THE CLIP SHOW: DeAndre Jordan is “The Undertaker.” Blake Griffin is “Kane.”
BLAKE GRIFFIN AS KANE!!!
It’s Blake Griffin as Kane! It’s Blake Griffin as Kane!!!
I posted this GIF, nicknaming DeAndre Jordan “The Undertaker.” Then this showed up in my email, from M.B. Bowens. So, I tweeted this, and Oakley + Allen tweeted back:
@gotem_coach I love that nickname, can BG be Kane? Great “main man” shout out too, Ahmad would be proud.
Ten minutes later, M.B. Bowens emails me again, this time with the sketch above. I mean, how often do dreams come true?

MY FAVORITE THING: JaVale’s Defense
JaVale McGee is 7-feet tall, with a 7-foot 6½-inch wingspan and a 31½-inch vertical leap. But when Blake Griffin’s in flight, there’s no need to go for the block.
Just turn, and watch in horror.
THE TIME WHEN BLAKE GRIFFIN SAW MY PHOTOSHOP…
So, when the Clips played the Spurs, two of the Greatest “What?!?” Faces met to do battle: Tim Duncan and Blake Griffin. To commemorate the moment, I made these.
Jordan Tuttle (I have no idea who she is) tweeted the Blake version (and took a little shot at me, in the process - although she’s right, I had loads of time), Blake replied, and a follower of mine sent it to me.
“So much disbelief going on there.” - Blake Griffin

Q: Who committed more fouls in the Spurs v. Clippers 2nd Round series: Tim Duncan or Blake Griffin?
A: Tim Duncan and Blake Griffin have never committed a foul, ever, since they’ve been born.
TOP: March 23, 2012 - Jason Smith plows into Blake Griffin. A day later, Smith is suspended 2 games for what Stu Jackson, NBA Executive Vice President Basketball Operations, deemed “excessive contact with the upper body of Griffin.”
BOTTOM: May 15, 2012 - Dwyane Wade barrels into Darren Collison. Unlike Griffin, Collison never saw Wade, who shoved the Indiana PG from behind. Wade, like Smith, made no basketball play. Collison did not have the ball. Wade extended his forearm, pushing Collison underneath the basket.
Given the ruling on Smith, Wade should absolutely be suspended at least one game. Unfortunately, as we all know by now, David Stern is a crook, and the league values Dwyane and the Heat far more than Jason and the Hornets.
