The way we defended it last night all they have to do is run the CP3/DJ 2-man game and they will win handily.

I honestly don't know why we don't just go under the screens. We are playing cp3 as if he were Steph or Harden.
 
CP3 will not be allowed to coast for 3 quarters with Blake down. That is good news for us. Griffin faded in the 4th right when CP3 starts stepping up. Him going down when he did was not that big of deal because he has been fading by that point anyways and that is when CP3 steps up and tries to take over. Our hope is that CP3 (like Hayward has been) has to play all out the entire game and is very fatigued by the end of the 4th. If his legs are shot he is much less likely to hit jump shots and be able to drive hard.
 
The x-factor now is Crawford, who has killed us in the past. He was pretty quiet through games 1 and 2 but had a solid impact on offense last night. We just do not have the personnel to defend their back-court effectively.
 
Not surprising news, IMO, since Griffin seems brittle as glass. The guy has played in only 471 of 640 regular season games so far in his career - which amounts to 73 percent. Favors, for instance, has played in 85 percent of his teams' regular season games.

The thing about Blake is that he's actually had some pretty bad injuries and he's recovered well.. Favors has zero major injuries and plays like he's about 80.

Blake is going to end up in OKC, which sucks. The Northwest is going to be pretty legit next year.
 
The Clippers aren't better without him but it doesn't change much for us in this series. We are being beaten by the Chris Paul/Deandre Jordan pick and roll show. We have no answer for it and unless Rudy comes back and is somehow at 80% it's going to cook us. maybe Blake being out with help Snyder feel more comfortable playing different bigs besides Diaw and Favors. I guess this helps us if it leads Snyder to drawing up a strategy to stop Deandre.
