Nah still too early to judge him, our rotations are very inconsistent. Just think of how many combination's of different lineups we have seen so far this season when we're about to close a game.

Sometimes we'll see Kobe, Brown, Fish finishing games, other games we'll see Artest, Kobe, Brown etc. Not until recently did Phil start giving Blake more minutes with the starting 5.

I really thought when we signed him he'll get at least 28-30+ minutes or actually start for us, Blake right now is averaging his lowest MPG since his 2nd year in the league.



Blake has been the primary backup PG all season

Sadly no, Blake is not better than Farmar


Not really atleast Blake follows orders unlike Farmar. Also you have to remember the triangle offense is awful for PG's.



Blake is an even worse defender than Farmar. He is absolutely useless inside of the 3 point line as a scoring threat, and even from outside he's been clanking wide open 3s. He is a pretty good playmaker but thats about it, although Farmar isnt too bad there himself...

Farmar actually offered a change of pace that worked well with our 2nd unit and could finish in the paint (much better than Blake at least)... Not to mention Farmar is 24 to Blake's 30

I'm not saying Farmar is A LOT better than Blake, but he is better

Steve Blake may be the worst PG defender in the league... He is even worse than Fisher

Seriously hope they don't, something about his arrogance.

Thus why Blake fits in as a starter a lot better Micka.
