    "Come out swinging"

    Is a relative statement. He could come out swinging with stats and a logical argument. :dunno:

    I counted that. Injured 09-10. Healthy 10-11, 11-12, 12-13, 13-14. Injured 14-15, 15-16, 16-17, 17-18, 18-19. 1 injured, then 4 healthy, then 5 injured. 6 total.

    :smiley-boxing: I come out swinging with facts!

    Warriors blew a 31 point lead and 3-1 series lead. Maybe if the Blazers can get to the conference finals Blazers #31 can take down his brother and the Warriors.

    Check your "facts" again.

    He only played 66 games in 11'-12' and was not healthy.

    :smack:

    The total is 7.

    Even if it was 6 (it's not), that's still only healthy 4 of the 10 seasons since being drafted.

    I'm. Good.

    My facts are flawless. 11-12 was a lockout season. 66 was the full slate. Take your smack back.

    Fair enough. That could very well be the case.

    Doc rivers....i think he's a jerk, but look at what he's getting out of that roster. He should be coach of the year.

    He mentioned that already. You obviously missed it but I was cringing seeing your posts.

    I did miss that.

    Still though, it doesn't invalidate my point. Blake Griffin is injury prone. He has been injured the at key times during his career. He's not trending healthy as he has been injured 5 seasons straight, including these playoffs.

    5 years straight.

    I appreciate it that you owned it. That's a sign of maturity in my opinion.
    Anyways I kind of agree with you about Blakes injury history, but "if" healthy (I realize that's a big IF) he would fit the Blazers so well.

    Also biofreeze.

    Oh, your point about not wanting him is completely legit. I thought he was overcoming the rep this year, but then he had to go and validate it by getting hurt again right at the end of the season.

    Although technically incorrect regarding the lockout season, dviss' point is still valid: Griffin has a low likelihood of making it through an 82 game season healthy. The shorter season should be tossed out as an irrelevant data point.

    Yeah, because they suffer so much bad luck.

    Not every nb team has 3 guys getting over 23pts per 36 and 50+ games of Tobias Harris.

    Lol. Coincidencial timing, played the whole year. Your talking about a guy who - if he gets hurt where really no worse than we are without trading for him. If he isnthur, we have 4 all-star caliber players and the best team in the West (after KD leaves).
