Oooh, very good.

That foul to give would've been nice though.

EDIT: OH GOD...what a good win.

Grizzlies: They were who we thought they were.We let them off the hook.

Wow, it's so sad seeing Gilbert Arenas sitting on the bench.

Also, having watched a good part of that game, I would not have guessed that Griffin scored 30 points.

Why? He was basically unguardable past the first quarter. The Grizzlies defense on Blake involved Zach Randolph or Marreesse Speights pushing him off the block on every possession.

It was a good offensive night for Blake.

Griffin made 10 FGs. 6 of those were from assists, so he gets the ball and lays up or dunks. 2 others were 6-foot jumpshots.

That's all fine and dandy, but what concerned me was that it seemed like every time he got the ball and he wasn't in the paint, he juked a bit and then got rid of the ball.

I'm really not trying to be a player-hater, but I don't see him generating his own offense a lot.

That's fine, I don't think you're hating.

You still have to play when you don't have the ball. And the Grizzlies didn't contain him, he scored at the basket all night. But no, he's not really going to get very open with the ball - everything's pretty contested.

The ability to just jump over or power through most PFs in the league makes up for a lot of his offensive limitations. He does occasionally flash some nice footwork, but it's hardly consistent.

I think people should give him credit for doing a pretty good job of passing out of the post. I rarely hear any praise for him in that regard, but it's an important skill for a guy who's going to be demanding double teams and he's picked it up early.

Considering it's only his second real season in the NBA, I'd be willing to say that Blake has plenty of time to improve.

If he can develop a real post game to go with that freakish athleticism he has he'll be unbeatable.

He'll still need to get some defensive ability. Unless you want his ceiling to be "poor man's Charles Barkley".
