    That is what Steve Blake has given us in this playoff series. It's rather remarkable. However, one of those turnovers was unfortunate when Artest caught him from behind and stole the ball when we trailed by two. Still, he has completely shut down Brooks and has had a heck of a series.

    How many foul shots has he took?

    How many fouls have Oden and Pryz recieved because of him?

    How many easy baskets have we made because of him?


    Steve Blake in 150 minutes this post season has attempted 3 FT's and made 2

    Jerryd Bayless in 8 minutes this post season has attempted 3 FT's and made 2

    Do you see a problem here at all?????

    You could save us both a bunch of time by just posting "I don't like Steve Blake" instead of a bunch of rhetorical questions.

    Sometimes stats don't tell the entire story.

    Steve Blake is a hard nosed kid with good intention, but the facts are good intentions don't always get you wins. Agressiveness does. The point of the post up above, is that Steve Blake does not have the ability to attack the basket and put the pressure on the point of attack like he needs to have for this team to be effective.

    I like Steve Blake. As a backup.

    or have to move over to help contest a lay up which leaves yao wide open for a putback...only aldridge has a chance of boxing yao out, and aldridge gives like 70 pounds probably
