I've added the Clippers to my list of teams (Lakers/Spurs) that I hate the most.

Especially Blake Griffin/CP3 (flops/push-offs) and the homer announcers they have.

[bigfoot]

Holy hell ... I lol'ed at the Blake pictures. But I do like Blake ... really

Spoiler:

[Revived]

Over/under on Blake scoring 30?

Suns always put Tucker on him and Griffin always owns him.

[Kyler Murray]

Perfect picture for Chris Flop

He would still only get 4 rebounds. We need a real PF!

[BurningHeart]

Wonder which infuriating way we'll lose to these flopping, disgusting **** this time.

[SlovenianDragon]

I went to the GS game we won....the raptors game we won.....and im going to this game.

Easy win.

My bold prediction is Dragic going HAM.

Green probably too.

The funny thing is all the people who say Kieff isa terrible rebounder are also the ones who say that stats lie. Rebounding tends to be one of the more inconsistent stats, at least how people decide to perceive it. A lot of times, they'll say that someone is just padding their stats and they "steal" rebounds from their own team. They'll also say that X player boxes out and his teammate grabs the board, which is why their stats aren't so high.

What's really happening with Kieff is that he is not a big name so people don't want to acknowledge how good he it. Not to mention he's on a GREAT F*CKING CONTRACT

[oldjeezy]

i really like kieff's offense but he needs to do a better job of boxing out. gives up a lot of o-rebs that way. no player is perfect but i don't think it's too much to ask

I agree. Rebounding is a team effort, though. As a team, we need to do a better job.

[spanishninja]

I hate these guys so much man.

You don't have to look at stats to tell Kieff is a poor rebounder. Just watch his effort level when he's not looking to score. Doesn't make him a bad player it just shows he's more one dimensional.

^this. If you really want to focus on a player, then when watching the games, don't watch the ball, watch the certain player that you want to focus on even if he doesn't have the ball.

That's what I do with Frye when he was here and even though stats showed that he was the 2nd best defender of all time right behind Scottie Pippen, you could tell by watching him specifically how lost he was on defense.

What's funny is that while many Suns fans disagreed with me here, EVERY SINGLE Magic fan on their forum has complained and b**ched about Frye's defense on their forums. Some of them even want Hennigan fired for overpaying him and few are even willing to trade their pick this year to dump Frye.

Kieff is better than Frye but that isn't saying all that much. He just gives piss poor effort on the glass & defensively.

P.J. Tucker rattles in a game-winning three in the face of Blake Griffin, takes Griffin's head and places it on his crotch.

lol

I don't think the stats lie. Of course, no one stat tells the whole truth since all stats are interconnected in all sorts of complex ways.

With a minimum of 500 minutes, Keef is 115th out of 281 qualified players in rebounds per 100 possessions. If we remove players that primarily play the guard position, Keef ranks 110th out of 162 qualified players. That's pretty poor.

Also, in WS/48, he's in the bottom half of our 9 main contributors, with PJ in the middle and Len and the three PGs in the top half.

So while I have nothing against him personally and don't want him traded, there's definitely a lot of room for improvement at this point.

[Matt1979]

We really need to get a consistent three point game going again. Lately the only players I have confidence in shooting them are IT and Gerald Green if he's off balance with a hand in his face.

Others need to step up.

Let's go Cavs!
