Griffin's Postseason Numbers were 2003 Duncan-esque

[ninephive]

Tim Duncan 2003 Postseason:
24.7 PPG, 15.4 RPG, 5.3 APG, 3.3 BPG, 0.6 SPG, on 52.9% shooting.

Blake Griffin 2015 Postseason:
25.5 PPG, 12.7 RPG, 6.1 APG, 1.0 BPG, 1.0 SPG, on 51.1% shooting.

Duncan's is obviously more impressive because he did it through the Finals, but Blake had a postseason for the ages.

[Bernkastel]

I'll take note when he wins a chip.

[ISHGoat]

Just the basic stats are very misleading, Duncan's 03 run was goat caliber and he dominated the game on both sides

Just scroll a bit further down and view the playoff advanced stats.

Duncan in 03:
.279 ws48
11.6 BPM
2.6 VORP

Griffin this year:
.179 ws48
6.4 bpm
1.2 VORP

You could argue that duncan had almost twice the impact griffin had

[kennethgriffin]

2nd round exit = post season for the ages?

[Ancient Legend]

Yup, that's why numbers lie. In terms of impact, Duncan was/is way ahead.

This is a perfect example of stats not telling the whole story. Also, 0.4 more points, 0.8 more assists, and 0.4 more steals really don't compensate for 2.7 less rebounds and 2.3 less blocks.

TD also actually played defense. Blake looked checked out on that end for long stretches.

griffin also singlehandedly lost them some games. remember when he fumbled the ball out of bounds against the spurs to let them comeback to win. good thing people are not going to look back at these stats years later.

I agree and understand that Griffin's defensive impact was significantly less. But Griffin had an amazing postseason, that's all I'm saying.

Yes he had a statistically great post season, but you are doing Duncan a great disservice by comparing this flopping bitch to a legit top 5 GOAT candidate's most iconic playoff run.

[DFish24]

Like I was saying, Griffin played at a level in these playoffs that KG simply never reached.

I agree, but people are saying Chris Paul didn't have the help he needed again. He had plenty of help.

CP3 had plenty of help, and the core of cp3 + griffin + DJ is indeed formidable. I think it is clear to most people that the role players let them down in the last 3 games, combined with seemingly a lack of urgency.

[greatest-ever]

Yeah except Duncan was playing elite defense throughout the playoffs. Blake ranged anywhere from good to below average at defense.
