I have only got to see him play a few times, but that was early in the season. From the highlights it looks like he really has the bank shot down now .

He is going up against Aldrige, but not sure what other big men Portland will have since camby just had surgery.

I say he goes for 35 pts and 12 rebs

What do you guys think his numbers will be tonight?

I would suggest watching another game. Definitely wasn't his night tonight, but it wasn't for anyone on the Clippers, other than Eric Gordon. No doubt he'll bounce back next game, but most people will get a good idea of him All-Star Weekend.

I was happy for Lamarcus Aldridge.  He had a big night, outplaying Griffin handily.

And bounce back he did. Finishes the game with 30/18/8, including a big three-pointer at the end of the game.

Forget all the highlight drunks.. what really scares the living jebus out of me, is that he hit that 3 pointer down the stretch now that was scary, whats more is that he's hit 6 of 10 from 3's.
 
He is borderline a NBA monster, the types that could wake me up in the middle of the night sweating form nightmares. He is what Lebron should have been in his rookie season.

I pray the Clippers can surrond him with a solid core for years to come.

He's a pretty amazing player.
Sad that he plays for the worst owner in the NBA.
Celtics fan for life.

At least the Clippers are somewhat coming together and have put a nice string of games together. Blake is actually getting Baron Davis to play basketball again and when he plays and is healthy he can be one of the games best point guards talent wise. Once Kaman comes back this team has a good solid 6 to 7 players, add a couple veterans to the bench and they are going to be fun to watch over the next couple years.

Grab a few boards, keep the TO's under 14, close out on shooters and we'll win.

I think the only issue now is getting Kaman/Smith healthy. It's obvious that BG's playing a lot - they'll need to come back to spell him some rest.

i haven't seen this guy play yet - i don't care much about showboat dunks. can he do anything else besides eat the rim when he jumps ?

i did see him hit that 3 at the end of the highlights - does he have good back-to-the-basket moves that he can score off of with baby-hooks or off the glass ? does he play defense ?
