Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

As far as I'm concerned, Blake Griffin will be an abject failure on both ends of the court if he's forced to play the weakside corner. It'll be similar to how Marcus Fizer did miserably with the Chicago Bulls earlier this decade.

they ae just trying to find a way to screw up that pick

That's right, that's a picture of me with my new bff Joel Przybilla. He said my Billy Idol Karaoke was spot on.

in retrospect

how on earth did the blazers make it to the conference finals TWICE with MDS as the head coach?

If Artest can say it, so can I. Broy>Kobe.

Cuz we had a ridiculously talented squad.

It takes a special man to screw that up, a really special man. Mike dunleavey was that man.

On a side note id like to point out what a crock the coach of the year award is.

*see (Mike Dunleavey Sr. , Byron Scott , Mike Brown)

Sheed, Bonzi, Stoudamire, Sabonis, Pippen, Smith

How do you NOT make Conference Finals with that kind of talent?

HAHA

People like Gay, Granger and Durant will run right past him

I think Beasley could be a "Carmelo Anthony"-style small forward

Probably with worse outside shooting, but in principle he could be something between Melo and Derrick Coleman (hopefully with a little more effort, though Coleman has started to do a lot of useful things in the Detroit community after his career).

Griffin, not so much. He is quite quick and he did look not bad going to the rim at the college level, but in the NBA I fear he either gets his playing time on power forward or he is as wrong on his position as Durant on shooting guard. Moving him to small forward just so the Clippers can keep their weird collection of big guys isn’t wise.

I don't think "Wise" , is what the clippers are shooting for.

Just my opinion.

Blake Griffin would be a small forward in the style of guys like Marcus Fizer and Corliss Williamson.

That, without question, would be an epic failure on so many levels that it makes me wonder how men like Mike Dunleavy, Sr. stay employed in the NBA. Then again, the Los Angeles Clippers have a doltish jerk of an owner (i.e., Donald Sterling); thus, I can grasp the continued employment of Dunleavy, Sr. on that level.

Oh, along with Fizer and Williamson, Shareef Abdur-Rahim is another guy like them who comes to mind.

by AK1984 on Jun 8, 2009 1:46 AM PDT up reply actions  

Only Dunleavy Sr.

would consider having someone who has extreme difficulty making a jump shot longer than 10 feet play at the 3.

It’s mind-boggling really…..

by antediluvian on Jun 8, 2009 3:05 PM PDT reply actions  

Aw comon!

It would be vastly entertaining to see Blake Griffin spotting up in the corner. As long as its not my team doing it, I advocate it.

I think

this may all be planted rumors for future trades, etc. Something is brewing there…

Blazers Broadcasters Mike Barrett and Mike Rice re-enacted NBA referee Scott Foster's controversial goaltending call on Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who was defending Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star forward Kevin Durant, during this week's edition of Blazers Courtside. Remarkably, no one was injured during the taping of this segment.

OK, that should just about wrap up the goaltending discussion.
