View Full Version : Blake Griffin's role is too small for his quality

I mean in Detroit this guy was hobbling and disinterested and pretending hes shit so that he gets traded. But it seems hes overcome his issues and plays 100% again. He can still jump and run and shoot and pass, so why are they using him as a 20 minute player? Surely he can contribute more.

Agreed. Blake is not quite suited to be a first option/max player, but having him as a role player is INCREDIBLY advantageous. Extremely high IQ facilitator, while still being a significant threat to score. Especially if hes not the focus of the other teams defense.

Tbh having Griffin as a role player is the main reason I think the Nets are so dangerous. The supposed Big 3 are very unreliable as leaders, but the luxury of BG as a support player just puts them at such a talent threshold you cant really bet against them. They can afford to be headcases with that much talent. Without BG I honestly wouldnt be sure about that.

True, tho in this case I think he happens to be right.

He's top 5 in minutes? Nash is actually smart to limit him to 20 because his defense will get exposed in the playoffs.

They played like 20 games together and it was between two surgeries for Blake, he could barely run:facepalm

As you missed the fact that Rose and Blake played a handful of games together, but it didnt prevent you from talking didnt it.

He starts at center. And they need the services of some of their taller players like Claxton to protect the rim.

OP is right on this one.


Griff hoodwinked everyone with his no-effort show this season in Detroit.

0 dunks in like 20 last games there.

He was actually a beast last year, its impossible to decline that much out of nowhere.

Then he gets traded and has like 22 dunks in 20 games for Brooklyn.

Griffin was the sole focus of the defense with the Pistons. Now he's the 5th option so obviously hes going to get easy dunks off the action of others.

...Griffin played 18 games last year. You mean 2019.
