Blake Griffin Interview (Clippers, Lockout, Goals, etc.)
Posted: Wed Jul 13, 2011 8:10 pm
What areas of his game he needs to work on:
“From an offensive standpoint just becoming more and more comfortable shooting the basketball and being more of a scoring threat. At the same time working on a lot of all around things. Working on my defense, watching a lot of film, and becoming a better leader trying to help our team win. That’s tough to do in this league but I think we have the right guys and there’s no reason we can’t.”On the rumors of him going overseas to possibly play in an exhibition game:
“I haven’t heard anything along those lines. I don’t know. We’ll see what happens. I’m sure there’s going to be a lot of opportunities like those that pop up. I’m not opposed to stuff like that so we’ll see what happens.”How far away the Clippers are from being a playoff team:
“It’s kind of a tough question because you see teams like the Thunder right there, what was it three years ago? I don’t remember what their record was but it wasn’t close to being in the playoffs and then they made it. It depends on a lot of different things. It depends on guys re-signing this summer and how much time our guys put in this summer but I know guys have been working. We are close, but at the same time it’s not easy and we have a lot of work to do. It depends but that’s definitely the goal from here on out.”
