    I think many of us forgot his verbal confrontation with the fan in the stands while he was a Laker.

    Here's his response from that.

    No I would not say he is tougher that I thought because i have always thought his toughness was one of his strengths. He is not the quickest of PG's but he always battles.

    He really played well last night setting his teammates up and shooting when only necessary.

    Even though this video makes this thread way too Laker related, this foul reminds me of the only play Derek Fisher ever did that I appreciated.

    1:40 in for those who are impatient.

    Andre Miller is one of my all time favorite players. He just plays the game, simple as that.

    I just wish some of this had happened to Chris Paul last game. I kept thinking someone needed to grab his pushoff arm and yank his face into the deck once just on general principle.

    Blake has just the attitude this team needs, I was so happy when we picked him back up.

    He's been a perfect fit. Can we go back to the thread started after we got him and call out the haters.

    Well tell him we are proud of him and his toughness. Also, we aren't as concerned with him scoring as we are his defense and distribution!

    He's a perfect fit!

    Okay, so here's one difference between Blake and Mo.

    Game 4 vs. Houston: Mo gets in the face of the D leaguer after the game and thinks this is a way to get under his skin. Instead, it fires up Houston to play inspired ball the next game. Blake would have handled it much differently and most likely, just concentrated on his defensive assignments and allow his game do the talking.

    When Blake gets in your face, there is a damn good reason. He's not like the chumps (Odom, Griffin and many like them) that makes their living getting under your skin by doing cheap shit.

    You can still tell him what I said after you are finished mowing my lawn.
