Preseason Game 8: Los Angeles (5-2) VS New Orleans (2-5)

[PETEY PABLO]

I was at yesterday's game. Scored some section 107 seats.David West is a Beast!! wow , this guy is huge. Blake Griffin looks just as big.

A couple of observations:

Sebastian Telfair can not make a shot to save his life. Running the floor and making plays are his strengths. Blake can man up with any body in the nba. He ,like Telfair needs a little refining on his jumper.

Baron can get to the rim just about any time. Last night he took too many 3's . made 1 from my count. He air balled once and bricked 2 more.

I expected a blow out game since CP3 and Okafor did not play. Hornets played hard though. It looked like New Orleans was going to steal one last night. Clippers were a little stagnant and sloppy at times but finished strong. Scoring in bunches and huslting on defense. Clippers also had a couple of calls in their favor that were questionable. I'll take the win regardless.

"Amazin" Blake owns Hilton Armstrong.

Postgame Press Conference: Mike Dunleavy

Was he okay after that dunk? D:

He continued to play, but once he hit the bench he was done. I have not read anything that has even mentioned it, so it's hard to tell.

Griffins two end to end blocks and dunks were awesome, great to see his effort on both ends of the floor

The more I see Bassy play, the more I get excited about the possibilities. He's really shown some unselfish play, and I think he could turn out to be a real difference maker with his playmaking.

And wow @ Griffin. He just makes it look so easy. Looks like he's not even trying out there. You see on the highlights, he just points up, and then just soars for an alleyoop. And his blocks look really impressive.

I'm kinda glad it was a struggle so the team can be focused before the season opener.

I do wonder why novak didn't play. I guess shooters don't need to be in game shape cause they just spot up and wait. Haha

[illastrate]

did I just hear ralph or mike say that blake griffin is likely gonna start our sesason opener?

As if any man in their right mind would bench BG?! Especially after what he's shown in the preseason. The starting position is his....FOR GOOD.

[clippermitch]

I agree Blake should start. On a side note I think Al should hope he doesn't win the starting job. If he starts he won't get any touches with baron, Kaman, Blake, and EG. If he plays with 2nd unit he'll be the main scorer.
