    I like it when those young kids put a little something extra on a dunk. Tonights vs the Lakers was a little reverse job. Griffin seems to like dunking with a twist.

    The boy is unbelievable. He is so talented that he has everybody doing crazy. Some saying he should start some saying he is better than KT. Some say he is being schooled by KT in practice. Some say he is only a good help defender and not a good one-on one defender.

    By now we have seen enough to say that this is the Rockets most talented player, possibly of all time. If he got as much help defensively as he gives, the team would be unstoppable defensively. By the end of this season, barring injuries, he will own this team. It is no use we try to put him into any one position because from what I can see his shooting ranges extends to about 3 ft behind the 3pt line. He can play 5, 4, or 3 and he will dominate at most of these if not all. I am in no rush to see him bulk up to be able to play the 5. I like his quickness and smoothness and I am not too anxious to have those things change.

    I don't care whether the Griffin dunks with zest as long as he dunks early and often -- very often.

    I think that might be his signature dunk. I have seen him do that dunk at least 5 times.

    By VC standards, it's only an "ok" dunk.

    Not too many PFs do 180s in a halfcourt set.

    That probably is his signature dunk, since everytime he's open for a dunk that's what he does.
