What's that all about? They were looking like the Rockets before he went down... Deandre getting more involved it looks.. Thing is Blake's improved nearly every aspect of his game, there are no more weak points for him, so why are they doing so well without him?
Sometimes when a superstar goes down the role players know they need to be excellent and step up . I think with griffin , some of the clips were coasting and expecting to win based off how good Blake is. Now that he's out , players like JJ are picking up more of the slack and knowing they have to perform well if the team wants to win .
It is also a very weak schedule @ Knicks W @ Cavaliers L vs Rockets W vs Kings L vs Heat W (in the midst of losing 7 out of 8) vs Pelicans W vs Hornets W (without Batum/Big Al) and on a horrible losing streak @ Trail Blazers W vs 76ers W @ Pelicans W @ Hornets W (without Big Al) @ Wizards W @ Jazz W
There is a gap with no cp3 and no griffin every year. It's fools gold You cant rely on jamal crawford in the post season chucking up bad contested shots, not playing defense Jordan shrinks in the playoffs and has no halfcourt game. Once the lobs stop he disappears, including rebounding CP3 aint a spring chicken and usually relegates to passing, he needs to look to score more the rest of the guys dont usually do it for long.... but its not different than the last 3 years
