Ladies and gentlemen, your Los Angeles Clippers, otherwise known as the sports equivalent to Meg Griffin. For years, SoCal’s desecrated and shunned franchise have occupied the same arena as the Lakers. While Kobe’s gang gets to play with the Staples Center pitch black with all the lights focusing on the court, Michael Olowokandi’s original franchise is forced to operate with the lights on in an arena that resembles more of an open gym than pro basketball. Well, the jokes are over – for now – because the Clip Show has a man whose complete and utter disregard for NBA rims will make even the most diehard fan have Tracae Ellis Ross eyes. That man is second year rookie Blake Griffin.
Last night, Kevin Durant had one of his rare “off games” versus the Clippers. So much so that everyone’s new favorite superstar was forced to take a backseat to the machine that is Griffin. The first dunk was pedestrian by Blake’s standards, but the follow up was ill because spinning off a defender, elevating from one leg to throw it down with authority isn’t exactly a wide open layup. Throughout the season, I’ll be keeping track of B.G.’s assaults on rims nationwide. Why? For one, people love dunks.
And two, by season’s end, the guy might be known as a top three Clipper ever and well on his way to becoming the second best basketball #32 Los Angeles has ever seen.
Let’s play catch up, this was from his very first regular season game a few days ago.


This guy is going to be a serious problem.
My dude looks like he’s moving half-speed out there too….like he’s in an intramural game or something. Ridiculous.
Only thing wrong with BG…..he plays for the clippers. That team is jinxed! Look at all the talent thats gone through there…… and where are they now?
RUN BLAKE RUN!!!!!!!
And I used to play for the Clippers back in the day…… hell we all could have!
Green should’ve taken Kristic’s cue and moved thefuckouttathaway
Clippers fans are gonna need to put cubicle walls in their rooms for all the posters he’s finna put up
am i the only one that isnt completely sold on KD?
BG won’t have a chance to “shine” until they get rid of Baron Davis. Baron (didn’t play last night), but from the games I”ve seen this year he still thinks the team is his when he has two beast in the post.
BG is good and he will be. Would like to see a little more confidence in the post and not that “Chris Bosh” look on offense.
KG has been “off” all year. Shooting under 40% from the field and under 30% from 3. I think people put too much stock in their series with LAL last year. This is the NBA not the NFL. Teams don’t go from not winning a playoff series to the final game in a year. They are the “hunted” now. I keep saying this tho.

@Grime Probably
Throw some acrobatics and just a little more flare and we got ourselves an uncontested Dunk Contest King. I’m still boycotting 2011 Dunk Contest though.
Wow. That’s how you score your first point. Laughing at the “in two seasons…top 3 Clipper ever”. That is so true. He’s got what it takes to be an allstar. Got him for Rookie of the year.
Yes, grime…you are. In fact i don’t even know what the hell that means. Not sold in what sense?
I’d support the Clippers if they weren’t run by a racist slumlord:
[sports.espn.go.com]
“Sterling was prosecuted by the U.S. Justice Department for discriminating against prospective Hispanic and black tenants. Assuming the settlement is accepted by a U.S. district judge, Sterling will have the special distinction of giving the Justice Department the largest payout ever for a case involving apartment rentals.”
Some of the shit he said is disgusting. It’s pretty bad that Stern is more worried about players jawing at the ref.
there have been a TON of people praising durant as the best player in the game (fav for mvp). they are a little bit ahead of themselves. the thunder are a real exciting team and a blueprint for how to put together a team. durant is perfect for them. still not ahead of lebron, kobe, cp3…
will be a great race for ROY. if they both shine, give it to the team with more wins.
Blakes gonna be like Elton, dominant big who will not accomplish anything special with the Clips, then ditch for some other team (to be honest, if he stays in LA for 5 years, I can see him coming to the Lakers and be the face Post-Kobe)
LMAO @ Turk
The Clippers have to get rid of Del Negro; he isn’t a good coach. Sterling is in the top 5 worst owners in all sports. And Barron Davis should be ashamed of how he is playing. He has all the talent to be a top 5 player in the league and he just wastes it. Let Baron play well enough to the point you can trade him; then let Bledsoe play and gain experience.
top 5 clippers ever
1)Bob McAdoo
2)Danny Manning
3)Adrian Dantley
4)Elton Brand
5)Ron Harper
