Overlooked in today's madness - we impressed Blake

We may have impressed Blake but Blake did not impress us

Blake's not the same player he used to be, but I think he'd be a great fit in Boston. He can still rebound and score efficiently, but most importantly, he's an outstanding facilitator. That's largely wasted alongside Chris Paul, but in Boston he could really thrive as a high-usage facilitator. We'd be lucky to add him.

Beat me to the punch. TP.

Blake would be huge for us. He's a willing passer and a very adept one at that. If he could extend his range to the 3, he'd be perfect.

Think he's the perfect fit for us, even in his athletically diminished current incarnation.

- Shores up our rebounding weakness.
- Thrives in the post. Very useful given that Horford prefers the perimeter now.
- Elite passer, fits our motion offense perfectly.
- Our Center shoots threes, so we can afford to have one player who can't.

Aside from Anthony Davis, I can't imagine a better frontcourt compliment to Horford in the league.

Yeah, he's definitely a good fit. I wish he was a bit better overall/perimeter defender, but he'd still probably upgrade us there by pushing Horford to his natural position and being an average to a bit above average defender himself. I also wish he extended his shot a bit beyond the arc, which would do wonders for his game just like it did for Cousins, Horford, Ibaka, etc.

People forget just how unstoppable Blake can be at times. He's a walking mismatch at the 4 position. Who would guard him from Cleveland? You can't really put Lebron on him and waste all of his energy there, and if you put TT on him then Horford would just abuse Love down low, albeit in a lesser extent.

Yeah Blake will really like that everyone around him will chuck threes...

Blake was not the guy leaping over cars for sure .  He looked maybe 60 % what he used to be . I don't follow him or Clippers . 

So maybe he is still hurt , or can get better with off season rest ?

Jaylen will eat him alive next year or two as he matures....if Blake is really this finished

Blake looked like Superman laying on the court , who just got slammed by kryptonite.

In his present form or health Im not a fan ,  but if he can get back to his glory days I'm ok with his fit.

As his fantasy owner, I can tell you that he just came back from a leg injury that held him out for around 6-8 weeks. I wouldn't jump the gun that he's finished. I think he just started playing again last week. Give the man time to recover at least. His lift is clearly not there yet but I'm confident it'll return as he gets his conditioning back.

Griffin would be a good fit  .  If he can get and remain healthy.

He looks COOKED to me!!!!

I don't know how you look at players, but his last 5 games after coming back from an injury, he's averaging 23 points, 7.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists on 53% shooting.

Give me that guy. It wouldn't matter if he's cooked, if he can post those kind of numbers, I want him.

But dose he play bigger or smaller than this numbers?
I remember someone said the Clips plays better without him

I'm more concerned with whether he plays bigger than Amir's numbers, as that's who he'd be replacing.

Unless they think his leg is shot, I also think he would be a great fit.

I mean, just imagine him straight-up replacing Amir Johnson.  He does basically everything Amir does (maybe a bit less rim protection?), but adds a better post game, consistent midrange shooting, elite rebounding, and elite playmaking to the mix.  We'd be immeasurably better than we are now.

Along with Hayward, he's also probably the most realistic FA out there.  He won't make an all-NBA team this year so he won't be eligible for designated veteran status, and there's plenty of opportunities for LAC to collapse between now and summertime.

Empty numbers!!  They went 1-4 in those games, correct??  I LOOK AT wins and losses, not empty individual stats.  Take them in CONTEXT of W's and L's!!!!  Three of those fours losses were by double digits and their ONE win was against the Suns, the team with the second worst record in the entire NBA!!
