Blake Griffin injury

[illmatic99]

If Blake is out as well.... man. Wow.

 

[THE HCP]

I'll wait till WOJ tweets something out till I believe it.

Vecsey is trash, agreed. but Woike's MRI comment is a new revelation, and that came 2 hrs ago.

Surprised we haven't heard a timeline on Chris Paul yet...

 

[Chris Craig]

We need to take advantage of this, but at the same time we can't let this get over our heads....Griffin could show up courtesy of a cortisone shot and play a good game...even without him we need to stop reddick and Crawford....win by respecting they still have guys that can get it done, and come with the same intensity as the last two games....we can win this series

 

[THE HCP]

I still believe that top to bottom they are a deeper more talented team. We have that chemistry and hustle though. Can't go in thinking we got this. Got to keep bringing that intensity......FAMS!

Yep, be confident, but not over confident. Everyone left on that roster is still an NBA player, with talent and pride. Charles Barely once said there are no bad players in the NBA. Some are better than others, but you don't make it to the NBA without some base level of talent that makes you one of the 400 best basketball players on planet Earth.

You believe this even if both Paul and Griffin are lost for the series?

Only if he is trying to double-down on "worst projections of the year" plaque.

I have heard 4 weeks or so, but then I also saw some orthopedist say that there is this new pin they can put in that might have him ready to play in 1 week. I will believe that when I see it.



Edit: Also Vescey's comment is obviously just speculation from last night on Griffin.

But Bottom to bottom we have them killed FAMS!

...

Or even mid to bottom. Jeff Ayres, Branden Dawson, Wesley Johnson, Pablo Prigioni, CJ Wilcox. Say who?

Yeah, I saw that... has anyone else even done it? I never heard of it until literally last night...

They need to keep in mind that the Clipper scrubs beat Utah in Utah when the Jazz desperately needed to win to get into the playoffs.
This will be in LA with at least some starters. I can see this going 7 for sure.

 

[Chris Craig]

Hack Deandre all of game 5?

And let's not forget that the league wants to give Curry as much time as possible to recover...

This series is over in less than a week either way, so this makes no difference to the Blazers.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

The guys on The Fan just said the Clippers will address the media within the hour.

Uh-oh...

 

[kingslayer]

WOW.

 

[Strenuus]

WOW.

Unreal.

[Strenuus]

Griffin just said he was sore... if that thing is not torn.... he should be giving it a go.

 

[Boob-No-More]

WOW.

Who is Janis Carr?

Reporter for one of the LA papers.

Weird that they said done for the playoffs, when there is no structural damage. Maybe this is their white flag?

Never mind, The press release by the Clippers just confirmed what she wrote.

So now comes the tough "Gameplan for people you don't gameplan for as much" deal.... Sometimes these types of games can be really tough...

Yep. Crawford and Aldrich would be the two I am most worried about now.

Also, game 5 kind of seems like a trap game. It shouldn't be, I mean it's freakin' game 5 and it is tied 2-2. But, just worried that Blazers will not rise to occasion with perceived inferior competition with many of the Clippers sidelined.
