Blake Griffin. Talk about a man crush. The dude can do no wrong in my eye (except you know, punching the trainer wasn’t smart) I love his game and how much he has evolved over his career. Plus, how can you not love his comedy?

I am a full on LeBron lover. I’ve never understood the hate. Sure, he’s not perfect, but what person is? (Answer: Blake Griffin) He gets chastised for minor things while other athletes get their issues swept aside. I guess that’s part of being potentially the G.O.A.T. Yes, that’s right. I think he’ 1 ring away from overtaking MJ, especially if that ring is to come this year.

I jumped on the Blake Griffin bandwagon. I loved basketball, but didn’t have a team. Freshman year of college, I saw the Blake highlights start to pile up and started watching the team more and more. I loved that they were such underdogs. Then the CP3 trade happened and I was lucky enough to be a fan of an elite team.

Sigh.

IF

everyone is healthy, I think it all comes down to matchups. If the team can face the Spurs in the 2nd round, I don’t think the Western Conference Finals are out of question. However, if they have to face Golden State in the 2nd round, I expect a 5 game series max. We just can’t get out of our own head against them.
