Eric Bledsoe
I'd normally never make a thread about a player after a loss but want some honest feedback. What did you think of Bledsoe's game tonight? His overall skillset/defense? He had 14, 5 and 6 tonight to go with a steal and great defense on Conley. I think for him to do this against the top defensive guard unit in the NBA speaks volumes.
Really bummed Vinny was too stupid to play him more.

Re: Eric Bledsoe
He can be a starter on some teams. Him and Bradley are similar players. The energy and defense.

Re: Eric Bledsoe
You're a damn annoying poster and the one of the biggest and least respected homers on the board :) Now that that's out of the way.
Man, he's a good on the ball defender, I think any team would love having a guy in their backcourt. Was impressed with him tonight! Good work by your GM not giving him up in the Paul trade. Be interested to see if he can keep it up in game 7 especially if Paul isn't at full strength.

Re: Eric Bledsoe
It's hard to say because he gets a lot more rest because Cp3 is there. If he was a starter I don't know if he can do this every night. He looked good tonight though.

Re: Eric Bledsoe
Guess I'm the minority. He looks like a very good defensive guard that can rebound and is very athletic. That's it. We've seen a Darren Collison behind CP3 who didn't show anywhere NEAR the highlight beauty that an Eric Bledsoe would show. Yet he showed actual basketball IQ. Where is he? Being a decent PG in Indy.
Bledsoe is worse. More athletic, better defensively but we live in 2012. Defense PG's? Who cares your going to get the fouls. Athletic? Welcome to the club. In the end he's a very good bench player for the Clippers but throw him into the NBA free agency and he's no big deal ..in that sense. Far bigger deal than I am :oldlol:

Re: Eric Bledsoe
Defensive PG's who struggle on offense...they're called SG's.
A PG is what you do with the ball.
I haven't seen enough of his game, but he can play D. If he can't run an offense, at all, or doesn't do much with the ball...then he's not a PG.
What does everyone else think he is?

Download a couple of his games from last year and compare to last night's. You'll see HUGE growth on offense. Last year the guy couldn't run a play without a turnover. Now he's showing great flashes of court vision and dare I say I feel safe when he handles the ball :biggums: . He's looking like a real PG out there. You don't rack up 6 assists in like 18 minutes against a great perimeter defense like Memphis if you can't pass.
Last night he was actually the primary ballhandler. Chris Paul let him run the plays while Chris played off the ball. That being said I've been saying all along he should start at SG. He's 6'0" or 6'1" at best but he's 195 pounds, has a 6'8 wingspan and a 40 inch vert. He's incredibly strong. So obviously he plays bigger than he is. Did you notice the way this guy breaks screens like a freaking NFL running back? He has no problem plowing into Marc Gasol to get through the screens.

Re: Eric Bledsoe
Godsoe delivered.
23 points, 5 rebounds (4 offensive), 4 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks tonight on 10-16 shooting. That's to go with insane defense. Dude is the ONLY Clippers player who brought defensive intensity all game. :applause:

You watch the game? He had a MASSIVE impact on both ends, more so than any other player. He is not the player to blame.

Re: Eric Bledsoe
I've always liked his game, but never considered him much of a scoring threat. I think tonight was a bit of an anomaly in that aspect.
Still, he's a very nice young player.

Well played. :applause: May as well not have even showed up right? CP3 had like 6 points, 5 turnovers. Reality is the 2nd best coach in NBA history did what a great coach does. He game planned and knew exactly how to pick the Clippers apart.

yup, clippers definittely need a new coach, dont know when it'll happen tho

I watched the game, Bledsoe was going in

Re: Eric Bledsoe
during the CP3 trade talks I thought people were hugely overrating Bledsoe.
He has really grown as a player. I didn't see this coming. I am really happy he is on the Clippers.
His confidence has increased tremendously. In his rookie year when he had the ball I'd think "oh crap" and now when he has it I think "ok good"
It's hard to find a good player comparison for what he brings to the table, I guess he is unique in that way. any suggestions? I've heard Avery Bradley mentioned... is that the best comparison??

Re: Eric Bledsoe
Can't believe there was ever a rumor that Clips might trade Bledsoe for Crawford. lol

Re: Eric Bledsoe
Bynum barnes and Sess for Jordan, Bledsoe and Butler.
Deal?
Bynum, Griffin, Barnes, SG, Paul
Jordan, Paul, Butler, Bryant and Bledsoe
Both teams win...

Re: Eric Bledsoe
dude is a ball hawk. love his intensity on D. also, he seems to have a good nose for the ball when it comes to rebounding. dare i say, mini rondo? offensively, he seems to play a little more under control these days. i can't say i've watched him extensively from the beginning though.
overall, his defense for a PG is basically elite....any steps forward in offense is just extra nice. tighter ball handling and passing would seem like it would take his game to the next level. the only problem is that it's hard for VDN to go with a cp3/bledsoe backcourt. they're just too small. while i can see him playing bledsoe closer to 30 mins, it's hard to cram that in there. he should soak up foye and mo's minutes

How do the Lakers win by this?
Bynum is an absolute monster and Sessions is arguably the second best player out of those 6 and the Lakers get back a C who can't do anything but block shots, another PG who can't shoot and Butler who is way past his prime.

I'd pass on that. Jordan and Blake are "bffs", plus Bynum, while having the talent, has shown he is extremely immature and has a past of injuries. Sessions and Barnes have little to no value for the Clippers, I don't even think Barnes is better than Gomes.

Give me Butler and Bledsoe over Sessions. I'm not even sure I'd take a dime a dozen point guard over the potential Jordan has.

Re: Eric Bledsoe
BTW to think OKC could have this guy right now as their back up PG. They traded him to the Clippers for a future, super protected first (Boston has it this year and will pick like 22nd or 23rd).
Thank you OKC!
