    Flop City!

    Griffin is a good flopper himself, though not quite at CP3's level.

    No flops here. Just arguably one of the greatest Blazers vs Clippers moment ever:

    We match up well with them. I think we have the players to slow down their inside-offense and our backcourt is as good as theirs if not better. Their strengthes are having a better bench than it seems and having more experience

    Our bench is really: Crabbe, Henderson, Vonleh and Davis. They're a deeper team

    Lets play the Andre Miller defense on Griffin. He did it without fouling. Nice job Dre!

    Only need 7 or 8 players in the playoffs. CJ, Dame might play 38-40 minutes. Crabbe, Hendo, Davis is a good bench.

    Every time Paul flops in Portland the Blazers should show that clip on the replay screen. Every time. The refs watch the screen too fwiw.
