A few days ago, “Big Baby” Davis had his daughter steal the postgame press conference. Yesterday, Chris Paul’s young son got a few laughs by doing “The Blake Face” on cue. Read the rest of this entry »

A wise man once said: “The NBA Playoffs are a clusterf*ck of storylines.” This year’s first round is no exception. Even if Derrick Rose’s ACL captures the majority of the casual fan’s attention, the injury is only the tip of the iceberg. Since it’s hard to keep track of every little in-and-out of the league’s 16 playoff teams, so we did our best to recap some of the weekend’s events in a condensed fashion.

Blake Griffin hasn’t seen a poster opportunity he didn’t like. However, opposing big men aren’t taking too lightly to his self-aggrandizing aerial feats.

Blake Griffin went to the rack late in last night’s game against the Suns, only to be met by a cross-body block from Robin Lopez. As a result of the play, Griffin suffered a strained neck, Lopez was ejected but the Suns still won, 93-90. With the W, Phoenix extended their home dominance over L.A., who’ve lost 10 straight road games to the Suns dating back to April 2007.

The best way the Clippers can stymy the hard fouls against Griffin? Look no further than the :08 mark when his teammates run up on Lopez and whisper sweet nothings in his direction. Instead, they – and Blake – would be better served clocking the next assailant. Oakley would’ve mashed on whoever laid a lick like that on Mike. Rick Mahorn and Bill Laimbeer would’ve been waiting in the parking lot for whatever opponent clotheslined Zeke or Joey D. One Clipper needs to co-opt hockey’s enforcer role and man up. Serve up a knuckle sandwich, accept the suspension and everybody pony up to help pay the fine. No Gregg Williams, just a one-shot deal to send a message back.

They need to show that if other players mess with Blake on the break, there’s gonna be consequences and repercussions © Rayford Gibson.

While everyone else was in hot pursuit of the Concords and other December releases, I spent my days tracking down a pair of the “Blake Show” Hyperdunk Supreme from Nike’s “Lockout Pack.” House Of Hoops’ releases always pose a headache when you’re hundreds of miles removed from those stores and there’s no accompanying online release, but the chase admittedly plays a role in the sneaker’s allure in many ways.
