1.) I was really wrong about Shane Larkin. I thought he'd struggle as a Knick but he has looked pretty good so far. Hopefully this admission does not jinx him, lol. In any case, I couldn't be happier to be wrong about that guy.

2.) On that same chain of thought, I was definitely wrong about Blake Griffin. Last year I characterized him as an empty numbers guy but he looks pretty good this offseason, especially with that new jump shot of his. That guy has loads of ability and is no doubt an elite player in this league.

So, my bad.

Blake is the most important player on the Clippers I think, more than that top PG and Deeandre. I would take him in a heartbeat. The hell with all that Kobe talk. Phil should trade Jeannie Buss to Doc Rivers for Griffin. I'll throw in Larkin if it helps.

Boogie was at the 5 tonight though. Hawes and Jordan takes most of that blame I would think. Blake does need to step up his defensive game though where he can take over when his centers have their problems. Although, Cousins is a load for Centers and would be an even bigger load for PFs.

Sidenote: Is it me or have the CLippers looked off early? Like they are playing down to their comp

What is this Mae culpa, she is new rb singer?
