    A bit? You mean by a lot. He is a joke and will be another Larry Johnson but without an outside shot. He doesn't impress me at all.

    Griffin is going to have to learn to play without insane athleticism at some point, but that's at least five years from now. He's going to end up a perennial All-Star, and a much better player than Larry Johnson.

    Not seeing what some of you see in OJ Mayo. He always defers when I see him. Never seems to try to take over. It will be interesting to see how much Cuban offers him.
    I sure as hell would not over pay for him.

    Larry Johnson was a beast his first 6 years in the league. He already is outperforming griffin each and every year.

    Crazy that Mike James is the starting PG for Dallas these days.

    Horrible call in that Clippers/Mavs game just now... Chris Paul gets too many calls...

    I like the clippers defense though. James is a much better defender than collision.

    I'm with you that O.J. Mayo is not worth the money he'll command, but his problem in Memphis was actually that he didn't defer enough. Similarly to Rudy Gay, he was just a shot-machine and a blackhole, especially when we moved him to the bench. He'd hit one shot and then get Jordan-esque confidence and start jacking up contested shots with time left on the shotclock. I actually like seeing him being more of a team player in this game.

    Damn, that was a turnover Collison wouldn't have made...

    EDIT: Turn on TNT if you're not watching the Clips/Mavs right now. Tied game with a minute left. So much at stake for both teams. Very scrappy game...

    I agree. I just can't root for cp3 's teams.

    Mayo did look pretty good on the post up. He also got robbed on the drive

    Why? I like cp3. I don't like most the rest of the team though.

    Dallas sucks this year because they have no point guard. James is not a PG and Collison should be the back up.

    I hate players who constantly cry. And he is one of the worst.

    I've gotta agree with you. His talent's unreal, and I get that he's a small dude out there that's constantly driving against bigger guys, but I feel like he uses that to his advantage too much. He oversells calls with his body and his facial expressions. It makes him hard to watch.

    Not as much as Cp3. He is on Kobe's level of complaining. But he is great.

    Mayo just shut me up! Ha
