Amare had a wet ass jumper though.

Amare was a special offensive PF. He was excellent at the face-up, the PnR, the PnP, and explosive. That was one of the most talented offensive players I'd seen in my life at PF. He could do it all. Too bad he lost his athleticism to injuries. His BBIQ was good as a PF. He knew how to play his position, didn't know much about everyone but still, he was special.

Blake is no Amare. Blake can be unstoppable on offense but he doesn't really lead to championship ball if he's the man or not.

Him and Kevin Love are this gen's Derrick Coleman and Vince Carter.

The CP3 game winner was the difference in this whole series.

We stop that layup and Clippers are one game away from scouting draft picks.

CP3 deserves some of the blame, I think Blake would be much better with a PG that had a score first mentality, like he'd really thrive with Kyrie or Steph as opposed to someone like CP3. He needs the true threat of the PG coming off that pick and firing it up without much hesitation to draw attention off him. Plus, they don't run enough iso sets for him where he gets the ball on the wing like he did as a rookie.

OK, well please explain why blake's rebounding has been :trash: this season? that has NOTHING to do with CP3.

Yup. I been saying for years, Amare disappointed me because he never developed any back to the basket game or footwork, but at least he added a really good jumper. We have to wait and see if Blake even adds that, if nothing else.

I thought his rebound rate was up, but turns out that's been dropping since his rookie year. I have no explaination for that other than rebounding is effort, and he's clearly not giving much on the boards.

Nah, his handle seems shakey as hell compared to his rookie year when he was constantly taking people off the dribble.

He is trying to make quick decisions is more of the reason. I seen this with VC. When you force him to make quick decisions, it negatively impacts his game. He is ball dominate. He likes to hold the ball and think things through. He is not a reactionary player.

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 :scusthov:



Found it, 32 seconds....unreal first step for someone 6"10 250lbs.

lol thats the funniest thing i've heard all day

Breh, I watched numerous Clipper games before CP3. Griffin was unstoppable at times. He has a nice skill-set when you let him dominate the ball. Nice passer out of the block. Can post up, face up, beat you off the dribble with ease, extremely hard to defend.

Amare would dunk on anyone as well. Amare was impossible to defend. He would drop 30 at ease and Phoenix had a great offense but Amare made them crazy good. His issue was he didn't create anything for others but you could use him at Center and PF.

His only skills are dunking and flopping. Like an awful combination of kemp and vlade.

:dead: at the visual but that's an insult to kemp and vlade both of them could post up and score on the block. blake is a one trick pony is a very neat trick but the novelty is starting to wear off. he needs work on his first step/ handles off the triple threat, (not like he gonna be dribbling and running the offense)

then he also needs to learn how to post up while keeping the ball above his shoulders and use his pivot foot to either face up triple threat one two dribbles and go ham/baby Hook. or make a turnaround bank shot with either hand without facing up. Just basically watch alot of kevin Mchale/ Tim duncan/ Moses Malone/ Hakeem tapes. those are beginner moves compared to these elite post players.
