Can Blake Griffin Rescue That Other LA Team?

Today was one of those really strange days that we sometimes have here in Los Angeles. Because when the most famous man in the entire world passes away at a young age (50 is still young in my eyes) it tends to snarl traffic for miles. So, when the Clippers started off the 2009 NBA draft almost no one in this basketball crazy town even seemed to notice what was going on. I think that will change dramatically just as soon as Blake Griffin plays his first game for Ciudad's perennial NBA afterthought. Because Blake Griffin has everything you could want in a tent-pole player. Now I know that a lot of people still question Griffin's NBA potential. Some say he's not quite big enough and others worry he is injury prone, but I beg to differ on both accounts. First of all, after watching pro basketball players over the years I really don't understand why so many people focus strictly on height when talking about size. More teams have blown draft choices using their top pick on guys who are 7 footers ... (link)
