    It's not how you start, it's where you finish.

    LOL at Griffin going for the rebound on Foye's last shot.

    This was a great game to make the push for LMA on the All-Star team.

    Did you notice that he was the only player who went after Foye's unnecessary 3 at the buzzer?

    Nice. Aldridge said we have to win 10 in a row for him to make the AS team. Go do it!!

    Aldridge thoroughly outplayed both Love and Griffin in the same week. I'm baffled.

    There isn't a reason we couldn't have gone to LMA about 10 more times in the second half. By 2 minutes into the 3rd it was painfully obvious that a) Griffin couldn't handle LMA one-on-one, and b) LMA could both pass out of and power through doubleteams. Oh well. Maybe some day. :)

    Blake Griffin is a glorified garbage man. Perhaps the best garbage man I've seen in years, but he has a very limited game. Kevin Love has more overall offense skills, and both are just miserable on defense. If Griffin loses some of that athleticism, his game will suffer greatly if he doesn't learn how to shoot from the outside.

    Griffin was basically holding LMA on the low block, making an entry pass almost impossible. The one time LMA got the ball on the block late, he had to pop Blanky in the mouth with an elbow for some separation.

    +1, + more than that. THOROUGHLY outplayed both, IMO. Grffin absolutely could not cover Aldridge(neither could Ike lol), but Aldridge looked good on him.

    Despite his 18 rebounds, Griffin still finished well behind Aldridge (and Matthews) in ESPN's "player rating" tonight. His 5 turnovers might have had something to do with that.

    Love Barkley saying that Love and Griffin not making the All-Star game would be a "travesty".

    Birds of a feather that don't play defense flock together...
