Breaking: Blake Griffin will miss the remainder of the playoffs due to toe injury
Well that's a shame for his career as it seems to mostly be the case, definitely a "not again" scenario from him and likely his team as well. _________________ How NBA 2K18 failed the All-Time Lakers:

Griffin is one of the worst #1 picks I've ever seen who wasn't an outright bust. Harden (#3), (Curry (#7), and DeRozan (#9) are all far superior players who were in that draft class.
Griffin is always injured, is a mediocre defender, and has no real impact on the game. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:

Don't think he is that bad, but people relying on him to be a franchise player would be overpaying. You know who else was always injured? T-Mac.
I think he would do quite well on the Spurs or Grizzlies.

Every year something bad happens to that franchise just when they're on the verge of turning the corner.
2014 - Sterling's racist comments
2015 - Game 6 collapse with Harden on the bench
2016 - Griffin and Paul get hurt
2017 - Griffin gets hurt again
Could this be the bad karma that Sterling built over all those years of being a cheapskate is only really coming to roost over the last few years? _________________ Lakers 49ers Chargers Dodgers
Somebody suggested that Blake go back home to OKC but I doubt that happens since he likes it very much in LA not to mention if he thinks he's playing 2nd fiddle to CP3, wait till he goes back home and play with Westbrook....

Or its the basketball gods punishing the Clippers for stealing CP3 under the Lakers nose....
That injustice lays at the feet of David Stern. He not only lessened CP3 and Howard's chances for a ship he also murdered Jim Buss. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Griffin is one of the worst #1 picks I've ever seen who wasn't an outright bust.
I wouldn't agree with that. The guy's played 7 years and made 4 all-NBA teams. You won't find many #1 picks who did that who aren't in the Hall of Fame.
