The Trade Deadline: Both the Clippers and QuakeGriffin.com Get Busy

Feb25

View Comments Written by @PHodgdon

Well you’ve all heard by now that our beloved Beard&Blake combo is no more.

The Clippers moved Baron to the Cavs along with this years 1st rounder in exchange for Mo Williams and Jamario Moon.

We’re sad to see both Baron and the resurrection of his career have been shipped off to die in Cleveland. We are excited to see Mo Williams, along with the return of Eric Gordon hopefully soon, spread the floor out even more for Blake. Not to mention Eric Bledsoe seems to have learned just enough from Baron before he was traded away.

@robinlundberg – Robin Lundberg:

I bet Baron Davis never thought his last pass to Blake Griffin would be through a sunroof #wontneedasunroofincleveland

In other news we have our own “trade” to announce here at QuakeGriffin.com.

On his way out is Mike Robinson aka @MrKnowledgeBomb who unfortunately has to move on due to the good old “real world” covering to much of his plate. He’s been great to have on board for the past month or so and a number of the cool Quake T-Shirts were from his creative mind. Hopefully he’ll find his way back here someday down the road. His new Twitter handle is @TheMikeRobinson and you’ll find him tweeting about his beloved Blazers most of the time.

On his way in, we are excited to announce that video editing wizard Maxamillion711, who you more likely know for his excellent work recently running TheBlakeGriffinShow Youtube page, is coming aboard as the official QuakeGriffin.com video editor. We’ll be launching a new QuakeGriffin youtube page sometime next week, which will be the place to go as soon as Blake throws down another “Quake.”

Lastly if any of you QuakeGriffin.com fans out there have an interest in joining the team here as a “highlight blogger” shoot me an e-mail at quakegriffin[at]gmail[dot]com or drop me a line in the comments.

The Quake – Shaking Up Cleveland and Toronto (2/11/11) & (2/13/11)

The Blake Show and Company have lost two tough road games in a row these past couple days. First, on Friday they “helped” the horrific Cleveland Cavaliers snap their ridiculously long losing streak. However, as we get closer and closer to All-Star weekend the Human SportsCenter highlight produced the following:

Tonight Blake just about brought down the house with this lob from Baron – the dynamic duo sent Tremors throughout all of Canada with this beauty.

H/T MrDenverec

It looked pretty darn good from the 20th row too. You gotta love the Raptor fan POV along with the Calderon Jersey-wearing fan’s reaction to the turnover followed by Blake-inspired elation.

"I saw it with my own two eyes…" #1: @Sportsguy33

I’d like to start a new feature hear at Quake Griffin where we highlight reactions from fans who attended the game and saw Blake’s highlights in action. I’m going to call it the “I saw it with my own two eyes…” series. If you’ve been to a game recently featuring the one and only Blake “Quake” Griffin and would like to be part of this series, send me an e-mail or a dm on twitter with a paragraph or two on what it was like to see him with your own two eyes.

Since there is maybe no more famous Clipper fan than ESPN’s the Sports Guy, Bill Simmons, (other than maybe Clipper Darrell, but only die-hard NBA fans know him) and he just so happens to have a new article up today about the Clippers that includes a section about what it’s like to watch Blake in person, I thought it was a good place to start.

@Sportsguy33 from this article:

Against Denver last week, Blake stole the ball and dribbled down the right wing, with Baron Davis trailing to his left and one defender back. As Blake crossed the foul line extended, headed for a seemingly easy layup, he threw the ball back for Baron. To the uninitiated, the pass seemed idiotic. You’re giving up a possible layup? Really? But Clippers fans had been properly trained by this point. They knew. They got it. Blake wanted the Return Oop. Even as Blake was throwing the pass, the buzz started, like a low rumble of a “Whoooaaaaa.” Baron deftly took the pass and lobbed it back (“WHOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAA!”), but Blake was already jumping (“WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAA!”) and climbing and climbing and climbing (here’s where the “Oh God, don’t let him get hurt” sound comes in, which I can’t even spell properly), then the slam (“HARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”) We lost our minds, basically. At halftime, I was still so wired that J.A. Adande teased me, “Look at you, you can’t stop hopping up and down, you’re like a little kid.”

The Quake: Shaking up Golden State (1/9/10)

So they weren’t the most spectacular dunks we’ve seen from Blake Griffin this season, but they were highlights from his 23rd straight double-double performance that led to the Clippers to a 105-91 win over the Golden State Warriors

Here’s Blake’s alley-oop from Baron Davis that was simply that, an alley-oop with a simple two handed finish:

The biggest highlight from last night had to be Blake skying for his 10th rebound of the night:

H/T @outsidethenba

Wow. Just wow.

Last but not least, his put-back dunk in transition can be seen in this video of last night’s game highlights at the 2:20 mark.

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gzmu6EGhaxg]

More important to note though is Baron Davis’ INSANE decision to throw the oop to Eric Gordon at the 0:33 mark!!! Blake was right there and calling for it! Instead we got a boring Gordon lay-up in place of what was sure to be a thunderous throwdown from Blake.

Game Recaps:

ESPN:

“The best part about all of it is we’ve played consistently and played well during this stretch,” Griffin said. “It’s changed from the beginning of the season, where it seemed like we were losing every night for a different reason. Now we’re winning a different way every time. It’s a great feeling.”

Griffin talking about their recent stretch of good play in which the Clippers are 7-3 in their last 10 games since December 17th, good for second in the West in that time.

ClipperBlog – Charlie Widdoes:

In achieving his 12th consecutive 20-10 game, we saw again just how overpowering Grffin can be on a basketball court. It’s not simply that he produced another nice scoring and rebounding total, because, let’s be honest, he is a terrible mismatch for David Lee and the Warriors and we would expect him to dominate. But the way he makes the game so much easier for his teammates is what should truly inspire hope for sustained team success. His presence allows shooters to have space along the perimeter and opens up lanes to penetrate because defenders can’t afford to help off of him.

Clips Nation – Steve Perrin:

[Blake] was 9 for 11 from the line, which was nice to see. He looks more comfortable at the stripe to me right now, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he shoots around 70% the rest of the season. He also almost single handedly got the Warriors bigs into foul trouble. In addition to Lee fouling out, Andres Biedrins was also disqualified with six fouls, and Dorell Wright and Vladimir Radmanovic each picked up 5.

ESPN Los Angeles – Pedro Moura:

Griffin broke the franchise record with his 23rd consecutive double-double Sunday after posting a 23-point, 12-rebound line. It was announced to cheers from the crowd after the final buzzer.
