Blake Griffin Dunked Pau Gasol to Death Again
Pau Gasol. Poor Pau Gasol. At the beginning of the game, Blake Griffin jumped over Pau’s back for a huge dunk that left Gasol crumpled up on the floor. In the third quarter, Griffin cocked back and dropped the hammer on Gasol. If you look closely, you might notice Pau get hit with a little elbow to the head. Below, I’ve added replays of both dunks in Spanish so that Pau can understand exactly what hit him tonight.
Update: Check out Bynum’s face at the :49 mark. Here’s a grab via @Jose3030]

Cool. Who’s winning?
April 5th, 2012 at 12:34 AM
Leading with forearm? hmmmm… usually a foul.
April 5th, 2012 at 12:40 AM
Gingers can dunk! Lakers have dominated through three quarters though.

Usually I would root for an perennial underdog like the Clippers but Twitter makes me hate them. I guess I’m officially old now – you only get 2 points for a dunk.
Just on onslaught of tweets – like “Pau’s confidence must be shaken”. Um they are up 15. I am sure he’s fine.

Offensive foul. Who won the game? SEO PAGEVIEWS! JAPAN BONERS.

So… this makes Blake Griffin the 2012 version of Vince Carter. I wonder if he will ever go with the Beard to cover the double chin look.

Griffin is more unlikeable than LBJ and Garnett combined

Blake Griffin Dunked Pau Gasol to Death Again
Tee hee.

The title makes me laugh.
In that picture Bynum looks like he’s going to sing “Candyman”

The Clippers and dunks/oops are going to be like the Capitals and President’s Trophies. All well and good, kind of impressive, but the team will never win anything of consequence.

1. Leading with forearm. Foul.
2. Allowing for #1 above, not as many people can perform this dunk as the last one.
3. He changes trajectory in flight, mainly because he uses that forearm shiver as a 2nd launch point for the momentum needed to complete the dunk. So, assuming he doesn’t forearm Pau in the face AND use his body as a launching pad, he doesn’t complete that dunk. Sounds tough to do…

1. It would have been a foul had Gasol been set in position, but he wasn’t able to get up fast enough, so he jumped toward Blake. Had he gone up right where he was Blake would have still dunked on him, it just wouldn’t have put him on the floor and probably wouldn’t have been a foul.
2. There are only a handful of players his size who can jump over a 7-footer to put the ball in.
3. He had to change his trajectory because Pau fouled him.

Both of the big dunks by Griffin were fouls. The first was over the back. The second was a forearm that made contact first before Gasol did anything. The NBA is not basketball, it makes money by being a highlight league. It’s driven more by Sportscenter than by competition.
I love his athleticism, but if Griffin want’s to show true greatness – do a spectacular dunk without committing an offensive foul.
Oh, and who won?
