    Should the league, especially the west be worried? :eek:

    Lookin pretty good. That last spin move baseline for the fadeaway was sick. Scary if he can keep it up.

    He'll be the best PF in the league by the playoffs

    The guy has it all offensively.

    The pick n pop with him and CP3 would be almost impossible to guard. More so with DJ waiting for an alley oop and shooters like Reddick on the weak side.

    This team is money and they have depth too.

    What in the hell. How the hell did he turn himself into a good jump shooter in one off season?

    him and ibaka were knocking down jump shots last season. Morey can sit around chase his stars and wanting to be flexible all he wants, but my SIG is the truth, the league has changed :cool:

    lol I was at the game last night you can see me in those highlights - but Griffin's jumper was ridiculous - he doesnt have that hitch anymore (or its not nearly pronounced) its much more fluid and more importantly he has confidence in being able to hit that shot.

    now the only thing I wish he would stop doing is the over fancy dribbling - we all know he improved on his handles but every third play he insists on having to cross/dribble behind his back before going into his move

    I would say that Blake Griffin was starting to gain confidence in his outside shooting last season after CP3 was injured.

    That said, the two areas that Flight 32 focused on this offseason was his outside shooting and defense. Doc thinks Blake can be a defensive player of the year candidate in a year or two. Supposedly, he took the Team USA off so he can focus on these areas of his game. For someone that seems to spend a lot of time making commercials, he does actually work on his game quite a bit.

    I've read that Blake Griffin was a point guard in high school so he's always had decent handles...especially for a big.

    He might just had a lucky stroke. Anyways looks like he's only taking these 18ft jumpers now. He became soft PF. A rich man's Yi JianLian
