Blake Griffin to have surgery on knee

[DuMa]

i always get frightenend when i hear the word 'tear' with these athletes. very sad way to go out. but a meniscus tear is not as killer as the ACL

It might be a minor surgery but I imagine his knee will never be the same as it was before the surgery. In other words, the way he continually "jumps" will probably cause him to do damage to the knee and cause him to have another type of injury.

4 months after a torn Meniscus.

If a guy like Bynum can come back from having surgery twice, once on each leg.. Then that gives me confidence that Griffin can do what he can to take care of buisness.

lol a CF86 ****ing told you didnt I? Feel sorry for Blake but lol@CF86

Bledsoe doesn't power dunk as much as Blake Griffin does. And neither does Bynum.


And power dunking repeatedly puts more pressure on the knee than being grounded.

Leave it to ISH to dramatize anything that happens to a Clipper. They will use any chance to bring up a "curse" or bash the Clippers. When Rose got injured he got nothing but love... when Griffin gets injured a bunch of scumbags celebrate the injury and make negative comments about him being done, never being the same etc. An ACL/MCL tear like Rose suffered is about 5 times more severe.

Irrelevant.


I was speaking about having confidence in rehabbing properly.

What Griffin needs to do is realize that a simple layup every now and then, or just a simple jam is easier on the body than continually try and jump 50 feet in the air, and tomahawk windmill it on everyone.

This aint NBA Jam. There are no power up and hot spots. In real life it takes a toll on your body. And if he wants to last he better tone it down a bit... and pick his spots.

he will not be %100 until probably 2 months into the season

[bluechox2]

he just lost 10% of his hops

So he will still have a 34 inch ish vert. Not bad!

hes lucky it was just a tear...he should stop trying to overdo every dunk and just dunk it for the points sake

I agree he doesn't need to be so explosive with every single dunk. Though I can see people bitching and hating him even more if he starts doing simple Tyson Chandler style dunks.
