    Blake Griffin is so much better when Paul isn't playing. Clippers have been no worse without Paul really.

    Funny enough you hit a real point while trying to troll the Clippers. Blake wants to run and use his ridiculous athleticism but CP3 would rather slow it down and try to control the pace of the game. Just shows how good of a coach Doc Rivers is that he has adjusted the way the team plays with CP3 out, he just let Blake run loose.

    On other sites people have been saying Griffin is the best power forward in the league because of his improved play without CP3. They say Aldridge edges out Love for number two because of how bad Love is on defense.

    Griffin has improved but i'd still have him at 4, LMA/Love/Davis/Griffin.

    "Is Chris Paul garbage?" is the obviously correct question. I used to love those threads last season.

    You know, a Dame/CP3 backcourt would be really interesting.

    I just told the Clippers brass. They said "knock off the pick and you got a deal."

    The fact is Love should be a Center, on offense he can play wherever they want but on defense he is only good when covering the post, while he will likely never become much of a shot blocker or rim defender as a low post defender and a center he would no longer be a defensive liability.

    that just goes to show how bad he is on defense, when LaMarcus is considered better BECAUSE of Loves defense.
