves. Tryin to do knuckle-pushups, he dun fukked his career off with that bullshyt. He only played like what 6-10 games this season?
yeah like 18 man
i think he'll bounce back next season try to stay healthy n shyt hes a sick player but injury prone
Blake will be ok once he gets in the gym and learns a real post game. Z-bo just has his number but he still has all the potential in the world. He just needs that one move and a counter that he can rely on in the post.

Countdown to Armageddon
Blake's midrange game >>>>>>>>> Harden's mid-range game.
How does that make him a better basketball player
Blake has no case over James. You jus hate the guy for some odd reason

I don't hate him at all. I don't respect his game, but I certainly don't hate him or have an agenda against him. What makes Harden a better player?
