Blake on Gasol part 2.........




I'm actually starting to feel bad for Gasol.

I think Blake Griffin might be the biggest d-bag in the league though. Someone should teach him a lesson with a hard foul.

Lol, the Lakers just can't hold a lead. They pull that crap every game. They get a huge lead than the collapse. Most often than not they salvage the win, but it is becoming pathetic.

Blake is a buster. Taunt people when down by +10, fall on the floor like a baby when somebody runs into him before he heads up for a dunk.

One of these days somebody will foul him VERY hard, like a Karl Malone type foul.

I agree with you about Blake, he only seems to be 1 dimensional. When his knees start to go he'll get a rude awakening.However watch Bynums face at the end of the clip is he actually laughing at Gasol? If he is that's not a guy I'd want on my team, no unity.

Yeah, it looked like he was laughing. There was also this from Kobe:

Quote:
@jadande
Kobe didn't think Blake's dunk on Pau was an offensive foul, didn't mind Blake's post dunk staredown. Said he would've done same thing.
Quote:
@jadande
Interesting how Kobe always defends Blake, even against his own team. Kobe did praise Pau's unselfishness to step back & let Bynum shine

lol it wasn't a foul. sucks we lost the tiebreaker but eh what can you do, Bynum's almost unstopabble when he keeps catching the ball that low in the post so w/e, looking forward to the Lakers-Clippers WCF

and the "blake one dimensional" posts are so redundant and tired all i can do is laugh.

Someone needs to teach Blake a lesson with a hard foul? He already gets smacked all the time and he just continues to dunk on people. He probably leads the league in getting cheapshotted. "One of these days". LMAO. That day has already come, more than once. Sorry to break it to you.

And for a guy who averages 20 and 10, that is one hell of a one-dimensional player. He's already vastly improved his jumper from last season. He just needs to work on his FTs. A training camp next season can help. Haters can only hate him more when fouling him to send him to the line is something to regret.

And if you're complaining about the staredown after that dunk, you must think the players have to be robots with no emotions.

blake is a front-running buster as mentioned above. plays no defense unless flopping is considered defense nowadays.

so Blake got a poster, they also picked up another L and the sports media once again looks stupid for trying to write the Lakers epitaph in favor of "flop city" clippers

blake will be begging to get traded or sign a offer sheet as soon as posisble as all clipper pseudo-stars eventually do, its their tradition. lol at sterling being too cheap to fire del negro and hire mcmillan as he should have done asap.

looked for a clip of pau stuffing blake's shot then forcing a travel but apparently championship plays like that down the stretch dont get highlights...only dunks from the losing team

*edit* and yes there is a reason why blake is probably cheap-shotted more than any other player, its cuz he's ****** who doesn't get called for all his offensive fouls and shoving players in the back. if the refs wont call it, the players will send thier own message and one day soon it will get out of hand.

exhibit A...this will happen more and more unless he wises up:

Laker fans calling the Clippers flop city. This is a fan base that roots for a team that has Gasol and Fisher (before the trade).

BTW, that video was when he was a rookie. Yeah, a veteran welcoming a rookie in the NBA.

I just don't like Blake, the guy is a punk who tries to play a big game and shies away when people fight back like in the video above. Have nothing against the Clippers.

this.

its not rage at the clippers or even their "fans"...if i had any ill feelings it would have been towards the media who were crowning the clippers as the favs out of the division and how much better they were now than the Lakers. or sterling the worst owner in all of sports.

i actually used to go to clipper games quite often when they had odom, miles, brand, etc. always liked them in a little brother sort of way, rooting for the underdog...but i have to admit my dislike for cp3 and griffin has me grinning every time they lose now.

He's a good rebounder but that doesn't mean he's a good defensive player.

I don't have a horse in this race. I absolutely hate Kobe and the Lakers and I'm a big Chris Paul fan but don't really care for the Clippers. I just think Blake is an overrated one-dimensional punk.

Ahhhhhh, the typical Laker fan "I always root for the Clippers, but not when they are having serious competition with the Lakers." Of course you hate the Clippers now because they are winning. Back then when they were losing, they didn't steal any attention away from your precious Lakers.

And Avs19, nobody said he was a good defensive player. His room for improvement is huge, though. Sky's the limit. But like I said, a 20 and 10 "one-dimensional" guy is pretty amazing to say the least.

lol what are they winning? not the season series vs the Lakers this year nor the division

i think i was quite clear, i dislike Griffin now since he's a punk and have always disliked CP3. those 2 make it very enjoyable to watch them lose. if only they had more likable players i wouldnt even mind the attention they got to start the season, its good for the Lakers to fly under the radar this season.

the season they went to the second round and the Lakers lost in the 1st to the Suns...i was rooting for the clippers...but they had a much more likable cast back then.

here is my plan for th eCLips:

-fire Del Negro and hire Nate Mcmillan, offer Billups asst coach job
-force Sterling to sell the team to a respectable owner (i know impossible but really this should be #1)
-teach Griffin how to actually play defense, then teach him how to shoot
-trade Deandre somehow for a center who can actually guard other centers and is not a complete liability of offense.
-pick up some guards who are taller than 6'2" ffs
-move the team to the OC and play at the Honda center so they can have their own identity
-after all that, maybe they will be able to convince CP3 to resign, even though his knees are suspect he is their best player.

Winning, as in winning record. Quit being a smartass. Anyway, Blake and the Clippers didn't get much flack from Laker fans last year because they had a losing record, so therefore the pathetic egos of Laker fans weren't affected. But now of course, the egos are undeniably taking a toll. They can't stand the fact that the Lakers aren't the only LA team that is making some headlines.

It's the same when the Clippers had a great season in 2005-06. Of course, Laker fans were "rooting" for the Clippers in the 2nd round against the Suns because the Suns just annoyed the **** out of them in the 1st round series. The mid 2000s were when the Suns were the most hated team to Laker fans and Raja Bell was public enemy #1. Had the Clippers won against the Suns, there's no doubt in my mind that most Laker fans would've rooted for the Mavs or the Spurs in the next round. Don't even try to deny it (remember, I said most Laker fans, not just you.) Again, you dislike Griffin now because the Clippers have a winning record. It's kinda hypocritical for you to say that you hate a certain team because they have unlikable players when your team itself has unlikable punks like Bynum and Methead World Peace.

As for your list of your plans, it's cringeworthy with the exception of the Sterling part. I find it amusing when Laker fans keep wanting the Clippers to move to Honda Center. That ain't happening. The Clippers are selling out every game at Staples. What Uganda do about it? What identity crisis? LOL, keep making **** up. I bet you're happy you don't live in LA anymore so you don't have to see people in LA wearing Blake Griffin jerseys and the fact that not every Angeleno is a Laker fan.

As for the rest of your "plans," you don't need to be an expert to think of those. All Clipper fans know the improvements that need to happen in the offseason. I know that deep inside, you hope CP3 will not re-sign.
