Blake Griffin Proved He is Good

Blake Griffin was playing great (according to ESPN report) in his first "pre-season" game.

Have seen a video clip recorded right after his game, I feel like he does not have the All-Star look, yet (only personal opinion).

I mean, Boozer is good (sort of), but he does not have the All-Star look and hence his limited apperance in All-Star game.

Blake Griffin has the potential to be better than Boozer. We will see.

By the way, rumour said that Clippers is also interested in AI. Well, that does not seem to be a good idea. Baron Davis, AI, Blake Griffin, Eric Gordon, Al Thorton (etc...) all need ball touches.

People said that Lakers having two players with Big Ego - Kobe, Ron Artest, may actually hurt the team. But if AI does join Clippers, this team may have bigger Ego. Will be fun to watch those games in Staples Center.

If there were a Baron Davis - Jamal Crawford Trade, ...

Others,

- Kevin Love has gradually learnt how to play in NBA. He is definitely a Coach Sloan player.

- Monta Ellis is back.

- LBJ buzzer beater is going to be magnified, let’s say, 3 times bigger than it should be.

- Captain Jackson, quite a player. I like his composure. His two-clutch shots in front of LBJ are something that needs to be mentioned. - link

- I guess if Crawford is replaced by Baron Davis, I will become a Warrior fans, just after Jazz. Their games are really entertaining.

- Good tactics from Coach Dunleavy in the last play. - link

- Some really good Top 10 plays in the Friday night games. Shouldn’t miss it. - link

D Will feels good

Jazz game,

- Okur is back, everything seems easier, but he is not 100% yet.

- D Will said this is the first time he feels good, close to 100%. He showed it by a good scoring night. Hope he could keep his shooting touch from this game onwards.

- Jazz will play an Away game with Lakers. Could we see another unexpected win?

Others,

- Baron expressed interest to be a Warrior again – link.

He should not have gone, Warriors would be a very good team if he did not go away. Now everything seems too late even some kinds of trade can be made this season.

- Shaq had a great game today – 28 pts, 12 rebs. He said it loud that the team’s offense should be built around him after the game.

"I've been doing that my whole career and I think that's how this team should play, especially the way I'm shooting free throws now. It should be an inside-outside game," said O'Neal, who went 8-for-12 on free throws.

"I've been in the league 15 years and I've been in [the finals] six times, and that's the way you get there. I think once we do that and develop some consistency and stop turning the ball over, then we'll be all right."

- After getting consistent minutes from Coach Don Nelson, Marco Belinelli has been giving some good numbers lately. He becomes a big part of Warriors already. You have not let me down.

Baron Davis forced OT, Clippers sealed win in 2OT

- Dwight Howard left the game today. Perhaps he won't show up / be 100% tomorrow vs Jazz? kind of good news.

- Clippers showed their potential (as I expected), a money shot from Baron Davis to force OT and sealed the win in 2OT. Thanks for beating Trail Blazers.

Jazz Knocked Down 76ers, 6-1

D Will is back! He admited that he won't come back so early if Jazz did not lose at New York and Okur is not back to Turkey.

Statistically he did not contribute much but I am sure he has controlled the rhythm of the game well. He can still feel pain so he basically can't do anything explosive at all to pursue for his lay-ups / dunks!

Brewer's heart and maturity seems to become better and better, and he played 38mins today, which shows Coach Sloan trusts him more and more (even he had 0 pts in the first three quarters).

Koufos is doing on par with my expectation.

By the way, just feel pity that Baron Davis and Captain Jackson can’t play at the same team again, they are both very exciting players who just draw the audience so deeply into the game.
