Utah/L.A. game
that lob from blake to deadre... blake has improved his handles, he looks very fluid leading a brake
MAN, this game is fun, lob city... just like that the clippers are back from a 13 point deficit.
deadre jordan is playing with the best defensive awareness i have ever seen him play
and blake griffin is special. but how can someone with such motor on offense and rebounds be so careless on defense?... its kind of pathetic to watch his effort running the court and his will to make a defensive play.
jamaal crawford was a great addition to the LAC. another alley oop threat who can provide some scoring/ playmaking in the clutch when it all comes down to chris paul cus blake isn't a reliable ISO scorer...
and talking about blake's ISO scoring, i must say, his post game is underrated by some, its not like he is the biggest threat in the block but he can be fed (and he wants to be fed) and he will score regardless if its using athleticism or not. he actually has some post moves and displays good footwork... he needs to polish his simple turn around hook shot more than anything. and jeremy evans is an athlete to me. no inside touch, post game, outside shot. i need to see more of him
it was the play drawn up.
he wasn't jacking up shots... the coach wanted to isolate him... and he came thru.
they just isolated again him for the fourth straight possession and he had to be doubled which created an open three for the clippers.
chris paul's gonna need that help in the clutch
i wanna add how good blake's passing was, he showed nice court vision all game, he's a very good passer outta the post.
and kanter's post moves.... nice. he scored on a couple spin moves that were very nice. then he had a couple of 'up and unders' that got blocked but he looked very comfortable and relaxed pulling those off as opposed to mechanical. his footwork was impressive
This Utah L.A. game is crazy. Yes it preseason but there have been some unbelievable plays. It is the start of the 4th quarter. Jeremy Evans put on a 3 possession highlight real that included one of the nasties dunks that I have seen in a while, Blake Griffin has put on a show with some remarkable plays, CP3 has been CP3, Lob City is in full effect, both teams angry, playing tough with a lot of effort, and very entertaining. Kanter also looked good - wish Favors would have played.
Preview of the season for the entire the league? It should be awesome.
