By “real difference” I meant “real defense”

Griffin was definitely acting like a punk last night. What surprised me was that Brandon Bass was able to guard him so well, and that the Celtics took him out of his game. Sure he got a handful of Incredible Hulk dunks, but he didn’t break out. And he looked absolutely awkward trying to deal with their defense when he couldn’t easily get to the hoop. Like Dwight, he’s still missing some key offensive skills that he needs against good defensive teams, and the skills he does have are so immense that he hasn’t needed to make up the difference – yet.
Also, being a western team, the Clippers don’t see as many teams that play real difference. At the end of the night, Moe Williams told the L.A. Times that what makes the Celtics hard to score against is that they contest every shot. Well, duh!

I could be wrong, but I think his shot is getting better. Even his foul shooting was on last night.

del negro started coaching in chicago in 2008(d rose’s rookie season),

he was cut after 2 years because chicago was going to try to make a run at some titles

with d rose and del negro sucked. Now the clippers are making a run at it…. the only

logical thing to do is cut del negro like chicago did… but why wait 2 years? Y not do it

before the trade deadline….

It’s still the Clippers. Still no one cares.

When the Warriors beat the Clippers, no one cares.

Ive always felt that way about him. He always has that ridiculous hard look on his face, which gets worse after dunks. And he is always messing with his freaking mouth pc.

If Rondo’s shooting could be fixed you would think Boston would have done it by now

Teams don’t trade big for small. And I can assure you both sides don’t like this trade idea.

Blake Griffin is becoming very hard to like. At one point in the game he scored and got fouled took the ball and put it in Greg Stiemsma’s chest. Greg freaking Stiemsma . Im far from a Boston fan but i was hoping the Clippers would lose after that . Blake really has been annoying this year , from his stare down to refs and constant complaining to his Kia commercials.

I do have to say he is a freak of nature and is the only guy I paid to watch last year . Griffin live at a seat close to the court is really impressive . This year has really soured me on him and I just find myself really hating the way he acts . If you want the enforcer or tough guy look go after somebody like Garnett not Greg freaking Stiemsma. Thats just a punk move. Label me a hater or whatever cause i am starting to hate him,

Thank you Celtics!

Side note: I don’t see any scenario where LA turned down a Gasol for Rondo trade offer. No way. That’s a bogus report. 5 years younger, 7 mil cheaper, great defensive PG, great passing PG. His only weakness is his shot, and that’s something they should be able to fix. Rondo’s a little goofy but I’d take him in a minute.
