I can't wait for the NBA/NHL playoffs to be over. They are like 2 months long.
It is a joke that more than half of the league makes the playoffs.

I don't care. How the hell can you justify 53% of the league making the playoffs? It is literally harder to miss the playoffs than to make it.
It's all about money. And even though this year provided good series, I could do without having to watch below .500 face off for 5-7 games.
4 games between Clips/OKC this year.
2-2
OKC 432 points
LAC 428 points
Blake, vs the impenetrable OCK defense averaged 25 points, 12 rebounds, and 5 assists per game.

Did I say they never run it?

According to My Synergy Sports, a service that breaks down and tracks every play type, Griffin scored .88 points per play out of the post last year. Post-up opportunities comprised 35 percent of his offense. How does that compare to some of the league’s best post scorers?
Blake Griffin: .88 PPP, 35% post-ups
Kevin Love: .85 PPP, 24.9% post-ups
LaMarcus Aldridge: .94 PPP, 33.7% post-ups
DeMarcus Cousins: .81 PPP, 24.9% post-ups
It also seems silly that Griffin’s production in the pick-and-roll (1.2 PPP in that setting this year) can be so easily ignored. Pick-and-rolls make up the strong majority of every half-court offense in the league, and Griffin has routinely been one of the best finishers in the league as a roll man.
Let’s not discount Griffin’s passing ability, either. With the exception of Kevin Love, Josh McRoberts and the Gasol brothers, no other power forward or center ranks above Griffin in assist opportunities per game, which is tracked by SportVU and is defined as “passes by a player to a teammate in which the teammate attempts a shot, and if made, would be an assist.”
That confirms what most people who watch Griffin every night already know. Griffin is drawing the attention of multiple defenders whenever he gets the ball, and he’s routinely finding teammates open shots.

From that you can see that Blake is a guy who operates heavily out of the post. He is a great player and easily top 10-15 in the league. He iwll do his damage but aside from posting up what he does best in comparison to many bigs in the league is operate in the post and he has difficulties against the OKC bigs with that.

and pick and rolls
Paul/Griffin/Jordan will have a lot of success on pick and rolls against the Thunder. The Clippers offense is going to be a lot tougher to defend than the Memphis one. Conley was able to weave through the Thunder defense, imagine what Paul will do? Plus, they are far better down low than Memphis. Add in some one they have actually pay attention do out on the wing in Reddic/Crawford.
