As noted above, he's shooting jumpers better this season than in his first two years. He's still a good passer -- third most assists per minute among PFs. Shooting and passing -- skills. Maybe his post-up game isn't smooth and pretty, but he appears to be a guy willing to work on his game. He's already improved his shooting...maybe his post-up game is next on the list.
I'd definitely take Duncan over him (for this season), but Griffin -- whatever his perceived faults -- is productive, young and appears to be improving. There aren't many PFs in the game I would take over Griffin.
I realize that it's not a good idea to make extrapolations from one game, but I gotta say that Griffin was very unimpressive against the Wizards. He was 5-18, and I know at least two of those field goals were accomplished solely by sprinting up court and outrunning the defense to get deep position against a mismatched defender. Take away those 2 buckets and he was 3-16 in the conventional half court set. Furthermore, half of his free throw attempts were "earned" via star treatment, not on the merits of the play. Basically, Nene, Seraphin and Booker owned him.
If you'd watched him against Orlando a few nights earlier, your impression would be quite different -- 30, 8 and 7, including 3-4 from 16-23 feet. He likely looked better last night when he went for 26, 13 and 8 against Golden State.
Your first sentence is correct.

He's a good player.
He stole the dunk championship from Javale. That's Stern's fault.
He made an obvious flop that fits into the parameters that should be penalized, and so far has not. That's also Stern's fault.
More fun to hate Griffin though.

Lebron might have redeemed himself in terms of his play on the court - he's clearly the best player in the NBA right now, fourth quarters included. But he still whines like a baby when things don't go his way.

I'm waiting for Wiretap to report the Blake got fined for flopping.
I think when the Clips come to the phone booth, I should make a poster
that says Lob City with the Lob marked through and corrected with Flop.
Blake's true value will be better established with this forthcoming
playoffs.
I will revise/edit my remarks. He's a very productive/good player.
I just don't happen to like him.

And winning the award for "Most Ironic Comment of the Night", Clippers' color commentator Mike Smith.
Following an offensive foul called on Blake Griffin as he pushed Thabo Sefolosha attempting to clear space to go up for an alley-oop, Mike Smith exclaimed....
That was just a little love tap, I thought this was a man's league

Though I don't really hate LeBron anymore. He seems to have matured.

Which = The New Queen of Basketball because that is who LeBron used to be.

More like a fade away to the side. Super quick release to get it off when they knew there were only a few seconds left. Beaucoup de swag to run back before it went in. Lookin like vintage arenas. Gave em that work.

He seems really comfortable with his sexuality. A lot of younger men prefer relationships with older men (often called "trainers") for their experience.
Blake Griffin has the sound of a movie character, like in Giant or Gone With the Wind. Don LaFontaine: "In a world where life is cheap and few can afford it, Blake Griffin wanted it all, and he got it. But he wanted more." Maybe you could call it No Contact: Flagrant II or something.

Hope Blake got his needs meet before the game tonight.
