    If Blake can stay healthy Pistons will be tough in the playoffs.

    @Darkwebs Poll is invalid as it doesn't have an option for Portland.
    As long as Griffin has been a Clipper, he generally kills whoever Portland puts on him(Aminu/Aldridge). Therefore I'd say Portland won the trade.

    With Turner and Napier out, maybe WB4 gets some run. Go Blazers. I'm in Detroit now. Going to Ann Arbor now to speak to students before swinging back around to Detroit for the game.

    I can understand all the nay sayers. Griffin has had some injuries and he did just sign a pretty big contract but his impact on a game is undeniable. Clippers just traded their franchise player. There is no way that can be considered a good move when they still have Doc and Doc Jr. The Pistons and their fanbase are energized and this seems to be working rather well at this point. Now if Blake goes down again with a season ending injury? This will have been a stroke of genius but right now there is no way i can say the Clippers came out on top.
    By the way. This is the 5th game in 7 days. I just cannot see a way the Blazers can take advantage of the Pistons biggest weakness. 3 point defense. Blazers need to hit shots from three to win this game. Tired legs just don't usually let that happen.

    This game is going to be another close game where we grasp 4thQ lead and lose the game in the final minute. Hope we hold on and take a win.
