    We did stink to start the game. But now we are playing better.

    What a play by Dre. Faked the pass to freeze Blake and went up for the wide open lay in.

    We never stunk. It was just a slow start. Whether or not you "stink" is decided by whether or not you can win the whole game, not the first three minutes.

    We overcame a slow start and playing 5 on 8 to take a 5 point lead into halftime. Impressive.

    10 FTA for Griffin in the first half.

    Incredible.

    so much for LMA getting some national attention. His name wasn't mentioned in the halftime show. They've slurped Griffin, B-Diddy, Wes for MIP, Nate...nothing about LMA.

    Imagine if Oden would have gotten the calls that Griffin gets.

    Aldridge has been good so far, but he needed to be spectacular to get some attention.

    Griffin has 13 and 12. He has the NBA season high of 47 points in a game. His team has won 11 of 15 including games against Miami and L.A. He's earned it. Let's see what Aldridge does in the second half and what they say then.

    12/7/2 assists isn't a bad first half while holding a 5 point lead.

    Imagine if Oden was Half as good as Griffin in his rookie year.

    Do you actually watch games on TNT? They will focus on the Clippers and Blake Griffin in the postgame show, win or lose.

    So 3-10 and poor defense is spectacular enough to get the attention? Meh, whatever. We never get talked about at half time of these games. And after we win them, they say how the other team lost it. Works for me, as long as it still counts the same in the W column.

    did Chuck just say "there's lots of fat women in San Antonio" right before "the Riverwalk is a dirty li'l creek"?

    That's because he's one of the great stories of the season. Best rookie since LeBron, maybe better. They wouldn't focus on him if he sucked.
